Ever had a completely nude exam with a friend/family member in the room?

And I don't mean with a gown or underwear, I mean every stitch off. Nothing but air between your skin and their eyes, so to speak.

What was the exam like? What was the lead in to the exam? Did you realize they were going to see you naked? What kind of tests were performed? Be as detailed as possible

No I have not.

Other than my childhood exams when my mother was with me, I never had a family member or friend in the room. As for being nude, usually not, even as a child. That said, it is my belief that being nude for an exam makes the exam better for both the caregiver and the patient.

My wife has sat in on some exams because she had questions which was no big deal.

@GregB When you had those exams with your wife, were you completely naked (no gown even)?

@Wanderer I had a gown initially but was told to remove it.

I'm going to the dermatologist this afternoon. I tried but there were no takers. The waitress at the diner refused and my friend did too. That's OK, if it's anything like last year they will supply several.

Never

Never. Except for play.

The trip to the dermatologist was a waste of my time and money. I guess what they were saying about Obamacare when it became the law of the land was true. Let 'em die, it's cheaper.

At my age I expected them to check the places I can't see myself but she wouldn't have even seen my legs if I wasn't wearing shorts. Apparently I have to grow a third ball that I can feel myself causing me to complain about it. I WAS expecting a nude exam where she looks for anything I can't see/feel myself. Guess I'll cancel next year's appointment.

There was a time when being nude for a physical exam was not unusual.

My first pediatrician started me off in just my briefs but ended with me completely nude, with my mother in the exam room.

When we moved (6th grade) my new pediatrician had me take off my briefs right at the start so I was nude for the entire physical exam, again with my mother in the room.

My father took me to his doctor for my pre-college physical. His doctor was a former Army doctor (lots of ex-military doctors in those days) and had me nude start to finish, with my father in the exam room.

Sometime in my 20s I had an unexpected physical exam when my grandfather took me to his doctor because of my bad back. Ended up getting the works, including a prostate exam, completely nude at the end with grandpa watching.

Hello moderator. Many of us who came of age before the 1990s had examinations that resulted in total nudity either from start to finish or at some point during the exam. I think it is fair to say that in these situations, there was NOTHING sexual or inappropriate whatsoever. I myself found myself in nothing but my birthday suit at the doctor with sibling and/or parents in the room. I totally hated it but that was standard protocol and there was never anything wrong intended.

Only once when I was 13. My mom mentioned at the end of my usual exam (where I was in briefs the whole time, and the doctor only pulled down the waistband of my underpants as usual at the end) that I'd had a skin condition earlier in the year, where she had taken me to another doctor. So my pediatrician decided to do a skin check for scarring. He told me to get back up on the table and lie down on my back. Before doing anything else, he pulled my underpants completely off and handed them to my mother. He then spread my legs apart slightly, with the soles of my feet together, which I've heard is called a "frog" position, and proceded to examine my skin.

It was only years later that I figured out that it more likely was about my delayed puberty, since at 13 I didn't have any signs of puberty yet. At my exam the next year, my underpants didn't have to come completely off, though he did lower them to my knees to show my mom with the orchidometer that my testicles finally had started growing, declaring that I'd catch up to my classmates over the next couple of years. I must have gotten back on track that year, because the next two years, he only pulled the waistband of my underpants down when it was time for them to see my genital development.

Physicals were rare in my younger days just like they are today. When I did get one I expected to be nude and any of the doctor's staff could be expected to come in whenever they (she) wanted to see him. My mother usually accompanied me as a youngster. The doctor I began going to annually when I was about 40 always had me nude from beginning to end about 30 minutes later. After she felt she knew me his office girl would drop in if she needed to see him but didn't stay to watch.

Sort of yes

Roscoe, you should find a new dermatologist. I find, and read in medical journals, female dermatologists spend more time with their patients. Therefore, a more through examination. Also, on my first visit I explained to my dermatologist that I was a nudist and would like a true total body exam. Her response; I'll check your buttocks and genitals too. It's been that way every 6 months.

Growing up plenty of times. A parent was required to be in the exam room. I started off in underwear. After getting my temperature taken rectally the undershirt would come off. It stayed that way until toward the end when underpants came off and fully naked. While my dad took me most of the time, there were times when my mom would have to take me, and of course got to see me naked, which was a bit dicey. I was also examined with a brother, a cousin, and some friends at various times. There were also occasions when a friend would be in the room because he was staying over and they didn’t want to leave him at home. So yes, plenty of times, and there were times I came along while a friend was being examined. Then it was no big deal. I was more embarrassed in front of the nurse or my mom then with a friend.

I have posted about this in other threads. My parents took me and my brothers (sometimes 2 of us and sometimes all 3) to physicals together as a general practice. We did have a couple of doctors/clinics that required us to be fully nude (this was in the 1980s) and which did relatively detailed physicals (this was pre-HMO years). In addition to that, my older brother and I were sometimes present for the same group physicals for sports.

MODERATOR - Saw your additional question - with the POSSIBLE exception of people with special needs or of married couples, it is HIGHLY unlikely anyone was nude at the doctor with a family member as an adult. So unlikely, in fact, as to be solely fantasy. However, in decades past (I was a kid in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s) nudity was not uncommon at pediatric/adolescent complete physicals and it was not uncommon for a sibling or parent to be present. I was nude at several complete physical exams with brothers and one or both parents in the room. This was not a sexual experience, and no one is saying it was, even if it led to a fetish later.

Just for clarification and before anyone else addresses "Moderator", from the second post on this thread, there is no such member.

That post quoted was a moderation notice inserted to set some kind of boundary for what this thread is asking.

The OP was asking for as much detail as possible, but we aren't having graphic descriptions of minors being observed. Three posts were removed for being excessively graphic where minors were concerned, but the posts present now are at about the right level.

Any post going into much graphic detail needs to involve adults only.

@computerstation Both of them have been female. Last year she turned out to be my neighbor. I discovered that when the postman left some mail addressed to her in my mailbox about a week before my appointment. She moved to Florida so they gave me another younger female. #1 was an NP and #2 was a PE. She was very nice and quite personable and I don't know why they didn't honor my request. My co-pay was $30 and they didn't have change for 2 20s so I have to go back to pay. When I go back I plan to cancel the appointment for next year and tell them why. We'll see what they have to say about that.

I've been looking for a dermatologist for several years and was happy when this company came to town. Now there is another one that opened a couple weeks ago but in their ads they seem quite specific about being for people with ongoing problems. I'm looking for preventive care. I really hope the new lady I was given will offer something because I did like her. She was very nice to talk with for the very few minutes she worked on me. I was very surprised when she didn't do more and it left me speechless.

Not with girlfriends, but with mom or older sister, yes, quite often. In principle, generally earlier, at least in our country, examination of a child under 14 years old, ONLY in the presence of parents or a person replacing them. My older sister received written permission from her mother to do so.

Yes, my dad took me to his doctor from 13-college and stayed in the room the entire time.

Stripped to my underwear from the start, fully nude for the exam of my penis and testicles and inspection of my pubic and armpit hair.

I had such an exam at 12 and my grandma was sitting in the room.

Certainly not. We do have some morals here in the UK and this would not happen here.

As a child, when being monitored for early puberty, all of my exams were completely naked. Due to my age, mum was always in the exam room with me.

Only other time, which doesn't really count, was when I was knocked off by bicycle and taken to A&E (ER). Due to suspected pelvic fracture, my clothes were all cut off of me. When mum arrived at the hospital she was brought to see me, but I was still being examined completely naked, so she was taken out again until they'd finished.

Not at my exams as I haven’t ever been nude for one and haven’t had one since I was a kid. However I observed both my mom and sisters gyno exams both of which got naked in front of me of course they had on gowns for the most part but when they undressed and redressed they were completely exposed. If it were my exam I’d definitely allow someone to be there watching. I love exposing myself and having others exposed to me as long as they are female.

Why would you be present for your mother's and sister's gyno exams ?

When I was 15 and my brother was 7 we got a new male doctor. Some background, our old pediatrician was a lady who would examine us in our underpants. My brother found this terribly embarrassing ,having to undress and be poked and prodded by a woman. So my mom got us a male doctor in a larger practice. We got there and had our weight and BP done fully clothed. I was wondering if we were going to have to remove any clothes for the exam as my mother,brother and myself were escorted to a large exam room. Once the nurse left us and shut the door my mom ,who loved to tease us about how shy we got after we undressed, said ‘you might as well start removing your clothes’. I said I wasn't going to do anything unless the doctor or nurse asked to. She then ,in a fit of exasperation, ‘suit yourself I’m going to see it all in a few minutes' as she wheeled on my brother she added “I hope this new doctor gets rid of this modesty you seem to have”. She was finishing her sentence as the doctor walked in and after a few minutes of chit chat he said ‘I am going to have your sons strip down to the skin’. I was confused but my mom interjected ‘you mean make them naked’. As the doctor assented my mom quickly began disrobing my brother. She was whisking down his briefs while I had just removed my socks and shoes. As soon as my brother realized he was nude he began to cover up his penis and the doctor intoned ‘no need for that, we all know what a boy looks like without his clothes on’ I felt sorry for him but realized that I was in the process of stripping naked as well. The doctor started with my brother and then examined me. A few minutes ago we were confident sitting the waiting room in our preppy clothes (this was in the 1980's) and I thought this new doctor would not have us undress at all . Instead we were both completely naked in a strange room with my mom barely being able to contain her glee at seeing us naked ,submissive and humbled. On the way home she teased us by saying 'its a good thing no one came in and saw it all' and 'I hope it was warm' to 'I don't think I have seen you two naked for a long time'
