Language used to initiate genital exam

LLet’s slip them down a bit” then he would lower my underwear a bit, start a bit. Then lower then some more to check balls.

When I was younger the doctor of one of my friends would say something like “be a good lad and pull your underwear down to here” with the doctor placing his hands at the patient’s knees.

I was curious to know what phrases your doctor used to initiate the start of the physical exam? My doctor often used “let’s take a look at things”

I do not recall any of my doctors saying anything more than, "Stand up in front of me and drop your underwear." I think that maybe one doctor added, "I need to check for a hernia." Still most have been quite abrupt and some just have pulled my underwear down themselves and said nothing of what they were going to do. I remember as a child that was pretty frightening since they didn't say what they were going to do. Obviously, as I got older I knew what they were going to do and from there on I expected it to happen in every exam.

At a urologist, started with "let's examine you..... Drop you pants and hold up your shirt" . Then after checking around pubes then testicles he said: "Both elbows on the exam table, you know the drill; assume the position"

Yes he really said that!!

First the nurse at my local clinic always escorts me to the exam room. He then ask me to take everything off but my underwear which are usually white briefs. once I have done so he takes my weight and other vitals and instructs me to sit on the exam table and wait for the doctor. once the doctor is done with his normal procedures he then ask me to stand up and remove my briefs. I remain naked for the remainder of the exam including genital and rectal exams

My current doctor isn't much on annual physicals, so I've never had a testicular exam from him. My previous doctor was a lovely woman in her 50's, and she did do annual physicals. After a very thorough palpating of my bare abdomen, with me supine on her exam table (jeans around my knees but bikini briefs in place), she would have me stand up and usually said something like, "Will you lower your shorts for me?"

An earlier post quoting a doctor referring to "the family jewels" reminded me of an unusual experience. One of my female neighbors is a Rolfing specialist, and I was a client. I had always had a crush on her, so I have to admit that I enjoyed her working on me (painful though it sometimes was), especially given that she asked me to wear only my bikini briefs as she did.

In one session, after a lot of very intense work on the "I.T. bands" on my outer thighs, she told me she would be working on my inner thighs as well. Very OK with me, and some of the work was impossible to do without touching the sides of my scrotum. She just smiled and said, "There's two ways to do this. If you like, you can use your hand to hold the, um, family jewels to the side while I'm working in there. Or if you're OK with the fact that I might jostle you now and then, I can actually do more with just my hands there. Your call."

I told her that I was fine with her doing whatever she needed to do in there. She nodded and went back to work. She did "jostle me now and then," and though I didn't get a full erection, by the time she was finished I was definitely most of the way there, and she could not have failed to notice that, or the dark drop of pre-cum on my briefs. She seemed OK with the 'compliment,' and didn't say anything... But there were no other "jewel encounters" in later sessions.

During my pediatrician physical examinations I never got an explanation of what the doctor was doing or was preparing to do. When it was the time for the genital examination, he was of very few words with me. He just said to me: -undress all naked-

I was ashamed of nudity and I was often uncooperant but the doctor assistant always settle the issue with me quickly. She said -be a good boy or I have to punish you- and undress me completely keeping me firmly on the examination table. Then the doctor could start the genital examination.

In my adult life ... most of my doctors have not needed to provide any communication before the genital exam. Upon witnessing the donning of the examination gloves, I immediately remove my underwear or toss aside the exam gown.

I miss those days

My doctor just calmly asks me to slip my boxers down so he can examine my genitals and prostate. Those words get me hard every time .

Often, for me,the language I find exciting is instruction for positioning in preparation for the genital exam. What I am referring to is the language or motions the doctor utilizes to move me into the position he prefers for the examination of the penis and testes and hernia. The most recent physical I went through I was stripped to my briefs. After sitting on the end of the exam table with me feet resting on the pull out step for the portions of the exam dealing with the body parts above the waist, I was told to lie back supine for the abdominal. The doctor pulled out the foot extension on the table so I could rest my legs and feet on it. After the auscultation and palpation of the abdomen, he pushed the foot extension back in and said “stand here on the pedestal” as he pointed to the pull out step at the end of the table base. “All the way up. Right here on the pedestal.” I have no idea why he added the line “All the way up,” since I immediately complied with the command. It made me wonder if someone had not stood up. I got the queasy feeling I always get in my stomach when I know that embarrassing part of the examination is about to happen and then heard the phrase “go ahead and pull your underwear down.” I went home immediately afterward and masturbated thinking about the “stand here on the pedestal” line.

My doctors typically just say let’s gave a look as she’s pulling down my underwear. No very often do I get the finger.

I think my favorite was always how my pediatrician did it when I was a teenager. I'd be lying on the exam table wearing shorts and briefs. As he was performing the abdominal exam, he would undo my belt, button, and zipper to palpate my lower abdomen. With one hand, he lifted the waistband of my briefs, and with his other he palpated my lower abdomen. I was always completely erect by now, so as soon as he lifted my briefs me boner was there pointing him in the face. Then, he was say, "Okay, now I just need to have a look all the way down here." He would then grab the the head of my penis and use his thumbs to open the meatus. I remember lifting my head up to look down and see his hands all over my penis. He placed a hand on my chest and said, "Just relax." With that it was clear that he can examine me as long as he wanted. He'd then shift my penis left-right-up-down to visualize the shaft on all sides. Then he slid his hands all the way into my briefs to palpate my testicles.

This sounds like a great experience to think back about. I love how the doctor asserted control by taking your shorts and briefs down instead of having you do it, especially while standing over you as you lay back. He was going to determine when he saw your penis and you were just a passive participant. The phrase “I need to have a look all the way down here” is very condescending like he was talking down to a kid. I suspect you have masturbated to this memory many times.

I don’t recall many of my doctors saying much when it was time to check my genitals. Indeed, there was an exam with my pediatrician when I was maybe 11 or12 that I”ll never forget . For me, a normal exam was me stripped down to my briefs while the nurse talked (Med.history) to my mom and getting stuff out for the doctor. Then She finished my BP she said “the doctor will be checking ‘your privates’ today” followed by the doctor will be in shortly. I thought it was weird since he always checked and felt my penis and testicles. He’d me lay on my back as he lifted the waistband up and slid his hand into my underwear. As he started ,said “ just need to check down here lay still and don’t move.” I continued to stare at the ceiling as his hand moved my penis around followed by a gentle squeeze on each testicle and scrotum.

After he checked my reflexes, exercises and checked my spine he simply grabbed the waistband to my underwear an pulled them down to my knees. Next, beside checking my penis and testicles he gave me a hernia exam.

So, the nurses phase “checking your privates” translated to the doctor pulling your underwear down- having your penis,foreskin, testicles and hernia exam. For the next few year I always opted in having my mom leave during my physicals.

During my high school physicals the nurses used a similar phrase. It was either : “ your going to drop your pants & underwear for the doctor so he can check your privates”. The other phrase: “drop your pants/ underwear for the doctor he’ll check your penis, testicles and a hernia exam”. The doctor would say “ok, drop’em” at the same time he motioned you to drop your pants.

Since college I’ve gone to the same doctor office but had different doctor over the years. Most just say “stand up and drop your underwear or (shorts,boxers,skivvies, briefs).” Normally, if it was the first time with the doctor they would enquire “your foreskin any issues or when retracting it -loose or tight” before proceeding with the exam. Plus, there is always the “I need to check you for a hernia.” I had a female doctor once, at the start of the exam she asked if I would prefer a 3rd party during the exam. Then Again, before for she asked me to stand up and drop my underwear. My current doctor, rarely gives me instructions but rather plenty of small talk. While he is putting on his gloves normally my underwear is already pulled down. When I began going to he would say “ it that time agIn, drop your shorts and I”ll also be checking you for a hernia.”

.

I don't recall much of anything being said as I lay on the table while he palpated my belly, or even when he slid the waistband of my shorts down and either reached in to examine my groin area, or actually pulled them down on my thighs to examine my genitals. I do remember that after the first time, I didn't have to be asked to raise my bottom up a little so he could slide buy shorts down.

But the speech that always got me excited went something like:

"OK, lets have you hop down off the table and come stand over here facing me (he'd be sitting on a short stool and have put gloves on).

Good, now take your shorts all the way off and we'll check you for hernias."

'Look to the left and cough for me."

"Good."

"Look the other way and cough again."

"Good."

"Now turn around, spread your legs a little and bend over for me. You can put your hands on your knees."

"We'll just have a quick look at your bottom (there'd be some spreading of my cheeks and touching around my rectum).

"Great. Everything looks fine. Go ahead and get dressed and then we'll have your mom come in and I'll tell her how well you're doing."

That was the routine until the physical the year I turned 14 and was going off to private school. The exact words have been forgotten, but involved "a complete exam", "becoming a man". etc. It was the first time having a finger in my rectum and life was never the same afterwards.

My doctor would usually say nothing; he would just slide his hands into my underwear and pull them out or down and start feeling my genitals

It has morphed over the years. My current doctor goes something like this-

“Scooch down until you feel my hand.” She touches my thigh when I’m down enough.

“Part your legs”. On goes the snake light.

“I’m going to begin the pelvic exam now. Try to relax”. Then you feel some spreading, etc.

When I was younger the doctor would say “I need to check between your legs”. And that morphed into “I’m going to do a brief vaginal exam now. Drop your undies to your knees”

One time my family doctor had to do a rectal exam. After I was positioned she announced “you are going to feel a gloopy finger”. I guess that’s one way to put it.

I have come to appreciate and anticipate that doctors vary in how they direct me at this point in an exam. It is certainly something that I anticipate from the moment I arrive and subsequently enter an exam room. A very recent doctor had me strip to my t shirt and briefs. He was able to readjust my t-shirt but when it came time for my genital exam, he said, "Let's take these off. It's time to check and also give you a rectal exam." Dutifully, I lifted up and removed them as instructed. He then went about examining my penis, shinning a light at the meatus, and subsequently rotating each testicle before making me stand and spread my legs for a hernia check. Then he asked me to face the table and lean onto my elbows. He spread me and then "This will feel a little cold," as he pushed in and I clenched some only to hear, "Deep breaths."

I am guessing we all experience this or some variation of it and that's a good thing.

He then went about examining my penis, shinning a light at the meatus

That sounds like a great degrading exam of the penis! I have never experienced a doctor shining a light at the meatus. Was it a pocket light or did he use the one from the otoscope on the wall?

The last exam I had, the instructions and language used were very direct and to the point. Something along the lines of "Go ahead and stand over here." Then the instruction to "Lift the bottom of the gown up."

My new urologists said as she was putting on gloves. “Don’t be embarrassed but it’s time to check under the hood. Pants and shorts all the way down, spread your feet apart and lift up your shirt facing me.”

When I was younger and my mom was still in the room he would say something like “ok let’s hop down and drop your drawers”. That would be a hint so my mom would pick up a magazine and hopefully not catch too much of an eye full.

Mine was simply a request to take my underwear off now and he said he would come right back. Since I was sat naked waiting I knew what was coming.

Growing up as a kid it was stuff like i am going to check your privates moving to my teens it was stuff like i want to check your girl parts. Now it's stuff like scoot down till you feel my hand no mistaking what that means lol.

My urologist said "ok lets do the exam now, first I will check the front, then the back." So I dropped drawers and she checked the front. Then she turned around and patted on the exam table and said "just put your elbows here." Then a very quick in and out and it was over.

"Lower your briefs."

Happened to me once. Military induction, lady doctor.

Last time it was an older lady and she said "Ok, now I need to check your penis and testicles so I need you to stand up and pull down your pants". She was way to fast though.

Since then I've been to 2 Male Dr's who did not check anything. No clothes off, nothing. Just stethoscope over the shirt. Very disappointing.
