Men: When your Doc gives you a DRE, does your dick kind of twitch a bit?

Mine does.

Not anymore. Too many in my past and future to care anymore.

I don't know if twitch is the right word. But I would say that I start to get that nice tingly feeling between my legs.

When she bears down on my prostate, I get an erection and leak clear fluid. But I can't say I've ever twitched down there. Perhaps she's not pushing her finger up in the right place to make me twitch.

The first few DRE's that I received, my dick did twitch when the doctor snapped on the gloves and throughout the quick exam.

I don't know if twitch is the right word but putting pressure on my prostate causes a tingling sensation. it's a nice sensation.

Yes, it did.

But kind of an unusual exam for me. Went in because of irritation of the urethra. She put me in the stirrups and massaged my prostate fairly aggressively until she expressed some fluid to culture. She then "stripped" my penis to deposit the fluid onto the slide her assistant was holding.

Most of the recital exams I have had were very brief and the examiner did not push his finger deep into the anus, so I did not get any sensation through my penis. I had one examiner put me in the Simms position and push his finger quite deeply and forcefully into my anus, push aggressively on the prostate so that I could feel exactly which area of the gland he was palpating-left, center, and right-and then rotate his finger 180 degrees around my anus. When he was on the prostate I could definitely feel a sensation throughout my penis.

These days I always get a tingling sensation and sometimes my penis grows a little/ becomes slightly firm.

I first had a DRE from a doc at college and immediately sported a full erection. That continued with each DRE until I reached about age 25.

I know realise how unusual it was for my doc to be carrying out DREs on a healthy guy in his early 20s. It just seemed to be standard practice with all adult males for the doc I saw. I found I enjoyed them so certainly wasn't about to complain.

I haven't had one yet but I suspect I might get an erection because I do enjoy anal stimulation.

Can't say that I ever twitch but a few times if I was feeling a little horny before the exam I did swell a little bit during the exam. Not a lot and I'm not sure if my doc could even notice a change but I could feel my dick starting to get just a little thicker. Its only happened 2 or 3 times. Because I do enjoy it I really have to focus on not focusing on it or I'm pretty sure I would start to get hard to the point my doc would notice.

When I was in my 20's, I'd say yes, my dick did twitch. Now that I'm in my 60's, not so much. What DID get my attention, was a DRE by a urologist two years ago while undergoing evaluation of an elevated PSA number. He pushed on my prostate so well, my dick did feel it in the tip as an "electrical" surge; I still felt that prostate palpation the next day!

GPs don't seem to do the DRE very well in my opinion-more like a "wave' feel than actual pressure on the gland. Most won't even do a 360 wipe inside the anus anymore.

Well phrased. Twitch for sure! I'm 66 and have been having DRE since age 23. Wave is also a good expression of the feeling experienced, but definitely a twitch!

As I said, no twitching anymore, but I love that special feeling that comes from deep inside right to the tip of my dick.

No question about it. I am so sensitive in that area. I just recently had it done and it was wonderful.

I do feel it right through to my dick. I am bent over the exam table so I really can't see if it pops up a little bit but it feels like it does. I mentioned on another topic thread that the exam rooms always seem to be on the cold side so that kind of reduces the chance for an erection or partial erection. So if I am really flaccid it may not have much of a visible twitch.

I usually start to get a little thicker when I have to bend over the table. By the time he inserts his finger, I can feel the sensation to the tip of my penis and oozing pre-cum.

I would not worry about it getting hard. I am sure the doctor has seen it before any number of times.

Not really a twitch in my dick but there is definitely an intense feeling.

The thing I liken it to is an electric shock. It's the same sort of tingle and immediate tension that is beyond my control. Just a second or maybe two.

No, but its definitely aware.....

I'm usually getting a little hard after the genital exam so I do get harder during the DRE. I can't say it twitches. My prostate sometimes spasms afterward.

It's been a long time since I had one. He used two fingers and went in pretty fast. Probed for about 5 seconds or so. And pulled out quickly. I remember feeling a stimulation in me penis and I know it drooled some pre-cum.

The peculiar (and exciting) thing was that he had me lay my chest on the exam table with my head to the side and my arms dangling at the elbow.

Yep! cant help it!! HAve gotten completely hard too.

Somehow yes

Absolutely not. It's business not pleasure. When I was younger sometimes afterwards I would have an erotic fantasy but not now. Having done hundreds of DREs when I was in practice it's not an erotic moment.

It doesn't have to be psychological arousal, many times it's physiological. The nerves to the penis run through and around the prostate and the nerves to the anus share pathways and reflexes with the genitals.

I had a physical last week and my Doctor explained that a DRE was no longer needed. Said they have decided that they weren't extremely reliable and no longer necessary.

Bullshit. They'd rather rely on technology that's rife with false positives and negatives leading to expensive and invasive biopsies.

For me, the DRE by my doctor is so brief, I wonder how she even has time to feel around for any unusual growths. I rely on a massage therapist I go to who does a very through prostate examination and milking. She feels for size and texture for a good five minutes or so, then forces me to ejaculate while her finger rests on the prostate. As she feels the prostate contract just before orgasm, she presses gently to force as much fluid out as possible.

When he did DRE on me he was so fast that I had no time to react. I wish he had given me more time, both because I didn't think he was thorough and because it felt good. Now he doesn't do them at all either due to my age or maybe to current medical practice .
