Cremasteric Reflex

I've never had it checked on me.

I have checked it on a handful of patients over the years.

One time was on a boy who was about 16. His father was standing at the bedside and watching. The cremasteric reflex was normal, but as I checked it, he also began to develop an erection. I quickly covered him up, but I noticed his dad smiling. I wondered if the dad thought I stroked his inner thigh to see if he would develop an erection (that was not why I was doing it).
