Bare chest policy at pediatrician

How was the policy of undressing for auscultation of heart and general examination (e.g. checkups) of the upper body at your pediatrician?

For women: can you leave your bra/bustier on? Maybe it was necessary to wear a bra for not being bare chested because undershirts are not allowed?

For men: Were vest allowed? Were you shirtless for the whole time?

Every pediatrician I went to required me to strip to my underwear (briefs), no matter the reason for the visit. As

they would always do a chest exam, this made sense. It also added to a feeling of surrender to his authority, which is a bonus, as it made me feel compliant.

It was always the same, namely, strip to my briefs and be examined such that my briefs would be lowered or removed when it was time to check my genitals!

I didn't go to a pediatrician, my doctor was the GP that my whole family used. (Circa 1950's-60's) From my earliest memory up through my teen years any office visit meant stripping to underpants only. Underpants would be lowered for genital checks and RTs (though age 8 ) but often removed if getting a shot. I was skinny as a kid but as I developed upper body muscles more shots were given in the arm.

Typically we were dressed for most of the exam and the doctor would lift up our shirts or go under. Only one time off the top of my head did I have to remove my shirt at my standard visit. There were a couple of different doctors that did it differently. I was stripped more bare for my first sports physical and wore a gown for one visit when I was young.

I didn't have a pediatrician, I only went to a GP when I was ill as a kid.

Nine times out-of ten I had to strip down to my underpants. The odd time I didn't I was still asked to take my t-shirt off for them to listen to me.

At our pediatrician we had to take everything of and only underpants were ok.

At pediatrician I usually stripped to my underwear, no gown for all visits.

At the pediatrician, the nurse would always say "everything off except underpants". Up until about age 8 the doctor would always do the regular parts of the checkup first, and then take down the underpants to handle and examine my "boy parts". My mom's eyes would always light up, and a big smile would come over her face as she stared with a profound look of fulfillment at my naked penis and testicles. From age 9 the pediatrician varied when he would strip me naked for the male genitalia examination. Sometimes he'd do it in the middle of the checkup, and even sometimes toward the beginning. This seemed to delight my mom even more. I loved that my mom derived great joy from seeing my completely naked male body and bare penis and testicles, and I looked forward each year with increasing sexual arousal to having her see me stripped and naked. The crescendo of those pediatric physicals was during my first checkup after sprouting pubic hair. I was already mostly erect in the underpants, and when off came the underpants and mom expressed her delight that some hair had begun to grow above my penis, up up went the penis to full erection and squirt squirt squirt went the semen from my erect, hairy, naked penis. I'd never seen Mom smile more as she licked her lips and locked her eyes on the semen running down her "beloved boy's" nude, hairy penis.

It depends on the reason I went to the pediatrician. If it was a visit due to illness, I usually only took off my shirt so that the doctor could auscultate my heart and lungs. During periodic examinations, I was usually asked to strip down to my underwear and then lower it to examine my intimate parts.

It was shirt off or down to undies. Never had any options.
