Medical examinations for school and university

Really ?

I do not want to give details about this school, it was very famous and very expensive. It had a long history and its building was old, but the methods of education were very modern. We already had sexual education classes that did not forget any aspect of sexuality, including masturbation.

It was not surprising that the doctor spoke in this way, but the nurse was more reserved and did not discuss these topics. I think everyone was aware that teenagers deprived of sex for months were going to practice masturbation, sometimes even in a group, but this is another subject.

I'm from Germany and I was examined during a school examination with 2 classmates (Girls) together.

But was only an eye test, hearing test, lung listening, height & weight, coordination test & we had to do sports exercises

It's still required in the US, from preschool through 12th grade. Most colleges also require one.

At the start of my junior year of high school we moved to a new town. My mom found me a new doctor, who turned out to be female. Or year later I had my pre-college physical with this new doctor and it was the most thorough exam I had up to that point. The nurse took the vitals and then asked me to undress my underwear which were tighty whities at the time. Then the doctor came in and introduced herself. She asked me a few more questions, which were quite embarrassing and then started the exam. In addition to a hernia exam, she gave me a very thorough testicular exam.

I had a full medical at school age 6, some other boys had medicals at 12 and 15 too, but not all and i was not lucky enough to be one of them, i have often fantasized how that would have gone

Yes i had one in my last Year of High School. I was 16.

My Teacher makes Three People Groups for the Exam. I was In a Group with 2 Girls.

We had a Vision test, hearing test, the nurse checks our heigth and weigth and Listen to our Lung Sound.

And we had to do Exercises like

"Touch outscretched Index Finger to Nose"

"Make 20 Jumping Jacks"

" Stand on Tip Toes"

And the nurse checks our reflexes and makes alot of other things.

I remember being called into the nurses office when i was in middle school. me and i bunch of other boys had to stand in a line with our shirts off and a doctor has us walk up and get examined one at a time. he just listened to our lungs, has us bend over and checked our spines, had us lay down and he listened to our hearts and pressed around our stomachs. i remember being able to see my classmates get examined, and they could see me...

Even If I am not sure that your story is true, I don't understand really why you complain about your physical examination at school.

I agree that the presence of high school girls to give you instructions to undress and to supervise you was rather inappropriate and also that of the deputy head teacher woman who seemed to enjoy to have power on you but it was not a big deal in fact.

You were very lucky that it happened in 1980, at my school in France which was not mixed, we would have never been allowed to keep our trousers, we were all together (but boys only) always instructed to undress in group in a locker room at least into briefs and each year of school from 6 to 12 grade, at high school two times in the nude in the locker room under instruction of the Pe teacher when we were the next to be called in the exam room.

Of course we were always instructed to remove our socks and stay bare feet even if the tiled floor was cold.

So it would have been very worse than it was for you if you had been instructed (as it might have been according to me at a serious school physical examination) to undress in briefs and if all boys had to remove their trousers immediately. And it could have been worse if you had been insttructyed as it happened at some american schools (middle or high schools) to come with just a jockstrap and to undress in jockstraps... leaving your naked butts exposed to the view of everybody beinhg here including the high school girls and the deputy head teacher.

You said that the deputy head teacher who was a stern woman liked to humiliate boys but I think that if she had really wanted that, it would have been worse for you , being instructed to undress into briefs or to come in jocks and to be instructed to undress into jocks or to let you expose for a while without closed curtains during genitals or hernia exams, it was so easy for her to have power on you.

As regards boys being pants pulled down and exposed to the view of girls during "he cough and turn " test for instance, you said that it was the case the year before, so you were lucky that it changed but I don't understand why?

believe me, complaints to school authorities or parents would have not been enough in France at my time , the 60's, to obtain a change in the set up of the physical examinations if it was a school decision to proceed in that way.

The parents would have laughed about the complaints and said that it was not important and that we might do what the school authorities told us to do without making a mess about it!...

May be things were different in 1980 but I presume that this procedure was applied since a lot of years, not only for one year just before 1980, so no

valuable reason to change it in my opinion.

So be lucky to have kept your trousers and don't complain to have been bare feet and bare chest in front of girls of your age, it was nothing.

"Jake New York"

You have not said at least in your last message on this forum how much you were undressed at your physical examination in the gym or in the health office down the hall ?

And at what age you were called for that kind of physical with examinations in group station by station , since you talk of a physical at 5 th grade but do not say if there was other ones after that first each year of school, which I presume was the case so at middle school as well as at high school?

Were you undressed in Pe clothes that means in shorts for instance or were you undressed in briefs or in trousers ?

You said that it lasted a very long time, 2 or 3 hours, all a morning for instance, so how were you undressed all that time while lining your turn at each medical station ?

Who was present apart the students, coaches or Pe teachers, or only members of the medical staff ? nurses, women doctors?

Was it embarrassing or only routine?

Was it the same at each grade?

To Esaterman

My story is genuinely true, don't see why I would even need to fabricate a story which isn't that remarkable or far fetched. I think the reason for the change was the protest from the guys in the year previous. The guys would just simply refuse. Believe me I went to a rough school, it wasn't uncommon for teachers to be ignored, and in some cases assaulted. I think this occasion was more about a check in the box, and I feel to this day they knew they had to tread lightly.

And it could have been worse if you had been instructed as it happened at some american schools (middle or high schools) to come with just a jockstrap and to undress in jockstraps... leaving your naked butts exposed to the view of everybody being here including the high school girls and the deputy head teacher.

You said that the deputy head teacher who was a stern woman liked to humiliate boys but I think that if she had really wanted that, it would have been worse for you , being instructed to undress into briefs or to come in jocks and to be instructed to undress into jocks or to let you expose for a while without closed curtains during genitals or hernia exams, it was so easy for her to have power on you.

Yes, let's hear more from folks who had to go through THIS

Two of my high school.girlfriends were accepted in an Air Force program that consisted of some active/reserve duty program similar t a work study program that some college offer accounting majors I.e. they did active duty then school then active duty. Anyhow, they got out of school one day and went to some military facility for their physicals. Both complained that they were examined as a group not individually. They said that the doctor and all the nurses were all female but that it was extremely embarrassing having you breats and other areas of your anatomy examined in front of twelve girls and not in private.

Did anyone ever have exams at school?

What were they like? What happened during them?

I had many math exams. They were long and very hard. I always broke out in a sweat when they got graded.

I never went through that but holy moly that is so hot i would have loved that

On the day of the examination the whole class went to the health department, before that we had received letters to the parents. I still remember that we were all afraid when the teacher came with letters. Then we always got a lecture about health, good nutrition and so on. Then we went to the big waiting room, which was like a classroom. There we had to wait and do our homework ourselves.

Then 4 pupils were picked up one after the other by an employee of the health department, there were always either 4 boys or 4 girls. The employee then took us to the antechamber to the examination room. Here we had to undress down to our underpants and first small tests were made. We were measured and weighed, there was a vision and hearing test and the blood pressure was measured. One of them always had to go to the doctor.

The examination by the doctor was the worst part , besides the nervous waiting in underpants. First of all she always greeted you and asked you questions. It was strange to sit there and talk while you were only in your underpants. Then the actual examination started. I can still remember that especially the bone structure and the joints were looked at very closely. We always had to do exercises like walking up and down in the room or trying to touch the ten points. The worst thing about touching the ten points was that she always took off her underpants and spread her buttocks to take a look at my anus. Afterwards we had to get up and she looked us in the mouth. Afterwards we were still intercepted from the front and behind. Then always the infamous sentence came that one should push the underpants down. After you did that, the doctor checked the testicles and the foreskin and took a close look at everything down there. Afterwards we were allowed to pull up the underpants again and go.

It was strange to wait with the other classmates and to know how they would be examined. What I really hated was how hastily all the examinations were done, you really felt like a piece of meat.

In my school, our "medical" examinations were actually fitness tests that had little to no medical parts to them. A group of 5-10 or so of us would go at a time and it lasted two class periods. We would be instructed to do a number of exercises and maneuvers. We did not have to remove our clothing and we were rarely touched at all.

SchuchternerPatient, your post reminded me of my own experiences of physical exams at school. We would be told in PE that we were having a physical that day and asked to strip down to our underwear. We then walked as a group down the corridor to the gym. Some of the girls had obviously heard what was going on as on a couple of occasions we were encounters by a group of girls wolf whistling at us which gave me a hard on before I even got in knowing that girls I fancied had seen me whilst I was only wearing my boxer briefs.

It was a station to station type exam and started off with putting your back against a wall while they took your height, stepping on a cold scale while you were weighed, and then having your waist size measured. You then sat down and had your blood pressure measured and gave a blood sample and was given a cup to give a urine sample. Then I had my eyes and ears checked, including the doctor getting close to me while he put his torch into them closely, and had my throat checked with the torch also. I then had my heart and lungs listened to all over. With my heart it was listened to at rest and then I had to do exercises. Usually they were sprinting on the spot for a minute but on one occasion it was doing a minute of jumping jacks (while still wearing boxers and having my dick wobbling about inside them!). They then listened to my heart again to compare it when beating fast. After that I lay down on the bed to have my stomach palpated all over as well as listened to in several places. Next, I had to sit up while they did reflex checks and then stand up and touch my toes while they ran their finger down my spine. I then had to put my hands behind my head while they checked my lymph nodes.

Unlike you I didn't have a rectal exam but I did have a genital exam. I went behind a screen and was asked to remove my boxers and they then did a hernia check by getting me to cough in both directions and then proceeded to palpate mg balls and shaft and retracted my foreskin to check my glans.

Like you, I got to see what my classmates were getting checked out, and the ones behind got to watch me. They didn't see my genitals getting examined but before I went behind the screen I could hear everything that was being said so knew exactly what to expect.

I had to have a same sex group physical when I tried to join the military which I failed because of a heart defect. The nurses and doctors were both sexes. It was the normal things, heart, lungs done in front of each other, and breast and tummy done behind a flimsy screen which hid nothing from the other people in the room.

I went to a private school and school medicals where done on entrance of infant then junior age. I think i recall maybe 2 or 3 times when a visiting doctor came to see us in between those years also. My daughters have only been seen twice each at school asking for my attendance each time. In the UK school medical exams hardly exist at all nowadays.

First school exam: I was six years old, in 1964. I spent it separately because I could skip a year and start primary school during the year, my classmates had this exam earlier. It was winter. My mother did not inform me in advance, knowing that I was very worried about special events, with sometimes unpleasant consequences, such as indigestion. She accompanied me to school that morning as she still did every day. We went to the infirmary, where the school nurse was officiating. My mother stayed for the visit, it's the only time she was there at school.

There was the school nurse with a doctor (a women). I was bare chest, I do not think I had to take off my pants. I do not remember the beginning that had to be classical (auscultation, etc.). It was certainly my mother who answered the questions. At the end, the doctor indicated that she desired to lower my pants, my mother made a comment because I had pantyhose under my pants, because of the cold weather (I think it was usual at that time and that there were also pantyhose for boys). The doctor (or my mother, I do not know anymore) lowered my pants. The doctor put her hand in my underpants, always with pantyhose, to feel my testicles. She did not look at my penis. I was surprised that I had no erection. She did not try to retract my foreskin, so I deduce that my mother filled a questionnaire in advance and that she had mentioned that I had been circumcised. This visit had no consequences, no disease having been detected.

Second school exam: I was 9 years old, in 1967. This visit was supposed to take place later, but I was a year ahead as I already explained.

The visit took place in the school building, another one. We went in alphabetical order and, being in the middle, I was neither among the first nor the last. We were in class, so no possibility to talk with the classmates who had already passed. When a comrade had finished, he would come back to class and send the next one. We had to go down to the basement, in a dark room that was to be unused in normal times. There was a bench in front of the entrance and we had to undress when we arrived and then sit down. We could keep our white briefs, I do not know about socks anymore. There was a nurse and a doctor (a women). There were two other boys before me. I could observe the course of the exam, I saw them from behind.

The first was big. The doctor pulled the waistband of the briefs on the front and made a visual check. I think he was circumcised, like me. I was never able to check it since we did not have showers after gymnastics.

The second was leaner. The doctor pulled down his underwear to the knees and retracted his foreskin. I guessed since I saw only his buttocks. I knew what it was because I had often seen my brother do it in the bath. He looked embarrassed when he turned around at the end of the visit.

It was my turn. I had an examination of my back and the doctor found a mild scoliosis. My parents were informed and then I had to go to another doctor at the hospital and then do some gymnastics to correct this problem. At the end, the doctor also pulled the waistband of my underpants. As she did not see well if my testicles were down, she put the hand inside to raise them.

I then went back to class. A girl asked me how it happened. I told her we were in panties, she looked very horny. I obviously do not know how the girls' exam was going.

What surprises me right now are the very precise and present memories that I still have of this event.

Third school exam: I went from primary school to high school at the age of 10, losing the year ahead and being at the same level as the others. The consequence is that I had to repeat the visit of the 10 years that I had already had at 9. It had been preceded by a back control. We had to go to the college infirmary, all the boys of the class together, and undress to the underwear. The doctor had just visually controlled our back. He had received my file and knew that I had already done gymnastics. The school doctor was apparently a doctor who once examined me when I was a baby, while he was doing a replacement.

Before the medical visit my parents received a questionnaire. It was always me who filled it, with the typewriter, new proof of the interest that I had for this, interest which has not weakened since. A line was reserved for the operations, I never forgot to mention the circumcision, operation which had some importance in my eyes whereas it was not to be very significant from a medical point of view. There were no specific questions about genital problems.

The medical service was located in a building about two kilometers from the college. We went there on foot, in groups of three, in alphabetical order. I was in the second group. When we arrived, the first group of three was passing. We were thus six in a small cloakroom. We had to undress shortly before our turn and go alone to the doctor. When the first two came back, they talked about the exam they had, talking only about genital exam. It seems to me that one of them mimicked the doctor's gestures, but they did not give any oral details, so no mention of retracting the foreskin (I knew they had a foreskin since we had collective showers). It was certainly easier for them to use gestures rather than words to describe what they had suffered, perhaps a kind of modesty? I had an erection hearing my two comrades.

So I went to the doctor, the erection quickly fell back, he lowered my briefs while I was on the table, manipulating long enough my penis and my testicles, I not really realized what he was doing because I could not watch.

Fourth school exam: I was almost 13 years old, in 1971. It was in the same place as the third visit. I remember less from the beginning, the nurse had to weigh and measure us. We had never a collection of urine or blood tests. The difference is that we could keep our pants to go to the doctor. I went first, I do not know why, maybe it was not in alphabetical order anymore. I was sitting on a chair in the hallway next to the doctor's office door. He had to be a replacement or a new one and it was the first day he had boys. The nurse told him that it was like as for the girls and then she whispered so that I would not hear. I obviously guessed. I was lying on the examination table for auscultation, always with the pants. In the end, the doctor told me he wanted to see if the testicles had come down. At that age he could have asked me to undress alone, no, he even took off my belt, opened the fly and pulled the underpants down to clear the penis and testicles. He did a very quick visual check. I think it was this visit that troubled me the most because I had already started puberty, even if I had never had ejaculation (it happened two years later). I had to make again corrective gymnastics that year and do spine radios in underpants. The operator lowered it, but only to pubic hair.

Fifth and last school exam: I was 18, in 1976. We had not been notified in advance due to an administrative error. We arrived one morning at the physics class and had to go immediately to the medical department. It was not the same place as for the previous visits. I should again undress with the other guys, this time almost naked, we could only keep the briefs, nothing else, no socks. This doctor probably wanted to look carefully at the posture, he made a remark to a comrade who had spoken about it when leaving the office and looked annoyed that he had problems. I do not think that the doctor told me about my scoliosis, which was not so bad because it did not avoid me from doing military service. This time, no examination of the genitals, no need to lower the briefs.

Having attended a large university with undergrad and graduate programs including a medical school, the medical facilities were top notch to say the least. The school clinic was attached to the medical school building as well so it served as a student site for all sorts of medical professionals from nurses to doctors in school and beyond. It was usually a busy place for sick and well visits offering a full compliment of care. I tended to use it for sick visits though one didn't necessarily escape a physical exam.

On one occasion, I went because I had to receive a health screening for my placement. The nursing student was someone I recognized from a large lecture class. I don't know if she did but nevertheless it felt a bit concerning. She had me produce a urine sample alone and accepted my offering before escorting me to an exam room and then smiling, as she commented, "You'll need to undress" and handed me a gown. I must have looked shocked as she went onto say, "Everything off, and turned and left the room. I did as told and about 10 minutes later, there was a knock on the door and in she came to take my bp, temp and weigh me. Standing on the scale did reveal my naked back and bottom to some degree. While doing this, the doctor entered and made small talk before starting a head to toe physical. The nursing student left thankfully as I received a good going over including a complete genital and DRE. The latter was done with me leaning onto my elbows and having my legs spread wide and deeply probed. I gasped and was asked if this had been done in the past. Nodding was all I could provide as his finger twisted. After he had me sit and called he nurse student back in. I was to get a tetanus shot. Blushing some as she drew up the syringe and then shaking some as I assumed the position. She tried to be reassuring and once completed told me I was good for a long time! I saw her a few times in class from a distance and all I kept thinking was that she knew me in a way that others in the class did not!

Never for college but always for school

"ddel2" I have read the relation of the physical examinations for joining the army in the air force of your young women friends.

I understand that they could have been embarrassed if they were not used to be examined in group and naked since it was not frequent at school for girls but at least they were examined by only women since they said that the doctors and nurses were all females.

I am quite sure than for young men, it would have been worst because they would have been examined by doctors of both genders and certainly female nurses, it is almost common because there are now a lot of women in the army and especially there are more military doctors who are women than men at least in France.

I have heard some young men volonteer to join the army and relating their physical examinations by a doctor in the railway and generally they were examined by a woman doctor assisted by a woman nurse.

I understand that they could have been embarrassed if they were not used to be examined in group since they said that they were examined by group of 12, and without privacy since it was not frequent at school for girls but at least they were examined by only women since they said that the doctors and nurses were all females.

and it is exactly what "mellow " says : when he wanted to join the army, he was examined by doctors of bith genders and also in group without any privacy

I was examined twice for military stuff and the first time was by a female physician.
