Medical examinations for school and university

I suspect a lot of people these really struggle to believe these stories. At school medicals when we standing in line in just our underpants , it was a regular sight to see a mother smack her boy, or from behind the screens they was often the unmistakable sound of hand on bare flesh. Can you imagine the outcry nowadays

We had the school nurse come and check vision, hearing, and feel the glands around the neck, but never a full physical at school. For any physical, shots or such we went to our regular doctor. I'm sure the school district paid for some of the physicals if they were for school sports and such, but were for some reason never conducted at the school building. Of course the physicals were pretty thorough for sports and included genital exams and hernia checks, but never a rectal exam. Of course I always fantasized as to how thorough the girls exams were, but never overheard them talking about it. On the other hand us boys were always joking and laughing about the physicals and what they had done to us.

I suspect the reason why we seemed to have school medical examinations in the UK but they weren't common in the States is down to cost. Since we have the National Health Service, which would pay for the medicals whether they were held at school or with our normal doctors, it was more convenient to do them all in one place. Ecomonies of scale would have made it cheaper too. In the States, if they were done at school then presumably the school would have had to pay whereas if they were carried out by the family doctor then the parents would have to pay.

Awsome!

As many others, I would love to hear well written recounts of girls school / sports physicals. 😃

Especially midsmaleuk: I gather that if you had any detail about Julie's examination, you'd share it already - but I'd love to hear about it 😃

I couldn't get out of there quick enough at the time to know nything about Julie's exam, KingsleyRuhl. If it happened today they would have to throw me out! 😉

Some of the recent posts concerning school medicals seem to be similar to my experience, as described earlier in this column.

However at my school we had no choice on the matter of a parent being with you for the medical. They were expected to attend so that your health could be discussed with them by the doctor, and letters were sent out to the home to ensure attendance. If neither of the parents or a guardian could be there, the reasons would have to be sent in to the school in writing and the school would make strenuous efforts to ensure one of them did come with you. There were very few instances where one of the parents did not attend the medical. It would normally be your mother who came to the medical, because most fathers would be at work and they would normally leave this job to the mother anyway.

My school medical took place in the late 60's when I was 14 years old. I attended a ordinary Grammar school and things were much different then to how they are now. Discipline was very strict and form teachers gave the cane on the hands for minor offences as a matter of routine. I myself received the cane on both hands and can testify that it did hurt. For more serious offences (like smoking ect) you would be sent to the Headmaster for punishment. He would administer the cane or "slipper" to the backside, trousers would be pulled down to the ankles and shirt and blazer drawn up over the back.

School uniform was worn at all times and consisted of: black blazer with the school crest on the top pocket, school tie, white shirt, black trousers, black shoes that must be kept polished and a pullover was worn in winter. Hair was always kept short, long hairstyles were not permitted.

P.E. kit consisted of white shorts, white vest (singlet), pumps and white socks. A note from home was required to be excused P.E. If you forgot your kit you would do it in your vest and underpants with bare feet. Showers were taken after every P.E. session.

Boxer shorts were unheard of then and coloured or patterned underwear was very rare. Most boys wore white Y front style briefs and a white vest. My mother always bought my underwear from Marks & Spencer and it was always white Y front aertex type briefs and a white interlock vest. In fact she bought me exactly the same underwear until I started buying my own and funny enough even then I still bought the same white Y front aertex style briefs and white vest from Marks & Spencers right up to this day.

I have previously described the medical itself, but in order to ensure the detail was correct here it is.

On the day of our medical we were called out in groups of three, at the allotted time, to meet our mothers at the surgery. On entering the surgery we noticed one of the lads from the previous group was sat on some chairs with his mum, he was wearing nothing but his socks and white Y front briefs. We guessed that this was what we would have to do and sure enough the nurse come over to us and told us to remove all of our clothes except for socks and underpants. This we did and as I undressed I handed my clothes to my mother who folded them neatly so they would be o.k. to wear after. A couple of us had to stand up to wait as there were not enough chairs and of course our mums took those that were available. I was not too bothered about stripping to my briefs and socks because my mother saw me every day in my underwear and at school we were used to each other in various stages of undress getting changed for P.E. and having a shower afterwards. Also there was not a lot you could do about it anyway. While we were waiting some other lads returned (one at a time) to retrieve their clothes and they looked quite flustered. They were also dressed in just their white briefs and socks, one of them did look as if he was a bit aroused as his briefs were sticking out a bit at the front. Some of them found their clothes had been placed on the floor so others could sit on the chairs.

When my name was called we left my clothes on the chair (as everyone did) and went with my mum to see the nurse. She took all the usual measurement of waist, chest, height and weighed me. While I was seeing the nurse I heard a cough come from round a corner in the surgery and noticed the lad who gone before me standing in front of the doctor (at the side of his desk), hands behind his back and his briefs down to his knees. This I did not fancy because my mum had not seen me naked for a few years now.

It was then my turn to see the doctor. I went round the corner to where the doctor was sat at a desk facing the wall. There was a chair provided next to the doctors table (against the back of the wall) for my mum to sit on while I stood at the side of his desk facing the doctor, in between him and my mum.. The doctor looked at me and asked me to walk up and down the surgery a couple of times and then listened to my heart and looked inside my ears. He then asked my mum several health related questions while he took notes. After this the doctor asked me to put my hands behind my back and without getting out of his chair he leaned over to me, put his fingers in the waistband of my Y fronts and lowered them down to my knees. I was quite embarrassed by this, and decided to just look straight ahead and focus on the wall to take my mind off it. The doctor then took my testicles in his hand, rolled them about a bit and gently squeezed them, inspecting them as he did so. He then held my testicles in his cupped hand and asked me to cough. While he was doing this I could feel myself slowly start to get an erection. After coughing I glanced down and noticed my penis was at "half-mast".

The doctor then took my penis in his hands and eased my foreskin back past the nob end of my penis. As he did this I winced and went "OW". I had never had my foreskin drawn back like this before, not even when I masturbated, and normally my foreskin covered all of my penis, even when it was erect, so it was a bit of a shock I suppose really. I also think it probably did hurt a bit as he stretching it back. My foreskin felt tight around my penis and the end was very sensitive. I immediately got a full erection with my penis sticking straight up. The doctor looked me in the face and said "Did that hurt, if it did your foreskin may be too tight". I said "No, its o.k." I did not want him messing about any more than was necessary. The doctor continued inspecting my penis for a bit and then said to my mother "Your son has not started growing pubic hair yet". He took a good look around my penis and testicles. I had never thought it as a problem, not

having any pubic hair yet. I was only 14 and I do not know the correct age for your to start growing pubic hair - if there is a correct age. You do notice other lads when you have showers at school and I know some did have a good "bush" while some just had a few sparse hairs and some like myself did not have any hair yet. The doctor then said to my mum "Well everything else seems to be working o.k. so he is probably just a late starter, I expect it will happen soon". I went crimson red and just felt like curling up and hiding. I was stood there with a full erection, briefs down to my knees facing the doctor and my mum while he discussed my lack of pubic hair with her.

After what seemed like an age the doctor told me to pull my Y fronts back up, which I was only too glad to do. However my aertex, mesh type briefs did not do much to cover up my erection, which was sticking up at the front of my briefs. I could see that it was quite visible through my Y fronts as was the fact that my foreskin was still drawn back and the sensitive end seemed to show up quite a bit . The doctor was talking to my mother, I had no idea what about, I was staring intently at the wall in front, I had to pull my briefs up a couple of times or my penis would have popped out over the top. The aertex mesh material of my Y fronts was rubbing against the exposed end of my penis making it even more sensitive. I thought I may ejaculate soon, my penis was throbbing in my briefs and I noticed a small damp patch on my Y fronts where the end of my penis was. I was thinking that if I did ejaculate I would never be able to live it down.

Eventually the doctor finished with us and we had to walk back to where the chairs were so I could retrieve my clothes. I still had a full erection and could feel my erect penis bouncing about in my Y fronts as we walked back. When we got back to the chairs there was another group of three lads, with their mums, awaiting their turn. They had already stripped off and were stood in their white briefs and socks.

I noticed them looking at me, and they did tell me afterwards that could see my erection through my Y fronts. I did not care at the time whether they could see my penis was erect or not, I just wanted to get dressed and get out. I started getting dressed and pulled my vest on first, as I was tucking it into my briefs I managed to pull my foreskin back into place. This did make it less sensitive. I finished getting dressed and returned to my class.

At the time it was extremely embarrassing but I soon got over it. From talking with other lads about the medical I was not the only one to get an erection and a number of those who did not, admitted that they very nearly did. I still do not like having my foreskin pulled back over my penis, and if it does happen it is quite tight, so the doctor may have been correct about that. A couple of months after my school medical I did start sprouting some pubic hair. It was very sparse for quite a while though, and nor particularly "bushy". May be it was because I was very fair, I don't know.

Hey thommo, did the doctor ever follow up your tight foreskin, make a note of it or anything like that? I presume they'd be able to tell if it was tight even if you said it wasn't?

Thommo - One last question, did any of your class mates say they'd had embarrassing exams? What sorts of things did they report?

No I can't say that any of my classmates did let on about any follow up to the school medical. Of course there was talk about the medical at school when several of my classmates admitted that they had a "semi-erection" or could feel that were going to get an erection. There was also one or two others, who like me did get a full erection. I suppose a lot of it was to do with your age.

I did not let on to many people about my visit to the doctors after, only to my best friend, whom I also had experiences of mutual masturbation with, which I can post about if anyone is interested.

I'm certain that I speak for the 99% of us who are most certainly interested in those experiences.

A seven year old girl from Miami is not likely to appreciate the nuances of a school medical exam at such a tender age. It was through memories that I began imitating the physical I received in elementary school. This happened a few years later when I began to understand my body more. The outstanding feature of waiting in the nurse's office was that I had to take my clothes off. To this day I tremble with anticipation for my next encounter with a medical professional, probably because of my first innocuous experiences. The vivid recollection of the lady [doctor] pulling my panties away from me to peer downward has always provoked feelings of involuntary molestation. Stretching out on the large exam table and being touched in purely clinical ways has since excited me and today I owe a great deal to those very root feelings felt so long ago.

We never had to have school exams ... only a sign-off from parents for sports

I was subject to tjose exams every year until the 6th grade. No one liked them.....but we seem to now. How odd is the brain?

I had 3 sports physicals performed at school, which was an optional thing they brought in a doctor for anyone playing sports, you could conveniently and cheaply get your physical done that day at the school instead of going to your regular doctor. They were in 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Each time you waited in a big line in the hallway, but went into a private room one at a time for the exam.

In 6th grade, while waiting in the line I was very nervous that there would be a genital exam. When I was that age, I did NOT like them when I went to my regular pediatrician. So I Figured this was sorta a way to avoid that part by getting it done by the school. Turned out, the male doc did not do any genital exam, all that worrying for nothing.

7th Grade: I remembered from the previous year there was no genital exam, so I was not worried a bit for this one. But boy was I wrong this time! About halfway through waiting in line, a couple of the guys that had finished the physical stopped by to chat with me and my buddy who was in line with me. He goes "I wouldn't go in that room if I were you". I then knew exactly what was about to come and all of the sudden got butterflies in my stomach, I was now totally nervous. It's finally my turn and after the male doc does everything else, I say "is that it doc?" he goes "yep pretty much...". A second later i hear the words "drop your pants and your boxers real quick to check for hernia". This was the first time I had a genital exam standing up.

The next year in 8th grade, the exam was the exact same way. I remember seeing one 6th grade girl in the hall mutter "I wonder why they have separate lines for the girls and boys?" Obviously she did not know that the boy's checkups included a hernia check.

The closest I have ever had to a physical in school is a scholiosis (sp?) check. I was so nervous I called in sick that day, which ended up being worse. I had to make up the test the next day with 2 male gym teachers in the office. It was a small office off of the gymnasium and I was in either 5th or 6th grade (female). I had to remove my shirt to have the gym teacher check my spine. I still don't know why both were there, but it was quite embarrassing to pulled out of class to remove my shirt in front of two men!

Well, I had very few school exams but pediatrician visits were most embarrassing around age 12-13, generally just around the onset of my puberty.

Where I live, the school offers free physicals to struggling families, but everyone else is encouraged to see their family doctor instead. Works for me, because at that age I did NOT want somebody I was going to see in the hallways everyday looking "down there". Much better when it's a doctor you don't know outside of the office.

At my school, we always had a doctor come around for sports physicals. When I was 18, I went out for the basketball team and had to endure the humiliation of a FEMALE doctor examining my gentials.

She was very cold and professional.

For most of the exam, I was in my underwear but for the final part (check for hernias), I had to strip and she gave me a full genital exam.

When I was 13 years old, my school had tryouts for football. My parents never had the chance to get my school physical done with my normal doctor. On the last day we were given to get the physical done, the school nurse called my father for permission. Once that was done, right after lunch break, I was called into the office. There was another boy in there and a girl, both around the same age. The boys and girls were separated by a curtain partition. The nurse and her assistant performed the physicals (both of which were female). I didn't see much of the girls but heard the instructions she was given. When she was told to put her hands above her head and squat down I envisioned things that made me slightly excited (doesn't take much @ that age). When it was my turn, I was told to remove my pants and shirt, to stand in my underwear. The nurse grabbed my testicles and asked me to cough, I knew she could feel me hard but she didn't say anything.

My school medical was in the UK at 15yo. Had to take a letter home inviting a parent to attend; but as most of knew what was going to happen, no way would we allow that! Had to see the nurse individually early in the week to do the height, weight & eyesight, stuff then called out of class a few days later a few at a time for the actual exam. It took place in the empty girls games changing area, which was set up for this purpose. On entering we had to strip to our underpants and wait on a bench for the doc to call us in one at a time into another glass partitioned area, so as one boy came out the next went in. Not really a thorough exam but did look down our pants. Think it shocked some of us and would be really embarrising if a parent was there as presumably would see several of us stripped off whilst waiting.

Rapide040 good that you have started to post now. Your school medical experience particularly interesting.

Starting in junior high physicals were given to everyone by a doctor who contracted with the school - All the boys were checked for hernias - Parents were never involved - If there was any type of health issue a letter was sent home and you had to go to your family doctor to have whatever the issue was corrected and your doctor had to send a letter to the school stating the issue had been corrected

They put anybody that wanted to play sports on a bus across town and did it at the hospital. You were in your underpants in a group for blood pressure and weight, but went into a private room with the doctor for heart check, and of course, the hernia exam. It started in grade 7.

I think at 14. I was late to puberty and just had a little pubic hair and a very small penis. the doctor rubbed my stomach and touched my underpants when he did that and i got completely erect. I was still erect when he pulled my underpants down at the end of the exam.

I recall school exams up until I entered high school.

They would call about 5 boys or girls out of class and you would go to the nurses office and they would shut the door and we had to strip down to our underwear. Than the nurse would check our height and weight. Than we sat until we got called one by one into the little room they would normally let you lay down in if you did not feel good. The Doctor would be in there and it would be the normal stuff, check your eyes, check your heart. I don't recall temp or BP being checked. They would check your knee reflex and once quick hand down your shorts for the hernia check. I recall them being pretty unremarkable.

I have to admit though I always wanted to be a fly on the wall for the girls exams! The thought of a group of them having to strip down in there and waiting nervosly in their little bras and panties did get me hot. I think a big part of it was that girls in that age group are so shy about their bodies. The boys probably did not care if the door was open or closed. The girls at that age would have died if anybody got a peek. Truly the forbidden fruit back then.

For my school exams, I would be escorted to a room in my pediatricians office, where my temp was taken and blood drawn. Then the nurse would say, "I need you to take all of your clothes off but you can leave on your underwear" The doctor would come in and start the exam, then he would say "I need to check your development, so please take off your underwear." I would the get naked and get back on the table. He would check every part of my penis and scrotum and then ask me to flip over. He would then insert his finger into my anus and feel around for a few minutes before giving me any shots i needed into my butt. I would then stand up, and he would do a hernia check and tell me to get dressed.

At school we had a small infirmary and Matron was always there to ensure that we well looked after.Always the first step,when admitted would be an intimate examination.This included checking for cleanliness around the penis/scrotum and the anus.

That is why we always tried to find ways to get into the infirmary

As gyn_luvr said, it is hard to even see a doctor here, let alone a specialist. Doctors don't visit our schools anymore.

Had one exam done by a female doctor and she pulled down my briefs while I was lying down. She examined my penis and testicles lying down and then told me to leave my shorts down and stand in front of her. She did the hernia exam with me standing. Then she had me get back on the table on my side for a rectal exam. The process was awkward and embarrassing.

And then you woke from a really deep sleep, that's when you realized that it all was a wet dream. Poor old boxglove

When I left school, we had a final exam from the doctor. He was a grumpy old git. Checked ENT and chest, then finally, with pants down, held my balls, head to the left and cough came the command. Pant up. Next! he yelled.

All the exams where done in public in the gym hall as we all lined up waiting for our turn. The girls where all lined up in another line next to ours. But seeing another doctor in the same hall and that's the way it was in the 60s

In high school I required a physical exam to play sports. It was not performed in school, I had to go to my family doctor. Before this time I never had to take my clothes off or have my genitals inspected, as far I can remember. So my mom would come in the exam room with me, which was very embarrassing. But for genital exam, I would face the doc and just pretended she wasn't there. But when I turned 16 and could drive myself to the doctor, she did not come with me any more, which was a relief.

For my sports physical I always saw my family doctor who was male, and when he retired his replacement was also a male. I haven't been in a few years for a checkup or exam, but next time I go I would love to have young female doctor or nurse do my physical exam.

So the exam. I would come into the exam room, sit on the exam table and the nurse would check my vitals, weight, height, eyes all fully clothed, just took off shoes when I stepped on the scale. Then the doc came in, made smalltalk as he checked my nose, ears etc. Used the stethoscope to check my lungs and just went inside my shirt, no big deal for guys. Then I would lie down and he would palpate and tap my abdomen. Then he would ask me to "pull down your drawers" and lift up my shirt. As he said this he would put on white latex gloves and pull his swivel stool up so he was sitting right in front of my crotch. I would always pull down my pants first then boxers to prolong it. Sometimes I would leave my t-shirt covering my penis and wait for him to ask me to pull it up. Or I would just pull it up and wait with my flaccid penis there. Unfortunately, I never got an erection. The doc would check for hernia, then would tap each of my testicles. Then he told me to turn my head and cough as he gently touched each of my testicles. I was always trimmed short down there, but he never said anything about pubic hair or development. Then he said I could pull em up. That was it. Dissapointed it didn't last longer or have more done. No rectal exam, no enema, never touched my actual penis just my testicles and groin. Always did it standing up, never laying down. The nurse never was present to see my penis. Never had a sibling to come in the exam room with me, but wish I had a sister because I was always curious at the time if girls had to pull down their panties.

I would also have to take a urine sample but the nurse would give me the container, show me to the bathroom and told me to leave it on the shelf. Also disappointing I was never told to give the sample in the exam room or she never watched or held the cup while I peed.

Hope you enjoyed my story of my experience, if you have any question feel free to ask
