Penis and balls hanging between legs during rectal exam

I've only had one rectal exam where I was bending over the exam table. All but this spacific rectal exam, I've been on my left side laying on the exam table with my knees bent. For me, I didn't give any thought to my penis or balls hanging down during this exam or any of the others that I've had.

I don't find it embarrassing during play exam - honestly, I love to feel my scrotum and testicles feeling exposed and unprotected in that way...

I don’t find it embarrassing, it’s just part of the exam.

I've recently found the Joy's of having my testicles checked and examined from behind. You can just imagine it. Being on all fours and the doctors hand going between your legs and feeling his hand grab your testicles and start to feel

Something to consider may be the doctor who conducts a posterior view of the overall male genitals,

I have never been in that position however, I have had several laser lithotripsies. After the first I had a string connected to a stent emerging from me penis. While I was in the hospital the doctor had students check the string a few times. So I don't think that I would be embarrassed by any rectal exam position with my balls hanging between my legs.

I now have all female doctors so I don't mind having the doctor check me. I still have an aversion to having a guy playing in there or with my balls. When/if they ask me about doing self ball examinations I try to put on my best dumb face and get them to do it. For some reason I feel having someone who knows what they are doing when they check me beats my own dumb checking. My wife doesn't do her own breast exams for the same reason. The doctor actually knows what she's looking for as opposed to us happening to stumble upon something.

At my age there's nothing hanging down there that would embarrass me, well except for how tiny and wrinkled it is, and I kind of enjoy the female touch.

I would feel very exposed if examined like that. But I’ve only been examined on my side, DRE, visual, anoscope, sigmoidoscopy, enema. No idea how much of my genitals were visible.

I just had a prostate exam a week ago, bent over the table with it all hanging down. Have had several over the years, doesn't bother me at all. Just wish they lasted longer. 😁

I have harvested my patients semen while they are on their back with legs spread so that i can feel how the prostate reacts during an orgasm. I get interesting reactions from the prostate and great reviews from my patients

This is embarrassing but also erotic. I have always laid on my back when my wife had massages my prostate. We have not tried me getting on my hands and knees yet. I guess because I want to watch her massaging and working on me. I would prefer to be in a gyno chair with my legs in stirrups. This way she can get in there deeper and give a better massage!

Last Friday 4th of September I went for physical exam, last one perhaps 10 years ago. Doctor was male in his 50s and female nurse in her early 20s. It all started with usual and was running smooth when I noticed nurse getting the tube of Vaseline out of drawer and doctor telling me to get on exam table on all fours, now that was the first time like this.

Just the sight of Vaseline made me hard, I bet it was rather easy for doctor to find my prostate, but still I found that position very embarrassing.

I would think that it might be rather embarrassing for a host of reasons. The idea of being on my knees, head down, spread wide just seems to demeaning. I have had mine done bending over with legs spread shoulder width and one done turned onto side with knees pulled up to my chest, which exposed my sack somewhat. I don't know which is more embarrassing.

Penis and balls hanging between legs during rectal exam

Where the hell else are they going to be?????

I have always found one of the embarrassing features of having a rectal exam either bent over the table or on the table in the knee-chest position is that the penis and balls are hanging between your legs visible to the examiner.

What's the difference? You have shown your goods to, and had everyone you have had sex with play with your penis and balls. During an exam NOBODY CARES if they show or not. People have had more sex partners than doctors looking at them. I never understood why hiding the genitals was such a big deal unless you have some sort of debilitating deformity or birth defect..

Sniff.... it's so sad to have "John Holmes disease" The ugly truth is out

Why am I laughing? I'm old enough to remember him.

I actually worked with a guy named John Holmes. Locker room observation (only) and he clearly didn’t have the “disease”!

The first few rectal exams I received, beginning when I turned 40, were a bit embarrassing being bent over the table. Now after 15 years with my female doctor it does not bother me at all even with her nurse present during the hernia and rectal exam.

To be perfectly honest, I always do my very best to ensure that my penis and balls are showing. I try not to be too obvious, but I act kind of oblivious to the fact that so much is on display. In fact, I never realized how much COULD be on display. That is, until an inadvertent wardrobe malfunction in my building's laundry room while wearing a too loose pair of shorts. But that's another story.

I would have thought that to be part of the point, that the doc can see any reaction in the penis when palpating the prostate,

and enable access to strip down prostatic fluid if required

At my last examination I was on my side. But I would love this feeling of being mu balls and penis exposed in this way.

This was not a rectal exam per se, but one of my little passing memories about doctor visits that I still think about involves something similar. My brothers and I had some relatively detailed physicals for a couple of different reasons. Anyway, one of the doctors my brothers and I would see sometimes did a pinworm test on us a couple of times. So, there was one time I remember being seated in a chair facing somewhat toward the end of the table. I remember my older brother being on his knees, chest down, and seeing his penis and balls hanging between his legs.

Going to my 50's, I'll soon have to get my first finger probing exam. I really like our female doctor, find her very attractive, but I guess I won't like the whole process and will be rather embarrassed for the whole time. Maybe I'll ask her some general anaesthesia, so that she knows I am not happy of what's going to happen.

I have seen her for very painful hemorrhoids a few months ago, and had to be on all 4 on her examination table. It did not last long but I had just pulled my boxer briefs down far enough for my anus to be visible, but not more, because only the back was lowered.

For the rectal touch, I had planned to wear my jockstrap underwear (only have one so far), so that only the back would be visible, without the 3-part set (as we say in French) visible 😃.

Don't know if I'll do it though, as it may only attract more attention to me - often the best way to hide things is to let them visible. And this kind of underwear looks kind of gay, doesn't it ?

I'm surprised no one mentioned (well, I guess one person did) this jockstrap thing - it's the obvious engineer solution to the problem, with front looking like normal briefs, and behind exposing only the bottom 😃.

I'm too much of an engineer I guess.

No, it doesn't bother me that my penis and scrotum are hanging down while I'm ben over the end of the exam table for a prostate exam. It is very quick and the doctor is standing up behind me so he can't really see anything hanging down between my legs. I can't remember the last time a doctor did a hernia check on me but it has to be 50 years at least, maybe even back in high school when the doctro did a quick sports physical on us boys going out for football. We were lined up in the gym in our underwear and had to pull them down for the hernia check.

Only one doctor, my former urologist, ever did a check of my penis by pulling the foreskin half way back and he did roll each testicle in his fingers to check them. But no hernia check was done by him. Now my family doctor doesn't want to do a digital rectal exam of my prostate. He says if he found something he would have to send me to a specialist and get an ultrasound or biopsy. It's like I'm older so just forget about it and take a chance that I don't get prostate cancer and die.

@JakeNewYork How old were you and your brother at this exam?

Get a new doctor. Your current doc doesn’t seem very responsible. There’s a point where you have to decide which will get you first, the cancer or old age. I’d want to know how aggressive the cancer was versus a crap shoot before making that decision.

Talk about a time when hanging balls backfired. The day before yesterday I was in the hospital to have markers placed in my prostate. This is so the beam radiation machine can be properly aligned.

I was brought on the operating table and knocked out. When I awoke I had a sever burning in my scrotum. I found out to do the procedure they taped my scrotum and my penis out of the way as they went in through the perineum.

When they removed the tape they tore the skin of my scrotum. I now have two places, one on each side that are raw and bleeding.

I have been treating it with antiseptic cream and some of my wife’s pads. It’s hard to sit, stand, or walk. I get some relief laying in bed with my knees bent.

Be careful what you wish for. It’s not always to the advantage.

Ouch! You must have pissed off the nurse. 😮

When I was in the military I learned the hard way NOT to piss off the head nurse. But that's another story.

My doctor had a female intern practice on me. I essentially got two hernia and two rectal exams at the same visit. It prolonged the time I spent bent over the table with my balls hanging down...
