Father at Physicals

Agreed, JTMac. Wives, where I grew up in the 60's, were home for the most part, volunteering, doing projects, but around for school delivery and pickups, medical, sports appointments, lessons. Worst: I only recently recalled the nurses wearing white headpieces.

I used to get physicals from my lady doc, but my insurance carrier nixed those a couple of years ago, so no more.

I'm confused. Why would your insurance carrier stop you from seeing a lady doc?

I would tend to think that during times when our physicals were scheduled when we were kids many years ago, they would be during working hours of dads. And that since many moms typically stayed home to raise the kids or had flexible work schedules or work closer to home & can thus accommodate child care, that they were the ones who typically took the kids to their physicals.

Yes, I think you nailed it on that one JT. In the the 60's and 70's when I was a growing up, the man went out to work and the woman stayed home and raised the kids. Or, at least that was the normal situation for the vast majority of families -- I realize there are always exceptions even back then. But that would certainly explain why my father never once took me to a doctor. It was always my mom.

I'm confused. Why would your insurance carrier stop you from seeing a lady doc?

Maybe the lady doc stopped participating in that plan? Maybe she cut her long red fingernails?

My father attended one of my physicals growing up. I was ushered back to the exam room with my father in tow. The nurse turned to my dad and said make sure he is undressed completely before closing the exam door. I had to get completely undress and wait nude on the exam table. Prefer having mom in the exam room.

I never had either one of my parents sit in on one of my physicals. But I was in the exam room during one of my dad's exams.

I was around seven years old and went with my dad to the doctor's office. He was a football coach and was going to get his physical exam for the coming season. He brought me along because I was having issues with my ears at the time, and dad just figured he'd have the doc check them while he was there for his physical. Well, that's what started my interest in medical exams.

To make a long story short (I'll post details if anyone's interested), the doc checked my ears out first, and then told me to have a seat while he did my dad's exam. It was head-to-toe, with hernia, testicle, and prostate exam included. All with me sitting in the chair to the side of the exam table taking it all in.

I still play that scene in my mind to this day.

Yes and it didn’t phase me...though it was mostly my mom who took me.

I only got a full physical exam at school and neither of my parents were ever present for any of those.

When I went to the doctors it was a mixture as to which of them came with me. Occasionally when I was younger they asked to do a more general exam for which I would be stripped down to my briefs and shirtless, and my dad was present for one of those. It wasn't that detailed though: Height and weight measured, looking at my eyes, ears, and in my mouth, reflex tests, and them listening to my heart, lungs and belly (and me being asked to listen also which I enjoyed!). Certainly no genital exam though.

As a little boy it was my mother that took me to the doctor, after I was 10 it was my father, he sat in, but I didn't have full examinations just shirtless, when I was 18 my father was taken into hospital, I sat in as he doctor examined him and asked detailed questions of his sex life, I had mixed emotions, of arousal and embarrassment, he was surprisingly frank.

As a child, my mother was the one that took me to all of my exams. I can't remember a single time that my father was there.

make sure he is undressed completely before closing the exam door.

Without a comma between "completely" and "before", that can take on a whole different meaning. At least for the way some minds work.

It was always my mother taking me to the exams... I loved my pediatrician... amazingly good looking man with the largest sausage fingers. Anyway, my mom usually sat in on my exams, Down to tightey whiteys, genital exam laying down on my back. Doc just reached in with his large hands, and fondled the boys gently. It always aroused me.

Later, mom would wait in the waiting room, and I would be alone with the doctor.

My dad used to come in with me for my physicals as a kid and the last time was when I was about 16. It was kind of cool having my did in the room with me while I was stripped down to my underwear and eventually having them down while the doctor examined my testicles. Yeah my dad saw me with an erection when the doctor examined me as well. I was embarrassed by it but we talked about it on the way home and he said that it was a normal thing that happens sometimes.

Very Nice @physical68 ! Could you give more details of your Dad's Examination? Was it the very first time you saw your old man naked? Or you had the chance to see him like that previously at home or in the Locker Room at the place he worked as a Coach? Would love to hear more!

My mother always took me to medical appointments when I was a child and preteen. There was never any exposure of the genitalia with the pediatrician I saw until age 11. My mother was in the room but I was not undressed with the doctor just working around my clothing. That pediatrician died prior to my 11 year old exam so I began seeing the other doctor in the same practice. My mother was in an alcove outside the exam room for my exams at 11 and 12. It was a good thing too because he had me stripped to my briefs and they ended up coming down for full genital exposure. We lived in a city with good and safe public transportation, so, beginning at age 13, I went to exams alone. Amazing how kids were expected to take responsibility for themselves back then.

My mom would always take me my dad never went to any appointments of mine or my sisters. Dad was always working all the time so he really did not have time to take us.

I don't recall my dad ever taking me. it was always my mom.

Yet when it comes to my son going to the doctor or the dentist, it is usually always me taking him.

My mom always took me to physicals as it was easier to get off work during the day for her than my dad who worked a few hours later in the day than she did.

I remember my dad taking me to physicals as he was more available when they were in the mornings. I don't think he ever could watch the exam itself as he was behind a courtain.

I also faintly remember being quite young my mum being in the exam room with me, but don't remember much detail.

My mom or dad were required to be with me during my exams all through high school, and actually for my first college physical. As I was later into my teen years my dad would be there most of the time, but if he was away on business my mom had to go. Kind of embarrassing for her to see my penis and testacles but I got over it. No big deal having my dad in the room. My pediatrician's office only took rectal temperatures, so they saw that as well. Again not a big deal because that is the way it was always taken at home. I learned over the years to get over any kind of embarrassment. Truthfully, the only embarrassment I felt was when the exam door was left open or partially open and passersby saw me on the table naked, especially other patients and their parents.

My dad was always in the room at the pediatrician during my physicals as a teenager. I'd be up on the exam table, Dr on my left, dad sitting in a chair on my right. I had my shirt off and was wearing shorts and briefs. The doctor would undo my belt, button, and zipper himself while making a comment like, "Okay now I need to check all the way down here." I was always completely erect. He would lift up the waistband of my underwear and was met with my hard dick pointing him square in face. He'd use his thumbs to open my uretheral meatus, then shift my penis left-right-up-down to get a good look at it from all sides. Then his hands would go all the way into my underwear to feel my testicles. I would raise my head to look down and see the doctor with his hands all over my genitals, and he'd say, "just relax"...

My mother usually took me but was only in the room for the exam until I was about 11 or 12. When I was in high school and about 16yo, I faked being sick with a cold/flu in order to miss a giving an oral report in English class. My parents called my bluff and made a doctor's appointment for me and my father took me there.

As the doctor looked at my chart he said that I see you are due for your annual check up next month, why don't we just get that out of the way today. My father said sure and before I knew it I was stripping down to my underwear in front of both of them. The exam progressed and then the doctor instructed me to stand and remove my underwear. I was standing full view of my father as the doctor was examining my genitals and I began to grow hard. By the time I had to turn my head and cough, I was fully erect. My father had not seen me naked in years and certainly never erect; that was quite embarrassing.

If that wasn't bad enough, the doctor told me to turn around and bend over. He grabbed my butt cheeks and spread them saying he was looking for any hemorrhoids. He released them and I began to stand up again when he told me to stay in that position that he saw some redness and wanted to do a rectal exam. I soon felt the cool wet lube, he told me to take a deep breath and he slid his finger in. The exam only lasted a few seconds but it felt like he was back there forever. He withdrew his finger and told me I could stand up and get dressed. As I turned to grab my underwear I could swear my father he a quirky smile on his face. To this day I wonder if he had the doctor perform the rectal exam as a "punishment" for faking being sick

My mom always took me to my doctors appointments and would come into the room until I was maybe 12 or 13. The next 2 physicals, I was alone with my doctor — using the nurse’s phase “your ‘privates’ will be checked.” My dad came to a follow up appointment involving my genitals.

I was 16 years old, the normal routine was having me strip to my underwear, vitals checked then the nurse told me the doctor was running late with his appointments. After about 25 minutes of sitting in a cold room only in my underwear my scrotum and balls tightened. Finally, he comes in everything was fine until he began checking my genitals. I stood & drop my underwear then he had difficulty feeling both testicles due to the tightness of my scrotum. I got dressed an told my mom that I would to return in a a couple of days to recheck my balls and for a hernia exam. He was a little concern how tight my scrotum and testicles were but believed it was due to nerves and the coldness of the room. I was lucky, he asked me before my mom came in if my balls and sac ever tighten up like that before. I told him only sometimes when it’s cold outside (winter) or after swimming.

Early on Saturday morning, my dad took me to my doctors appointment It was either the first or second appointment of the day. I stripped down to my underwear waited on the exam table. He gave me a brief exam then had me stand and drop my underwear down. It seemed my doctor spent extra time checking my testicles followed by a hernia exam. Due to then length of time he was palpating my balls I started to get semi-hard. Naturally it somewhat embarrassing since my dad had not seen me naked in years and never becoming erect.

I am quite sure that your father had talked before with your doctor and decided what punishment you deserved as a lyer about being sick.

if it was not, the doctor would have not practiced on you a rectal examination with a finger at the butts at your age, it was clearly to dissuade you to lie in the future.

it was not a bad way ...

I had to laugh even thinking about this. My old man was busy building the business and mom took us. I really don't remember anything embarrassing happening although maybe a few shots in the ass or a rectal temp before 5. My mom was a nurse and gave me plenty of shots in the ass herself so I don't remember her ever being in the room with the doc although I'm sure she was. My old man had a rule for kids that he was busy and not to even call him at work unless something was on fire and couldn't be put out. This rule didn't get lifted for me until about 16 when I was working there. My cousin was a pyro and did burn a car down in the neighborhood once with some fireworks but we just let it burn and hauled ass. No way I was calling the old man.

I had my dad attend some when I was younger, but my mom did sometimes too. I don’t ever remember both of them being at any particular doctor visit. I can’t say I had a strong preference for my mom or dad to go, either was okay. For me I started going in alone around age 12 so I don’t remember much embarrassment either.

Dad was a WW-2 casualty that was expected to die, but too tough to give up. Because of the way his benefits worked, he accompanied us every time and taught me and my little brother to be men. The last thing we'd do is whimper at the doctor's office. The last time I saw him, he was full of cancer and they were trying to get his urine out of him. The PA was wet with sweat and all dad would do is grimace. We lived 2,500 miles apart, not planned, just happened.

That would have been unethical. Think about it. A doctor deliberately using a procedure such as sticking a finger in a rectum merely for punishment.

The parents had to shell out money for a doctor's appointment just to call out a bluff. It just so happened to work out they got the annual physical out of the way anyway. Otherwise, who would have been the winner after they got the bill for an unnecessary appointment?

My dad took me to the GP after a letter from the school doctor said that my foreskin was tight. It was the first time I had been exposed in front of him for years. The doctor advised that with some stretching circumcision could be avoided. He asked my dad to help me do this at home. I was devastated the first time he came in my room, I said I didn't need any help but dad said he had to

you do not say how old you were when you had this exam in presence of your father and how long you were helped by your dad at home to solve the issuie and if you had other checking examination with this doctor.

anyway I think that it wass normal that your father came with you to know by the doctor what was the issue and the possible solution.

Any good father who cared about the good health of his son would have done the same .
