Any men ever been in stirrups for an exam?

Curious to know if any men have been in stirrups for an exam and why. About two years ago I was experiencing some erection issues so went for an evaluation, which included a doppler ultrasound to assess blood flow to my penis.

Because the base of the penis actually starts inside you near the anus the doctor told me they needed to use the ultrasound both on my perineum as well as the base and shaft of my penis. I was instructed to strip from the waist down, like back on the table and put my feet in the stirrups. He then examined my testicles and penis for any issues and then used the doppler wand first on my perineum (coming very, very close to my anus) and then the full shaft of my penis. It was interesting to hear the blood flow on the computer capturing the ultrasound images. I struggled to not get an erection and didn't, but I could definitely feel the blood beginning to move in that direction.

I never have, but honestly, I really want to!

@Gregg I've had those ultrasounds in stirrups. Got the rigid cystoscope a few times (that's a real experience, I can tell you). Have to get a testicular ultrasound next wk for a swollen testicle. That will probably be in stirrups too.

Not for an exam but for a procedure. I was in stirrups for a small cyst removal which was exactly where me leg meets my torso , literally right next to my scrotum. It was weird at first but got comfortable until the Dr came in who was a younger female, and then her assistant who looked like she just graduated. I was in full view by both for 20 min. This was at my dermatologist. The female doctor was unexpected as she advised my male Dr had to leave for a family issue at home. She did ask if I felt comfortable with her doing the procedure and I said yes.

Would you prefer to have known the change in doctor in advance of you could, or prefer it being a surprise?

Once for a proctoscope exam of my rectum because of irritation from a prolonged bout of diarrhea. Once for a trans-urethral resection of the prostate(TURP), and again a few weeks after the surgery when the doctor irrigated my bladder through the catheter that was still in me to see if I could empty my bladder completely after the catheter was removed.

Yes, for a procedure that took place at a medfet clinic. The clinic had a number of rooms, actually areas curtained off and after I stripped and was quickly checked was positioned in stirrups. Interestingly, the female attendant made certain to keep the front curtain open to the floor so here I was on view to any and all passers by. Then another female attendant entered with a 2 quart enema and colon tube to clean me out and it certainly did. During the rest of the session other female attendants passed or stopped by to check “something out”. Cannot say I was at attention all the time but it was sure an interesting and weird experience.

Watched while my then boyfriend was put in stirrups so the doctor could massage his prostate to obtain some fluid for culture to determine nature of a painful discharge he was having. It was clearly uncomfortable for him, but kind of fun to watch.

About 27 years ago I told my female PCP I had an anal area skin tag, and she put me in the stirrups to examine and remove it, with the assistance of another female dermatologist in her office. She even said “now you know how we women feel” and I had to admit I did feel a bit exposed and vulnerable. I didn't tell her I was enjoying it… 😉

For everyone here: socks on or off?

I have never been in the literal stirrups, but i had a doctor who used to check me for a hernia and the general penis inspection while I was more or less in the lithotomy position. It was weird at the time, but now I sort of wish it would happen again.

I was for both cystoscopies when I had kidney stones.

Never for a real exam, but in play exams I have been. Everyone seems to want to be put in them, but I personally hate it and find it to be very awkward and very uncomfortable.

Yes. When they took tissue samples from my prostate for suspected cancer. No cancer found

Yes twice. Once for a surgery of having a cyst boil lanced and drained at an er with a shave prior to procedure and again at a dot physical at a hospital affiliated workers health facility my employer was affiliated with. It was quite a very thorough exam performed by a female physician and female nurse assistant. Upon preliminaries being completed I was presented with a gown and told to remove all clothing except underpants and socks and wait for her and the doctor to return with the gender of the doctor still unknown to me until I heard oncoming dress heels in the outside hall and then the customary door knock and entry of the nurse followed by the dress heeled doctor heard earlier.

As the exam proceeded onward it became time for my genital and rectal portion. Told to stand back on floor for the genital exam only to be next told to return to tabletop and lie back as the nurse retracted the stirrups as the doctor explained about how the prostate exam was more attainable in that position.

Remember the nurse wedging the gown bottom between my legs and cupping my scrotum upward and put out of the way of the doctor's hand that performed the check with me now completely embarrassed but also ecstaticly being aroused with this new variety of treatment a first. Fretter.

I had a laser lithotripsy done a couple years ago. When they wheeled me into the O.R. I noticed foot supports on the table and realized I would be in the lithotomy position. Unfortunately I was under anesthesia before being put into position. The next thing I remember was waking up in the recovery room.

The most interesting part was after they let my wife in. The nurse who was discharging me was on one side of the litter and my wife was on the other. The nurse noticed blood on the sheet and without warning pulled it down to make sure it had stopped. It only took a couple seconds, but it was an interesting feeling having the two of them stand there looking at my penis.

Only in childhood. 10-11 years old, mostly for a reason not related to urology but to coloproctology. They also examined and felt my genitals, but rather casually, probably just to make sure everything was in order. Although once I had a bladder catheterization after surgery at the same age. These were not stirrups but calf holders. Of course I didn’t have any clothes on, the maximum that was allowed was a T-shirt, always socks. There were no bathrobes, no panties with a hole in sight and in general it was believed that children at this age should not yet feel shame. This position was even considered to be preferable for children which was written about in the medical literature II was in a clinical hospital so there were still students at the exams. It was like a matter of course. Although the very first time I was asked if I was shy or afraid, I, of course, answered NO, as taught and behaved accordingly. In fact I was incredibly embarrassed. I blushed even more, which was impossible not to notice. Most of all it was not the examination of the genital organs that confused me, but the examination of the rectum. In this position, there was always a finger examination and mirrors.

Definitely wondered about this when I was younger.

Only when i was Roy Rodgers

I was never in stirrups during the examination. However, I had a situation during the medical examination. I was going to have an ultrasound of the prostate done through the rectum. The doctor told me to take a position like a woman for a gynecological examination. However, it was held on a regular table. Next to it was a gynecology chair with stirrups. But the female doctor did not order me to sit in that chair. I think it would be more comfortable if I was in stirrups. I don't know why she didn't.

Never for a real exam, but in play exams I have been. Everyone seems to want to be put in them, but I personally hate it and find it to be very awkward and very uncomfortable.

I'd think for many of those "everyone [who] want to be but in them" that feeling "awkward and very uncomfortable" is a big part of the appeal?

I had my vasectomy done while in stirrups and it was interesting . I think if i have another cystoscopy i will request stirrups ,

A few more words to my previous post. Perhaps the female doctor thought the examination in the stirrups would be humiliating for me. Personally, I don't think a stirrup examination should be humiliating for a man. It would be easier for me to take the position for the medical examination.

For my last four physicals the PA and the NP examined my prostate and testicles while I had my feet in the stirrups. I’ve posted descriptions and a few pics from the exams.

I've never been in them for an exam, proper...When I had my vasectomy done several years back I was in them and he spread me wide as they would go...The Dr. and his hot little nurse had full view of it all...Side note, he used a hair scrunchy thing and a clothes pin to hold my penis out of the way. He did all of that.

I have a bit of a medplay fantasy....am the boarding school nurse....my favourite boy comes into the medical centre (either for a regular check up which includes the cough test or with stomach cramps requiring an enema). Anyway I decide to do a full prostate exam in the girls stirrups......inevitable results.....

Never happened to me but I fantasise about having my rectal temperature in the stirrups. A young attractive female doctor or nurse would insert her thermometer deep into my rectum and look into my eyes as the thermometer registers.

I've never had the pleasure of that. Didn't realise what I've missed, now I do. However can I organise it, I wonder.

@JodiFranks I'll be your patient any day...

I would love to be your patient
