Most Intimate Part of Anatomy

Either anus or head of penis with foreskin retracted

For men I feel the penis is the most intimate.

I agree with schldr, the anus and rectum are the most intimate parts of my body. To have them exposed for another person to see or touch, or to view or touch someone else's is for me quite an intimate thing.

For me it's the glans, particularly the meatus, corona and frenulum areas. Not so much the anus but agree it is more hidden. If you're not cut, the glans is also hidden, I like to think myself as retracted and my most intimate parts exposed.

What? Are you kidding? I have been a life model for many years and never heard of an art class asking for a model to retract his foreskin. Are you talking about a traditional art class or a more adult/erotic drawing group?

For me the anus/rectum is the most intimate. I think this is because even when you are naked it is hidden and not seen unless you are in a compromising position or your cheeks spread. The penis/testicles not really because they are "out there" easily seen.

I would have to say my butt hole

Or maybe the brain...who knows what the patient / doctor is thinking when the procedures begin ??

I would also say anus/rectum.. It is the most hidden part to start with plus if it needs to be examined you are sure to end up being forced into a compromising position.. I still remember the feeling from my first pediatrician visits when the doc asked me to 'pull my legs up' to have a look down there on that side - what a rush of embarrassment when you can't help but pulling your legs up slowly..

The anus for me

If I can be permitted I'll give two answers.

Yes the anus, firstly because I have to bend over and expose a part of myself and a view of myself that I can never see (I don't count mirrors). Also the other person is out of my sight so I can't see their reaction.

My second answer would be the penis but only if I'm expected to expose the head myself by rolling back the foreskin, somehow touching myself in front of someone else makes me feel more embarrassed. I've had a nurse do the same thing but because she was doing it, it was not quite as embarrassing but bending over the end of the examination table while naked while she did a prostate exam was; especially as two other women were watch everything she did.

Anus as probably most of you guys here .

The foreskin of my penis. I live in a community where the circumcision rate is probably 99%. Thus, I am somewhat self conscious of the fact that I still have my foreskin. Additionally, it is rather long and still tight which makes for difficulty in retracting it. I have never been asked to retract it myself. Usually the doctor will just grasp my foreskin and attempt to retract it himself. Some of the comments that I have received regarding my tight foreskin I find embarrassing.

For me (a male) it is most defiantly the anus.

I place it above the penis in intimate places because showing your penis can be something you are proud of (well maybe not me, but you get the idea) Showing your butt is no big deal, so penis is more intimate than buttocks, but the anus, spreading your cheeks to see the actual anus puts you in a vulnerable position. The penis is dominant, it is the organ of intercourse, it is the symbol of manhood, it is used to go forth and infiltrate the weaker sex (sorry ladies being primitive here)

The anus is a forbidden place. We are at our weakest when we are defecating. It holds our deepest secrets. I can not think of a place more intimate then the anus. Also, examining the penis is non-invasive. Examining the anus usually includes a rectal exam and I can not think of anything more intimate than having a finger shoved up you butthole.

Perhaps for ladies it is different?

The exposed after circumcision the head of my penis

I am a anal man myself

I have to agree that for me its the anus being asked to open up is very intimate

For me, it's the clitoris. Firstly, my clitoris is almost always covered by the hood so it's incredibly invasive when the doctor pulls back the hood and reveals it.

While I agree that anus is probably the most intimate because it is almost always hidden, for me it is the rim of the head of my penis. Extremely sensitive and also hidden alot and not touched or seen by many.

I think its the bit between the base of your balls and your anus, as its right in between your legs and is a place that no can see unless you are really in a very exposed position.

I would have to say the anus, there is no way that bending over, spreading your butt cheeks and exposing it prior to rectal exam is not humiliating

I agree with the anus

Without a doubt the anus

For me it is the heart.

For me it's deffenetly the testicles

1- my glans with foreskin retracted

2- anus

For men, the most intimate part of the body is the male urethra. On women, I'd have to go with the sphincter and/or armpit.

For me it would be my urethra although the anus is in my mind as well for this. i wonder that no female patient mentioned her cervix. I would think this is the most intimate part.

Definitely the anus. I have no problem going around the locker room without clothes. It does not bother me to go into a steam room/sauna and sit there naked. I enjoy going to nude beaches. But I wont sit or do anything that exposes my anus. In the locker room there is a drinking fountain. I never bend over to get a drink from it.

For me, count another vote for my anus. Definitely the most private part of my privates.
