Gloves or No Gloves for MALE Genital Examination

For me, the erotic charge of physical exam play is the shifts between intimate and clinical forms of touch. For example, a doctor is typically un-gloved when assessing the lymph nodes in my neck or palpating my abdomen (and similar parts of the exam), that direct form of touch builds a connection. Come time for the genital and rectal exams, the most intimate parts of your person are being manipulated in a slightly more detached way vis-a-vis the glove. Granted, in role play and non-role play situations, they're practical for sanitary purposes (and to protect the patient from the errant fingernail). But the gloves do have their own kinky appeal. Once you hear that snap, as a patient, you know you're about to be manhandled and objectified in the best possible and most sexually exciting way. In a role play exam, you need the gloves in some shape or form to provide balance in terms of the different types of connection the doctor and patient might experience. And you need them to signal when the exam goes from "nice and easy" to "nice and rough" (or at least slightly rougher).

Looking back, I cannot remember a time when the doctor did not use gloves during the physical - especially hernia and genital exam. From a hygiene perspective, using gloves is best for both the patient and the medical professional.

In a play exam, I like the idea of using both gloved and un-gloved hands for the hernia and genitalia check. The initial exam would be conducted with gloves -- it would be more "sterile" exam and somewhat by the book. The secondary evaluation, in my opinion, could be a little more detailed and thorough without gloves. For example, penis measurements, a more deliberate check of the testicles and the semen collection could be performed by an un-gloved play doc. This would give the patient different tactile experiences with both options.

Of course, with a role play physical a lot of the above comes down to the preferences of both the doctor and patient and might be part of the pre-exam agreement of activities. Understandably, many role play doctors and patients prefer gloves worn for the entire exam. It's all good!

I don't recall my doctors using gloves at all in the 70's. The 1st physician at my company when i started working in the late 80's never used gloves, but i remember him always running to the sink to wash his hands after doing the hernia check and touching my genitals. i think the other docs did too.

Remember, people handled a lot more with their bare hands, and played outdoors and were exposed to more elements back in the day. Many kids brought sandwiches with peanut butter to school. No such thing as peanut allergies, and didn't really hear much about other kinds of allergies.

I can't help but wonder, when folks start easing off this extra protection when the covid 19 scare is behind us, what their immune systems are going to do about all the stuff they suddenly become more exposed to.

Definitely gloves.

He better use gloves or I'll be finding a new Doctor

During pediatric examinations my doctor never used gloves and I dreaded him. My real doctor has wonderfull painted nails and she allways examine me with bare hands, I like her examining me... It is also done by my play doc but she also wears blue nitrile gloves when she has to use on me needles, catheters, urethral sounds and during anal dilatations and rectal examinations. So definitely I like bare well manicured lady hands for genital examinations except for surgical or invasive procedure where gloved is better.

Well I suppose anyone, male and female can have different choices/likes on various medical exams/procedures, but one cannot expect doctor not to wear gloves during genital examination. Its like getting enema/DRE without lubrication.

In play exam is a bit/completely different, that depends on both patient and doctor. I am pretty sure not every play doctor is comfortable of performing such exam/s without gloves as every/any medical/sexual play needs to be done in consideration with safety and cross-contamination!

Always during genital exam doctor wears gloves, if not I would not be afraid to refuse this exam or simply ask doctor to put gloves on.

For play exam no gloves for genital exam, but yes for DRE. Real exams yes always.

Back in the 70's, 80's and maybe part of the nineties I do not recall the doctor putting on gloves until the end. The doctors would wash their hands when they came into the exam room. All the palpation's and feeling of the glands was done bare handed. Even the genital exam and hernia check was done without gloves. I did not have any sores, rashes, std or other issue that would require gloves. I remember this because when I was told to lean over the table for the DRE I could hear the doctor putting on the gloves. After the exam they would always wash their hands again. So I was never concerned about something being transmitted from another patient.

Sometime in the 90's doctors started wearing gloves for the genital and hernia check. The female physicians I have gone to for the last 5 years or so do not do genital exams or hernia checks during their exams. They may palpate my abdomen or check the glands in my throat with their bare hands.

For all my reals exams gloves were worn, the only difference there was if they were on from the beginning or put on just in time.

Real Exams - My previous Doc never put gloves on (never had a rectal). My new Doc puts gloves on but I have not had a physical from him, so it might have only been when I saw him for a possible hernia. I have an exam booked this upcoming week, had to cancel my appointment I had booked a few weeks back.

My recollection is always with gloves. Not only for your protection but for the provider and other patients.

Play exams, no gloves ever. We love the flesh on flesh intimacy. I’ve offered her a latex glove before she inserts her finger in me but she’s never cared to use it. We are clean and monogamous and always wash up after.

At the doctors it’s always gloves of course. But when I was a teen, my pediatrician did not use gloves. I can still recall his soft warm hands gently touching my penis and testicles and also pulling apart my bottom cheeks (just a visual, no internal exam was done).

My PCP does not use gloves for the genital exam, which I prefer. Of course he uses a glove for the prostate exam.

For a real exam I've always preferred and experienced the doctor to wear gloves since my teens. For play exams I also prefer gloves.

I would like the realism in them in play exams. But my favorite parts of actual exams are when something unexpected or unproffessional happens. For example last exam I had, I was laying down while the doctor pulled my gown up and started the genital exam. I thought that her hands felt like she didn't have gloves and the next thing I hear was her putting them on. Needless to say I had a noticeable amount of precum during the rest of the exam.

But either way, It does just feel better without gloves to me.

Gloves for real exams.

For play exams, I'd like to let the doctor decide to wear them or not.

When I was 16 and under, my doctors and nurse practitioner never wore gloves for the genital exam. That certainly added to my surprise and unavoidable stimulation from the exams.

After that, I think most of my exams were done with gloves, EXCEPT for an older Urologist when I was in my late 30s. He examined me with his bare hands. It didn't bother me that much, but did seem a little unexpected.

Now, some doctors I know won't touch any part of a patient without gloves on. I'm old school. I don't wear gloves unless I think I'm going to get blood or body fluid on my hands. I do wear gloves for GU exams on both genders.

I think gloves should be worn in both settings. In a play exams, it’s adds to the more realistic side of receiving the exam which is what I look for - the more clinical part of the exam

Nice tight rubber gloves everytime. The feeling of being "handled" in gloves is part of the experience. And when the doctors says "Turn around and bend over" I'm in heaven! Makes the genital and rectal exam flow one to the other quite nicely.

Both for real exams and for play, I prefer the doctor to wear gloves.

During my visits to the pediatrician, he never used gloves to examine my penis and testicles, I remember the feeling of his hands retracting my foreskin and feeling my testicles, at the time I hated genital exams, I felt abused by the doctor. But they certainly contributed for my interest in medfet. 😁

I prefer no gloves. That's how it started when I was 13 - with a genital exam without the doctor wearing gloves. I don't have any communicable diseases, so no gloves are required.

I did see an older Urologist about 19 years ago who examined me without gloves, but that is the only exam as an adult where my examiner didn't wear gloves.

I'd say gloves remind me of my exams with the pediatrician, which ultimately started my medlet. In a clinical setting now, I feel like I'd prefer to have gloves on for the doc.

Always gloves

Definitely gloves

Gloves every single time.

My pediatrician always wore either white latex gloves or clear vinyl gloves for my genital and rectal exams, but during those he would have me wear either the white latex gloves or light blue nitrile gloves. I'm still not sure why he had a different type for the patient to wear.

Most of my exams were performed without gloves. I remember through 18 I was always examined without gloves including the genital and hernia exams.

I like realistic play, so I prefer gloves
