Males: Position for Rectal or Genital Exam

I never had a prostate exam on all fours, and only in the Sims position a few times. Usually, it is bent over the end of the table, arms and head resting on the surface. Often there is a step at the end of the table, which lifts me higher and also causes me to bend deeper. Last time, the table (more like a dentist's chair) was so low that I was practically grabbing my ankles.

I've had it done in three positions, leaning over the exam table after a hernia check ('turn around and...'), on my left side on the exam table and on all fours. With the last, the doctors have always been male and gay.

Usually bent over the exam table.

For mine I was just bent over the table with my legs apart and my pants down. He old me to put my elbows on the table and relax...

I have had more rectal exams bent over the exam table, chest or arms on the table, with my briefs down to my ankles or completely off than in any other position. Never been on all fours. Have had some rectals lying on my side. I don't know if the bent over the table method is the most common overall but it has been the most common for me.

Prostate exams have always been bending over with pants down. I have had rectal exams for non-prostate reasons while lying on my side with knees up to chest.

For me , it has bend over the table.

My doc does them with me on my left side. I pull my right knee up to my chest.

Am almost 70 now. The young doctor I've been going to for the past 12 years has always had me in the sims position. My doctor before that was close to my age; his practice was to have me bend over the table following the hernia check, as someone recounted earlier in this thread, or standing in front of him in a pose like a baseball shortstop, hands on knees, while he sat on a low stool behind me. Same for the family doctor I saw from pre-teen years well into my twenties. Sometime the family doc would have me on all fours on the table; never understood the reason at the time. Sims would seem to be the current fashion.

My exams have always been on my side (two different doctors).

Most often bent over the table.

Feet apart elbows on the table.

Bent over the exam table is the most common position. I've had exams from both male and female Doctors. They are both wonderful ! I did notice that my male Doctor had a hard on when he did my exam.

I've had the exam bent over the table (most common), hand and knees, and on my left side with right leg bent (left lateral recumbent) and in stirrups.

I teach this exam at a local medical school. We discuss the options, but teach only bent over.

For it has been about even - Sim's position and bent over the table. Maybe more bent over the table. My present urologist does it this way consistently while the GPs have had me in Sim's Position. I don't know which is more erotic. On Monday i have my "annual" with my urologist, a female. Always a little thrilling regardless of sex of examiner. I would love to have it while in stirrups but no doc I know does a rectal exam that way for us guys.

I would love to have it while in stirrups but no doc I know does a rectal exam that way for us guys.

I would love to be put into stirrups for an exam, but that's never happened to me either. My favorite position for a rectal/prostate exam is on my knees on the exam table. I love the feeling of being totally exposed when I lower my head and chest down to the table leaving my ass up in the air!

Bent over,elbows on exam table with gown open in the back..

My prostate exam.

I had an examination to check my prostate. I had to remove my trousers and pants and lie on my left side with my legs pulled up to expose my anus more fully.

The doctor - a male - slid his hand between my legs and felt my penis and each of my 'balls' in turn checking them for lumps by gently rolling them round. I then had to move my top leg up whcih exposed my anus more fully and his lubricated finger went in and I felt it moving around inside of me and 'prodding' my prostate.To avoid any questions NO I did not get and erection.

See later for my comments in that area as were requested in my fully nude exam which I posted earlier.

The reasons for the exam were nearly OK bu I had a 'Turps' operation to allow me to pass water (!) more freely.

Catheterisation comments are to follow.

If my photos may be submitted I will provide one of my fully erect penis with and without the foreskin retracted - I am a 'Brit' - and also one or two showing how the meatus is opened for the catheter to by inserted

Anyone interested or do I have to stick to words only no photos?

Being told to stand with ur feet shoulder width apart and bending at the waist forward over the exam table is pretty common. I once had a female doctor have me lay in my left side with my right knee pulled up towards my chest.

I have always had to bend over the table for it.

Although most of my rectal exams have been bent over an exam table, I forgot to mention one unusual rectal exam years ago with an older doctor who had me bend over and grab my ankles. He had a really old-fashioned exam table in the exam room that was very low and it would have been hard to bend over it the usual way so he just told me to bend over and grab my ankles. In and out and then I could stand up and pull my shorts back up. I thought that maybe he was an old military doctor or something because of his exam techniques anyway.

Bent over the exam table and lying on my stomach that was the best one ..

I bend over the table.

Never had one but i know over here its bend over the table

"Please put your elbows on the table". What else do need to know?

All but 1 have been in the sims position. the other one was bent over a table.

All my dr's over the years as an adult have been male and I have been bent over the table for my rectal/prostate exam probably 80% of the time with the other 20% being on my side/Sims position. I have been on my hands and knees 2-3 times and loved those experiences. Had my annual physical this morning (aug, 2013) and he had me bend over the end of the table. I was completely naked at this point.

Oh my gosh, I would "love" to be put in stirrups. I am sure I would get red face and I am sure my bad bad penis would get hard. Any of you guys feel this way too

Both times now, bent over with my elbows on the exam table.

All but one of the rectal/prostate exams I've had I've been standing up bent over the table. Only once do I recall getting one in the sims position. To be honest I think I preferred to be standing up to have my anus penetrated by a doctor, I guess I lying down feels more vulnerable.
