Most embarrassing age

@MotherLauraSpain when I grew up there were no female pediatricians, so that was not an issue for boys. For the girls, however, I wonder whether the embarrassment was as much as it might be today as attitudes about exposure in a medical setting was different and female pediatricians were not an option.

Most embarrassing was 16 because it was the first real physical where pediatrician made me undress to underwear and I had an erection the entire time. He had the first “check your testicles“ talk with me and then examined me.

I was around 12 and just spouting hair awaiting for my Pre-HS physical in front on my male doctor. I was made to remove my gown and he inspected my penis and ball's with “ gloved hands ”.

I DID get an erection.

I think between 11-13. You are old enough to have more self-consciousness and shyness, but young enough that you still get treated like a child and aren't afforded full privacy. It's also the age where the doctor is more likely to focus on your genitals because you are starting puberty and getting hair, etc.

Surely during adolescent age (14 - 18 years old), the Doctor patient age gap, just a few or none sexual experience for the patient, first time the patient experience the Doctor's authority.

Another time at 12 yrs at a tailor being fitted for a suit I had to strip naked for some reason and the tailor took all kind of measurements with lots of attention to my crotch area causing me to get a wicked hardon ! Thankfully mom wasn’t there,only 4 blocks from my house.

For me it was 14 as its when my breasts developed fully

For me it was when I was sixteen, going to work part time I needed a work physical. They sent me to a specific clinic where a nurse and physician were both female. his physical included heart eye some bending and a hernia exam. I had only a short gown on that was then open in front as I laid on the table. So both saw my genitals. I was embarrassed because I only had just the beginnings of pubic hair growth. Both told me to relax and I said it was hard because I felt underdeveloped for my age.

I was taking an employment physical at Raytheon where I was led into a room, told to strip naked, sit on the table and someone would be in to examine me. I never knew if it would be a doctor but assumed it would be. After about 20 minutes of sitting there naked wondering when/what was going to happen this very unattractive middle aged female came in and did all the honors. She finally got down to my balls and felt them over. I was rather embarrassed as soon as she entered the room and until she left. I don't think it had anything to do with age because this was after I got out of the army where I was seen naked many times. One time by a beautiful young girl who massaged my back while I was sitting naked in a whirlpool bath. She gave me a wicked hardon which gave us both a chuckle every time she stared it in it's single eye when she bent over to reach my lower back with her chin resting on my shoulder. That was mostly funny, not embarrassing so why the woman examiner embarrassed me I don't know except that she never introduced herself so I didn't know if she was a nurse, doctor, typist/clerk or just some older woman from the office who liked examining naked young men.

That's the only time I was embarrassed at an exam. I think my current female doctor was too embarrassed to ask me to disrobe until I mentioned it didn't feel like a physical when she only saw me with my clothes on.

Age 13. It was my first exam after puberty started. I knew my body was changing. My pubic hair had started to grow in and I was getting erections all the time.

I was also (like most boys my age) very shy about my body. During PE class in school, it was supposedly mandatory that we change into jock straps. When I got the instruction sheet in the first day of junior high, I remember going to the store and buying my first jock strap. I tried it on when I got home. I felt very grown up but also terribly exposed.

In the changing room at school, I quickly discovered that not a single boy changed into a jock strap. I could tolerate letting other boys see my underwear when I changed from pants into PE shorts, but I could not bring myself to let them see me naked.

The idea of any female seeing me in my underwear was unimaginable.

When I had my physical at age 13, I had to take everything off except for my underwear and, of course, my doctor was female. It was humiliating. I've mentioned in other posts that I was able to keep my penis under control until she began to palpate my lower abdomen. As her fingers began to reach under the elastic waist of my briefs, my penis began to come to life. Only a few moments later, she pulled down my briefs and had me exposed with a completely full erection. I felt so embarrassed, immature and powerless.

For me it was my early teen years. Sexually naive couples with uncontrollable erections made for very embarrassing exams.

For me it was the years before and after puberty. I always got an erection during the genital exam, and I was old enough to be aware that it was a bit awkward but too young yet to understand the physiology of it or that it was completely beyond my control and nothing to be ashamed of.

Honestly none of them seemed that way. All were equally exposing.

Definetely during 13 and 16. Body changed, i begegne aware my body and sexual interested. I basically had a Boner all the Time

I HATED being a teenager. The hormones, new to getting a period, getting hips, getting big breasts made me this anxious mess. Having a doctor AND a parent in the exam room was hell. I just didn't want anyone touching or looking at me.

I have replied in the past but this time, I would like to suggest that while I began to feel embarrassed between the ages of 11 - 14, it was surely due to the onset of puberty. I think I began in earnest by late 12 years of age. I didn't get more body hair until 14 but prior to that I was having erections. They happened spontaneously and during my sleep as ejaculations confirmed I was a teenage male. Going for a physical was now a mix of nervous anticipation and a sense of embarrassment as the notion of having an erection became rather real.

Here is my thought for you to ponder. My doctor required a rectal temp for every exam no matter what the occasion. At first, it was routine to have me lay down on my belly and have the nurse lower my briefs to my knees for the procedure. A parent was often present. I would just bury my face and try to ignore that it was taking place while her hand rested on my butt.

By the time I was around 12ish, the process of having my temp taken in this position resulted in getting erect. This continued as I turned 13 with the same result and some leaking. I didn't realize then that this may have been a precursor to precum. Surely my body felt aroused. I am wondering if the doctor did so to determine if I was developing normally?

While I had no idea that the RT pressing inside me was stimulating a response, I now questioning if this was just to get an accurate temperature recording? Subsequent exams resulted in me either laying on my side or leaning onto the table for my temp as well as other aspects of the exam. Having an erection was not limited to my RT but occurred during the genital examination as well. Still, the first time seemed to be linked to getting my temp taken. I have heard from others on Zity that a RT does have this affect, especially for play, and am curious if others relate it to when you were younger or during exams?

Thanks.

For a girl probably 10 I think

I’ve posted before in other discussions which means to be literal I don’t know the answer as I didn’t have any examinations as a young person.

But yes, any aspect of bodily functions around 14 to 16 were highly embarrassing and I am sure has driven my subsequent interest in related matters.

Awkward erections that wouldn’t subside, attracted to girls, wet dreams, first orgasms, changing rooms after sport at school etc etc etc.

A veritable list of horrors for the unsure, ignorant and bashful teenager.

For me it was my sixth grade sports physical. I had an early puberty and remember my hairy legs and full bush on display during the genital exam.

All my teen years.

As a young person, I thought all these feelings, anxiety, embarrassment, fear, excitement, were unique to me. I was ashamed but I also couldn't stop thinking about what the doctor was doing to me. I did have a sort of partner in crime when my BFF and I would play together, but that was, again, mainly me as the "patient".

I will echo what others have posted. Age 12 and 13 were easily the most embarrassing because I was starting to develop and didn't understand what was happening and why I was having erections like I was. My little dick, much to my embarrassment, was at full attention when the doctor examined it at that stage in life.

For me it was 11. My breasts were starting to develop but I was not allowed a gown at that age, so I was only in panties and a bra, but I had to remove my bra for the doctor to listen to my heart and had it off for the rest of the exam. It was the first year that he spread my labia, so that was mortifying, especially since I was nude by that part of the exam and had no privacy from family members.

Anytime during adolescence

I would have to say starting in my teen years as I was a late bloomer. I didn’t get breast or my period until I was 14 plus I was extremely shy as a teen. I dreaded having to go to my pediatrician during my teen years

I was a very late in development, not having pubic hair starting until 16. So I was very shy with others my age especially the teenage girls who were mostly very developed. I also did not like the pediatrician since I was nervous knowing I had to go and was not sure how much the nurse would tell me to disrobe. Also if I was at all getting sick my mom took me to a retired nurse at her home for an enema at which time I was totally nude and embarrassed for sure.

For me personally, it's 10-11 years. Because at this age I needed an examination of the intestines and a rectal examination. I considered myself old enough. My family and doctors, on the contrary, are still a small child. That is why they did not bother with delicacy and attempts to protect me from prying eyes. On the contrary, I was a desirable model for demonstrating to medical students unusual illnesses in children.

Speaking from experiance, for me was 12-13. When all the puberty chnages happened.

The most embarrassing age for me was the late pre puberty and then during puberty age. The body changes a lot and you dont really want to show it

I think many people agree?

A

Ge 11 to 12 gor me

I think many people agree?

I definitely agree. It is just a very weird time and you have to come to grip with all the changes in your body and everything the goes along with it. So it really isn't "easy" when it comes to having a physical exam.
