Underwear Pulled Down Versus Completely Off

Is there a difference in how vulnerable you feel when you have your underwear pulled down versus completely off? I always felt more vulnerable when the pediatrician took my underwear completely off. I realized that I was completely naked in a public place with strangers and family members able to see me. There was no hope of being able to pull my underwear up if I needed to quickly cover myself to avoid being seen. I would have to retrieve my underwear, place my legs through the openings and pull them up. I was taught growing up that nudity was something to be kept private. Being naked in front of people in a public place, especially fully clothed individuals, made me feel very vulnerable.

I did as a child and adolescent because my pediatrician used to completely take my underwear down and off at the end and I was expected to lie there hands at my side as she examined me and either her nurse or my step mother folded them and out them with my clothes.

During the compulsory school medical at 15/16 the visiting nurse pulled my underpants down then let them drop to my ankles while she examined my genitals and anus. As my first experience of standing naked in front of a woman it was embarrassing enough but somehow the underpants around my ankles seemed to give her more control over me as I knew I wasn't allowed to pull them up until she gave me permission. I suppose if she'd had me take them fully off and hand them to her that would have felt much the same; having to wait for her to hand them back to me.

Incidently before we went in to see the nurses we had to undress to just underpants and wait on benches at the other end of the room with the nerves building.

When I was a teenager and becoming very aware of my body stripping down to my briefs increased my anticipation and nervousness even more. I wondered 'would the doctor have me remove the briefs before the exam or will she pull them down standing up or maybe even take them off on the exam table'. You knew the briefs were only on as a sop to your modesty but making you strip to your underpants was a way of control, to tell you 'okay we will let you cover yourself a little bit but the doc will be pulling them down and handling your penis and testicles,plus we will know how much pubic hair you have'. Keeping the underwear was a way of saying 'you can keep your self barely covered but it will not stay covered' . When I was naked the shock was immediate,there was no anticipation because I was nude when the doctor examined me. It was incredibly embarrassing to be naked but the nervous anticipation as to how my last bit of modesty would be removed was gone.

Having the Dr or Nurse see my dirty underwear was always my big worry. Several times growing up I ended up at the doctor's surgery or the hospital with constipation issues. One vivid time I remember at the hospital, I'd actually messed my pants a little before the doctor examined me and I still feel the huge embarrassment and shame of him pulling down my trousers and pants, and obviously seeing the small amount of mess in them. Even though my pants were only pulled down a little, I remember he wiped my bottom with tissue and then parted my cheeks and proceeded to squirt what I assume was a KY Jelly type liquid on my bottom and then insert his gloved finger to feel for the clogged up poo. I can clearly remember feeling stinky and slimy after he'd finished and pulled them back up again to chat with my parents. I suspect my mum was mortified as well. That exam led to me later that afternoon having to endure a prolonged digital dis-impaction with my trousers and underwear completely removed and a nurse holding my legs up in the changing position (not the only one I would have in my childhood).

My patients usually desire that I pull them down. All part of the power loss/ power exchange. The Doctor decides when they come down.

My pediatrician, from my earliest recollections until 6th grade had me start off stripped down to my tighty whities but then I had to take them off at the end for the genital exams. My second pediatrician, from 6th grade to the end of high school, I was told to strip down to my tighty whities, or later, my boxer shorts, but within a couple of minutes of him entering the exam room I was told to get naked and step up on the scale, and I was kept naked for the rest of the exam.

Both pediatricians examined me with my mother sitting in the exam room watching, and both pediatricians told me to remove my briefs/boxers, the pediatrician did not strip me himself.

I was also taught that my privates were to remain private (except) when complete or near complete strangers at the clinic wanted to look at them, which always left me feeling nothing short of violated.

The first order of business upon entering the exam room was always to “ let’s get his pants off” as instructed by the nurse to my mother. The nurse would lower my underwear once on my tummy on the exam table. They were usually lowered to somewhere between my butt and my knees. I do recall to my surprise on several occasions when a nurse completely removed and handed them to my mother. After returning back to an upright position on the table, my mother would be instructed to “let’s keep his underwear down in case Doctor wants to take a look at anything when he comes in.” I actually think I felt more vulnerable, and especially ridiculous with my underpants down to my knees than completely off; it just felt more degrading.

Only had completely off once it was very embarrassing....most of the time was pulled down to my knees standing up or just the waistband lifted up and everything looked at and touched lying down

There are a few times where my underwear was completely off for the genital exam, and it was so much more embarrassing to be completely naked.

I don’t think it matters much to me to be honest. Most of the time, my underwear was pulled down and I felt the vulnerability. One time my underwear was removed completely but I had a gown on and still felt the vulnerability. To me, I think it really depends on the type of doctor you’re seeing and how comfortable you are with him/her. I’ve felt the most vulnerable with doctors who I’m seeing for the first time vs doctors that I’ve been seeing for years and are comfortable with.

@Racefan19 definitely more embarrassing being seen naked for the first time by a new doctor. A couple comments from my pediatrician made me feel a sense of embarrassment even though I had been going to her for years. The first was mentioning all of my friends who were patients of hers. The other comment happened after the nurse gave me a gown for the first time. When she entered the room, she took the gown, saying that we knew each other well enough and the gown would only get in the way. Both comments made me feel like she was saying that she sees me, and my friends, naked all the time so it's no big deal. I guess it's no big deal when you're not the one getting naked. It drew attention to my nakedness and made me feel a sense of embarrassment.

Racefan19. The time I felt most embarrassed was once aged about 19/20 when I went to my regular family doctor to get my competition licence signed which was supposed to be just a formality relating to medical history and eye sight. The doctor was only required to confirm you had all your limbs, good eyesight and full movement of your limbs. To my surprise I found on arriving that the regular doctor had retired and been replaced by a foreign doctor who had been called out to a home visit. The receptionist who happened to be a neighbour said if I was happy to wait a short while I could however see the doctor's wife and have my form signed.

Having agreed I waited a short while and was eventually called into the surgery. When I presented the form to her, (she was Arabian) she spent a few moments looking at it then went out and returned but asked me to go back to the waiting area as she had one other patient waiting to be seen; another foreign lady. I couldn't really complain as I hadn't made an appointment. Eventually the other patient left and the receptionist said we! could go in now. Once back in the surgery the receptionist started to explain the purpose of the form to the doctor who didn't seem to have much English.

What followed was a complete physical examination with the receptionist taking the notes. So I had BP taken, removed my shirt and my chest sounded, told to strip to my underpants for a weight check. Eyes, reflexes, etc tested, then the doctor started to wave her hands at me in the direction of my underpants and when I didn't immediately respond the receptionist, sounding I'll grant her a bit embarrassed, said ''you need to remove your underpants.''

I was shocked but needing the form signed in order to obtain my licence which was linked to an instructing job I was about to take up so turning my back to the receptionist I removed them. There followed the usual genital, hernia and anal examination and to give the neighbour/receptionist credit It wasn't her fault she could see everything as the doctor kept turning to her asking her to make notes now and then.

Eventually everything seemed to be finished but I was left standing naked while the receptionist explained to the doctor where the form had to be signed and where to put the practice stamp. Some discussion followed before the receptionist said I'd have to call back the following day for the form. I dressed then went out into the reception area where the receptionist explained rather embarrassed that the 'doctor' couldn't sign as only her husband was actually legally allowed to work in the country until her qualifications were confirmed.

Fortunately the receptionist/neighbour wasn't a close friend of the family so I only saw her occasionally in the street but when I did for quite a few months I fell extremely embarrassed and wondered whether she ever told other neighbours or her family about my examination in front of her.

I would feel much more vulnerable with them off. At my pediatrician’s office, the nurse would always tell me and whoever was with me to strip down to my underwear, but that socks could stay on. Then the doctor would slide my underwear down when it was time to examine my genitals

Pulled down made me feel more vulnerable as a child. I think it was the fact that I had to have them pulled down solely for the purpose of having my genitals and bottom checked. Which is obviously extremely embarrassing for a little girl. If my panties were completely off it would’ve been almost like my whole body is getting examined, not just my labia, vaginal opening and anus.

Most exams usually was underwear pulled down.

At the urologist was the first time I saw the choice to either pull underwear down prior to getting on table or removing. Removing the underwear has some feelings of vulnerability when the drapes eventually get soiled through a cystoscopy procedure.

It was very embarrassing having my doctor take down my underwear himself. Even as a teen. It made me feel like a child, and it also made me feel vulnerable knowing he could expose my penis and testicles at any time.

Personally I always felt much more vulnerable when the doctor either just pulled my underwear down a little or just reached into my underwear. Somehow it felt more violating, like the doctor was reaching into somewhere private. Plus the elastic stretching and making contact with my skin added an extra sensation.

In a real life exam I have always just been asked to pull my underwear down and have never been asked to remove them completely. However, this has always seemed awkward to me since the next check following the hernia check has always been the rectal check, in which you have to turn around and either bend over or bend over the exam table. I have always found this hard to do with my underwear wrapped around my knees or ankles! I think I would much prefer to just have taken my underwear completely off for better ease in turning around. The fighting with my underwear to turn around has always been when I feel the most vulnerable in a real life exam because of the awkwardness of the situation.

Definitely more vulnerable if the doc yanks your shorts down. Total loss of control and privacy. Only one doc ever did that and I felt exposed and humiliated. Best doc I've had just talked about what was coming and explained everything. Ended up naked but not just exposed.

@almi325 interesting thought!

Did you ever experience the "fully naked" screnario?

Unfortunately I don't remember having any full physicals so the last one must have been a long time ago. I'd like to know the different feeling that you describe😄

I think it is more awkward to have the doctor or nurse remove the underwear or reach into the pants. Even if the doctor asks or announces what is to be done, the loss of control is what it makes is feel more intense for me. It also doesn’t matter so much to me if the were lowered or removed.

In most all of my real experiences that I can recall I was the one lowering the underwear. And I agree completely with the awkwardness of having to shuffle over and turn around with underwear around my knees.

Personally I would prefer it if my doctor asked me to remove my jeans and underpants when he needs give me a rectal check up. He usually askes me to pull my trousers and underpants down, then lie on the couch on my left side with both legs bent, knees on my stomach, thereby giving him access to my rectum etc. Only in one exam, with a different doctor, did I remove both my jeans and underpants, which made moving around easier for me. I'd much rather remove both garments, then get on the couch in a doggy fashion; it'd be nicer for me and probably easier for him, as he'd see all of me easily before inserting a finger! I just find that laying on my side uncomfortable and would rather be on all fours; it'd be more erotic for me without doubt!

I have been in both situations and I have had feelings of vulnerability either way. To me there is no difference. When I was a preteen/adolescent/young adult I was fortunate to have a pediatrician who connected with me and made me feel comfortable despite "Please remove your underwear, stand shoulder with your legs shoulders width apart and place your hands behind your head young man". My current doctor also understands my anxiety and is also very good with me.

My current doctor also explained to me that her competency is determined by a numbers game. If patients start dumping her the HMO will notice and put her on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) to improve her productivity, just like any other worker. Thankfully she is competent and does not have to worry. She is a natural but in the internet world just a few bad reviews could get her under a watchful eye

The hand inside the underwear method definitely felt weird, but I was also covered, so I wasn't exposed to everyone in the room. However, this usually led to the part where my underwear came completely off. I was very anxious knowing what was about to happen. I never knew when it was going to happen so I felt vulnerable due to a loss of control.

Nurses in childrens hospital all ways removed all lower clothing stright away made shure couldnt make run for it, then took rectal temp

During one of my examinations for a job, I had to undergo a medical examination. I signed up and shortly afterwards I was called. After providing a urine sample, I was allowed to undress in a changing room. However, I still kept my briefs on, a little later a door of the cubicle was opened and I was invited to enter the doctor's office. It was a woman, I had barely entered the room when the woman said: "Take off your panties too." I was completely medically examined very thoroughly, nothing was missed.

On nearly every occasion my underwear was just pulled down, and by me. The only exception was a female urologist several years ago who pulled my shorts down as part of an exam for prostate cancer (thankfully negative). The environment couldn’t have been more sterile, but I loved every minute of it anyway (except for the finger up my butt).

Southeastpete: I've also had examinations in both the lying on my side and the 'doggy style.' The kneeling on all fours position made me feel especially vulnerable as she inserted a long proctoscope meaning I didn't dare move until she'd withdrawn it. That was in a play situation with her male partner present watching nd assisting. I was given a gown (open at the back) to wear but obviously when kneeling that left me completely exposed at the back. She also gave me two soothing suppositories in the lying position after my hour plus long examination.

The other time on my side with another play doctor, this time male, had me strip completely about halfway through the examination. I find both positions comfortable but the kneeling, doggy position, definitely the more embarrassing.

Yeah, doggy position as the name suggests subtly makes you an animal. your nuts hanging there in view while he's also penetrating you. If that and having your shorts yanked down doesn't humiliate you don't know what else would, except if you were totally aroused
