Age during first rectal exam

I was 24.. It was for a FAA physical and I was told that a rectal exam was required..but.. Just thought I was still too young .. I was wrong ..lol

I was 4 and a half. It is as vivid in my memory today (at least, the moment when the gloved finger first touched my little butthole) as when it happened 62 years ago. Mum was holding me cradled in one arm, and my legs pinned back towards my chest with the other, thus effectively restraining me, my little butt hanging out in mid-air. I was trying to free myself, and kicking and screaming, and the doctor was, well, who gave a darn at the time... He approached menacingly, like something one sees in a film when the music portends something scary. It was shortly after that Doctor visit that I started to receive enemas at home from Mum. Thus I was started on the path which has led me here (among many places). Don't let this upset you; I have come to accept it, and believe that in the long run, the net effect has been positive, although I certainly didn't think so at the time.

I never received another DRE until my current GP started to do prostate exams a part of my annual physical. Not that I am particularly large, but my doctor has small hands, and I am not sure whether he has actually 'found' my prostate; but he does attempt to. I don't react negatively, but I guess he is too timid to try putting his hand up there... He usually orders a PSA test (lab work, based on a blood sample) as well. I've been fortunate so far (i.e. no cancer).

At age 13 or 14 as part of the compulsory and very thorough senior school medical examinations that we had to have at least once a year. Hope to post details of a them when I have a enough spare time at the laptop as they were, as I said, quite thorough. Hopefully there will be some people who will be interested in hearing the details.

Age 12. A part of a physical for a scouting trip. Had an erection the whole time.

I was 14. Had been constipated for 2 weeks & having severe discomfort. Mom made me an unexpected doctor's appointment. Didn't even know I was going until she came & picked me up from school. I was terrified wondering what the doctor would do to me, & sure enough I got up on the table where he asked me to lie on my back & lower my pants to my knees. Then he asked me to roll over on my left side & bend my knees to my chest & I heard him slap the glove on & then insert his fingers. Of course it's erotic for me to think about now, but at the time I was mortified.

My first rectal exam was at age 27 during a physical exam.

I was 12. I can even remember the date: Wednesday, Oct 29, 1986. (I have a thing for dates.) I had been complaining of stomach cramps since the day before. My mother brought me in to our pediatrician. I remember that the nurse--a young, tall woman named Monica, with blond, curly hair--brought us (my mother and me) into the exam room, and asked my mother if I'd had my temperature taken at home. (The answer was yes.) Then the doctor came in and began pressing on my abdomen, asking me to hop on one foot, all to see if I had appendicitis. Then he asked my mother to come out with him for a moment. I didn't think any of it. And then he came back in alone, and that's when he said (more like mumbled, he was so very shy), "I'm going to have to do a rectal exam." I remember I asked him, "what?" And he repeated himself. But it wasn't only that I hadn't heard him clearly the first time. I genuinely had no idea what a "rectal exam" was. Nor did he really explain it to me. He just told me to pull down my pants and undewear, lie on my left side facing the wall, and bring my knees to my chest. And then I felt this cold, greasy thing entering my rectum. I didn't even know it was his finger because I was too ashamed to look.

I had my first when I turned 13 years old. I remember he placed a latex finger rubber on his pointer finger...he had get on all fours..and instructed me to spread my legs.

He lubed his finger, lubed my butt-hole and slid his finger into my hole. He then turned me around...I lifted my legs and he inserted it one more time...with his other hand he just held onto my penis.

That was the first time. Then when I turned 16 he did it again but this time I came 😃

24 and never had a real rectal exam yet 😃 But my playdoc gives me all the time 😃

First for me was age 13. Had a streak of blood on a stool I told my mom (strange for a 13y/o to mention it but it worried me). Hemorrhoids she thought but took me to the family doctor. He did a brief history, then had me drop my jeans, bend over the exam table, snapped on an exam glove, added lube and inserted his finger into my bottom. Boy was I embarassed. After he withdrew his finger he said he found nothing but that it it recurred he would have me take an enema for a more thorough exam. It did not happen again. Then, when taking my physical to go to college age 17, the doctor (a different one) had me get in knee chest position on the exam table and did a rectal exam. I thought that was odd but can't say I minded. I mentioned that to my girlfriend who had seen the same doctor for her pre-school physical. She said he had done a rectal exam on her as well. Lucky guy. She never let me perform one on her.

Thinking I was in my late teens.

My first rectal exam was at age 19, of course this was many years ago when it was common for young males to get rectal exams. My next one was at 21, then one in my early 30's and one recently in my mid-50's.

Late teens I believe

I was 15, it was during my first gyn exam and the doctor did a recto-vaginal examination. Was totally not expecting it and hated it. While still uncomfortable in the moment, I have come to also enjoy them now.

I'm 37 and never had one that I've known about. I had a colonoscopy about 5 years ago so I've been told that it was probably done while I was knocked out. But never when I was awake during a routine exam.

23 and haven't had one yet.

I'm 29 and I've never had one, this surprises me because my gyno knows I've had anal sex. I have a feeling that may change soon though.

I have only had prostate exams....does that count?

Still waiting for mine. ???

I never had a rectal, but when I moved to a new town, I had to get a physical exam for school entrance. I had a old lady pediatrician have me bend over and put my chest on the exam table. I was scared if she was going to stick her finger up there, but all she did was spread the cheeks and briefly push around my anus with her gloved fingers.

I had my first when I was 16. I've probabaly had about 5 or 6 in my life.

I was age 27.

I was 18 at my college entrance physical. I had no idea it was going to happen. That exam was what "flipped the switch" for me and has been a turn on ever since.

I was born with Bowel problems, which included having a colostomy and subsequent removal of a section of bowel. For me, a rectal exam was pretty common at all my hospital check-ups until I was about 8 years old, so I was used to them at a pretty young age.

My first one in adulthood was aged 24.

At the age of 9, when i was constipated, was my first enema as well

I got some rectal temps and suppositories but i never had a rectal exam. that doesnt mean i haven't given any ;P

I had a blader exam a year ago I was able to see results on screen

I posted on another topic, but the first visual anal exam was when I was 20 in college. The first time they went inside was at 24. I have not had one since (I'm 2😎 but I do think about it a lot.

I was about 27.

Sounds young, NOR. Typical for Norway or were there mitigating circumstances?
