Guys, is it embarrassing to be in your underwear ?

@SwitchableSusie If you're not used to being seen in undergarments, to be seen in public by a stranger in something you feel intimate and not often seen in, it would be embarrassing to be seen in something you're not used to being seen in, especially if it were an undergarment.

I would understand that for the 35 years I know I went through, afraid of being seen wearing a jockstrap.

But as you're an exhibtionist like me, you can't be expected to understand how or why people would be embarrassed to be seen in undergarments they're not used to being seen in.

That’s stupid. Don’t see your argument

JUST TO BE CLEAR: @JTMac said this in his post--NOT ME

If you were told that a full length head to toe parka was an undergarment, would you be embarrassed because of what it is called despite its covering your entire body?

If "yes," there is something wrong. A Speedo covers a lot less than underwear, and a rose by any other name. . . . a parka covers you up even if it were to be called underwear. You should not have any embarrassment.

Embarrassment comes from the unwillingly transgressing or inadvertently flaunting of a social convention. Now granted, social conventions can be as irrational as can be, but nonetheless. if you don't adhere to this or that social convention, no matter how objectively absurd those conventions may seem, many/most people will still feel embarrassed.

As an addendum to this notion, consider some successful comedy series: For instance in 'the Big Bang Theory' Dr. Cooper is such a scientific nerd, that he approaches most social situations in a thoroughly rational manner, and of course looks like the awkward nerd that he is when he doesn't understand what he is doing wrong according to social protocols. In '3rd Rock from the Sun' we have alien researchers in human form on Earth who are also clueless about the social conventions and approach things in a rational and literal manner. All cause for great fun and laughter. Which is another way of saying that we love to laugh at another's embarrassment.

This may be a bit tangential but I feel more confident when wearing my navy blue bikini briefs for an exam. The color exudes confidence in my case. Sounds irrational I suppose but it works for me though the briefs do come off!

It is a non-issue for me. I prefer female doctors over male doctors anyway, so I am more comfortable being undressed in front of them. My pediatrician was male and as a kid I really didn’t care, but as I entered my teens I started feeling more uncomfortable being examined by him.

I wear Tom Hilfiger boxer shorts to doc appointments, and they are very shorts-like, so no embarrassment at all. Apart from that, I wear women's full-cut nylon briefs 24/7 - quite a sight, a big hairy bear in women's panties.. it's funny...

I have a real underwear fetish and consider it part of my choice of what I wear for the day. Most of us wear underwear and I wouldn't give it a second thought about being seen by a male or female doctor in my underwear during an examination. So many people are uptight about modesty. i have a number of friends who are doctors and medical workers and I can assure you that it is a non-issue for them during the exam. They see so many people during the day they could care less about what one wears. I think after 7 years of med school and three years of internship and 2 years docs have seen it all. What is there to be embarrassed about.

The only time I got embarrassed about it was when the nurse turned out to be a gal I had dated a few times. The regular nurse was off on maternity leave and she was filling in. I was wearing bikini briefs and I felt awkward having someone I knew socially examine me. She was completely professional but I was very different than being examined by people who only know me in a professional capacity

Maybe it's me, but unless the dates went very badly, I'd think that encountering each other in such a setting might have been a good excuse/occasion to go out together again, renew things from a fresh perspective, talk it over and then maybe from your point of view, ask for some reciprocity if things went well. It could always be construed as a joke if not received well ... 😃

That scenario has only happened to me once or twice as an adult, but I never found it embarrassing. I feel like I’m much more aware of my surroundings when that has happened.

I'm not ashamed of being in a doctor's panties. I'm not embarrassed by the current medical staff. I would be ashamed if other people saw me.

I was a little embarrassed when I went in for military medical examination. I entered a large hall where, in addition to doctors, there were military men and clerks (women). However, I was most afraid that I would have to take my panties off. Fortunately, this was done behind the screen.

Well I enjoyed her friendship but we never sparked that way so I never brought it up. Maybe I should have perished it .

Not really, I'd say it is a non issue for me. It doesn't feel any different that wearing a swimsuit at the beach. No embarrassment up until the point that the underwear comes off.

Never given that option when I was younger. Always told to undress completely and wait. Not sure if that was the case with all pediatricians.

I'm a retired physician at 68 myself, but not sure it's relevant. I'm not embarrassed by being in only underwear. Never have been, but I seriously wonder if some practicing physicians are, or they may seem uneasy or embarrassed because they're not sure if the patient is embarrassed.

Only if I am wearing my pouch style (white or black) or a " butt floss" thong to accentuate my "package" and leave my butt exposed.

Seriously, no. I don't recall being embarrassed ever. It's just part of the examination process and when you've had medical students examine you en masse (prior consent, of course) you probably aren't too inhibited to be concerned about waiting in your underwear.

Maybe I would be a little embarrassed, but that also adds to the experience I think. I would not feel too conscious about it, because I know it's routine.

Used to be growing up. It wouldn't be now. It has always been a turn on for me.

I am not embarrassed now. I was a bit during my teen years, but not because of the doctor, I was embarrassed in front of the nurse.

I don’t find it embarrassing now. I have undressed down to my underpants in front of a female doctor in recent times. When I was younger I found it embarrassing being undressed. We undressed before going in to see the doctor, and there was often a teacher around, or other member of staff, and the school nurse was present in the exam room with the doctor. The teacher or staff member was the most embarrassing as you wouldn’t expect them to see you in your underwear other than the PE teacher, perhaps.

When I was a teen I found being in just my underpants to be very embarrassing ,regardless if the doctor was male or female. For me (with one exception) every physical I had when I was a teen was me in underpants,which is how I met the doctor. You meet the doctor in the smallest amount of clothing possible, and you know that he or she will be taking more than a small peek under your underpants. Once I disrobed I realized that everyone in that room will eventually see every inch of my naked body. That is embarrassing regardless of if your doctor is male or female. So it's less being in your underwear than realizing that you are completely subservient to the doctor's will, your shy side comes out in full.

Doctors should not be embarrassed to have the patient stripped down to only his undershorts. He should enjoy the position of power and superiority that being dressed in the room with another man wearing only underpants. In my opinion, it is important for the doctor to be authoritative, comfortable, and in control in order to give the patient the most meaningful experience. I do not find it embarrassing but definitely feel the power transfer. Tighty whities are the style I choose for physicals because I think they maximize my feeling of inadequacy at the time I am alone in the exam room with a fully clothed doctor. They provide minimal coverage of my body and, despite covering the genitalia, do not prevent the doctor from getting a pretty good idea about the size of the penis he is going to get a look at, if he wishes, during the exam. The doctor controls that waistband.

It used to be as the doctor would see the outline of my penis. Now it’s exiting

It’s a little embarrassing and a little exciting. Which is the fun part.

Just recently had my anual skin exam with my female PA and as always asked to undress down to my underwear. i am not embarrased at all as she is very thorough pulling the back of my boxer briefs out to check the top of my butt and lifts the front and back of the leg openings to check high on my legs. Disapointed she does not check my geitals.

I’m not embarrassed to be in my underwear in front of medics, but I choose the color. I usually prefer white or grey briefs, however I find the contours of the penis are too visible, with my circumcised glans pressing against the fabric. There is also the risk that moisture will be visible at the tip of the meatus, especially for gray ones.

To go to the doctor, I therefore put on dark, black or blue briefs, or with a drawing. This is a mistake, it would be more exciting to put on white briefs, I will consider it for my next exam.

I haven't undressed to my shorts for the doctor in years, they always let you keep your clothes as far as possible. I think we guys are not used to undressing for the doctors as females who do that twice a year starting in their puberty for the gynecologist.

I wear regular men's boxer shorts for doctor visits; but one time when I was not expecting to have to take my shirt off, he wanted to listen to my heart - suffice it to say that was the last time I ever wore panties to a visit. I'm sure he could see the top of the panty.

I dont have a problem with that all,i think it adds to the excitement

Heck, I‘ve been wearing male, high rise, long leg girdles for many years. (from LEO brand male girdles). First I love the firmness a girdle provides, but I also enjoy the great support I get for my SEVERE lower back arthritis. I also lost 90 pounds of fat several years ago which left me with a lot of ugly, loose, saggy skin on my butt and abdomen. With my girdle, this ugly loose skin is nicely tamed so my clothes fit nicely. And, my doctor has seen me in a girdle, which didn’t seem to bother him. I also wear a bra for my 42D breasts, but that’s another story...check out my profile...
