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

I look down at the doctor and their hands to watch as they examine my testicles. The only time I'm not looking at them during this part of the exam is when I'm asked to turn and cough.

I've not been standing lately -- mine usually are while I'm lying on the exam table -- but when I was seventeen, he had me turn my head at the very beginning, well before the cough, so I was looking at the wall.

But when I'm on the table, I'm looking at the ceiling, trying my best not to get an erection.

I look down and watch what my doctor is doing. I actually enjoy that part of the physical.

For whatever reason I tend to stare straight ahead during the procedure. When told to either lower or remove my briefs, there is the rush of embarrassment and sensitivity to what is to happen. Generally, he has turned away to retrieve a glove; I assume to allow me to lower or remove my underwear. It's all very fast but also very mentally slow, if that makes any sense. There is no need to move my penis away as he grasps my testicles and beings to feel each one slowly and then applies pressure as I turn my head and cough! I am guessing with COVID one will need to mask up! There is the momentary twinge with each squeeze. He then examines my shaft and checks the head of my penis before telling me to turn and lean onto the table as he makes small talk. I would prefer less chatter at this point. He soon tells me to spread my legs wide and he spreads my cheeks more than the position allows. He tells me to push in and out a few times and by the third his finger is pressing into me and soon is swirling. My eyes are shut.

I generally watch them and see what they are doing. As well as watch their face reactions.

I changed health plans nine years ago. I decided to try a female physician since I had always had a male as my PCP. The first doctor in the new plan was female. She briefly checked my testicles because I mentioned I had a hydrocele as I was laying down. So I was looking at the ceiling during that one. There was no exam of the penis. Other than that I have not had a genital exam by any of my female PCP since I switched to the new plan. I do not remember where I was looking when my male PCP did the exam, which he did at every physical. I was most likely looking down at his hands.

I changed doctors at the start of this year. I have yet to see the new doctor. I want to have a physical, but with the Covid 19 restrictions it will have to wait. I am curious if she will do one, and curious where I will be looking.

In general, I tend to stare straight ahead looking at a wall or door. It’s become a habit, my doctor growing up told me to look straight ahead as he pulled my underwear down. Another reason, in some of my current doctor's rooms there is a mirror on the back of the door. Depending on the angle I can watch him check my balls and penis. It interesting watching him grasp my penis and balls in the mirror.

In certain situations, while my doc. turns to put on the gloves I’m lowering my underwear. I just continue to look down as he checks my penis and balls. Of course, when he starts to palpate the second testicle I automatically turn away prepared to cough when told.

I definitely look down.

By my sides typically.

Hands are by my sides.

Use them to translate whatever the doctor tells me into sign language for the deaf and hearing impaired.

That, or shadow puppets.

Most of the time i keep my hands by my side, but if im feeling good that day i might throw my hands on my hips and give a little super hero pose LOL

For a real life exam, I always just keep my hands by my sides. In a play exam, either on my hips in a superman pose, or crossed behind my head.

I usually have my hands at my sides, sometimes they are clenched as well.

This is a good question. I usually have my hands at my sides. However, now that I have thought about it, I like the idea of putting my hands on my hips. My internist is a female and it is always interesting when she does a testicular exam. She has me stand next to the exam table and then lower my underwear to just above my knees. I don't think my hands would be in the way, but it would be interesting to see.

I ‘d leave them hanging by my sides but as it is customary in my country for the hernia check to blow on the back of your hand, this would leave only one at that stage.

If I am doing a play exam myself, I like to ask my examinee to put his hands behind his neck. This facilitates a check on body hair, also enhancing feelings embarrassment and vulnerability in the exam candidate. A turn on for most of the guys in this kind of play.

Real exam yesterday. Hands at my side. Before turning around for the DRE the doc and I chatted for a good 3-4 minutes about the effects coffee and iced tea have on frequent urination. Caffeine can irritate the bladder - so he said drinking more plain water not containing caffeine may reduce the frequency and urgency to pee even if the volume of water is greater. Just a casual conversation with my pants down and tee shirt half covering the stuff.

When my doctor wanted to examine my testicles, he asked me to stand up, then to pull down my trousers and underpants and to look ahead. He then knelt behind me and examined my two balls. The procedure was done with the minimum of fuss, and took about 1 to 2 minutes from beginning to end.

Thanks for pointing that out. I merged the 2. Whenever you see something like that please contact a moderator.

I usually look down as the doctor begins. I'm always curious to see how he approaches the testicular exam. However, I of course have to look to the side when he begins doing a hernia exam. Some don't mind my penis lays on top of their hand (which is was happened to me yesterday) and others tend to "reach in from the bottom" and rarely touch the penis. I've never been asked to hold my penis up against my abdomen while the doctor examined my testicles though.

When I was a teenager I always looked down at my genitals when the doctor put their hands on my waistband. I wanted to see exactly what was being touched.

I always intend to look down and watch during that part of the exam, at least until I have to turn my head and cough. However, I always get distracted by how close I am to the door and how easy it would be for someone to accidentally walk in and get a full view of me. I end up staring at the door and wonder why the doctor didn’t just pull the curtain closed for the peace of mind.

I will usually just look at the ceiling or wall, or close my eyes. thats kind of what I do during a lot of medical procedures.

I looked to the female doctor in the eyes, and say softly: pls be gentle........lol.....

No......I probably look other way......LOL

I like to look and see what the doctor or nurse is doing.

Normally during the testicular exam I am holding up my gown and watch the doctor as he examines me. I normally get a little chubby, but never full on erection during a real exam. By this point in a play exam, I’ve got a raging erection.

My testicles are examined while lying down so I end up staring at the ceiling. The doctor pulls down my underwear to my knees.

Over his shoulder or head

I always watch what the Dr. is doing, but what I am thinking is (I wonder if the Dr. really believes that turning my head provides them any protection.)
