Most embarrassing age

I'd probably say after puberty started to hit that I was the most self conscious of my body, I was a chubby kid (and still am pretty big), and got bullied a lot, so I was afraid of people seeing me without much on. That being said I did recognize that there were situations where I had to be undressed, like at the doctor's or for PE class, and a part of me actually got a thrill out of doing so, but I was too ashamed of myself it really admit it. These days that body shame has disappeared thankfully.

The worst age for a medical exam for me was when my body began to change from child to man. I already had hair in the genital area, but my penis had not grown enough or so I thought. And I was very embarrassed that the doctor saw my genitals, especially since I was a woman and I was afraid of having an erection of my little penis.

I think that you might wish to edit the post as i think a translator might have let you down or there's a typo here. Shouldn't it be:

' the doctor saw my genitals, especially since the doctor/she was a woman and I was afraid of having an erection of my little penis.'

That would make more sense.

Certainly during my teens.

Anywhere from age 10 to 15. I didn't start puberty until 15, while all my friends had started around 10 to 12. What was even worse was that looking very young meant you were treated like you were very young.

It was most embarrassing during my teens.

For me it was when i was under 20 and in the periode after i did give birth

For me it was I entered puberty. So in gym starting in the seventh grade was when I started to become embarrassed. Because I was dealing with my sexuality and I was interested in guys but also girls. Most of the guys in grades 7-9 were all white males and cut. I had not seen an uncircumcised Penis other than my dads. In high school, most of the guys ere white but we had a few black males and a few were larger than white boys and one or two uncut. I was still embarrassed through high school. When I got into college, my shyness started to decline, most adult men though were cut but I saw a few more uncircumcised men at the college locker room and also at the YMCA locker room, too.

Maybe 13-17, I hated going to pediatrician

I was most ashamed when I was 15-18 years old. I felt almost adult at the time and it seemed to me that a nude study and some medical treatments like an enema were something very childish.

This is a popular topic when it comes to recreating exams. Like many other topics, results will vary but from my experience, pediatric and adolescent/preadolescent exams make the top of the list. For some, yearly exams as a child bring back terrifying memories that can now be used for pleasure. Waiting in the waiting room knowing that you will eventually be stripped, genitals, bottom spread open and maybe gently probed then discussed with your parent as you lay helplessly exposed.

The other dynamic being the first 'big girl' exam where a simple sliding down of the panties and a brief spread of the labia will no longer do. This time your genitalia are the focus of examination and are meticulously spread open with the doctors fingers, then a speculum inserted. Maybe the onset of puberty and your approaching period from the discharge in your panties is discussed with your mom/parent like you aren't even there.

It's funny how these emotional roller-coasters can end up being something you want to recreate.

I would say 10-14.....

I actually looked forward more and more each year to the "embarrassment" of my pre-adolescent, puberty, and teen physicals. Embarrassment usually connotes something unpleasant, but sometimes it's "enjoyable embarrassment". Like @Dr Letslook I too fidgeted as I sat in the waiting room "knowing that I will eventually be stripped", but I was fidgeting because I saw the twinkle in my mom's eyes and the smile on her face as she looked at me (still fully clothed, of course) and she would glance down at my pubic area and I got excited at her look of eager anticipation and I could hardly wait until I was to be stripped naked in front of her and she would get to see my bare penis and testicles. I could hardly wait for the nurse to call our name and take us into the exam room and her telling me that it's required that I remove all clothing except underpants. I loved the look on mom's face when the clothes came off and she would stare at my boy bulge. How I wanted the nurse to tell me to remove the underpants too (or better yet, to tell my mom to strip them off me), and once I even asked the nurse if it wouldn't just make it easier for the doc if I would strip completely naked for the whole exam, but she didn't go along with it (although I got aroused when she said "the doctor will be removing the underpants when the time comes for your boy parts to be examined"). Fortunately, my wish came true at each physical, and definitely the most "pleasantly embarrassing" part each year was when mom got to enjoy (and from her body language and the delicious look on her face she enjoyed it immensely, which is why I enjoyed it so immensely!) seeing me stripped naked and the doc examining and handling my testicles and penis (always in that order). And the most "enjoyably embarrassing" of all was my "puberty physical", when mom got to see my newly sprouting pubic hair and my penis got so aroused and erect that when the doc finished rolling my testicles around in his hand and then started to palpate the penis mom excitedly asked the doc if it was "normal for his penis to stick up just from being examined". I was so emotionally and sexually aroused that one more look at mom's loving expression brought me over the edge and my penis squirted some semen. I was so delighted to see the look of absolute joy on mom's face as the semen was squirting from her beloved son's erect and twitching penis.

@nebag, I like the term you've used "enjoyable embarrassment" as I think that term sums up the way that many things were embarrassing for us but we secretly enjoyed them. In my case, when a group of girls seen us as a group stripped to our boxers on the way from the changing room to the gym (which I've already mentioned in this thread) and wolf whistled which gave me a hard on before I even went in, and also the time during the genital exam when I had a full on hard on in front of an attractive female doctor.

@nebag I can imagine the feeling in the pit of your stomach as your pubescent penis erected in front of your mother. She could see very closely,every little bulge, vein along its length. Your penis would be throbbing, so, close to an orgasm. I would love to be there and observe your mother as your squirted your thin, ejaculate in front of her.

I would also expect apart from your deep embarrassment, a feeling of pubescent pride as you could demonstrate to your mother, your ability to expel semen.

I would like to think your mother would want to see more of this, and following instruction from your Dr, he would tell her to watch you at home, every time you ejaculate. If you resisted,maybe because your penis was tender from excessive masturbation, her instruction would be to masturbate you herself, to observe the volume and consistency of your ejaculate.

I do not believe there is such thing as the most embarrassing age to have a physical exam, because at any age physical/medical exam can be embarrassing. But then again on the other hand certain aspects can be embarrassing for one but not other person. Young kids most likely do not have physical exams, now for teenagers can be embarrassing to have genital/breast exams. And for adults yet more parts are being added: such as prostate/rectal for guys and gynecologic exam for girls. Again some people might be very embarrasses to be in front of doctor and/or nurse answer questions about their health/personal habits life rather than yo have physical exam itself.

Thank you @belkinian for your thoughts! Yes, it was wonderful watching the look of joy on mom's face as I saw her eyes taking in the sight of my pubescent penis sticking straight up in the air, the newly sprouted hair right above the penis, and my now even more easy for her to see (because my penis was so erect) testicles. She was ecsatatic at she beheld the semen squirting from my erect penis. I guess I did feel "pubescent pride" at now having hair above my penis and being able to squirt semen, but my overriding emotion was the joy it brought me to give joy to my beloved mom, who centered her life around taking care of me and making me happy. All through childhood and adolescence I didn't really understand why mom seemed to get so much enjoyment from seeing me naked (and still don't fully understand it even now, I guess because I'm not a mother), but it was obvious that she DID immensely enjoy seeing my nude male body, and so it gave ME joy to give her that happiness. I knew from the year before that she was looking forward to seeing hair above my penis from the question she asked the doc at that exam. So I was delighted that I could finally bring her the joy of seeing me with pubic hair. I had less of an understanding at the time of what it means when a boy's penis sticks up or exactly what ejaculation was, but just knew that it felt awesome, and that awesome feeling was accentuated by the fact that mom looked thrilled to see my penis sticking up and was even more thrilled when semen came spurting out. I would have loved for mom to strip and masturbate me at home, but alas that never happened. As I've written about before, I did strip completely naked for her at home one day when I had the chance and was delighted that she greatly enjoyed my "naked parade" and that she got great satisfaction from the fact that I voluntarily stripped for her and gave her a much longer and more extensive look at my hairy genitals.

I would agree with most of the posts here that it was most embarrassing during puberty, just knowing the Doctor (female) was going to look down there was really embarrassing for me

It's remarkable how most of us identify the middle adolescent period as the most challenging time. The prepubescent time was just awkward given that my parent could be in the room as I was examined. The notion of any control over what happened was not a consideration. Anxiety and fear of shots tended to be the obvious concern.

Once I began to develop, the awareness of bodily changes and "morning wood," which a friend had to inform me about, all seemed to be a mix of curiosity and relief. Wet dreams and masturbation began in earnest and so to did thinking of my exams in ways that caused arousal. Yet, it was way to early to consider it more than just excitement. On any exam day, I would experience shrinkage as I was undressed. Hearing that I had to remove my briefs, not lower them, did little to calm my nerves. I now feared the development of an erection during my temperature taking or while the doctor conducted my genital exam. Fear never dampened down arousal. The snap of his glove and my naked body crunching the exam paper was all I needed to feel uneasy and likely react. It seemed like an eternity as he held my penis or examined my scrotum while asking if I had any issues. Having to then stand in front of him felt like total surrender. I often felt semi to erect by then and didn't quite become relaxed as he squeezed each testicle and told me not to worry. "It happens all the time to boys your age." What could I do? The reaction was automatic. For the years that followed until my first

DRE, it seemed inevitable that I would experience a mix of emotions while naked for the doctor. Now older, the associations are keen but there is better control.

I wonder if the same period of time works for females? It will be interesting to hear from them as well.

For me and I would suspect most of us, it was around 11 when I started adolescence until 17 when I started training to be a nurse. Until 11 I had no problems anyone seeing me naked and then I developed body issues and was really shy. When I started training as a nurse I was confronted not only by my nudity but my my patients. It got worse or better when I went to my second hospital and there nurses quarters were co-ed so I had to shower with my colleagues, both male and female.

Yeah i think what tulip described is fairly normal.

When your body changes you feel awkward about it, not used to have puffy little boobs and new hair so more embarrassed. As mid teen, i developed body confidence and it was much less of an issue to be bared.

Probably old age when everything is droopy is the most embarrassing. :-)

But there definitely was an age when I went from exams not being embarrassing at all to being completely embarrassing, and that was when I was in eighth grade at the age of 13.

For me it was between 13 and 17 years old, I had exams for scoliosis.

Several times I found myself naked standing or lying down, the medical staff did not pay attention to my feelings.

It was very embarrassing to feel exposed

For me it would have been about age 12 when I was aware of going through puberty. In addition, I remember getting aroused during abdomen palpation. The doctor was sensitive to my embarrassment however, and he would have me stand toward the wall for the hernia and genital check; I think my mother was still in the room until about age 14.

I would say for me between 13 and 18, going through puberty. My pediatrician sometimes required a parent to be present in the examining room (mostly my dad). It was also embarrassing at 18 going through german musterung but by that time I sort of got used to being seen.

By age 14 was when seeing a doctor became rather embarrassing as the exam required being undressed in order for a breast exam and then an inspection of my vagina and bottom. The anticipation of the exam became more intense as I got older. Also being seen without a parent made it both special and accentuated my nervousness. It was a bit less so with a female doctor yet no guarantee of being partially clothed. In fact, it was usually undress, rectal temp, and exam. My tummy would be unsettled for sure. Seeing a medication vial out on the counter or learning that I was due for some shot just made it all the more distressing. Tears were not exactly automatic but generally occurred when told where the shot would be given. I had the option of having mom come in as if this would help. It only made my self consciousness increase. Once the exam ended and I dressed, there was that feeling of just being emotionally drained and sometimes a sore rear cheek to remind me.

Now I think back and while many of those times have become "special memories," I still feel a tad anxious and realize how magical those words have become. "Let's have you get undressed. Everything off for the doctor." The gown often reveals too much. One knows that all will be seen and probed absent my mom's encouragement, "Be a big girl." I am braver now but still get that shaky feeling when a nurse is holding a syringe and learn that it needs to go in my bottom. Somehow the clenching and jiggle of my bottom is a reminder of what has always been the feeling when told. The gasp upon being jabbed is no different.

Thanks for the question.

Julie,

What position were you in for genital exams? What were you usually wearing under the gown?

Like many here I would agree that it has to be around the early teens/puberty ages - 11-13ish. Already self conscious and modest, the last thing you want is to have someone focusing on your physical development. The clinical context just heightened the inherent awkwardness.

Around 12, because you have very private changes, and you are exposed in front of doctor and mom, if have sister or brother also. And you have to answer questions. it's the most humiliating 20 minutes because you are expossed. Embarrassed but enjoy remembering 😃

I think 14 was my most embarrassing age. I was always a shy kid around adults so when I had to let my pediatrician look at my privates for the first time in 4 years it was very awkward. I was so scared I started preparing weeks before the exam. I wasn’t sure if she need too look at my pubic hair development so I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to shave down there or not. Even though I started shaving down already. I decided to not shave until after the exam so I grew enough hair to “trick” her to think I’m still dumb and naive. I also stop masturbating for a week to get of the evidence of sexual contact. I did this because I afraid my doctor would judge be for being sexually charged and if she found out it would mortifying to me. Now that I’m older I could careless.

For me around 11 or 12 when mom gave me enemas and I got an erection. I tried to hide it but really could not. Then to stand up after holding with an erection was really embarrasing.
