Take out your penis, please

Was just wondering.

During an exam:

Have any of you ever been told that?

Would any of you love to be told that?

Could include any variation on that. Like, "Let's take out your penis" So it's like your genitals have not been exposed, and you get a verbal nod to now reveal them, and you can assume that's is what will be examined now.

I can't recall that exact phrase, but my doctor usually says something along the lines of "let's have a look now". Based on the context, I know what he means, so typically stand and drip my pants and underwear as he watches. It's always a thrill as my penis is suddenly on display and I know he's focused on it.

Not with that exact phraseology, but I was told "Now, I'm sorry, I am going to have to examine your testicles" at the (female) pediatrician for a sports physical when I was in middle school. No remark was made about the penis nor was it touched, since the form that needed to be filled out specified a hernia exam.

but I was told "Now, I'm sorry, I am going to have to examine your testicles" at the (female) pediatrician for a sports physical when I was in middle school.

The "I'm sorry, I'm going to have to" part connotes that she's doing something the patient probably won't like or want, which puts a negative spin on it for a young person. Makes it almost seem naughty. I think the pediatrician should have been more like, "Now it's time to... and this is necessary for" to put a more positive spin on why she is going to do it. So that the young patient has an understanding of the necessity, and maybe will learn not to mind the procedure so much.

Or maybe when the patients are that young, no matter what the pediatrician says, the fact that is happening and has to happen is only what matters to the young patient. I don't know. I would just think they might want to work the psychology a bit.

I have never been told that. The doctor I have now as soon as he is done with the abdominal exam tugs on the waistband of my jeans and says, these need to come down, then touches my thigh showing me how far down he wants them lowered. I have been told in various ways how to expose myself over the years by different doctors. Mostly it's just been , I need you to drop your pants and underwear, One doctor I had always started the exam with me in my underwear and then, It was these need to come down if was standing or if I was laying on my back on the table he would tell me to raise my hips up and he would just pull them down himself. But I have never been told to actually take my penis out.

In real life it's always been to the point. The nearest I've got to this is when I was 13 and the doctor said "I'm just going to have a look and see how your doing downstairs so I'll need you to take your underwear off for me."

Perhaps slightly off topic, but it did involve "taking out your penis" but I don't recall the word PLEASE being uttered, but I can relate with clarity my experience which occurred 60 years ago. At the invitation of my draft board I experienced the first of what would in the next 4 years be a total of 3 pre-induction physical exams. This urine sample collection was only one of several indignities we experience that day, but since it was the first event it remains etched in my memory.

Conducted on an Air Force base in a large hanger which probably just weeks prior housed some B-47 bombers. We were stripped wearing only undershorts (mostly briefs) and shoes, standing on two painted lines of about 100 men each, facing each other separated about 15 ft. apart.

An older and rather gruff Army Sgt. with loud clear voice ordered us to remove our DRAINPIPES from our PANTIES and fill the numbered specimen jugs contained in our neck bags 3/4 full with our YELLOW TEA. Once the task was completed we had to hold our jugs away from our bodies to assure that it was only our dicks which came out of our Fruit of the Looms.

While waiting for the MEPS staff to come down the corridor with their restaurant type bus carts to gather our "contributions to Uncle Sam" it was apparent to my curious eyes looking at the guys lined up in the row facing us that dicks came in all shapes, colors and sizes. I don't recall a penis being referred to as a drainpipe ever again.

The "I'm sorry, I'm going to have to" part connotes that she's doing something the patient probably won't like or want, which puts a negative spin on it for a young person.

After the hernia exam was complete, she said "That wasn't so bad, the worst part is over," so she was probably thinking along those lines.

"That wasn't so bad, the worst part is over," so she was probably thinking along those lines.

Using the negative term, "worst". We tend to respect our doctors and medical staff in what they advise in terms of health habits and precautions, so if they say, "the worst part", patients would tend to believe them. So patients begin to believe that it's the worst part, if they didn't think so already.

Although for me, having blood drawn is the worst part. It would take leaving me in pain during any other part of the exam for that to be the "worst part".

i think your observations are very insightful. i believe a lot of conditioning flies under the radar, and that an effective form of conditioning comes from the presumptuous assumptions/assertions of people we perceive as authorities.

I was waiting alone in an empty ward for circumcision surgery, during covid hence a deserted hospital, I think they’d just noticed a spare slot…. The doctor came in and said “hi, can I see your penis” I laughed because what else can you do. He then went through the consent paperwork with me but it was so abrupt and funny. At first he was even ‘ah it doesn’t look that tight’ which gave me a pant of fear he might cancel it but then he consented me, left, and half an hour later someone and escorted me to the theatre, I laid down on the bed and they put an iv in my hand and…..

When I was a teen and visited a doctor for the check ups, he usually did not tell me that, he just lowered my briefs/boxers telling me that he is now having a look. As an adult they are asking me to remove my underwear.

No, I've never been told by a doctor to take out my penis or any variation of that phrase. In fact, other than visual, my penis has only been touched and examined twice. Usually it's just a hernia exam or maybe also testicular exam. My penis has rarely been the focus.

Typically I remain fully clothed for my physicals, and just lower my pants and underwear when it's time for the genital exam. My doctor usually begins this process by saying something along the lines of, "time for the hernia exam" or "I need to check you for a hernia" or something along those lines. I love hearing the different instructions and wording to expose myself, so usually I stand and pause for just a couple of seconds. Half of the time the doctor will continue and tell me to lower my pants, drop my drawers, or some other wording. When the doctor doesn't quickly give me any more instructions, I just unzip and lower my pants to mid thighs.

Reading the title of this post makes me chuckle. I think if I was in a real exam and was told by the doctor to take out my penis, I would probably unzip, pull out my penis and stand there like I was about to pee on the floor. I would probably feel really awkward, confused, and thinking to myself that the doctor was a huge quack.

No because that would imply that is all they want to look at. I did have an exam recently where I wasn’t expecting a genital exam however and when the doctor aske me to lower my pants I had old underwear on and my penis just fell through the stretched out leg of my briefs. I said oh I’m so sorry she said don’t worry you’ll be pulling those down too but my face turned red I wasn’t expecting it.

I have never had a doctor say anything remotely similar to “take out your penis.” I had one doctor tell me that the next part of the exam would involve checking my penis and testicles and checking for a hernia, but, then the actual instruction to me was to pull my briefs down.

I have usually been told that by the doctor that especially at the pediatrician that it is time to check my underwear and that it is only okay because they were a doctor. At that point I would usually pull down my underwear.

A few months ago I had a variation on this -- had to see a urologist for some increasing symptoms due to enlarging prostate, and he said "ok, take out your penis so I can inspect it"

@exam_doc Exactly! Every time I go to the urologist, the doctor asks me to lower my pants and underwear to my knees so he can examine my private parts.

I have never been told to "take out your penis" but growing up at my pediatrician he would usually say something like "okay I am going to look at and feel your penis now...just relax I am checking on your development"...it was really embarrassing

Never been told that either. What I remember is doctors saying: We have to take a look down there, please lower your underpants or shall I take a look there as well. Some exams are performed fully nude from the beginning so you just get told please get completely undressed.

This thread reminds me of the old joke when the sailor, after a long weekend of shore leave goes in to see the navy doctor and says nervously “Doc,um..I’ve got a friend who thinks he might have picked up a venerial disease.” And the doctor says, “Well pull him out and let’s have a look at him.”
