Guys- reactions to an erection

I never got fully hard during an exam growing up but I definitely would at least get semi! And usually only happened while I was lying down and he was examining it.

And sometimes I would be embarrassed and my doctor would say things like “don’t be embarrassed, it happens to all boys your age” or “that’s a good sign for your development so don’t be shy, it’s not the first time it’s happened” or my favorite comment “don’t cover yourself please, it always happens so there’s nothing to hide. It’s very normal and healthy”

What did your doc say (if anything) to you if you got an erection during the genital exam? Did you have a male or female doc? Was it the same comment every time it happened? Did you get embarrassed? Were you lying down or standing In front of them when it happened?

I had a prostate check from a female GP, about half my age. It produced the inevitable erection, which I laughed off by saying 'who's fault is that, yours or mine?' I sensed that she was as embarassed as I was and I finished off by turning the whole thing into a joke, which defused the situation.

Basically the same stuffs your doctor told you, "everything seems to be working normally". I was lying down and he stimulated my penis with a few quick strokes, so I got a semi-erection also.
