Guys - Where do you look while your testicles are being examined

I tend to look straight ahead.

I usually look down. Like to watch him feeling around

My DR. always tells me to turn my head and cough.

I look to the side.

I always look down. I like to see my junk being explored and inspected by stranger.

I'm lying down, look at the ceiling. I concentrate on the feeling not the visuals

I always watch what the doctor is doing. I watch their eyes to see what they are looking at.

I usually look straight ahead.

I look down and hope she is wearing a low cut blouse.

I look at my doctor.

I have always watched the doctor my entire life. I feel that if he is touching me there, then I want to see what he is doing.

I look down if its a female doc

There is usually music playing in my doctor's office, so i listen to that and pick a spot on the wall to look at and try to keep myself from getting an erection. i try to not think about what is going on with my penis.

I'm usually standing in front of the doctor who is sitting down on a stool in front of me. I typically just look straight ahead. For some reason i really don't want to look at what the doc is doing.

I look at what he is doing. had an exam this week and it is fresh in my memory.

Im usually laying down so I kinda lean my head up alil and see what hes doing

I have never had my testicles examined as an adult. I would love to have my current doctor perform a thorough genital and hernia exam with my boxers around my ankles. She has rather large breasts and a proclivity for low cut tops. As a child, I was always lying supine for my genital exam, so I stared at the ceiling.

I look down to see what he is doing. Testicles, then he pulls back my foreskin.

I usually just look straight ahead. I glanced down the other day at the Urologists when she was examining me and got an eye full of her breasts when she leaned over so I looked the other way. I was already getting aroused from the exam and didn't want to get a full on erection.

Laying down on the table, just after the abdominal part

I'm curious to know what most guys do with their hands during the hernia/genital exam. Do you leave them at your sides, put your hands on your hips, cross your arms on your chest, or something else? To generalize, I believe more timid patients leave their hands at their sides and more exhibitionist patients put their hands on their hips. If you've rested your hands on your hips before, have you ever been told to keep your arms by your sides?

By my sides only because I like to look

Mine were holding the gown up.

If it is an exam with a gown, then my hands are holding up the gown since no doctor in an exam with a gown has ever asked me to take the gown off. If I am in underwear, then I put my hands at my side so I can watch the doctor better with an unobstructed view.

Never a gown for me, so my hands are free. I've held them at my sides, put them on my hips and also held them behind my back a few times.

This is an interesting question because, in my opinion, there is more to a genital exam than just showing the examiner your most private body parts. The doctor is exercising control and dominance over the patient, testing his self-confidence and his body image. The patient is going to tell the doctor a lot with his body language. The doctor will see how the patient responds to the command he gives to expose the genitalia: how quickly he responds and how completely he provides the exposure. Is he slow to take down his pants and undershorts or shorts alone? Does he get all the shorts completely out of the way by moving the waistband far enough down the thighs so that both penis and scrotum are hanging freely and not concealed or draped over the waist band? I agree with the writer of the question that the position of the hands probably tell the doctor how confident the patient is. I keep my hands at my sides, clearly I am the nervous and timid type. I want to be ready to pull them back up at the first instant the doctor gives me the command that I can replace them. Having the hands on the hips or maybe crossed over the chest looks self confident.

Hands at my side is appropriate; watching the doctor's eyes look down at me or just eye contact as she or he feels.

Hands always by my side. I look down to see what the doctor is doing.

No gown, always naked for the genital exam.

No gown and completely naked during the genital/prostate exam. When I am having my genitals examined I tend to place my hands behind my back.

Support the pants that are partially down or lean back on the table!

I use my hands to hold up the gown that I'm usually wearing during the exam.
