Performing the DRE and prostate exam

A question for the play-doctors and patients: how do you perform the the DRE on female and the DRE and prostate exam on male patients?

Which position?

how do you inform/got informed about the upcoming rectal exam?

how do you react getting a rectal or prostate exam

do you inform your patient about a dirty glove afterwards?

I usually make my male patients bend over into the exam bed. I put on a glove, tell them, “Bend over and spread your cheeks,” then insert my finger. I don’t normally inform them about a dirty glove unless they ask.

I am a switch and roleplay doc for both male and female.

The female dre is a smooth transition with her already in stirrups. I normally just say somerhing like almost done and proceed.

I have two exam position options for the male which i don't plan for in advance

Almost done... Need you to (a) bend over the end of the table (b) grab your knees.

I expect the exam if I'm patient so no major reaction. Maybe a sigh or comment.

I assume they know about the glove when they see me doing hemoccult.
