Should patients be clothed or naked?

I go back and forth on this. I think patients need to have their street clothes removed as soon as possible, but should they be kept naked? Sometimes I think male patients should be given gowns that open in the back and are a bit to small just barely covering their penis and ready to pop if they get hard, plus their butt cheeks will be partially exposed. Female patients are also given gowns but low cut ones that open in the front so their nipples poke through and at any moment the doctor can open it revealing all their secrets. Of course patients should be stripped for procedures usually in front of the whole medical team.

I think all patients should be naked. Even if under a gown.

The need to be either altogether naked or naked under a gown or drape depends on the scope of the exam, but I am seriously into auscultation of the female chest and being stethed by women who share the interest. It rarely happens now, but I am a firm believer that every heart and every pair of lungs, male or female, any age between birth and death should be auscultated on a bare fully exposed chest, and female breasts need to be moved around some to thoroughly auscultate and palpate her heart.

I'm used to be only halfway naked when I go to the gynecologist, but I'm sure I would feel even more exposed, if I was all the way naked with all my insecurities on display. Even if there is a gown, I think.

The patient must initially be wearing only his underwear, then the doctor asks him to take off his underwear and be completely naked in front of the doctor.

Interesting topic. I think eventually, every patient should be naked. But how they get to that point should be upnto the doctors or fetish patients preference.

I personally prefer to be in my underwear and the doctor takes them off when proceeding to that part of the exam.

In the one play exam I had, the undressing in front of the doctor, was indeed the best part of the experience.

This is also so for massages as well incidentally, the few time a masseuse remained in the room or when i was sure how far to undress and left my underpants on. She ha me remove them before laying down on the table and I liked that part a lot..

I have all my play patients get undressed in front of me before they get on my exam table.

As a patient or doctor, my preference is to strip to underwear for the first part of the exam, and then the underwear comes off for the remainder, though the part of the exam where that happens and how that happens can vary.

That being said, as a playdoc I generally ask the patient if they have any preference, since some guys like to either be naked from the start, or perhaps wear a gown. And as a play patient, i would do what the doctor required, even if it didn't match my preference.

The one thing that I don't particularly like in either role is a gown over underwear. If a gown is to be used, then nothing underneath.

For me both are possible.

A patient should undress till he is in his boxers/briefs. Being in your underwear in front of a doctor is exciting. If the patient gets excited, it will become visible. And then he knows, in the end, the underwear will come down too, so the patient can live up to that moment.

Having done military service, I had to undergo an army medical examination. Then I had to enter the doctor's office completely naked. Being told to strip off completely and then waiting in your cubicle in your birthday suit is a special experience. Then when your name is called, you have to step into the office, walk up to the doctor completely naked, feeling your bits move all over the place. So that can be a very humiliating, but exciting experience too.

So for me both options are good.

In a play exam when I'm in the patient role, I'll let my partner decide what clothing comes off and when.

Sometimes I'll just take my shoes off to be weighed and then it's strip as you go. At the other extreme she's had me get on the scales in my birthday suit and then let me put my boxers back on "for now". And everything in between from taking my shirt off for my chest and tummy exam, to my whole exam in my boxers until they come off for the genital exam.

I enjoy the unknown she gives me, but ultimately I know sooner or later I'll be getting naked with my erect dick on display for her to examine. 😉

For play exams when I’m examining women I ask them to undress to their bra and panties, for men to undress to their briefs, as the examination progresses the patients are asked to remove the items until they are completely naked.

I really like the idea of separating someone from their street clothes as soon as possible, and then perhaps moving them to another room or location, so not only are they minimally covered or naked (doc's preference), but what they wore in is out of sight and access. This adds a little to the vulnerability

I think part of the overall experience is having to systematically remove clothing in front of the doctor, be it a gown, underwear or some other combination.

I find that to be vastly more submissive and embarrassing than being completely naked at the outset of the exam.

I think that the consultation has different moments and in some of them the patient is dressed and in other moments he moves until he is completely naked.

At first the patient will be dressed in his street clothes, then the doctor will kindly ask him to take off his shirt so that he can auscultate him properly, then he will ask him to take off his pants and just stay in his underwear, while he lies him down on the floor. stretcher, to be able to do a good examination, and finally he will leave you naked to observe the genitals and examine them.

This, in my opinion, will make the patient enjoy the most real experience possible, and of course also leave them in a vulnerable situation in front of the doctor.

I prefer being naked. Eventually bound and exposed. I am not a huge Med fet efficientato. I dabble a bit

I think patients should be naked as far as the exams require the nakedness.

Not like it was about 30-50 years ago, when you went to certain exams, you were required to be completely naked during

the whole process or a big part of it.

Having been naked during quite a lot of exams, I don't have an issue being completely naked during exams and also prefer being naked during an exam. It also makes you feel quite submissive towards the doc examining you or person/nurse preparing you for the exam ...

And, being naked, there is nothing to hide anymore and you can't be made more naked and exposed, unless ... the foreskin being pushed back (almost forgot that part of nakedness)

I’m assuming we’re talking a fetish exam not a real one and will answer accordingly.

I like having some sort of covering on at the start of the exam and being stripped or required to strip during it.

I don’t fetishize patient gowns nor does my husband so we don’t use one. I will use a robe. We both like robes. Exam starting with robe on - sometimes with panties, more often without. If we’re including age play then the panties are usually on.

We did a few good scenarios where I started fully dressed - one was a customs strip search by a pair of doctors who were screening for illness as well as smuggling. Hot and humiliating

Yes @Nurse_Phillips the topic is about play exams, you are correct.

I particularly like the part about skimpy gowns for men where the penis is exposed. That's how they were in the 60s. A visit to a man's hospital room meant you're seeing his dick at some point.

In my "40s style Sanitarium Fantasy" Im naked under suicide watch, secretly held indefinitely in a very large break room for staff members, where I'm constantly exposed to docs MAs, nurses, guards & janitors & visitors. There I'm exploited financially as a teaching subject for medical, nurse students -- Candy Strippers to! I'm even rented out to art schools.

It's all or nothing for me. Naked in fantasy. In RL I don't want those god-complexed control freaks to even see me in my underwear. I show up even in cold weather in a polo or T-shirt, & 3-5"" hemmed bodybuilding shorts for knee reflex access. Almost NEVER do I grant access to my intimate areas, but on those rare occasions, I've catalogued I'm my life 10 improprieties that vary in degrees on a scale from blatant sexual misconduct (four of them: two males & three females) to medically unneeded assistant ambushes. (The last barged in while I was exposed not as a chaperone, but just to sign the medical release forms I requested at the start of the visit.)

Now I'm at a phase where I have medical issues in which I AM facing exposure to PASSIVE stenographers (with extended medical terminology) doubling as third party SPECTATORS. That rails against my intellectual & moral sensibilities*. They are not in any way there for my benefit, but shills for the facility to protect its financial interest by lying to keep their job if they must. (Narcing out an abuser is a career.)

Women may feel safer with a male doctor's female chaperone (they shouldn't given the anecdotal history) & most red blooded males are simply mortified by any gender chaperone, to the extent that they find new providers (according up insurance company research).

I'm agonizing over this, knowing they won't legally make "reasonable accomodations" for my CPTSD under title III of the ADA. (I've tried, though a HHS Civil Rights investigator is reviewing my case.) Now the old saying here comes to mind: "if you know you're going to be violated & can't stop it, sit back & enjoy it!" Feeling as disempowered as I had as a toddler on the exam table, I'll go into a "fight or flight" medical fetish mode as defense mechanism. I hope those scribes like erections! Anyone here telling me not to bring my medical fetish to the office needs to redirect that advise to the doctors & nurses that subjugate, humiliate & abuse us. They're the ones driving the proverbial bus, dictating office protocol & demanding child-like compliance.

The worst abuse I encountered was at a BUMC urologist visit when I was instructed to remove my shirt, keep on my underwear, & the 50+ perv complimented me on my physique, & held up the visit asserting I was an athlete & wouldn't continue until I accounted for it (I said weight training just shut him up). He also insisted on a DRE that was definitely NOT INDICATED for my complaint. I was only 19!!! Then while examining my penis, by his own admission (!) he tried to induce an erection despite my protests. (It retracted into my body liKe a scared turtle).

Prior to that I never had a CMNM humiliation fantasy. Just CFMM. To recover from that trauma I had to incorporate aspects of that abusive visit into my fantasies so slowly, piecemeal, that it sickened me. In those fantasies I had to go into the urologist's waiting room unclothed, completely bare in front of many smirking elderly people.

* The cultures of sex abuse fostered at USC & UCLA, Columbia, UM, etc. proved that NO ONE there challenged the status quo until criminal law intervened. Chaperones, administrators, & even University regents (who should've also been indicted) were 100% compliant, & did everything to cover it up. It's all sex abuse coverups in RL medicine, & they distract us by alluding to "false accusations" that rarely come about. . INews recently broke that thousands of girls in juvenile detention facilities were raped all over the US Did medical staff call 911 or do rape kits? No. They just injected the victims with birth control meds. No pregnancies, no DNA proof, the facilities stay open, as the guards continue to have their fun -- just like like the Catholic priests.

If "false accusations" are so damn rampant, why doesn't LLUMC doesn't have rigid chaperoning policies like USC & UCLA? Because they only had one MH scandal involving a psychiatrist & minors. The link below bolsters my assertion (though I'm amazed & amused that Australian men's rooms often have female attendants!)

I'm not particularly keen on the woman being completely naked during a play exam. I think keeping some clothing on, even if it's just a little, adds to the eroticism. It's such a nice way to start a play exam when the head of the stethoscope slips inside a woman's blouse or robe and your hand bumps against her breasts.

I tend to discuss this with the woman and get their feedback before meeting for the actual appointment. Some women like to bring something of their own to wear, perhaps something short with straps or a light robe is nice. And some women like to wear one of the examination gowns that tie at the neck and waist, authentic but not very flattering though. One of my favourite ways is knickers off and upskirt as real exams are often done in the UK.

Seems it would be more realistic being partially clothed, or undressing as required.

Years ago when I did playdoc I would include a little document indicating broad guidelines for the exam. I wrote something like "regardless of what you are wearing you will have every stitch taken off of you. Also keep some extra clothing in your car as you might not be getting your clothes back"

I greet and review the medical history forms while the patient is in her street clothes. Then I send her to change - paper gown, cloth gown, or gown and robe combo - depends on what we've talked about and what the clinic appointment is going to lead to.

During the last decade, I think that many doctors would prefer for the patient to be as fully clothed, as possible. I’ve been given shorts to wear, for lower body X-rays and other exams. Years ago, I was always asked to strip down to my underwear, or even to remove the underwear. It seems that modesty and patient comfort is stressed more.

Naked is the way to go, you're going to the doctor or in the hospital for God sake. Get over it!

(You were formerly naked on the x-ray table?)

Well, this current trend is right when it's not medically necessary -- with no pressing need for clothing removal. This goes to show the extent to which medicine has arbitrarily forced clothing removal as a part of its endemic power trip, & the new trend towards modesty accommodation contradicts, & even self-incriminates past policies & practices.

It's not going far enough to accommodate patient modesty, as it was a two year ordeal for me to get my knee scoped without removing underwear -- & the meniscus tear got much worse in that span. When I've called surgical centers to inquire, I usually got belligerence & pushback, arguments that range from "sterilization" (neither the gown, or the surgical team is sterile) quick catheterization & tourniquet application impediment. All arguments are "dog whistle" language for "don't try to take my medical power away!" (Though some facilities want underwear for men to help with tourniquet application )

My sympathetic PCP & most of my orthopedists assert that underwear removal for a scope is bullshit, & they don't want it, but some defer to the surgical facility. Other facilities reluctantly defer to the Orthapedist (the head nurse at the hospital where I'm getting my knee scoped in 48 hours told me that she'd personally remove my underwear herself if she could!) Fortunately my orthopedist is going to let me arrive in brand new 3" hemmed bodybuilding shorts that will stay on throughout my spinal anesthesia,, scope & discharge

Two facilities covertly tried to keep me overnight because I live alone-- one forces underwear removal the other doesn't. I'm now banned from them for being so vociferous, as well as all the teaching hospitals in SoCal.

If my endorsement of patient modesty seems incongruous on this site, please keep in mind that I suffered 1994-2014 with undiagnosed autoimmune issues & spinal degenerate fatigue symptoms, & my disabilities remained hidden because I couldn't afford healthcare, & after Obama care kicked, some doctors STILL called me a hypochondriac & malingerer to my face (as usual) because I looked so robust. I also have catalogued about a dozen doctor & nurse "improprieties" over the last 50 years, ranging in various degrees of sexual misconduct from subtle to blatant. I'm also a surgical malpractice victim with incision scars I didn't consent to under anesthesia

When I walk into a facility it's adversarial from the start. These aren't my friends, allies, or consensual play partners, but individuals drawn to the profession for the job security. Not only are they there to financially exploit my medical misfortunes, they also thrive subjugating. humiliating & having control of patients. I look at them contemptuously as I would correctional officers -- only with higher test scores. I really don't know how medical consumers allowed things it get to the point where providers so routinely bully them in the first place

As for me, I only expose my intimate areas on rare occasions when I find something I want treated -- and then I don't want it all to devolve into a spectators sport for passive third parties. .

JJM, if you're longing for the good old days when patients were arbitrarily exposed for no good reason, there's always teaching institutions. Hell, there if you need a hand operation, not only do you have to remove your underwear, but the gown comes off in front of many students, & possibly a theatre of visitors that may include HS kids on a field trip (it happened to a friend of Misty Roberts, the founder of www.patientmodesty.org, when she found days after her surgery that out her 14 year old male neighbor witnessed it & saw her prepped totally naked!)

Not only that, but in 29 states it's still legal for group of med students to sneak into the OR recovery, & practice there pelvic & rectal exams on unconsenting, unwitting, helplessly anesthetized patients.

In the other 31 states where UIEs are banned (only by state legislators protecting us, otherwise no operative internal medical moral compass) now they are getting around it by refusing surgery to those not willing to consent to a being finger-fucked by a gang-banging group medical students.

In real life my recent exams have not been naked. Last 'complete' physical she left on my clothes but did listen on bare skin for heart lungs, bare belly and had my drop pants for exam 'in front' then rectal exam.

However for 2 procedures I was told to remove all my clothes. For colonoscopy in the tight quarters there's a curtain. Aide had me take off shirt, stuck on ECG leads, put on the gown, and then closed the curtain so I could finish undressing. She continued to question me as I undressed. total privacy

For the surgery the prep room was previously a hospital room. Had a gurney with gown and a plastic bag, pair of socks. She just told me to take off everything and get into the gown. I quickly stripped of shoes socks and pants first--she keeps on asking the required history while I take off my shirt. Still naked I fold my clothes and put them into the bag. Doesn't bother her a bit that I'm naked. Finally I put on the gown, with some assistance with the ties.

It rarely happens now, but I am a firm believer that every heart and every pair of lungs, male or female, any age between birth and death should be auscultated on a bare fully exposed chest, and female breasts need to be moved around some to thoroughly auscultate and palpate her heart.

When I'm at the docs, if they say they want to listen to my heart, breathing or tummy, it's just an automatic reaction from me to take my shirt off for them and I've never been told no just keep it on.

In a play exam if I'm examining my partner, I'll ask her to take her bra off so I properly palpate and auscultate her heart over her boobs.

In a " play session " step by step " !! - and then we can do all the things, that will be needed !!
