What was your most embarrassing physical exam so far and why?

So, let me get this straight. The boys who were not circumcised were examined by a different doctor in a different, more private, area from the rest of the males? How were you identified for this separate examination? Did you go through the regular exam with all the boys and then were identified by the doctors as uncircumcised and needy of additional exam of the penis? Did you self-identify as in "all the uncircumcised boys get in the line over here?" I am just curious about the process. Also I would like to know about the separate exam process. Could you tell me what the doctor did to examine the uncircumcised penises? Was a recommendation made for circumcision? How did it make you feel to be separated and subjected to a separate exam? How did the circumcised guys react toward you? Sounds interesting.

Dr Dan I'm afraid I'm skeptical about your story. What institution would pay for a separate doctor to perform such an examination? And segregate the boys on the basis of cicumcision? I don't think so.

Never ever saw or noticed this in either primary or secondary school....Seems a very odd segregation based on penile difference.

Although the vast majority of kids in my neighborhood were circumcised, there was never any segregation based on ANYTHING. The couple of kids who were intact were just accepted as part of the crowd - unless they were assholes.

At adult age? Certainly having my genitals examined by a lady military doctor during military service, with testicle palpation. A bit surprising but indeed they had a kind of checklist with an item "genito-urinary organs".

We were all examined together in the school gym wearing just our underpants. There were always 2 male doctors plus some nurses/assistants. When it came to checking our genitals the few of us who were circumcised were called to the side by our names which were on a list. There was never any mention about why we were being called to the side but everyone in the class understood why.

There were never more than 5 of us. We were taken by one doc behind a screen together whilst the other guys lined up to be checked by the other doc behind another screen. The circumcised guys went behind the other screen 1 or 2 at a time. The uncircumcised all went behind this screen together, so had less privacy.

Behind the screen were were instructed to remove our underpants and stand in a line. The doc then moved along the line carrying out hernia checks and testicular exams. Then he asked us to retract our foreskins and he had a good look to check we were cleaning ourselves properly and there were no issues. I found this very embarrassing as I didn't (and still don't) feel comfortable exposing my glans to others. He then usually moved our foreskins back and forward once or twice during the exam to check there was no tightness - which sometimes triggered erections. A couple of guys always had some tightness so their parents got letters asking them to take their sons to a clinic for more detailed exams. There was never any mention of circumcising although I'm sure the boys who got letters realised it was a possibility for them.

I couldn't see how the circumcised guys were examined but it usually took our doctor about as long to examine 3-5 uncircumcised guys as it took the other doc to examine around 20 circumcised guys so I expect our exams were more thorough.

Military induction physical. Many of us in one big room and no privacy at all.

Ditto the military induction physical. I never had been through those group physicals in my school years so it was a bit of a shock to me.

Any exam where I've been examined as a group naked with others. I experienced a few exams like that at university and always got very embarrasseed. I hated the genital part of the exam when the doctor would ask me to retract my foreskin. Having a group of teammates / classmates watch on as the doctor examined my glans seemed very invasive. I'd also find a rectal exam in front of others very embarrassing but that has never happened yet and I doubt it will ever happen now.

First, I do generally think that physical exams are embarrassing. Whether they are one-on-one with just a doctor, or in a large group, they're still embarrassing, at least in my way of thinking. But I've really come to like the embarrassment, and I feel that it's a big factor in determining how much I enjoy a particular exam.

As I've posted before, I think my most embarrassing physical was my first group sports exam in high school. My exams were very similar to what DavidWest described, or even what London Matt mentioned, about having your team mates and class mates watch as the doctor examined you. Having a large audience there of your peers to watch your exam made it very embarrassing. But it was a requirement for playing a sport, and there really wasn't any way of opting out of the exam. One main difference is that DavidWest said he was in briefs, while all of us were wearing just a jockstrap. For some reason that's just how my school did things, having all the guys strip to a jock and then doing the exams like that. I really think it was a control thing on their part, with those in charge thinking that the boys would be easier to control and less likely to disobey orders or cause any disruptions dressed like that.

All of my sports exams in high school were done the same way, but that first year was the most embarrassing since I wasn't quite prepared for what to expect. After that it wasn't as bad, since I already knew the drill.

Group physicals are always embarassing, especially during the genital exams, when others in your group start comparing lengths..

Most embarrassing exam was in high school before going to college. This one I vividly remember even today. The old female doctor I had always had me strip completely when I visited her for any reason. I had a physical every year with her because I wrestled, and last year before going to college I also had to strip naked.

I had several physicals with her, and I remember keeping my briefs on on few occasions even though the nurse told me to "remove everything, including your underpants." The doctor came in and after exchanging hellos and asking me how I felt, she always told me to remove my briefs. So I was always naked in front of her when I was in the exam room. She always did a genital exam, and made sure my foreskin retracted every time. On the very first visit however, she did use an orchidometer during the genital exam. (as I later found out what that instrument was)

After the genital exam, there was a part where she made me walk back and forth in the buff to check the posture. I felt uneasy when I had to walk back and forth for posture check without anything covering me. Then I always had to part my feet and touch my toes briefly as she parted the buttock and did a visual check.

After the posture check, she used to tell me to get dressed, but this time she told me to put my hands and chest on the exam table. She decided to give me a rectal exam since I won't be seeing her anymore, and that she wanted to make sure everything was good before I started wrestling in college. It was brief, but rather uncomfortable and told me to just relax, and that it will be cold.

I did get hard, and I had to lie down on the table afterwards, I was covering myself, but she told me to move my hands as she asked me if it hurt when my penis was "like that." After that I was allowed to get dressed.

She was a very gentle old doctor and seemed to really care about my well being. But I do think that she may have enjoyed giving physical exams to athletic males in the buff.

Like JimmyJohnson and others here, I wrestled in junior high and high school but there was a difference between stripping down to a jockstrap to line up and weigh-in for a wrestling tournament and our once a year sports physicals. The difference was that for our group physicals in the school gym, we were coming from home and were fully dressed until we reached the gym and were told to strip to our briefs and get in line. For wrestling, we were in the lockerrom and told to strip down and put on our jockstraps and get in line to be weighed-in. Then after the weigh-in, we went back to where we left our clothes and put on the rest of our wrestling uniform. If we had gotten our sports physicals in PE class, then we probably would have been stripped down to just jockstraps for the exam, but that was not the usual routine.

School and college medicals were always embarassing. Undressing completely for an unknow doctor.

Military exam, at my 18 years old.

I think all of my school medicals wear embarrassing . I think because at a young age you a more vunarable and we only had a screen between me and the Doctor and the other boys who wear waiting to be examined.

My greatest embarrassment in adolescence was not so much the actual examination as the the shot(s) that usually came afterwards because I had to drop trousers and pull pants all the way down before bending over the lap of the smiling receptionist for her to watch me injected in the bare bottom. Her condescending remarks such as, "Be brave; you know you have to get this," only exacerbated my humiliation and praising my behaviour afterwards once made matters even worse when she explained to a waiting female patient, "He just pulled down his pants and bent over my lap for a shot without complaining."

My most embarrassing exam was a middle school sports physical. The school brought in a random male doctor and the exam included a hernia check. The embarrassment was mostly because I had never met the doctor before. The next year, when I did not play sports, the school brought in a female doctor (I never saw her, but she was apparently middle aged and attractive) to perform the sports physicals (for both males and females); that was a hot topic in school for a while.

For me it was like for "Tigr601" my first mandatory draft physicals at 18 age in a military pre-induction center.

Why? Because I was stark naked for a long time, much more than at mandatory annnual school exams.

And almost always in a large group with several supervisers to monitor us during all the procedure including a showerin group before the start of the examination and were not medical persons but non commissionners officiers or a few oficers.

Fortunately all were male persons.

Also because we were treated much more than at school physicals like cattle.

Not only All the supervisers but also the military doctors were very strict about obedience and we were treated like if we were still in the army : no rights to privacy.

It happened also sometimes that the school doctors or the school nurses or the PE teachers who supervised us in the locker room were a little rather authoritarian and tough with us but it

could not be compared to the draft physicals.

I think it's the time when I was about 12. I had switched from the Pediatrician to the general practitioner. This was a whole new experience for me so I was nervous to begin with. I was fidgeting in the waiting room and my mom poked me hard and said to sit still. Finally a nurse opened the waiting room door and called my name. I stood up and waited for mom, but she just said that she would be there when I was done. I followed the nurse to examining room. Then she spoke the words I was hoping not to hear. "Get undressed. Take everything off but your underpants and have seat on the table. Someone will be in a minute to take your vital signs". Then she left and closed the door. I did as I was told and stripped down to my boxers. (Mom laid out a brand new pair for me that morning. I should have known.)

Then a knock and the door opens. There stands my neighbor from across the street. She was a close friend of mom's but she didn't have any children my age so I didn't interact with her that much. But it was somebody I knew and she was looking at me in my underwear!

She greeted me warmly and asked about my mom. I was mortified and mumbled that she was okay. Then she placed a thermometer in my mouth and took my blood pressure. At least the thermometer wasn't in my bum. I was just getting comfortable with the idea of her seeing my underwear when she said "okay young man, slip off your shorts and lets get your height and weight. ". I think I turned red from head to toe. After that was complete she told me I could put my shorts back on and sit on the table and wait for the doctor. He came in and examined eyes, ears, throat, heart , and lungs. Then he said "go ahead and take off your shorts." Then he examined my abdomen and genitals. He had me roll over a he inspected my anus. When he was done he pronounced me fit but I need a booster shot and to stay undressed until the nurse finished with me. So my neighbor who I will see often comes in and sees my naked pubescent body again and tells me to roll onto my tummy. She gives me an injection and says to say hi to my mom and leaves me to get dressed.

Every time it saw her after that I felt like she was seeing me naked again.

I have read about so many physicals where a kid needed a shot and had to lay across the lap of someone. Didn't the exam rooms have an exam table???----mine always did and whenever I needed an injection in my butt it was on that table. Until I came to this site, I never heard of any doctor using a receptionist for any "lap" services. I have worked in the medical field for 20 some years and had never heard of this. Maybe I am expecting all the posts on this site to be legit?--(silly me)

My exams were always embarrassing. Having mother in the exam room, getting erections and ejaculating....was very embarrassing.

I have previously posted my group physical exam experiences in the military. While not necessarily embarrassing, it's not "normal" to be standing in a cold room, naked, with 40 of your closest friends. The big surprise of course was the rectal exam, which I had never had before, and I suspect neither had anyone else in the room. I got the fact that this procedure is necessary, "because you're a guy", but for 18 year olds, it's someone invasive. I was also my opinion that the navy medics were, shall we say, of a different sexual persuasion.

Getting naked for genital check up at 15 being mom in the room... specifically when the foreskin was retracted..... that was the first time mom saw my full erection and hairy pubes as a teen ager.

So, you are saying the Navy medics were homosexuals? Why did you think that was the case?

I was often asked that question by many people, but that´s not easy to say for me, because for me, most exams were very embarrassing, because mostly I had to take off everything and was examined mostly completely naked. I remember some exams which were really very embarrassing for me, because sometimes i got so nausea during the (abdominal) exams that I vomited; I was so ashamed about that! I often got genital exams, too, and some were also very embarrassing, because I got an erection. I will never forget the very first one, what happened during my first exam by a (female) dermatologist for a complete and full body mole exam, when I was 13 yrs. I wished I could sunken into the floor at once or run away out of the office, but O couldn´t because I was completely naked...

I can comfort you a bit!

My first skin exam happened when I was 17 - they asked me to strip nude right at the beginning!

I was quite shocked too - but the nurse and afterwards also the doc explained to me, that this kind of exam is always done by the patient beeing completely nude!

I was so ashamed, that I didn't tell a word to my parents! Neither to my friends - but just two years later a good friend of mine told me in confident, that this "happend" to him too!

Getting older nude exams became no great deal for me any more.

My next skin exam will be after the summer holidays - in August or September - depending on the agenda of my skin doc! ------

I've got eczema, and during one of my first trips to the dermatologist, I had to strip down to my underwear and my mom was in the room. That was pretty embarrassing.

No doubt it was my 10th birthday physical exam. At that exam, I never undressed below my shorts until the doctor mentioned at the end that the nurse would be in to give me a booster shot. The nurse came in and asked me to lower my shorts and bend over the exam table. I bared my bottom and as the nurse swabbed my right buttock with alcohol, she commented that "Someone had been a naughty boy!". I then realized that my bottom was still red from a bare bottom belt spanking my mom had given me the night before. I felt like a baby, especially when mom launched into a conversation with the nurse about the entire incident.

Vis a vis post #59. Erections and ejaculations in the doctors office?

Sounds very fishy to me.
