Exposed genitals

Were you aware that - depending on the position - also your genitals are (partly) visible during RT measurements? And maybe especially so for girls, where the perineum is shorter and the venus close to the anus?

For many years I was not aware that my genitals were exposed during an RT or enema [Sims position]. Last RT in ER a number of years ago had me on left side, lower leg straight and upper leg bent at right angles so genitals were undoubtedly visible from below.

Never cared one way or other.

That's why I don't like it when it is measured on my back, because everything can be seen.

I never remember a nurse taking my temperature rectally, but I do remember having a hernia exam at age 14 when a nurse walked in as my naked butt faced her. Even as she scrambled through drawers and my doctor scolded her that she can't barge in when he is with a patient she still remained in the room. I wondered if she looked at my butt and had a side view of my genitals as the doctor spoke. I was a bit embarrassed because the nurse was the mother of a girl in my class and I wondered if she mentioned anything to her.

I have heard sometimes shy boys have an instinct to roll over on their stomach if a caregiver or nurse quickly, unbuttons, zips down pants and reaches for the underwear waistband. I remember, years earlier, being embarrassed when a nurse or female doctor lifted up my gown after my hernia surgery without warning. I was 10 years old at the time and also had a different nurse give me an injection in the butt preop. I probably would have been more embarrassed about a rectal temperature than a shot, but I would have preferred the post opt doctor/ nurse had taken my temperature rectally instead of checking my hernia stitches.

I didn't care back then to young to care.

As a child facedown on the exam table paper, it never crossed my mind. But now that you mention it, it brings visions to my mind.

Laying on my belly as the nurse inserted the thermometer deep into my small rectum.

As a frightened, shy young boy, I was definitely aware that my privates (penis, scrotum, anus - all of them I'm sure were still pink at that age) could be visible as I lay on my tummy getting a rectal temp, DRE, or an enema. There was this overwhelming feeling of sheer humiliation and embarrassment each time!

One time I went to the ER at age 25 for migraine and a male nurse took my temperature rectally. I had seen him my neighborhood before and hoped I would not see him again by chance. He had me take off all my clothes and put on a cloth gown opening in back and lay down on gurney behind curtains. Gurneys were lined up along wall with only curtains separating and not closed all the way on the corners etc. No privacy really. I was laying on my back and watched him pull out a thermometer from a wrapper and squirt a blob of jelly on a paper towel. But I was laying on my back and wondered what ws next cuz I was confused now. Then he says to bend my knees and bring my feet back towards my butt. Very routinely and matter of fact, he announced that he would be putting a thermometer into my rectum which now made sense. He told me to reach down and pull my testicles and penis up out of the way then he separated my butt cheeks exposing my anus completely . He said, ‘ there is a lot of hair here and I need you to take a deep breath and push down with anus like you are trying to move your bowels and hold it, then I will be able to see your anal opening better". Guy on other side of curtain could hear and it was obvious what was going on. Suddenly I feel the greasy thermometer tip sliding over my anus searching for the opening then slipping deeper inside than what it usually felt like, this being the only time I ever had it taken while on my back. Of course I started to get aroused. He could clearly see all my genitals and the penis engorge slightly . He held it in place but slowly moved it in a circular motion giving me a sensation I had not felt with all the many rectal temperatures I had taken in the past. This took around 4 minutes as I was watching the clock on the wall. He pulled it out and swiped a cleanex over my anus to get the lube off and I was hard. I apologized to him for the hard on, and he said, " not to worry, it happens all the time, you just got a little prostate stimulation from the tip of the thermometer". He said, “OK you can stretch your legs out and relax now, its all over". I felt super humiliated, undignified and violated like I always do after rectal temperature is taken, but this time was also my first male nurse who was an effeminate man. I had to add immasculated to the embarrassment, but in retrospect it was also very erotic. Just opened a new door for me.
