I just found a description of med students practicing on each other - as was pointed out in one of the replies here. It's just become about my favorite medical scenario. This was submitted by "Betsy RN". Part of the ensuing comments had to do with perceived "double standard" e.g. this situation was unfair to the males involved. Me, I would give about anything to have been one of these guys.
(Betsy RN): Subject: Re: What A Great Idea For Training!As best as I remember it, after the lab on abdomen, the instructor said we could have a lab on male genitalia, if the guys would volunteer. If no, we'll have teaching with patients, later. A couple of the guys right away replied, 'No problem." A few seconds later the other two men went along. As for the pelvic exams the instructor did not even ask for volunteers.We had 26 students, 4 of whom were men. Everyone had to take off shirts for lung and heart exam, and female breast exam. Double standard: no female pelvics but the guys bravely volunteered for genital/DRE. The instructor--a woman--was smart enough to give the guys a break after 4-5 exams...eight women in a row touching your parts thoroughly. What do you think would have happened?---
(Reply): It all depends on the women -- what they looked like and how they acted.
(Reply): I have often gotten a hardon when examined by one woman, and once when examined by two women at once. But I am not so sure that would have happened had I been examined by a crowd of women. When each woman did the exam, were the others looking on?---

In the lecture on examination of the male genitalia, the instructor told us that some men will get erections. There was considerable giggling, and discussion on how to deal with the problem, when (not if) it occurred. One of our textbooks had a 'panel' on females examining male genitalia. Something about the woman had to be secure in her own sexuality, and if she were unsure, she should pass the procedure off on someone else or do exams with someone else until she became comfortable with it.
The 'lab' for procedural training was a single large room, but there were several stations with an exam table so we would be able to do several exams simultaneously. We women divided ourselves around each guy. One of the women who had been brave enough to take off her bra and let the man examine her breasts snickered, "Pay back time!" By the third student exam, all of the guys had erections.
Instructor made sure each of us women did a full exam on the erect penis, so she would get through any reservations about examination of a male. Two of my classmates who had seemed to be extremely reticent, during the lecture, expressed gratitude to the men, for getting them past this hurdle in their training. Doing something difficult in a group, with support, is much easier.To put it bluntly, none of the guys had an ejaculation. The instructor gave them a break, without saying so, to avoid the possibility.
