At what age did medical exams first start becoming enjoyable for you, rather than just routine?

And how perceptive was your healthcare provider or parent / guardian to your shift in attitude?

I started to realize, acknowledge it when I was in my early twenties. I was starting to work jobs that required pre employment physicals and began realizing that I was looking forward to going to clinic and getting the physicals done. That I didn't mind going and that I was actually enjoying the examination.

I can think of two occasions were I am pretty sure the doctor knew how the experience was making me feel.

It was when I entered college at a large state university and most of the medical providers were female nurses practitioners or doctors, and they wanted to do regular STD testing for anyone sexually active so it meant a genital exams followed by a swab. The swab was unpleasant but always the last thing they would do and I would often get erect during the physical examination of my genitals.

Since always, but that doesn't mean that i also wanted them to happen though. When i was a kid, for some reason i didn't want my medical fantasies to become real. Maybe i was afraid of the intensity of the excitement?

Didn't realize at the time maybe young as 7; for sure 10 without question.

I distinctly remember hating going to any type of doctor appointment as a young child and preteen. It was around age 14-15 that I realized I secretly loved exams and it became a net positive for me after that point.

The first exams I remember are from around age 5-7. They were my first sexual experiences ever.

I only realised it after the different exams I did have. Especially after the military draft exams it started to sink in quite some time after the exams. I first wanted to file a complaint, bit realised that it would definitely be my word against theirs and I didn’t have anything to prove …

10-11 years old.

Yeap. 10-11 also.

Around 11, once I started puberty.

I started getting aroused at 8 years old, when the pediatrician palpated my lower abdomen and then put his hands into my underpants to palpate my testicles.

I was age nine. I remember since it was the first time I was wearing boxer shorts instead of briefs. The nurse made the comment that I was wearing big boy underwear. That was the first time I remember getting a little erect.

Since I didn't have routine exams, I think every exam of my genitals I can remember was enjoyable during my childhood.

It started slowly.

I was always kind of "interested" but it kind of grew slowly into it's current interest over my teenage years.

In my late teens, when I was old enough to go to the doctor without my mother, the visits became more enjoyable. I definitely knew about my fetish much earlier though, during my grade school years.

I was 15, first time ever examined by a female doctor (who was probably only a year or two out of residency) Hadn’t given it much thought at all until the abdominal exam. Realized how nice it felt. Then she said the words that I’ll remember forever “I have to do a testicular exam.”

It was 15/16 for me, but I never really minded going.
