Recently I went to a Planned Parenthood clinic to get an STD/HIV check as I had never had one. I also signed up for an annual exam there, saying I was experiencing some soreness in my penis during sex. This was true but I was pretty sure it had to do with not seeing my college girlfriend for a regular basis for several months and my penis becoming used to masturbation.
Anyways, the STD/HIV check was basic. I was just asked by a nurse a general sexual history and she asked me to enter the bathroom, provide some urine, and leave it there in a special cabinet. I was expecting a swab and wasn't aware that they could sufficiently test me for these with only urine. Though the pain of a swab was a little intimating, the idea of a nurse swabbing me was a little bit of a turn-on.
Well after I was finished, the nurse led me to an exam room, and said the doctor will be with me in a few minutes. I saw an older slightly overweight late 40's woman wearing a white lab coat walking in the halls earlier. Could this be the doctor? The only table in the room was one for gynecological exams, so I sat up on that. It was rather high off the ground and angled to a degree that it pushed both of my legs together tightly.
Soon the doctor entered, and it was the woman in question. She came in and was already debriefed by the nurse. She first asked "where is the soreness?" I hesitantly paused for a second, and said..."well, my penis." She gave a bit of a mild chuckle and then asked, "no I mean where.. the head, the shaft?" I told her it was my penis in general and during the last couple of attempts at sex it became rather sore to the extent where I could not climax. She asked if it has looked visibly different recently, and when I said no, she appeared confused. She hesitated for a second and then said, "okay, well I'll take a look anyways." "Scoot up a bit and lower your pants to your mid-thighs.” I lowered my pants while her back was turned away, facing the equipment table while she put on a pair of gloves. After the gloves were on, she turned around and asked me how long I had been experiencing this problem for. Meanwhile I am sitting with my genitals now fully exposed to her while she is across the room, maybe five feet away. This exchange lasted about 10 seconds, and I noticed that she briefly looked down while she asked the question. Soon she slowly walked over to my right side, squeezing in as there was not much space between the table and the closed door. She said “Okay, I’m just going to take a look.” I looked down and noticed that my penis was a bit smaller than usual, due to the chilliness of the office. As my legs were tightly together, my testicles appeared propped up, and my penis was off to the side. She slowly reached for my testicles, pushing up the bottom of them slightly to get a better view. She then proceeded to my penis which she picked up and moved around gently, getting a view from all angles. Then without saying anything, she retracted my foreskin and did the same motion as before, to view it from several angles. She then slid it back and said “okay well everything looks normal. I’m not sure what the problem may be.” I then said “Yeah, I know, it’s strange.” The exchange went on for a few more seconds and she walked to the other side of the room and I proceeded to pull up my pants. She mentioned that if the tests came up with anything, they would notify me. Lastly, she made a bit of small talk while leading me back to the waiting room, asking about my major and commenting on the weather.
