Doctor requiring male patients to bend over for rectal and point their toes together

"Larz"

in France too, when there was still a compulsory military service, I was submitted to a compulsory pre-induction physicals and it included an examination of the anus area.

It was the first time that I was instructed at a physical examination to put on all fours on a table and to bend over on my elbows, in purpose to lift my naked buttocks so that a military doctor behind me hacould have a perfect view on that area.

It was in a large room where we were standing in line waiting for our turn to be examined. with several non commissioners officers to supervise us and of course several male doctors to perform examinations at different stations

So we did not have any privacy while being examined in group, even for that very intimate part of the whole examination

I must add that we were naked fromthe start to the end of the examination even for exams which did not require nudity as eye's test, ears, nose, teeth and so on ....

When I was on all fours on the table, my buttocks were visible by a lot of young men and adults as were before and after those of the other guys of my group.

As you presume, I think that the visual inspection of the anus was performed to check if we had no hemorroids or rushes. When the doctor did it and spread more largely my butts cheeks, he did not tell me why he was doing that, he had only given me orders, no explanations but an other draftee whom father was a doctor gave me the reason of that rather degrading inspection later.

After that, I had also a Dre examination, that means that the doctor inserted his finger in my anus and you can guess that he was a little tough and was not doing it gently and slowly, no matter if it hurted a liitle, he turned his finger what seemed to me rather a long time but was certainly short and he palpated the prostate glan. When it was finished, he squeezed firmly my buttocks without any more explanation before giving me a good smack on each cheek and he instructed me to stand up and to go to the next station.

it was exactly the same examination at the induction military physicals: a visual inspection of the anus and a DRE

.

I have never had one in this position.

I've had innumerable digital rectal exams, but have never been asked to point my toes in. Oddly enough, I used to give that instruction to a young submissive whom I would cane while she was bent over the back of a chair, nude from the waist down. It unquestionably opened the buttocka somewhat and added to her mortification. Once she had complied, I would lean in close and give a detailed description of her anus.

I had to see a urologist a few years ago for a minor (thank god) problem. I was not expecting a prostate exam let alone having been told to bend over for such an exam. It was over quite quick. As always "Just deal with it and move on."

The pointing of toes sounds an interesting prospect - anything the patient does not expect or understand adds to vuneralbility

Being on all fours, elbows lowered is probably the most humiliating position

Once by a young NP.

The doctor asks me to place my feet apart and bend over the table. Never had her ask to point my toes together.

I have never been asked to assume that position in a real exam. The strangest and by far the most difficult position I have been asked to assume for the rectal in a real exam, and this only happened to me once, was to bend over and grab my ankles. It felt quite weird and very vulnerable. Has anyone else had a rectal done in that position?

...bend over and grab my ankles

The last time I was ordered to bend over and grab my ankles, I was a high school student and was getting into position to be paddled! But I've never been in that position for a rectal exam.

Same for me.. had to grab my ankles back in school for a paddling, but never for the dr. closest would be leaning onto the table....

I went to an older doctor years ago who, for the rectal exam, had me bend over and grab just below my knees, but not quite to the ankles. I'm not sure how he said it, but something like, "Bend over and grab 'em." Wasn't sure what he meant exactly so I didn't reach all the way to my ankles. I was already undressed to my underpants so my briefs were around my ankles at the time. Like others here, when he said it, it reminded me of getting bent over for a paddling in school. He had a really low exam table that was too short to bend over and put elbows on. Old military doctor, I thought.

First i have ever heard of this.

I have never heard of this either

I was so facinated by this post, that when I was the doctor at my last play exam I asked my patient to do this and it really did open the anus nicely for the recal exam. I will definitely add this in future exams as well. It was a really nice tip!

One of you has written : "Being on all fours, elbows lowered is probably the most humiliating position"

it is true but it is also the more efficient position and it is not less confortable than "knees on the belly"

generally old doctors prefer that position "on all fours"

No -- never told to do anything with my feet. I have "the exam" from a number of doctors and there have been a number of positions but never and instructions about my feet so I wonder how common it is..

I understand that pointing the toes together makes it difficult to clench the buttocks.

No I have never seen this practice. I work in the military and can tell you that even though we see hundreds of patients a week of both genders. The rectal exam is usually done in conjunction with the pelvic exam in women, and most often then not a rectal exam for a male is leaning over an exam table without asking the patient to point there toes together.

I personally have never had that experience during an exam where I was asked to point my toes together.

For the real rectal exams I've had, I'm always positioned on my side with my legs up in my stomach.

I was asked to do that one time by a doctor who ran a medical practice in KC specializing in men's health. It was the most thorough exam I've ever had, even though I was clothed for most of it.

He had just finished examining my penis and testicles in the prone position and asked me to hop down and face the table, leaving my pants and undershorts around my ankles.

Then he explained how he wanted me to stand and point my toes inward before demonstrating the position himself. He didn't say why, but just assumed it relaxed the sphincter and made his penetration easier. Anyway, it was an unforgettable rectal exam experience.

Never told that.

I never had a rectal exam

No, I've never been asked to point my toes together. After the testicular exam and hernia check, in which I am standing on the step at the base of the table facing the examiner with my boxer briefs pulled down to mid thigh, I am pretty much told to turn around and face the exam table, bend over, resting on your elbows. Nothing is ever said about standing with my feet shoulder width apart or where to point my toes.

Nope, never been asked this.

No this has not happened to me unfortunately..

Not for me. Only been ask to bend over table as far as I could, or if examined on my side to bring knees up as close to my chest as possible.

I wish I was old enough to experience a rectal exam at a real doctor.

I have been asked to bend over several times, have never been aske to point toes together. the doctor generaly spreads the cheeks with one hand and then inserts afinger in the rectum.

I wish I was old enough to experience a rectal exam at a real doctor.

They really aren't anything special. Bit embarassing more than anything. You'll get one eventually, don't worry, especially if you ever go in with a prostate problem or often with constipation.

For now you might want to look for a play doc. They can make them pretty "real" while also being more fun.

May be I am wrong but it seems to me that for a rectal exam for prostate, you are normally not asked to spread your feet and to touch your points ankles.

On the reverse, for a check of the curvatures of the spine at school or draft physical examination or job examinations, I was always required to do to let a doctor check my back.

It could happen also if a doctor wants to check if you had some rushe or any other issuess in the anal area if you are standing and he or she is sitting behind you on a stool

In that case, to let him or her have a good view of the inside of your anal area, you must spread your feet largely if it is not the doctor who does it and touch your feet or ankles
