Underwear Pulled Down Versus Completely Off

I have had exams nude with a gown, in underwear which I pulled down, and also when the doctor pulled them down. I was always standing or bent over the exam table. The weirdest was a exam by a urologist. I was fully dressed in a suit and tie ( yes, that was how we dressed for work in the old days!). He asked me some questions and we talked for a few minutes then he said stand up I want to check your prostate! I stood up removed my jacket, dropped my pants and boxers, then bent over the table. He then preformed a rather long rectal exam. I stood up and pulled up my pants, and after giving me instructions for some lab testing it was over. Somehow being almost fully dressed was more embarrassing than being completely nude.

I was never completely nude from exams that I can remember, but laying on the exam table in just my panties made me feel very vulnerable. And then I’ll always remember the doctor slipping his fingers on either side of my panties, and then cool air against my slit as he slid them all the way to my ankles. I felt very exposed.

I remember only one time when I was completely naked in front of the doctor, around 5 or 6 years old. At that age I found it natural and I didn't feel vulnerable.

Expecting the underwear to be pulled down is more awkward, or more arousing.

Absolutely a difference to me! I remember feeling super exposed the first time the doctor assisted my panties to my ankles, but "this year I need them all the way off" was worlds of difference. It's a mindset for sure, being fully undressed and scrutinized somewhere that you may only generally allow a very few, if any maybe, people to see or touch. And for me the first time I experienced that exposure was physical exams so it makes sense to me that I have this fetish.

As a pediatrician prior to going into research (still do see patients as part of it, not as often though); I never put much thought into the mindset of the patient. When I say that I mean with respect to whether they were nervous or not since I was usually dealing with less of the routine and more of the illness / injury type of situations. Always just wanted to complete the exam and move on.

This question made me think a bit.

Will keep it in mind for the next one.

I don't have any problem with being nude or exposed when in a medical setting. I want them to not miss anything that might be a problem. Having my body as easily accessible as possible to facilitate that seems only logical. Them looking at my genitals or touching them seems appropriate, but I prefer being touched by a female examiner. I just got out of the hospital where one night the incoming nurse knew me from my job. after introductions she went on to her other patients. The second day I was in they removed my soiled underwear so all I had was the gown. When in bed if I pulled up my knees I was fully exposed which didn't bother me any. Several people came in to hook up everything that was around my upper end when she came back to see me so she stood tothe side waiting for them to finish. I could see she was looking my exposed parts over intently which made me happy to have her there because my doctor seems to be ashamed to even peek when I have something I want her to check. This nurse grew up in Russia and has a different attitude than most Americans. While she stood there talking to me she kept looking down at me then back to my face with no hint of embarrassment for looking, how refreshing that was, her eyeballs didn't hurt me at all. She put the "urinal bottle" in place for me to pee several times during her shift and even put my penis into it, which I greatly appreciated. Most others just handed me the bottle, diy.

We ARE adults, we know the differences in how we're made, why should it be a big deal?

Whilst being disciplined by a Dom I think being made to keep your knickers at knee height would be top of the list

Followed by having to take them off and hand them to him a close second.

Least humiliating would be to just take them off and put them on a chair .

I've been given a gown the only times I've been asked to remove all my clothing. When I went to our family doctor in my teens I had to undress to bra and panties and he make me remove or lower them for various parts of the exam. I felt much more vulnerable at those exams than I do now when naked under the gown.

@KatyR I went to the pediatrician during my teenage years and I was never given a gown. I felt very vulnerable and exposed sitting in just my underwear. This was especially true when the doctor opened the door and everyone could see you sitting there in your underwear. The doctor never seemed in a rush to close the door either. When it was time to be examined, I felt extremely exposed sitting on the exam table because my mother and sister were there watching and I was the center of attention. The only thing that made me feel more vulnerable is when it was time for the genital exam and my underwear came completely off.

I think there is greater vulnerability when the underwear are lowered but still on - the last remaining garment that could provide modesty, still attached to the body but totally ineffective. Even for patients who feel more vulnerable with them totally off, because it heightens the anticipation of whether the next instruction is to take them off completely, or pull them back up.

For real exams I find if it’s genital only they’re mostly simply lowered, if it’s rectal they’re more likely to come off for access. Until I was about 14 the school doctor pulled them down when he was ready, towards the end of the exam so it was a very odd feeling knowing it was going to happen but not having any control at all. In adult exams the doctor has only pulled them down when I’ve been lying down and it’s been easier for them to assist, or they only want to expose things briefly.

I feel most vulnerable at the urologist. Just standing there pants and underwear lowered. I think I would feel a little more at ease just taking off one or both

Underwear pulled down is not only somewhat more embarrassing, it is also physically more restricting. You cannot really walk or move around elegantly like that. More likely to stumble and fall like a fool.

I felt more exposed when I had to completely remove my underwear. When I just had to lower them, I knew I could cover up again very quickly but with them fully removed, it takes much longer and I was very aware of how exposed I was.

I actually feel more embarrassed/exposed with my underwear lowered to mid thigh when standing in front of the doctor. When in frog position I also find it more embarrassing to have my underwear around my ankles than removed completely. I suspect this is due to some ancient memory of being in these situations.

When I was younger I don't recall my underwear coming off it was pulled down. As I got older preferred to take it off thinking the decor has better access to assess of something was wrong.

I was just in the doctor's office when my wife went in for her "wellness check😄". I needed to get a note from our doctor for HR so I can go back to work. Somehow the subject of me looking for someone who will examine me in the nude like my previous doctor used to. My wife told her I am concerned about nobody looking anymore at the places I can't see. Her reply was not to worry as she has me scheduled for a nude exam at my upcoming exam in November. She also mentioned she lives near my previous doc and they often go walking together.

I hope her assistant doesn't try to make me wear a gown. I think that is ridiculous when she is going to look at everything anyway. I'm certainly not embarrassed being naked with her or anyone else she wants to be there too.

the gown creates the impression of being clothed while still exposing all your private parts, but also serves to discourage any attempts at exhibitionism or other suggestive behavior on the part of patients

I don't recall the doctor ever pulling my underwear down - and definitely not all the way off. Perhaps it happened when I was very young; if so, I don't remember it. I do recall lying on the table in just my underwear (and for anyone who hasn't seen my earlier posts, when I was growing up, we were in nothing but our underwear the entire time with the doctor - even if we were there for a sore throat) and the doctor running the stethoscope underneath the band of my underwear which I always thought felt pretty good. When it came time for any genital or rectal stuff, I was told to take my underwear off. That was especially mortifying from age 13 to the end of my teen years cause I would always get an unwanted erection.

Exhibitionism???? I'm 83, what I have is so shrunken I have to sit to pee because I can't get it out through the fly far enough to keep from getting my pants wet. Who the hell would want to see that? I want a complete exam and to make it as easy as possible for the doctor to see everything.

If a gown is meant to discourage 'exhibitionism', then what is the reason for it all if a doctor is going to be lifting it and moving it aside? I could then just as well argue that a gown encourages 'voyeurism' on the part of a doctor ...

If a doctor gets upset or is uncomfortable at seeing a naked body, they shouldn't be practicing medicine on actual people. They should maybe go into medical research or some other profession.

Such arguments sound like being cover for one thing: excusing and enabling the encroaching prudishness of current culture and society.

1. Underwear pulled down only during genital exam no gown.

2. Underwear completely off prior to genital exam no gown

3. Underwear completely off from the start of the general examination , no gown.

The old lady doctor I had was a #3. I felt uneasy for sure at the time. I don't know why some doctors do #3 or #2 even. ?

Underwear simply pulled down or completely removed, I think it depends on how old you are and what is actually done once you are on the exam table. If the part of the exam just requires a quick look, pulling the underwear down just far enough might be all that is needed. But if a closer look is required then removing the underwear might be necessary, or at least lowering everything down all the way to your feet, which can also be an awkward feeling.

Especially when you think about the “placement” of “boy and girl” parts and how that requires a different placement on the exam table (the dreaded “frog leg” position is something that comes to mind and that panties usually were removed completely or lowered so far down, removing them completely might have not made any difference at all)

T my age I WANT the doctor to have the opportunity to see every inch of me from every angle for as long as possible. Therefor I feel it's a good thing for me to be completely unclothed for the whole time I'm with her and I expect her to lift and inspect everything including under my foreskin. Retracting that is nothing compared to what they do to females so why is it routinely ignored? I would also prefer her to do the retracting. Due to how shrunken that thing is now I can't tell if I have gotten it back far enough. She's the only one who can see when she has it back far enough to see what she needs to and it certainly isn't going to jump up to greet her.

For me it's a matter of degrees.

Being naked in front of the doctor is uncomfortable, but expected. I set up the appointment, I know what's happening, at some point I agreed to this.

Becoming naked in front of the doctor -- removing my last piece of clothing -- is more embarrassing, but it is still my own action agreeing with the doctor's request.

Having the doctor make me naked by pulling down my underwear would be far more embarrassing. And now I know something I'm going to ask for in future play exams...

My current GP gives me a gown and asks me to remove all clothing while I'm alone in the room, which feels like the best option all around. I control my exposure, no one's watching me remove my clothes, and the doctor has access to everything they need to examine.

I agree completely with these statements. In the past when I managed to have play exams, I requested that the doctor removed my underwear and made me step out of it; or pulled it completely off my legs if laying down. This was certainly much more embarrassing than having to do it myself. I was also erect by this point, which added even more to the embarrassment factor - particularly when I was then asked why I was in that state 😳😳

I've never had this at a real doctors as an adult, as I've not received a full exam as an adult. Closest was at A&E after being knocked off my bicycle; when my clothes were cut off of me due to suspected pelvic injury.

More embarrassing is to be completely naked. When you just pulled down, you can immedeately return the panties back once allowed.

I feel the result of both is exactly the same. You’re feeling naked and vulnerable. Although I feel more naked and vulnerable when my foreskin has also been pushed backwards completely. Having said that, having my underware taken off by the doc or assistant adds to the embarassment as well as the vulnerability feeling, as far as I’m concerned …

@FDNM_patient Absolutely agree there; having the foreskin pulled back by the doctor makes me feel even more naked that I already am. This topic has been discussed elsewhere & a lot of uncircumcised men felt they felt more naked when the foreskin was retracted. Add to this in a play exam being erect & lubricating & it's among the most exposed, vulnerable and embarrassing it can get - apart possibly from the following DRE & semen extraction.

I don't know about that last bit. My GP who did it this way definitely was in control of my exposure while I was lying on the exam table when he folded the gown up to my chest to expose me from my navel down. While he talked the play by play as he did the genital exam on me, he didn't say anything prior to folding up the gown, so it was a bit of a surprise when it happened.
