Erections during examination

It definitely happened fairly easily when I was in my teens, but I become erect far less spontaneously now. Now I do often get "nervous" boners, so to speak, so it's not uncommon for me to be hard momentarily when waiting for the doctor or when they're examining something else (abdominal palpation practically guarantee one for some reason), but it's almost always gone by the time the actual genital exam comes around. If it does at all, that is 😢

While it has only been twice ever that I was erect while my penis was being examined -- my last visit to the pediatrician on my 16th birthday, and another exam at a gay men's health clinic in my late 20s, those have been the only two extensive genital exams I've received since I was most of the way through puberty, so I guess that's 100% of the time.

(abdominal palpation practically guarantee one for some reason)

Same. At my last two annual well checks, I became erect as he palpated my lower abdomen, but I was fully clothed.

After a soccer tournament, I ended up in the hospital with a broken arm and leg. After the surgery, my leg had to remain immobilized for a while, and I had to stay in the hospital. Every morning I was woken up (far too early) and was washed and cared for. Once the pain had subsided, I did occasionally wake up with an erection. Changing that situation before being washed wasn’t exactly easy—especially with the one I still remember by my nickname for her, the “blonde angel.” But: it never became embarrassing.

But during a normal doctor’s visit or even during the military medical examination, it has never happened—and I can’t imagine it happening to me either.

Yup they happen. I probably wouldn’t have the fetish if it wasn’t for getting one when I was 13 getting a genital exam from my new female dr and her nurse watching. I started getting hard as soon as I slipped off my underwear, as soon as she touched me I was erect. I was embarrassed and she nor the nurse could have cared less. If happened again at 17 and same thing no big deal.

Yes once when I was 16. I was standing up with my boxers at my knees as he started the genital exam. Was incredibly embarrassing because he commented on the size and asked questions about my development….at that age it was mortifying for someone to see and then to discuss

Having and erection was always my biggest fear when I went to the doctor as a teenager. But fortunately, it never actually happened. I had many exams for sports and other things as a teen and of course they always ended with a genital and/or hernia exam. Many of my exams were at the hands of female doctors. But usually they were quick enough that nothing would happen that fast. I do remember sometimes getting an erection afterwards maybe on the way home. It was very exciting thinking about what had just happened.

For me, my heart rate goes up and I try really hard not to get one….but never fails.

I remember having an erection during my genital exams starting at nine years old it wasn't something I tried to get it just happened. I finally got self control over my erections in my teenage years. I never was embarrassed by getting one.

I have gotten erections at a lot of my exams over the years. Usually they are semi, and go relatively unnoticed…. Several times as a teenager it was embarrassing, but to be expected. When i was 29 y/o and received my first ever prostate exam (I’ve written about it here). My wife was also in the room when it happened. After getting a finger put up my butt, the NP doing the exam had me turn around and she proceeded to check my raging hard erection, which was leaking pre cum. She made her diagnosis of prostatitis and told me i could get dressed (i was wearing only socks and a paper gown). Once the NP left the room, my wife giggled and made a comment like “looks like you enjoyed that”. I was mortified.

So far, I've always managed to control myself, including last time at my lovely dermatologist's office.

Now, I don't think I'm infallible, and I always get a little anxious before an examination.

I think doctors are used to this possible reaction from our bodies.

Let me say that i had an older maybe late 60s or 70s male doctor and then he went to some hospital and i was assigned a new doctor and she was in her early 30s and incredibly beautiful. She was very caring concerned she did a lot of things to help me in a difficult time when i was getting divorced. It was especially tough when my prostate was acting up and i had to talk to her about my sex life and what was going on. But i never looked at her sexually and i never had an erection while in a medical setting.

Almost every single time when I was in my teens and 20s, regardless of the gender of the doctor. It was a guaranteed response the moment I dropped my short, and no matter what I tried to imagine in my head, my penis had a mind of its own. Since then, it was more a semi, but most of the time, doctors don't perform genital exams as a routine part of the physical, so it has been very occasionally, if at all, that I am exposed.
