What is your favorite part of a physical?

Oh, that's easy to answer. The DRE for sure.

I always find interesting that my PCP doctors over the years always leave the DRE as the very last thing they do in the annual physical and they seem kind of apologetic that they need to do it, because I guess a lot guys make such a fuss over it. I always respond by saying I don't mind having it done. I even asked my doctor one time if it is possible to do a prostate self exam and she said no because it would be too hard for me to reach and be able to detect anything if there was something wrong.

I seem to remember one member here on zity saying he asked his urologist how to do a self exam and they did take the time to at least show him how he might go about it.

I may get the nerve to ask that question one day and see what happens.

When the doc says " You're good to go for another year"

Blood pressure. Had my first orgasm with a blood pressure cuff inflated to the max.

" You're good to go for another year"

A famous quote from my Dr. Dreamy.

My favorite part of the exams were when he felt my neck, palpated my abdomen and checked my breasts for any lumps. Closest I ever came to any intimacy with his dreamy self. Siiiiggghhh

Reading these stories I always get turned on by the DRE or even the vaginal exam for the ladies but I still do this day hate going to the doctor for those exams. A couple years ago I got bronchitis and had to get a staroid shot in the but and that turned me on.

Defiantly the prostate exam

In terms of a touch sensation, I would have to go with abdominal, genital and rectal exams. Probably in that order too.

But I also enjoy the mental aspect of the act of being exposed to the doctor, the removing of the panties, lifting the dress and assuming the frog position. That feeling of "opening up" for a stranger to see, I'm not sure how else to describe it.

I get what you mean. A few years back I had a physical from a doctor and remained fully clothed throughout (even shoes and shirt). In a way, I felt more exposed disrobing for that genital exam since I was effectively undressing in front of the waiting Doctor. It's a surreal experience standing in front of someone fully clothed and unfastening your belt, unzipping your pants and pushing down your pants and underwear so that your genitals, and ONLY your genitals I might add, are on full display.

I agree Supermoney! One of the most embarrassing physical examination experiences I have ever had was shortly after I graduated from college. It was a middle aged doctor I did not know. I was wearing a polo and chinos when I arrived. I was not disrobed at all for the exam with the doctor taking my blood pressure over the polo, just placing the stethoscope under my shirt to listen to my heart and lungs, then lifting the shirt a bit while I lay supine for the abdominal exam. He then had me stand on a step stool next to the exam table, drop my pants and briefs, and lift the shirt to expose the genitalia for the testicular and hernia exam. The polo lifted up and the briefs and pants down to upper thigh level provided a perfect framing of the genitalia. Also, the awkwardness of unbuckling the belt, undoing the hook and button, zipping down and dropping the pants and briefs made it a great experience and exercise in embarrassment.

Nice to read this!! Thanks Hannah!!

I enjoy the DRE the most.

In my chilhood I liked very much all the physical exams, also because my pediatrician always performed a very thorough examination even If I went to Her for a simple cold: If I have to choose, probably back auscultation and percussion and in particular abdominal examination (with me nude or wearing only White briefs pulled down at least to the knee or only a White t-shirt pulled up to the shoulder, without briefs, receiving a very long palpation, first superficial and then deeper, then again with flexed legs, then percussion, rarely auscultation, and finally genital exam, also quite thorough and in different positions) were my favourite

There are a few bits of an exam I like. The abdominal exam and the genital exam. It's relaxing when doc is feeling over my tummy

Mine has to be the genital exam with the abdominal exam running a close second....She's just so thorough with my penis and testicular exams that I can't wait to get back the next year!

I like all unexpected parts. I love especially when it becomes emberassing and the doc says "please lower your pants".

I also like the DRE and rectal ultrasound.

All of a thorough physical, no parts left out. Most valuable to me is the extended discussion between me and my internist of lab results and physical exam.

Being told that I'm healthy!

Undoubtedly when she pulls my boxers off and takes care of my boys and checks me for a hernia. In all honesty, it's been a bit too long since I've had a physical, and really should go again soon.

"Accidentally" drinking ice water immediately before the exam and having to get a rectal temp as a result.

Succinctly said, @HannahUK

It's that feeling of being opened up, exposed, that is so exciting, so embarrassing in the best way.

As a woman once said to me, I recall it vividly, the first time she pushed my legs up to my chest and then slowly pulled my cheeks apart with her fingers, "ohhhhh, I feel like a doctor!"

We played a lot of Doctor from then on.

Doing: cardiovascular

Getting done: rectal

During the exam: getting through it hopefully without an erection

After the exam: thinking back about standing there with my pants down, genitals flopping around, with the doctor fondling all my private parts until he was satisfied that he had seen and touched enough.

My favorite part is the testicular exam and the prostate exam.

I drip tons of precum with or without an erection so when the doctor starts feeling my testicles and the wet head swirls around her gloves it's awesome. I am also uncut so when they ask me to pull back the foreskin or do themselves, it's cool too.

And the prostate exam, well that's just fun!

In the past, my favorite part was when the dr told me to drop my underpants for the testicle check and hernia check. Had a physical late last year and they didn't even have me put a gown on. I asked the nurse and he told me that we don't have people get undressed for physicals any longer. When the dr came in I asked her about this new practice and she told me they don't even do the hernia check unless we are having symptoms. I was shocked that they didn't check me over very well at all. They looked at a computer screen.

In 2008 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and fortunately I found a holistic way of treating it and am cancer free these 8 years later. Because of the nature and location of the disease I have had an unusually large number of prostate exams and massages. To top things off, my head physician retired a couple of years ago and a brilliant as well as beautiful urologist/surgeon is heading up the department and I was assigned to her for my care. She understands the nature of my holistic healing and supports me but is cautious in that she has me come in every 90 days after getting a new PSA reading and she performs a digital anal prostate exam. Everything is totally professional however when I get the notice for the next appointment I must say I feel like a kid in a candy store, do you know what I mean?

First, my disclaimer that I'm all business when it comes to my actual medical care - I'm more concerned that everything is healthy than really enjoying any part of an exam in real life.

Disclaimer out of the way... what I really enjoy when receiving a physical/play exam is a myriad of things. The feeling of exposure and regaining modesty over and over as various parts of my body are exposed for examination and then recovered for modesty purposes. The feel of a stethoscope between my breasts and under my left breast as part of the cardiac exam. The doctor's hands as they explore and palpate my breasts. The feeling of my bottom hanging at the end of the exam table, feet in stirrups. The feel of the air against my bare bottom under the sheet prior to being exposed to the doctor. The warmth of the lamp on my bottom. Feeling the doctor separate and spread apart my labia and my buttocks. Being stretched open by the speculum. The doctor's finger in my rectum during the DRE. The feel of a nozzle or rectal thermometer in my rectum. The feeling of being exposed to the doctor in such an intimate manner. The knowledge that the doctor can see both my breasts and my perineum if I'm in the knee-chest position.

Mine is definitely the genital exam.

Mine too 😃

Mine is the weight/height check. My doctor makes me weigh in nude so she can get a very accurate weight.

The anticipation.

Two categories for that:

One is knowing that a certain test or check is coming and having to wait and endure all the other preliminaries before you get to it.

The second is not knowing what all will be involved but knowing there are several pissibilitied from simple reflex and flexibility test to the more invasive and intimate.
