Girls knowing what happens at boys' school physicals

The girls at my schools definitely had at least a general idea of what happened at boys physicals, even from an early age. Occasionally there would be some teasing or laughing, but for the most part they seemed curious about it all. Most of the short conversations I've had with female friends when I was in school involved them questioning us guys, not usually making fun of us. Are you completely naked? The whole time or just that part? Do they actually grab your balls? Hold them? Squeeze them? Why do you cough? Why turn your head? Does it hurt? Feel good? Did you get hard? That kind of stuff. I must say that I almost always got hard during the conversations.

I didn't like it either. I thought girls were mean. Now I think they were primarily interesting. A few of my friends had younger sisters. They complained that they were also nosy. They said that often the sisters saw them during the examinations for which they had to undress or injections in the buttocks.

When the boy was about 10-11 years old, he was still seen in such situations by a sister about 3-4 years younger. On the other hand, he stopped seeing his sister in such situations when she was about 8-9 years old.

He was told that the sister was too big for that. This concerned both medical situations, but also other situations, such as getting dressed, bathing or spanking. here is a belief that boys are less shy and can be treated like children for longer.

I didn't like it either.

On the contrary, I loved the conversations and questions with the girls! It was awkward and embarrassing, which I love! It gave me an opening to ask them questions about their exams. So it brought back great embarrassing yet thrilling memories about my exams and gave me great images and fantasies about them being examined. Great masturbatory material all around!

Hahah, I mean, I assumed they also were checked like that.

I learned about what happened in boys physicals when I was talking to a friend and asked him what happens. He said the doctor is the same as my physicals but he had to drop his pants and have the doctor check for hernias and his testicles.

When I was in like 10th grade I was talking to three female friends and one girl talked about how surprised she was that her pediatrician wanted to look in her panties at her last physical. This surprised me and I was like "Aren't you used to it by now?" That's when I learned that boys physicals were much more in-depth. They asked me to tell them about my exam and I did, but I left out the part about getting my foreskin retracted, because these girls had previously expressed their disgust with uncircumcised boys, and I wanted to keep my status a secret.

So young and they already had an opinion on circumcision or not?

I never had group school physicals. Everyone went to their own private doctor. However in my town there were only 3 pediatricians where everyone, boys and girls , went to. So girls and boys constantly compared notes with each other. My doctor, a lady, was know to have everyone ,male or female, strip down to underpants. Yes this meant the girls had to remove their bras with her. A girlfriend who had my pediatrician in high school told me how her and her sister would have to strip down to panties with the nurse watching, when I told her my brother and I had to do that as well we to compare in great detail (yes I was hard as a rock at the time). A second set of girls who were twins went to the second doctor and they got gowns that opened on the sides up to their armpits. So they were never exposed but did have to remove everything but their panties. They also explained the whole frog leg position ,which my 14 year old self had never heard of. The third doc had guys in underpants only and girls with gowns and panties. However pediatrician number 3 would always remove the gown of the girls midway through the exam. I think we all compared notes so much because we were discovering our bodies and physical exams were one place where someone other than you touched parts of your body that only you touched. I remember one friend who told me that she had a really handsome doctor. I didn't say much and then she added that she thought of him when she touched herself. I think we were all eager to talk about this because a lot of us masturbated to these experiences.

Back in elementary school, physical exams were offered to all of the students one year. These were thorough physicals that included a genital exam for the guys. I’m not sure what the girls’ physicals looked like but I sure wondered. Anyway, word must have gotten out about the boy genital exams because I overheard a group of girls snickering about how the doctors examined boys’ “wieners.”

I have two sisters who constantly chided me that they needed to check me for a hernia, Apparently all the girls in JR or Sr high knew what went on in a boys physical.

I didn't learn until I was over 20 that boys had genital exams. Still sounds weird, honestly.

@arika When I was 19, some boys who had experienced the examination the year before joked “let's go have our balls palpated”. I assume the girls overheard. I don't recall any teasing. Perhaps they were afraid something would be done in this area for them as well.

Why would it be weird?

Genital development is just as important as any other part of the body. And especially since parents are unsuited in making medical assessments, either through having no medical training, believing old wives' tales or just being prudishly shy and embarrassed, it's better that a competently trained professional do so.

Adding to @agracier 's post, men (boys) are far more likely (some say by a factor of 10) to develop an inguinal hernia than women. This is mainly because of the way their testicles form, move down from the inguinal canal and create gaps in the abdominal muscle after birth. So genital checks including the hernia check are important for young boys and men.

It's weird because I never even had my underwear come off at an appointment until I was practically an adult. Reminds me of the jokes of “penis inspection day” that are stories of a teacher (usually gym teacher) making up a weird excuse to molest kids.

Parents didn't look at my genitals, doctors didn't look at my genitals until I had to have them looked at by a genital doctor to receive birth control (for non-sex reasons). It was the “no one has a reason to ask you to show them it” zone.

But I guess penises are weird, reading the thing about hernias. Odd that one gender has hernia checks on a regular basis, while another wouldn't have a reason for even knowing what a hernia was until they're probably much older and something goes wrong.

Edit: Repressed memory but there was exactly one time and it was for a scan related to a bladder infection. It was traumatizing, especially not having things explained to me as a small child. The point though is, unless there's something specifically wrong down there, as a woman I've never had a doctor just “inspect” me. Even the obgyn exams were for tests.

@arika In younger boys, there are two issues that are often checked at physicals: undescended testicles, and phimosis (at least for uncircumcised boys).

So young and they already had an opinion on circumcision or not?

Keep in mind that I'm American, and circumcision is a huge cultural thing here. The only mention of foreskin in health class was how it requires a lot of extra cleaning and is usually removed at birth. And then if you turn on the TV jokes about foreskin are very common. Not at all surprising to me that sixteen year olds would have an opinion.

Yep, one of my earliest exam memories (couldn't have been later than kindergarten) was my pediatrician pulling down the front of my underwear with one hand, and with her other hand poking each testicle and then sliding my foreskin back, saying “one… two… open sesame” for each of the three touches.

I didn't know what happened at girls physicals and I wasn't sure how much they knew about mine. I did spend a lot of time discussing my exams with friends and seeing how it compared especially the genital exam. My best friend growing up went to the same doctor as me so we always told each other what happened and the experience.

I had multiple hernia checks between age 5 through 17. Every doctor said all was ok. Then at 18 a hernia popped down on my left side. I am not an athlete or a weight lifter. It makes me question all those different doctors who missed detecting the weakness in my abdominal wall. It makes me question the value of hernia checks.

Checking testicles makes sense though to make sure they are descended, normal shape and size, and that there are no lumps or bumps in them.

I had a doc tell me I had a possible hernia, then a year later he said everything was fine. Very subjective test.

You will know if you have a hernia. There is a discernable bump.

Good to hear an American admitting that circumcision is a cultural thing. Instead of coming up with one (usually lame and spurious) medical claim after another.

Generally, I've found that those claims either come from either women that are just repeating what they've heard, or circumcised men that are trying to defend themselves. I'm uncircumcised myself, so I know better haha

I would assume the forms and letters here had the unintended effect of teaching many girls about it:

This topic reminds me of a funny story (embarrassing at the time) that happened to me in high school. One time I was standing around with a guy friend and a girl and somehow the topic of sports physicals came up. He explained to her how boys had to pull down their pants and the doctor would grab their balls and have them cough to check for a hernia. He then had to leave quickly for some reason and I was left standing there with this girl. She asked me if that was really true and if I ever had it done to me. I told her it was true and it was done to me. She seemed rather shocked and started asking me questions about it like “Did the doctor really touch your balls? What about your penis?” I was really embarrassed. This was the first time and probably the only time in high school that I ever had a conversation with a girl about my private parts. I remember after I walked away from a her, I felt very aroused and had an erection.

In my school it was common knowledge that if you were male and were called for a medical, you would have your genitals examined.

That was one of the embarrassing parts , as if you were handed a brown envelope at registration, all your classmates knew straight away that you soon would be stripping naked for the school doctor. It was always kept secret and never discussed whether the girls had to remove their knickers at their exams.

Personally, I was completely obsessed about my teenage boy classmate's physicals back in high school. I didn't really know much about it until I started playing with a classmate toward the end of high school. He was very submissive, told me everything I wanted to know, and then I did it to him, my first "patient". We played together off and on for quite a while.

Just to mention, one person posted "Who cares about what girls/teens know or think about regarding boy's physicals?" Wow, what a rude person. Such a lack of empathy was the reason I left Fetlife. Happily, I have found mostly very warm, thoughtful people here on Zity.

This wasn't a school physical, but a girl knew what happens during a boy's examination at a certain female doctor I had during my teens. She had a brother and knew that she made the males strip completely for their physical exams, and have them do duck walks and simple orthopedic exams with absolutely nothing on. (not even a gown) When I saw her at school, she asked me if I had to do the "naked exercise" in front of her for the sports physical during the summer.

GraceT, can I ask what part were you obsessed about?

I absolutely think circumcision is a cultural and aesthetic practice in the U.S.
