Penis lifted up with a wooden spatula or tongue depressor during an exam?

Do any males recall having their penises lifted up with a wooden spatula or tongue depressor during an exam?

No--but it sounds nice! 😉

No never, but have heard from others that this has happened as an alternative to holding your penis out of the way during an exam.

No, never up to now. Sounds a bit strange to me.

Nope, never in my experience. The most I remember is the physician retracting my foreskin to examine my glans when I was younger. Other than that nothing.

Never had that done.

This has never happened to me.

Nope, never happened to me 😃

No, but it sounds interesting

No. It has not happened to me.

Never happened to me. Rather have the Dr do it with his fingers.

No, doc used his fingers. but he did lift up my penis.

A doctor using a spoon or spatula to lift the penis out of the way sounds pretty stupid to me. If someone was going to use a spoon or spatula to lift my breast out of the way, I would be gone from their practice in an instant. I don't want a doctor who is afraid to touch me. Put on a pair of gloves and do what you have to do.

Sounds to me like a patient had some idle time while waiting for the doc to come in & begin his exam, looked over at the table, saw the wooden tongue depressors, and the bored and idle mind tried to be creative with what little there was in the room to see, and thought about if it had ever been used to move a penis "out of the way", since penises are sometimes moved out of the way.

When I was 20 I went for a physical , it was my parents doctor I felt like he was a hundred years old. my whole exam was done sitting in a chair shirt off. When he told me to stand up and drop my pants and lower my underwear he used a tongue repressor to lift my penis and testicles. I try to block that exam and never went back to him.

I've never heard of this being done. I fail to see what the point of examining the penis in this way would be. Seems very counterproductive, especially given the fact that there's not a lot of information a physician would be able to gather by doing this. They invented gloves for a reason, after all.

I’d venture a guess that this is exceedingly rare... if a doctor ever tried that on me I’d immediately question him or her.

Never had that happen but I did have a tech use a folded cloth to hold my penis against my stomach for a testicular ultrasound

Usually during a testicular ultrasound, they have the patient hold his penis out of the way.

Right...she folded the towel, used it to left up my penis and told me to hold it in place

I can't say this has ever happened to me, nor do I really see why it would be done... Not a bad fantasy, though...

During ultrasounds I had of testicles they just asked me to cover the penis with a towel and did the ultrasound

I too had a female tech move my penis with the drape during a testicular ultrasound-

I don't ever recall that

Never heard of that. My doctor briefly lifts my penis up to examine it but just uses his fingers.

Never had that happen but I did have an angiogram at a hospital that was a teaching hospital so a student nurse shaved me and then again by the supervising nurse because she wanted it done right.

No, just gloved fingers as an adult. As a kid, I don't remember bothering with gloves.

I've never heard of this either. Usually the doctor just examines my testicles without moving my penis.

No penis movement. I remember as a kid the doctor spent extra time examining me telling my mom he was looking for “spots” on my scrotum since it was common for kids to have that. Still to this day I have no idea what he was talking about.

The doc performs manual palpation off my testicles and retracts foreskin to exclude phimosis. Of course his/her hands are always gloved.
