Most embarrassing age

For me hands down 13-16, I had a new female Dr because we moved. I had just been to summer camp and the already shy me realized in the communal showers that I was behind almost all the boys my age. I didn’t really grow pubic hair or did my genitals until I was almost 16. At 15 I also experienced my first appointment with a gastroenterologist and that had its own set of embarrassing exams and tests

@Rectoexa I would love to hear more about your gastroenterologist exam at 15.😎

Probably 11 & 12. Up to that age my pediatrician had boys strip to their underpants in the exam room and then had them walk to be weighed and measured in the semi-public alcove at the end of the hall. By age 13 the doctor had moved to another office and that was not done, and I convinced my parents to let me go alone so neither one was in the room during the exam.

However, during ages 13 to 16 I would have been embarrassed if my friends (particularly girls) had known I was going to get or had just gotten a physical. If the topic came up in conversation (like the announcements that school physicals were happening in the nurse's office), all sorts of questions would fly back and forth. I was always glad I could say "I had mine over the summer" and move on to another topic.

Early teens definitely. Younger than that you're too innocent to care. Older than that and you're already starting to become a bit jaded.

I do believe that America's Puritan tradition of body shaming made and still makes an already awkward situation even worse. Young peoples' tendency to gossip and bully doesn't help either.

I would agree that the teen years were definitely awkward for most. Years ago, the healthcare system ignored the feelings of minors. Teens were treated like toddlers, not as young people close to adulthood.

Puberty obviously is. It's the second-most vulnerable stage in your life, after being a baby/toddler, during which you don't comprehend your own vulnerability.

Reading this thread I noticed that some people were embarrassed because they got erection during exams as teens. I can imagine how awful I would be feeling if that happened to me.

My most embarrassing exam wasn't as a teenager but rather in my preteen years of 9-10 years old. My pediatrician would always retract my foreskin at every checkup and exam and if there was any sort of smegma present he would comment about it to whichever parent was in the exam room. Its one thing to be told to make sure you were cleaning your foreskin when you're alone with a doctor. Its completely different to have a doctor pull your foreskin down and point out the smegma to your parents and then remove it with a cotton swab. When you're a kid you don't really know any better or care about it but as a preteen its super embarrassing to the point that I would make sure I spent extra time cleaning myself that morning and double check before the exams just to make sure I didn't have him point out smegma to my mother or father.

My most embarrassing exam was the first gynecologic exam when I was 14. My puberty started quite early, but für a few years there was no regular visit at the doctor for me. Except my mom no one saw me naked after puberty started so it was a big step to being examined on a gyno chair.

The most embarassing age was between 10 and 15. After 15 I started loving it.

Definitely aged 12 for me, early puberty.

Prior to that I had issues, I was a bed wetter and had UTI infections. I had regular checkups with my nice elderly male doctor who examined the head of my penis, no further. He prescribed antibiotics and “the yellow ointment” with follow ups when required.

I did not have shyness of the examinations from that doctor till that point, they came all so often. He never examined my testicles only my penis. I was extremely shy of others seeing me naked, we had communal showers by then, I was the youngster of the class.

By aged 12 I visited the doctor’s surgery alone for the checks after school. I had stopped wetting the bed but was still getting the examinations every few months.

What happened that day was totally unexpected by me.

He examined me down below as usual, but said it was time for me to have a “test” which in his opinion should only be done by a female doctor. He actually asked me for my consent, a first, I felt so grown up, I consented.

He phoned through to a lady doctor who led me through a side door to a narrow completely empty decorated room.

She stood facing me and had me do breathing exercises whilst examining my testicles by massaging them as I stood fully clothed with my legs apart and trousers and underwear dropped to my knees. As she did so she talked gently to me, “relax”, “focus on your breathing not what’s happening down below”, “this is not going to hurt” etc. I became aroused, she stopped massaging and held my testicles until the arousal subsided.

She then back turned and left the room, I got dressed and went back through to my regular male doctor. This was the first time I can remember being embarrassed with him.

He told me that I didn’t need to come back for the urinary issues because I had taken an erection during the test. I was now developed enough I would not wet the bed. He said that when he had examined me at a previous visit he had seen some hairs, so perhaps this test was a little overdue. The thought that the two doctors had been discussing my arousal felt so embarrassing.

I often wonder if this test was necessary, couldn’t the male doctor just have asked me if I got erections? Seeing is believing?

I'd have to go with the majority and say between 11 and 14. I was always a shy kid, and was, then, a bit apprehensive about doctor exams, but at that age, my body was doing weird things as puberty hit, and I was very embarrassed, especially when more attention was paid to the development of my sexual organs.

I have to agree with some others here including RobbyK that it was really the preteen years that were the most embarrassing for me in many ways. It’s hard to describe, but for some reason around ages 8-12 I felt the most humiliated having my most private parts exposed to the room, feeling the rush of cold air down there as the Dr exposed me while I was still dressed. I’ll never forget how embarrassed I felt just at the sound of me being unzipped, knowing my mom was right there hearing and watching. And knowing that I had no say in the matter, it always felt somewhat forced and for some reason I could never predict the exact moment I’d be unzipped.

Not sure what age because everyone matures differently, I would say when hair popped up in the groin area. I might add the musky smell after sweating was very embarrassing. I remember a camping trip when my boxes smelt like a zoo animal exhibit.

Hi.I think it's 15 years.back then, I was very excited by any kind of touch, including medical ones. plus, it just so happens that during arousal I release a lot of lubricant and it flows out of the vagina, then it was like that too. there were cases when, during the examination, I got excited and lubricant flowed out of the vagina onto the examination table, or rather onto the oilcloth. God, I was so ashamed.

At puberty the biggest issue was having friends that passed one of the several milestones such as having your first period,your mom getting you your first training bra, using your first tampon, and even that first kiss from a guy. I would hear my friends tell of these events and I'd start to wonder when mine would be. When several of my friends got their first periods I kept hoping that I would get mine. Then it happened, I was really proud and even overjoyed, but that didn't last very long and soon my friends and I would complain about it showing up on holidays, birthdays and other big events. I couldn't believe it when I got my period earlier in the day of my senior prom. Yuck!

For me it was when I was 13 because I had just grown a small pubic bush at that age and both of my parents were in the room watching as my female pediatrician grabbed my balls although no one saw anything since she reached inside my tighty whities.

Early in development probably like 10-12 for me

For me, it was when I was 13. I had a majorly embarrassing incident at that age -- the last time the pediatrician took my rectal temperature. The short story is that I had an appointment to treat an ear infection. To my horror (but delight in retrospect), the doc insisted on taking my temp that-a-way with my mother standing right next to me as I lay on the exam table. As if that was not enough, a nurse barged-in making three adults in there while I was getting my rectal temp taken.

Here is the longer story from a post made long ago --- https://en.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;msg=577963

I think about age 14. I distinctly remember being worried about getting an erection during my annual physical, enough so that I got one before I even entered the pediatrician's office.

For me, it was around 12, at the onset of puberty. I started developing rather early (at least that’s what the doctors said) and finished very quickly. At times, it was difficult to keep up with all the changes - the coarse hair started to appear in unexpected places, my armpits started to smell, and I started shaving my face.

My whole body felt awkward because all its parts suddenly became larger. I found myself needing larger briefs and T-shirts as my genitals grew and my chest widened. It felt as though, between the ages of 12 and 14, my parents spent more money on shoes and clothes than they had ever spent on me during all the years before that.

By 14, the growth had slowed down significantly, and I began to look like a well-developed adult male, with only one exception. Although my penis had reached its full adult length, it took a couple more years for it to increase in girth.

I think about age 14. I distinctly remember being worried about getting an erection during my annual physical, enough so that I got one before I even entered the pediatrician's office.

Same here. At that age, it doesn't take much to make it pop up and once it is up it stays there a while no matter what you want.

Between the ages of 12 and 16. Why puberty was so embarrassing then, I have no idea. Now it seems like not a big deal because everyone went through it.

I was pretty aware even as a young child and always hated my male doctor checking my vagina, which he did every single time, no warning. I still have memories of being 4-5 and sitting on the table in only my panties and my doctor just plunging his hand down into my panties and feeling between my lips. I was mortified. I remember another time he had me bend over, in only panties then pulled them down and checked my bottom while he sat behind me. Then I think at this same visit he opened up the front of my panties too while I was lying down and looked forever!

Definitely 15 as the nurse had me stripped down to just briefs and the dr did a full head to toe which included her having me lay down and my underwear band being pulled up and away all while she took a look and feel

For me is was about 15 years old. I was well into puberty and my mom was still going into the exam room with me. I would be underdressed to just my white jockeys for the exam and the doctor would pull you brief down with standing so he examine your genitals and then bend you over the table to exam to your anus.

Mine was at my physical when I was turning 14. I’ve described it before. The one where my dad watched the hernia exam over the doctor’s shoulders and I saw my brothers cock. Anyway I knew about the hernia exam and I knew there was couching involved and it involved the balls but I had no idea what to expect. I thought I was going to get one that year until the doctor checked my genitals lying down and I thought I was home free. But then he kind of snapped his fingers and said oh I can’t forget to check you for a hernia and he had me stand up and pull down my underwear again. I had no idea his whole finger would be up there and the hand so close. I think that was the most embarrassing exam I had so I’ll go with age 14. I was also fourteen when my parents rushed me to the pediatrician because they thought I’d had a hernia carrying an amplifier up stairs and I was completely naked in front of my dad. So definitely 14.

The most embarrassing age for a physical exam is 11-14 when you’re in the puberty stages because you have control over your body. Sudden growth spurts, voice cracking, hair growing in unexpected places and spontaneous erections to name a few.

My most embarrassing exam happened at 14 when I accompanied my mother to the doctor office for her pre screening for her future procedure. My sister and grandmother came along. It was embarrassing first and foremost because it wasn’t planned. We were all in the room together and after the doctor finished with my mom’s questions she told the doctor she wanted me to have a physical exam.

Without regard for modesty (that’s just how doctors operated back then) he went into action asking me to remove my shirt as he checked my eyes, throat, ears, heart and took my vitals. I already had arm pitts hair, a trail from my belly button down to my privates and hairy legs. was undressed down to my white briefs as I stood on scale then sat on the edge of the exam table facing my family who were 2 feet away. The doctor said these must come off for my genital exam and he pulled my underwear down. With the testosterone hormones raging at the time I got a semi hard on. My family had not seen me naked since I was 9 or 10 so seeing me in full blown puberty was obviously a surprise to them. Yes I was embarrassed but at the same time I felt proud too because a hairy body was a sign of masculinity back then. My grandmother’s eyes got big and she turned away while my mom and sister never blinked. The doctor said everything is fine and said I could get dressed and leave.

Just turning 15 1984 having 2 nurses at the emergency room take my temperature in my butt with my mom in the cubicle with only curtains around dividing the exam tables .the nurse asking mom if she had been taking my temperature. Mom telling them no because I was vomiting so much . That’s when she said she need to get a different thermometer . Mom telling me that she thought I was going to get it that way . She returned with 2nd nurse and a rectal thermometer in hand leaving the front curtain mostly open . After that seeing the Doctor I had blood work. I got a shot in the butt for vomiting and a Tylenol suppository for fever . I got a prescription from phenergan suppositories

I don’t care if you are 17 or 25, the first time you go to the gyn will for sure be the most embarrassing visit for a girl. The exposure and touches are cranked to 11. Even the lighting is more extreme.
