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

It's been a while. Let me think.

Well, when i'm examined in the supine position, i look up at the ceiling. When i'm standing, i just look straight in any direction. For some reason, i don't want to give the doc the impression i'm watching. I do like feeling what's happening without seeing when it comes to that. And we're pretty much talking about only a brief few seconds here.

When I slide my shorts down, I look down just to check that I've positioned my self properly and then I look straight ahead the rest of the time.

This is a great response. What aspects of your positioning are you checking out?

Just checking that I'm not standing too close to or too far away from the doctor and that my clothing (especially a shirt if I'm wearing one) is not in the way.

Always at the ceiling

it is the best way for being not too much embarrassed and avoid an erection

That is perfect! You are looking down and checking to be sure the examiner has a full unobstructed view of your penis and scrotum then looking straight ahead to submit to the most embarrassing part of the examination. I agree that you want the examiner to have a full frontal view of the genitalia, but I prefer having the examiner instruct me to give him/her a better look at me. What I mean is that I would allow the examiner to give me instructions about where to stand, to spread my feet or legs apart, to turn in a certain direction (such as "face me" or "turn toward me"), or to step up on a step stool or the ledge at the foot of most exam tables. I have also enjoyed having an examiner say "lift your shirt up." Though I am with you all the way in ascertaining that the examiner gets a good look at you, I like the strategy of being more passive and allowing the examiner to exert control by giving instructions. As an examiner, I also like exerting that control and thoroughly enjoy giving commands.

I look down and watch during my genital exams. I figure that they're my parts and pieces, so I *should* be paying attention. And of course, there's the visual stimulation aspect, but that's a different story. 😃

If standing I look down to watch. If on an exam table I look at the doctor

Like "examdoc" I prefer that the doctor-man or woman or even a nurse who was here to assist the doctor gives me the instructions to follow about the state of undress and the place where I must go and how to stand or to lie

I look down to watch - enquiring minds want to know!

I always look up

I always look down to watch my testicles be examined wether I'm laying down or standing.

Like Clark, I too like looking down as my internist examines my genitalia.

The ceiling

When the doctor examines my testicles I look right at her hands.

Ceiling.

I look to the side away from the doctor.

I too look down to see what he is doing.

I sometimes take a quick look down, but more often than not I look straight ahead.

He usually is sitting on a stool and directs me to stand with my feet on each "x". I guess the "x" is so my legs are spread apart. He says "drop 'em" or boxers down" and then let them fall to your ankles. My "privates" are exactly eye level as he examines my penis and balls. I do of course turn my head when asked to cough for the hernia exam.

The times when I'm laying down on the table , I stare at the ceiling or out the window.

***NOTE: it's a "he" just a type0. Yes, there wasa "X" on the floor.

I'm confused, is your doctor a "He" or a "She"?

And they (he or she) actually have an "x" marked on the floor where they want you to put your feet? If so, that's really kind of hot.

Do you know why we tell you to turn your head aside when you cough? So you don't cough on us.

I have never thought about it and can't remember

I will take note next time

Do you know why we tell you to turn your head aside when you cough? So you don't cough on us.

Really? I thought it was to properly stress the long abdominal-to-cranial ligament during the exam. If you don't turn your head, that particular ligament, which raises or lowers the testicles, won't be under any tension and you won't get a conclusive hernia exam. 😃 I'm just kidding, but I suppose some guys actually think that's the reason.

I have another good reason for turning your head. If you happen to have a chaperone in the room during this part of the exam, you turn you head so you can look directly at them. Then if your eyes meet, you can give him or her a nice smile as the doctor is examining you. It's been awhile since I've had such a chaperone, but I have done that in the past when I did. And if your eyes don't meet, then you'll probably see that the chaperone is looking down towards your genitals and is intently watching the doctor handle you.

I always look down to see whether my penis is reacting at all...

I look down at what the doc is doing.

Wouldn't you be able to determine if your penis was reacting without the need to actually see it?

I also like to watch what the doctor is doing. Yes, you can feel some kind of reaction, but it's much more enjoyable to actually see it happening.

I like to see the doctor handling my balls. Sometimes he has made me lie down for a more extensive examination, and then I could not watch.

I watched the doctor do

Ceiling if I am on the exam table. Straight ahead if I am standing.
