Most embarrassing age

Favoritepatient,

Can you tell us about your exam? What exactly happened? What position were you in for your genital exam? Were you embarrassed?

Any age can be embarrassing for an exam ... you might start to get used to stripping down for a doctor but the visits also kind of get more detailed with age

I would have to say one of the most embarrassing physical exams I had was age 21 over winter break my final year in college. I had not had an exam for almost 2 years and my parents insisted I visit my pediatrician's office which at the time was advertising adolescent health services for "young adults." I drove myself to the office and arrived 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Being in the office brought back so many uncomfortable/awkward memories throughout the years. I sat in the waiting room stirring in my seat anxiously waiting to be seen. After 40 or so minutes my childhood pediatrician appeared in the doorway to the waiting room calling me back. She acted excited to see me and escorted me down the corridor all the way to the very back of the office. She ushered me into a small exam room and to my pleasant surprise informed me that my exam would be with her colleague Dr. Burns. Unlike the other rooms I had been seen in over the years this exam room did not have any windows and did not have any cartoons on the walls. It had the same white linoleum flooring but dark blue walls and felt much more sterile. The cabinets were on the back wall directly across from the door and the exam table was on the right hand side. There was a single "guest chair" across from the exam table. I removed my coat and placed it over the back of the chair and sat on the table in my white sneakers blue jeans and black t shirt. Within a few minutes Dr. Burns (an older maybe late 50s) woman walked in wearing a flannel gray dress and sweater. She was average height thin and had a rigidness about her not to mention was very firm in her tone. "Hello David I see we are here for our annual checkup today Is that correct?" I nodded. "I apologize for the wait. If you step down from the table we can get started right away." I eased off the bed and walked a few feet towards her. She ushered me over to the scale in the back corner of the room adjacent to the cabinet. Her hand guided my back forward and I stepped up. "Just a second" "How do you expect us to get an accurate weight if your shoes are on?" I stepped back and cautiously kicked off my sneakers and placed them off to the side. "175 pounds and 6 feet one inch. We are perfectly healthy for our age." "Remove your shirt for me" I lifted my black t shirt over my head and handed it to Dr. Burns. She walked over to the chair and casually draped it over my jacket and then walked behind the chair and pushed it across the room placing it alongside the examining table. "Please have a seat on the table." I hopped up and Dr. Burns checked my eyes and ears with the otoscope as well as my throat. She didn't engage in the small talk I was accustomed to with my pediatrician. She was friendly but all business. Her cold bare hands manipulated my thyroid, throat and neck and then pressed into my sweaty underarms briefly. She proceeded to stethoscope my chest and abdomen. "Lean forward" I could feel her pressing the bell into my back as I leaned over with my head bowing over the table towards the floor. She methodically moved the bell of her stethoscope to various parts of my back "deep breath...nice and deep...and again...and again...ok sit up." Interestingly unlike my pediatrician she did not stop at any point to take notes in my chart or ask me my history. She walked over to the cabinet and pulled out a vinyl pillow and blood pressure cuff. She placed the pillow at the top of the bed and proceeded to wrap my arm in the cuff. In a few seconds I felt intense pressure gripping my bicep "120 over 80" "you can lay back flat and relax". I rested my head on the pillow. "Ok David I need your arms behind your head for this part of the exam" I nervously complied. Dr. Burns palpated my underarms feeling the hair distribution. "At what age did we notice all of this hair" I muttered "14 or 15". "Just under our arms or anywhere else?" I blushed as I felt her moved inward towards my chest and then down to my abdomen. I froze as she repeated the question "just under our arms?" I mumbled "no." "hmm that's what I thought." She unbuckled my jeans button and I could hear the zipper being pulled lower. I looked down and noticed my pants were flapped open and could visibly see my charcoal gray underpants showing through. "What about down here?" I shrugged. She gently lowered the waistband of my briefs to the base of my penis "when did we notice all of this?" "maybe 14" I replied. Dr. Burns walked down to the footrest of the table and extended it all the way. "That is good to know" She tugged off my socks and pulled my jeans down off my legs placing them on the chair. Using both hands she lifted my left leg into the air placing it upright and then my right leg up in the air placing it upright as well. Her fingers gripped my quads as her her thumbs pressed firmly and authoritatively into my inner thighs and groin. "David please lift your hips up has high as you can for me." I sheepishly complied and thrust my hips up in the air. Dr. Burns lifted up my gray Hanes briefs and glided them down over my knees. She swiftly pulled the fabric bunched up in my groin outward and away from my body continuing to slide them down over my shins and around my ankles. Her swiftness and skillfulness made it apparent she was a pro at this act and exposing young males. I felt the cold air rush through my exposed groin and felt a sense of excitement but also helplessness. Dr. Burns locked her eyes between my legs staring intently at my exposed private parts. I shifted my glance between her and the ceiling several times but she was so focused between my legs she didn't notice. I began to get chills thinking of all the guys who went through the same experience as I in this very room on this very same table. She began pressing firmly into my knees straightening out my legs. I could feel my face burning still staring up at the ceiling. Her delicate hands gently glided from my ankles up my thighs gripping my hips. She proceeded to push firmly into my lower abdomen below my belly button with her left hand while she used her right hand to glide between my legs cupping my scrotum. It was such an out of body experience laying completely nude on the examining table. Dr. Burns didn't say a word as she once again kneaded into my inner thighs manipulating my testicles, pushing into my pubic region working her thumb and index finger along my shaft, gently squeezing my glans. I managed not to get hard throughout the exam but could feel my dick stirring. She stepped away returning with plastic oval shaped beads. I lifted my head and watched as she compared various sizes to my own testicles. Using her bare hands she spread open my slit briefly and and inspected my tip using the light from her otoscope. This was the straw that broke the came's back. My dick was now hard as a rock pointed straight at the ceiling. Dr. Burns walked away from the table placing and placed the beads in the sink and pulled a glass jar out of the cabinet. "David we are going to take a few minute break if you don't mind. I am almost finished with your examination but I need to step out of the room for just a moment." She excused her self as I sat there in total horror. I was so embarrassed and tempted to put my underwear back on but the exam wasn't over and I would look ridiculous with a massive tent in my underpants. I tried to cover myself with my hands as I heard footsteps approaching. The door swung open and Dr. Burns returned apologizing for her stepping out. "I need you to come over to the counter and sign this form for your insurance please" I approached and signed. "Thank You we are running behind and the front desk asked if I could have you sign this so they don't have to stay late" My insides started to tingle the thought I was all alone in the medical office completely naked. "Hands at your side" Dr. Burns got down on her knees eye level with my leaking glans. "This may be a little uncomfortable David so just bear with me" Her index finger pushed deep into my right inguinal canal "cough...cough...and again" "ok now deep breath" her index finger shifted to my left inguinal canal "cough...cough...good" she grasped my ball sack in her hand while staring at my genitals. "Just fill this glass jar and you are on your way." Dr. Burns walked out and I peed in the jar. I was shaken by the whole experience. I fumbled to get dressed and stumbled my way up to the front desk. I left the sample on the counter and made a dash for the door. This was the last time I ever showed my face in that office.

Around 11 when I started getting erections and as fate would have it often occurred when I was at the doctors. What made it worse was my sister was often with me and would tease me to make me go erect which she knew I hated especially in front of a female nurse or doctor.

For me it was the exam to play high school sports. My mom was not able to take me so a family friend took me and it got very embarrassing very quickly. If you want to know more send me a message.

Definitely during puberty. Before I was like 12 I really didn't care but once my body started changing a strong feeling of modesty kicked in.

11-15 for me. I was frequently the oldest patient there, surrounded by babies and kids in pushchairs.

I had periodical follow-ups after my bowel surgery and hadn't had one from age 8-11.

At age 8 I was weighed with just my shoes off, but at 11 they wanted me to undress to my underpants and vest (and I wasn't wearing a vest). I felt like they were treating me like a five-year-old and they didn't seem to appreciate that older patients might want more modesty.

I had regular physicals until I was 10 or so, and I really hated them and getting my genitals examined, but I lived. Thankfully though our insurance switched and when I was 11 I got a family doctor instead of a pediatrician who didn’t insist on regular physicals. I didn’t know that it wasn’t going to be a thing any more, though.. so I remember my 11th and 12th birthdays rolling around and being beyond terrified I would have to be examined naked by this new doctor. The fear then was soooo much greater once I began to grow pubic hair and I got breast buds. I had to get required shots for middle school when I was 12, and most of the kids at school got full physicals with them so I was petrified.

For me personally the most embarrassing physical I had was when my brother and I visited a new male doctor. The took our weight, height and BP fully clothed. I was feeling confident that my brother and I would not have to disrobe. The doctor comes in and says 'Since this is the first time I am examining your sons I will need to strip to the skin' My mother chimes in and says 'you mean naked. Quick as a shot she began stripping my brother naked. I realized that was going to be me in a few seconds. I dropped my clothes one piece at a time onto the chair . We were both examined completely naked.

After we left my mother teased me endlessly about being naked in front of her.

I'd say start of puberty to middle of high school so like 16. I didn't make my appointments myself and if I had a genital exam it always was when I ended up with a male doctor that time. This only happened once or twice though. I grew to be less embarrassed about women seeing me nude so since I get to make appointments decided not to go with a male doc whenever possible. Since then there have been times in urgent care where I couldn't make the decision but thankfully ended up with women anyways. Even if I don't always undress I grew to find them more caring and concerned about my issues. For me embarrassing moments might still happen with them but I feel a little more excited anyways so that helps.

Like most others I would say my adolescent years certainly seemed the most awkward time to visit the doctor. My pediatrician was a great doctor and really tried his best to get me to relax during those dreaded annual physicals.

I feel that 11 to 16 is the most embarrassing age because i was developing so much and changing when I went for physicals I was awkward and then like to go.

For me personally, it was at 13 when I was acutely aware of my awkwardness. There was a particular incident at a doctors when my mother had taken me because of a lump of my scrotum. So I had my mother and a female doctor both discussing my balls. I was laying on the exam table, pants down and the doc touching me. While moving my penis aside to shine light onto my balls, I started to get hard. "I cant stop it" I shouted. They both laughed.

When I was a teenager I would do everything in my power to not have to go see my family doctor. 😕 😜 Not that he was a bad doctor or anything - I loved him! I just was becoming hyperaware of my body, I felt awkward and didn’t want anyone examining me at that time. It was a weird mix of emotions, because even as a teenager I knew I had a thing for medical stuff. 😜

I think when i was 13, puberty startet, startet getting erections. My penis and scrotom got bigger.

I would say around 12 when I started puberty and my breasts got bigger, I was reluctant to take my shirt off..

At 16y.o. group exam for football freshman year h.s. in med. room with nurse present at door to room with seated doctor doing balls exam with pants and UNDERPANTS down to floor. 51 years ago but still embedded in my memory. Myself undergoing this procedure and experience surrounded by total strangers medical and perspective teammates also. Of course as far as teammates ,full lockeroom nudity was soon to begin when undressing,showering etc. Fretter

From 11 to 14, puberty time

In addition to the fact that my mother constantly checked when I was bathing and took me to the doctor for examinations due to difficult skin pulling, one of the most unpleasant situations was when I was 12 and went to my grandmother in the countryside, I climbed a tree and picked cherries meanwhile the branch broke and I fell and peeled the skin around my groin, at that moment my older neighbor about 50 years old came and quickly took me to my grandmother's house and took me to the bathroom to wash the wound, I was completely naked because the wound was in an awkward place, my neighbor and grandmother were there, I was very uncomfortable because of the spontaneous erection I experienced.

For me it was around 9 ... it happened when my pediatrician pulled down my underwear till my thighs. My hands automatically covered my little penis which was about to bloom.

Though I find it erotic and cute now but was really embarrassed then.

Definitely pre-teens

For boys born1950 on I'd say age 9--12 was a most embarrassing time to be seen naked/bare butt. For either butt shots/enemas/exams/and 8th--9th grade school gym showering. By 10th grade the worst of it was mostly gone--but a tad of being uncomfortable with it remained.

9th grade through college

Preteen to teen. Your body is changing and a lot of kids have parents that don’t understand things to help there child understand.

Early teens. Genital exams by female doctor and parents present in the room. Very embarrassing especially when they discuss my development.

The most embarrassing ages for me were probably 13-15 since I was going through puberty and my parents were in the exam room when I had my genital exam. I got an erection when the doctor was examining me and this was especially embarrassing since my parents had never seen me with an erection before.

I'd say 14-22 were the most embarrassing ages for me. At the lower end of that range, I was getting erections during my annual physical. Fortunately my doctor was a woman (less mortifying, more arousing, but still - very embarrassing). With a male doc maybe I wouldn't have? Who knows.

And then at the upper end of the range, it took me that long to stop being self-conscious about how easily I'd get erect when with a girl, and how erect I'd get. I'm talking about when we were naked together. But I wished I could be cooler about it and “present” in my relaxed state initially.

I still can't. I still get hard immediately when with someone new. But now I'm not quite as self-conscious about it!

11 to 14 age group

I have always said between 13-15. Once puberty fully set in the embarrassment level somewhat tapered off.

Definitely late adolescence and early teenage years. Not wanting anyone else to see your body as changes occur and you’re really self-conscious about everything.
