Gloves or No Gloves for MALE Genital Examination

Men---When you are receiving a genital exam during either a real or "play" physical exam- do you prefer the doc to wear or not wear gloves?

Since the exams I like to re-live are the ones from when I was young, I prefer no gloves, since my pediatrician never used gloves.

When the pediatrician examined my genitals during puberty, no gloves were used. When I was examined during a medical military examination, the doctor used rubber gloves. I was embarrassed when I saw him putting them on his arm. At the time she was wearing them, I had to take my pants off. I knew gloves meant palpation. It turned out that not only was the palpation of my genitals waiting for me, but also the examination through the anus. Then I would prefer not to wear gloves, because that would mean avoiding rectal examination.

Yes gloves

Only then does the exam feel more realistic.

When I was growing up and went to the pediatrician it was back in the late 70's into 80's.....and when it came time to check my genitals, he never wore gloves. I would get erections and ejaculate but how the doctor held my penis and examined it, when I ejaculated, it never got onto his hands.

When I went to the urologist a few years back, he wore latex gloves and the few times I had play exams, the play doctor wore latex gloves. I am not sure if I like the gloves or not, it feels good either way. I think for me the gloves makes it a lot more "clinical".

My earliest genital exams were with my pediatrician from ages 11 through 18 in the 1970s and ‘80s. He never wore gloves. After I graduated from college and started having adult physicals from Family Practitioners or Internists, all genital exams have been done with gloves. I really find the use of gloves, both the gloving and examining phases, is more arousing to my fetish for exams and my feelings of embarrassment as opposed to having the exam by an ungloved examiner. It adds a clinical, aseptic, and detached ambience to the genital exam. The process of the examiner pausing to put on his gloves provides a stark demarcation from the innocuous parts of the examination from the embarrassing and more sensitive parts of the exam—the genitalia, hernias, and rectal. Everyone knows what is about to happen when those gloves go on! The penis and scrotum are about to be on display—the doctor knows it and you now know it. I also actually like the feel of latex gloves on my scrotum.

No, I’ve never had a doctor or nurse use gloves during a genital exam.

I would object if my real doctor, at any point, did not have gloves on. Just seems like the hygienic thing to do.

My doctors, real or play, have always gloved up. That's how I'd prefer it, anyway.

I think when I was very young, the doctor did not bother to use gloves when inspecting my genitals. It was often more visual than it has become. At that point in grade school, I was rather small so he felt each testicle and that was it. Upon entering adolescence and thereafter, the doc has also gloved up and changed his glove during the exam. The "SNAP" really makes me tense. It's like a waterworks of memories flood my mind as to what is about to happen. Can't imagine an exam without gloves nor would it be healthy.

By "at any point" are you including the HEENT, abdominal, and chest/lungs exam?

With one exception, I've never had a doctor who used gloves to examine anything other than the genitals. The exception was when a doctor once donned gloves prior to palpating the lymph nodes in my armpits.

I can’t recall anytime when a doctor has not worn gloves while giving me a genital exam.

I have never had a doctor directly touch my genitals without gloves. The only exception is my pediatrician once lifted the waistband of my briefs and stuck her hand in feeling along the crease of my leg and scrotum. Her fingers occasionally brushed up against my scrotum and base of my penis. I also don't remember a doctor wearing gloves to touch anywhere else on my body, with the exception of touching a wound or incision.

I love doctors and nurses wearing gloves. The visual and auditory stimulus is fantastic. The sight and sound of them putting them on is a huge turn on for me. It's usually signaling they are about to touch you somewhere very intimate and personal. Just watching a nurse pulling gloves out of a box turns me on. Even seeing my dental hygienist putting on gloves makes me imagine her giving me a hernia exam. Nice!

Growing up, I went to the same pediatrician until 18, he never wore gloves. Those exams progressed from a visual to feeling my penis and each testicle untimely a full genital and hernia exam. As for school physicals, my high school exams were very similar to my pediatrician’s exams. First, a PE & sports physicals were required for every guy to be performed by the school’s doctor during school hours. He also never worn gloves he washed his hands between each guy and then again before he touched your genitalia. He’d asked you to drop your pants then proceeded to examine me penis, testicles and hernia. The negative was his hands were always semi-wet and cold which most times was not enjoyable.

Beginning with my college exam, adult physicals and employment physicals every genital exam have been done with gloves. The moment the doctor pauses to put on his gloves definitely begins the more embarrassing areas of the exam—the genital and hernia. During so many of my exams, I’m just standing either already naked or my underwear pulled down waiting as he puts on his gloves. My penis and scrotum are on full display for the doctor.

The gloves are as much for the drs or nurses protection as it is the patients.

I think in a conventional professional exam nowadays, physicians would be expected to wear gloves for genital examination, for the preservation of dignity of the patient. A hernia exam might be a grey area.

For a play exam, use of gloves is perhaps more fetishistic, whereas touching the genitals without gloves, is possibly a greater breach of intimacy. Perhaps starting without gloves, to leverage the power of touch, then donning gloves for the genital exam for the various effects of anticipation, signalling exposure, making snapping sounds, latex smells etc. etc. would be effective in building tension for the genital exam.

There is then an option to need to repeat the genital exam after removing the gloves, for extra sensitive perception, and an (excuse to repeat), followed by regloving for an internal exam.

Best of all worlds?

My pediatrician never used gloves for her exams. During my physicals for school, she would just have my lying on my back (with shirt, shoes and socks already removed), unbutton my pants and pull them down along with my underwear to my ankles and examine my genitals.

When I turned 13 I remember while examining my genitals she noted that I had gotten an erection (probably from using her bare hands) and then gave me the 'puberty' talk. After the brief talk, she would have me leave my pants down and hop off the table to do a standing hernia check.

Any time we went below the belt, my doctor would wear gloves. There was one time I recall a pediatrician checking femoral pulses without gloves, but when genitalia was checked, gloves would go on.

I'm quite certain my pediatrician did NOT wear gloves; just his warm hands explored my genitals. He would wash his hands before and after however.

My pediatrician never wore gloves for genital exam, but my urologist of course do.

As a child our family doctor never wore gloves when he examined my genitals during home visits and often inserted his glass thermometer between my upper thigh and scrotum to take my temperature.

My role play "doctor" does not wear gloves for my initial genital exam but wears them for a more thorough inspection with me face up on the exam table which includes him taking my semen sample.

Always gloves!

Never gloves through age 18

ALWAYS GLOVES for that part of the exam. BARE Hands is cool for everything else. Them putting on gloves and me seeing and hearing them slip on the gloves is what makes that part of the exam one of the most exciting because you know once they go get a pair of gloves your genitals are next on the menu to get examined... That by the way is MY Favorite part of the exam...

Anytime i have ever had my genitals examined they have always worn gloves even at my younger ages....

ALL My Genital exams went almost exactly like in this Video.....

Can’t imagine a real medical pro not using gloves. Any age.

I'm 31 and happened 3 times in my life. First one was an old school urologist, second was a primary care doc I used to have, and the last was a surgeon that my urologist sent me to for second opinion on possible hernia related pain.

My doctors when I was a child and my GP now have always worn gloves when examining my genitals.

Gloves are a big part of my fetish, so gloves are an absolute requirement during a play exam.

Gloves goggles and a parachute are complusory

What’s a parachute @drgiggles?

Never had a doctor directly touch my privates without gloves. Hearing the snapping of gloves was up to now the direct announcment of a genital or rectal exam.
