In my early teenage years (ages 13, 14, and 15), I was required to get thorough “full physical” exams which required me to undergo a genital exam while I was completely nude. It was something that I really dreaded and even tried to get out of, to no avail. Here’s a breakdown of my exams and my reactions.
First exam (age 13):
I was in 7th grade and the middle school that I started at required that students undergo a “full physical”. I had been to doctors before this but never really had to undress apart from taking my shirt off. I got dropped off at the doctor’s office, checked in, and got taken to the exam room. The doctor came in, checks my eyes, ears, nose, and throat. Then instructed me “take off all of your clothes except for your underwear”. I was not expecting this at all and was surprised by the request, but I cooperated. After I stripped down to my boxers, I had to do a series of maneuvers while he observed me: move my arms in different directions, hop on one leg, walk across the room as fast as possible, walk on my tiptoes, walk on my heels, duck walk, etc. My penis fell out of my boxers once or twice during the maneuvers which I found humiliating. Towards the end of the examination, I was asked to lye supine on the exam table for him to feel my chest and stomach. He palpated by abdomen all the way down to my boxers’ waistband, then, without warning, he pulled by boxers down to my ankles and removed my right leg from my underwear hole. I was essentially completely naked on the exam table during the genital exam. I found this very jarring but did not object while it was happening.
Second exam (age 14):
About a year later, my mother received notice than I needed to undergo another “full physical” and scheduled the appointment for me. When I was told that I had to get a physical, I was very upset. I told my mom to tell the doctor that I did not want an exam of my private area. My mom spoke to the doctor about my concerns, but he said that a genital exam was required and that there was no way around it. I dreaded the appointment more and more as the date drew closer. On the day of the physical, I made sure to wear boxer briefs instead of the boxers that I normally wore to make sure than my genitals did not slip out when I was doing maneuvers like squats or a duck walk. When he told me to strip down to my underwear, I rolled my eyes and pouted, but ultimately complied. At the end of this exam, when he was done palpating my abdomen, he acknowledged my concerns about the upcoming genital exam by saying “Tommy, I have to check your penis and testicles to make sure that you’re healthy”. I made my displeasure known, replying “ugh, no”, to which he replied, “yes, it will only take a minute or two”. I then closed my eyes as he removed my underwear and performed an extensive inspection and examination of my penis, testicles, and scrotum while I was completely nude.
Third exam (age 15):
The following year when I was told that I would be getting a physical, I was displeased, but I knew that there was nothing that I could do about it. I was resigned to my fate. On the day of my physical, I was dreading what was going to happen, but I wanted to maintain as much dignity as possible. I wore my best pair of underwear and groomed myself in anticipation of being seen naked. I tried to have a good attitude this time around and, when I was asked to strip down to my underwear, I did so with no hesitation or trepidation. During the abdominal exam at the end, my heart started pounding knowing when was about to happen. When the moment arrived this time, he simply said “I’m going to check your penis and testicles” before removing my underwear for the inspection. This time, I kept my eyes open and mostly looked at the ceiling while he inspected and palpated my pubic hair and genitals. When he was done, he watched me put my underwear back on while I was nude on the exam table. When I stood up, he shook my hand and complimented my underwear choice (they had a unique design).
Did anyone have similar experiences?
