Frighteningly thrilling medical instruction

"Pull down your pants and bend over" (for an injection) simultaneously scares me and turns me on with excited apprehension - particularly when the words are uttered by a beautiful nurse and especially when accompanied by the false assurance, "this won't hurt" (which usually means it will hurt). Even better/worse is being asked if I want to be held down to get it.

Last year I had a pretty nurse give me a shot in my butt. That was the first I have had in forty years. I found it quite exciting!

Even better/worse is being asked if I want to be held down to get it.

Has someone asked you if you wanted to be held down to get a shot?

I've never been held down for an injection, but I hate needles all the same. Usually someone is there talking to me and trying to take my mind off the shot or taking blood from my arm.

A medical procedure that will hurt, I don't find it thrilling to receive, give, or watch someone else receive it. That is just me.

The only time I was asked if I wanted to be held down was for the last in a series of daily penicillin shots, by which time both cheeks were so sore I couldn't sit on them.

At the age of 12 my mother explained to me that my foreskin needed to be "snipped" (circumcised). Sounded painful. She commented that it would be just the tight puce colored skin on the very tip of my "peter" that the doctor needed to cut off. Then the remaining foreskin could be slid back to expose the "head" (glans). "It will be quick and the pain will be brief" but it needed to be done. Still sounded painful. Finally, I reluctantly agreed. She made an appointment for a week later. I was anxious the following week. I would stand in front of a full length mirror, gazing at my "peter", wondering what my "peter" would look like after the "snip". The day finally came and I was off to the doctor. The anxiety was building and I soon found myself on the exam table with the doctor examining my "peter" and foreskin. The doctor concluded that a "stretching" was in order. He inserted a hemostat into the tip of my foreskin and opened it wide. OUCH!!!! A nerve block was needed so I received several injections into my "peter" and foreskin. OUCH AGAIN!!!! Finally my "peter" and foreskin was numb. The doctor re-inserted the hemostat into my foreskin and opened it wide (my foreskin stretched to 3 times the width of my "peter"). The doctor pulled the hemostat out of my foreskin in the opened position. He repeated the procedure several times until he felt my foreskin was stretched and then retracted my foreskin to expose the "head". I was bleeding. He pulled my foreskin back so that the entire inner surface of my foreskin was exposed and bandaged it in that position. He explained to my mother and me that I should keep it retracted all the time. I was to return in a couple of weeks for an evaluation.

Frightening - YES, Thrilling - No.
