Penis Palpation & Urethral Inspection

How many of you guys have experienced that during the genital part of an exam? Was the doctor male or female? Were you standing or lying down? Were you erect or stayed soft? Was it painful, pleasureable, or insignificant?

I teach these techniques to medical students. We teach it in a semi-recumbent position. It's quick, painless and, frankly, insignificant.

I had this done at my last physical. I recently switched to a male family med PCP and I was at my first annual comprehensive exam with him. As soon as he sat on his stool in front of me I lowered my pants and underwear as he put on his gloves. He started by gently palpating all around my genitals. He began feeling and examining my penis, then testicles and scrotum. He finished with a hernia exam and then had me bend over the exam table for a prostate exam. It was the first time I remember a doctor actually touching and examining my penis during a physical. It was very gentle and subtle, I could barely feel him manipulating my penis. I stayed soft for the entire exam. Not a big deal at the time, but the experience and memory of it is great.

During my exams as a teenager at my pediatrician, he would always open my urethral meatus with his thumbs to look inside. Then, move my penis left, right, up, down inspecting it on all sides before moving his attention to my testicles. I was lying down, and was always completely erect for the duration of the exam.

As part of STI screenings, several doctors have parted my meatus to peer down my urethra. This has been done with my lying down, pants around my knees. The doctor parts the meatus with finger and thumb, shining a light inside. Have always managed to stay soft while this is done. 😉

I had a male Dr do this once. Only took an additional minute but I definitely appreciated the thoroughness of his exam with my most prized possession. And it felt good too.

I’ve only had two exams where my penis was intentionally palpated. The first time was when I changed To my most recent dr. She performed a more detailed exam and felt the shaft of my penis and spread my meatus. She hasn’t don’t that since however 😢. The second time was during a trip to the urologist.

Mine were both lying down and standing up. I've always had a male doctor, even with my school exams, they were always males. I'd much prefer a male doctor than a female.

Every doctor I saw except for my regular one always had their own way of doing the genital exam especially when it came to sticking their hands down in my underwear and exposing me while I laid there like it was no big issue with little or nor warning of doing it which I already enjoyed lol.

Standing up I was always asked to pull my underwear down except for one doc who did it for me. I do remember one time my normal pediatrician pulled the front of my underwear down to do everything but that was only once.

It was always part of my exam. The doctor would always examine my penis. As I was laying down, he would start at the base and work his way up to the head of my penis. Being that I was always erect it was easy for him to palpate my penis from the base and work his way up the shaft of my penis.

The doctor was VERY thorough and felt around my penis and testicles slowly feeling every part of my penis. Although I am circumcised, I have a very sensitive penis and with the Doctor feeling my penis I would ejaculate, as I got older my ejaculation got stronger and would fly out of my penis at times shooting onto my shoulders and above my head or land on my face. The doctor would always flick and/or rub my frenulum, and he at times would open my urethral right before I would ejaculate and my cum would ooz out. There were a few times he would inspect my urethral using a light to look down after I would ejaculate.

That always happened to me at sports physicals. The doc would lower my underwear sometimes when I was standing some times when I was laying down. The inspection was rather quick: retraction of the foreskin, opening the urethra, quick check to the testicles and that was it. Always started flaccid but erections were always about to happen.

With most docs I am able to stay flaccid while they palpate my penis. But my current dermatologist is a handsome older gay man who gets pretty thorough checking me over for potential skin problems. He knows that I like to have my scrotum tugged, so he generally pulls my scrotum down pretty firmly while he examines my penis. This always gets me erect. He does it with a wink and a smile so that I know he knows his affect on me!

First time I recall, I was 15 and totally nude when it was due, standing up, and started to become erect. They was asked to get up on all fours for a DRE. It was an embarrassing moment that I detailed on a story elsewhere here.

I’ve had several both lying down and standing up. All of my doctors have been male with the one exception a female doctor with a chaperone. Including my H.S. sports physicals the doctor checked my penis, glans, testicles and hernia.

Most of my doctors performed the genital exam basically the same way. Normally, while laying down the front of my underwear is pulled down exposing my genitals. First, he would look & move my penis in directions. My penis was then palpated from the base to the tip, foreskin retracted, glans and meatus spread looked a urethra opening.

Standing up - I was always asked to pull my underwear down except for my pediatrician who did it for me. All the others, it really wasn’t any different than all my exams laying down. I did watch some doctors check my penis some would “spread” were others “ squeezed” open my meatus. Another time, the doctor swiped his finger between the meatus check for any discharge from my urethra. I usually stayed mostly flaccid but a few times I did become semi-erect by the end of the exam. I was rather embarrassed during physical with the female doctor and her chaperone. When the time came to stand and drop my underwear I was already had a semi-erection. She did say anything about have any erection, finished my physical with a hernia check.

Once when I was came to the doctors with a specific complaint.

I was standing and the doctor was sitting. It was a male student doctor who performed the exam but a female doctor stood behind him observing the exam.

I didn’t want to look down, but I know I became fully erect.

My male doc always has me standing for the exam. He checks my penis, then testcicles and finishes with the hernia check. I've not been erect for the exam but have gotten hard before the doctor has come into the exam room.

The urologist usually inspects my urethra opening during my annual visit. Shorts and briefs are off (shirt still on) while she does the inspection during the genital exam. As mentioned, she spreads the opening apart with her thumbs and looks inside. I'm always standing during this part - it's usually after she examines me while lying down with my legs apart (perineum exam portion).

My male internist has always done that as part of my annual physical exam. He specifically will palpate the entire shaft and gently spread my meatus. My male pediatrician did the exact same thing when I was growing up.

The female PA that gives me my physicals does include a brief penis palpation and visual urethra inspection as part of the genital exam. A testicular exam, a hernia check and a rectal exam/prostate check are also included.

I am standing up, undershorts pulled down to mid thigh (I don’t wear a gown), and for the rectal I turn around, and lean over the exam table, resting on my elbows, feet shoulder width apart.

The palpation of my penis definitely does not hurt, it does tingle and feels good, but one would expect gentle palpation to feel good. If it hurts it means either something is wrong or the examiner is palpating too firmly!

I really concentrate to try to keep from becoming fully erect during the genital and rectal exams. Usually I can keep myself from becoming fully erect, but I still get a half hard chubby. But sometimes I have no success and I end up fully erect by the time she finishes palpating my penis. She just tells me try not to be embarrassed, it’s a normal reflex from the palpation, and that just lets her know that everything works normal and my circulatory system is healthy.

I've never had a doctor palpate my penis or do anything to my urethra.

That happened once at the urologist's office at a first visit. It didn't hurt but it was strange for the doc to hold the tip of my penis between his fingers and squeeze the tip open. He also felt the shaft for bumps I guess. This was the same doctor who also bent me over the exam table and pushed very hard on my prostate during the rectal exam to get some fluid squeezed out on a glass slide. Other docs may look at my penis but they physically only my balls.

My doctor briefly examines my penis, looks at the glans and opens the meatus. Most of the focus of the genital exam is on my testicles.

I've already had several genital examinations. As a young teenager, I often had erections during exams. I have had more complete examinations: palpation of the penis, testicles, shifting and control of the meatus.

At an STI clinic in the 80s I was standing and asked to pull my foreskin as far back as it would go and the male doctor took a swab. Then I had an examination from a female doctor that involved undressing completely, with an exam of my scrotum, testicles and penis. I'm gay and this seemed a huge disappointment. At one point the woman fetched an older, very distinguished old-school British doctor to look at a rash I had on my torso ('could you just lean forward, old chap?') and I thought how much more it would have fueled my fantasies to have had him conduct the entire exam.

Of course it should be an integral part of every exam. It was for me as a teen and well into my 20s and 30s. To this day, my present doctor gives me a very thorough genital examination including palpation of the penis and testicles. He is very careful to evaluate each testicle carefully while I lay back and stand up. I don't much like the hernia exam; his squeeze tends to make me ache a tad. Following the hernia exam, he will give me a DRE and evaluates my prostate. I am naked for all of this. He then makes me lay on my left side and pull my upper leg to my chest exposing my anus. He checks the rosebud and then fingers. There is no doubt that it will be deep and involve his twisting his finger. When all is said and done, I am greasy between my butt cheeks and clearly have left a stain on the paper underneath my tush. During college years, the doc also did a urethral swab. OMG, it hurt like hell but some how made the DRE less of an ordeal.

It has never been done to me. Only one urologist, who was the head of the Urology Department in the medical school, that I went to even pulled the foreskin a third of the way back to look at the head of my penis. He never palpated it or opened the pee hole to look and neither has any other urologist or doctor I have gone to over my many years on this Earth.

Do you think that the fact that the pediatrician puts on the gloves at the beginning of the examination may mean that he or she is going to examine you less carefully than if he or she were not wearing gloves? That is to say, you are going to get what he/she thinks is convenient without thinking about it. Have you ever had the small finger of your hand passed around the balanopreputial groove with the foreskin fully retracted?

I remember when I was a kid the doctor would have me laying on my back on the examination table, stripped to my underpants, and he would pull my underpants down to my knees and move my penis from side to side, then palpate it from the base to the tip feeling the sensitive area behind the head which usually gave me an erection and squeezing the tip to open the meatus. He then felt my scrotum and squeezed each testicle, then told me to turn my head to the side and cough, first on one side and then on the other, as he dug two fingers up into the inguinal canal to do the hernia check. When I was 11 or 12 I was embarrassed when he did this because my mother was sitting in the exam room watching. When I was 13 that doctor had retired and the new young doctor examined me without my mother in the exam room.

Have you ever had the small finger of your hand passed around the balanopreputial groove with the foreskin fully retracted?

Can't say I have.

I've not had a complete examination that has included thorough palpation of the penis as it seems is the norm for routine physicals in the US, though i certainly wish I had, it is exactly the examination i crave and fantasize over

In the army the male nurse who did not seem to know much and used a speculem in my anus then he saw a set of penis sounnd\ then and after lubri cation he inserted a small sound right down then removed it and took a larger one and left it in for awhile then i came and the sound wasforcibly rejected
