Do you guys stimulate your penis before the doctor sees it?

Hi Relloz, Welcome to Zity.

I'm guessing you may be young as you seem to be capable of being that easily stimulated, as well as your feelings of embarrassment.

Exposure and embarrassment are 2 things i like to read about & discuss on Zity. So again, welcome !

I never have, although I used to get psychologically aroused after taking off my clothes, sometimes a little or sometimes a lot. Nowadays as long as the room isn't too cold then I don't really worry about how I'm going to feel when the doctor sees my genitalia. Usually it's been very comfortable, so I'm okay with my penis size and the way my testicles hang down.

I am definitely a "grower, not a shower". So, I always stimulate myself right before the doctor enters the exam room. The nurse always takes my vitals and asks me to change into the exam gown and wait for the doctor. During that 5-10 mins of waiting, I always play with myself a bit to at least get a semi-erection.

My doctor is an attractive Indian female, but she is not shy about seeing and examining my penis and testicles. To be honest, I find it more embarrassing for her to examine me in a rather small, flaccid state than a respectable semi or full erection.

I don't need to. When it comes time for that part I'm instantly hard.

I certainly don't stimulate my penis before my physicals. I prefer to remain totally flaccid, but more than likely I experience a "shrinkage" issue. Some other exams, I'm pretty much semi-erect when I'm told to stand and drop my boxers.

I will "adjust or shake it out" my penis and balls while I'm getting undressed or waiting for the doctor. I had really embarrassing moment when the doctor walked in an my hands were down in my underwear.

No i don't.

Certainly not, an erection in front of the Doctor would be embarrassing.

I don't really have to. I naturally get hard after stripping to my briefs and waiting for the doctor to come in and examine me.

I have never seen my husband stimulate himslef manually, however given we do the cojoint exams, and I go second, he is deffenitly arroused when he removes his underpants for the genitial part of his exam...he is not hard per say, but his penis has slight engorgement and hangs quite a bit. Doctor H has never made any comment on it.

Stimulate is not the right word, I don't try to get anywhere remotely close to an erection before the doctor comes in. I do tend to "release the hounds", so to speak. For me personally, sometimes things get smushed up inside my pants, awkwardly situated. Sometimes the penis is shriveled up and/ or stuck to the scrotum or leg a bit, so I might shake things out in a "Free Willy" move. I'm not stroking myself, just adjusting myself or shaking things out so that everything can hang naturally where it may.

The nice added bonus to this move is that, usually, the penis does lengthen and plump up a little. Again, it's not an erection or even a semi, just a bit more impressive than it was before. And to be honest, mentally I do like that benefit. I want to look the best that I possibly can. However, the fluffing doesn't last long, at least for me. Even if I were able to do this just before I sit on the table right before the doctor enters the room, by the time we got to the genital exam, all increases in size from the fluffing would be gone. The main reason I do it is because it just feels better to have everything situated and hanging loosely and naturally.

Unfortunately, I'm rarely able to do any genital adjusting before or during an exam. My current doctor, and many of the ones in the past that have given me a physical, just leave me completely dressed during the physical. When the time comes for the genital/ hernia exam, I stand up and drop my pants and underwear. Almost always, by this time the doctor is standing or sitting directly in front of me, putting on his/ her gloves, staring at my genitals from the first moment of exposure. It's not like I'm going to reach down and shake it out in front of their face.

Ben Dover's account exactly matches with my own experience. I do the same if asked to gown up.The little fellow is shy and never happy to receive the doctor's attention so it's probably just as well the physical now don't even result in exposure.

Generally I do not get an erection just prior or during my annual physical exam. The morning of the appointment, I will jerk off and when I get home after the appointment I will masturbate again. There is no opportunity to stimulate or adjust my cock before my exam.

When my doctor comes into the exam room I'm fully clothed. He sits down and then talks about the lab results and we discuss any developments since we last met. Also, he takes time to answer any questions I may have - basically it's a casual visit as we discuss both medically-related and non medical topics. Once we finish talking, he asks me to strip down to my underwear and get on the table.

I undress while he is in the room with me. That all being said, there is no opportunity to stimulate or adjust myself, but I really don't want to get hard. Plus, some of the anxiety that kicks-in from being with a doctor probably helps keep my cock soft.

When it is time for him to examine my genitals and prostate, I strip off my underwear and lay them nearby. I find it easier to be completely naked - it's annoying to have underwear around my ankles or at mid-thigh. And it doesn't hurt that I like being naked for the exam.

Once he is done, he remains in the room while I "clean up". After wiping my ass, I hop off the table completely naked and begin to get dressed while we talk. We exit the exam room together.

I would never want to get an erection in front of my doctor, so when i get naked an wait for the doctor i do not touch my penis. I like it small and flaccid before the doctor come in.

Guys please do not masturbate or have sex few days before coming for your physical exam, because it might make more harder for doctor to make good health assessment! For example, doctor may not be able properly examine your genitals or if he/she needs to extract prostatic fluid.

And do not worry of getting erection, it is very normal to get erection during examination, even though it's not happening very often, if doctor or nurse would notice your erection they will not react in any way, because it's normal male body reaction.

So be safe and get checked guys! That includes prostate DRE!

Oh heck after my vasectomy my guy is shy and I get a little red faced.

Anyone's physician or physician's office ever made this request, either verbally or in writing (like a letter sent to home address, or an email) ?

Topic starter: Who's real annual physical has included deliberate extraction of prostatic fluid ? And for what purpose ?

Mine hasn't, and I've never had a request to abstain, so I'm going to go ahead and continue to jack away.

Now, if any of you are so bold to ask YOUR doc during your next exam, if they'd rather you abstain for purposes of the exam, please do so and report back to us.

I've never had a doctor's office request I abstain from ejaculating. I can't imagine any legitimate reason for this to happen IRL. I've also never had a doctor extract prostatic fluid.

I have given it a brief tug as it is usually nestled in pubic hair before the doc enters. I think it's a psychological thing more than a promise of reaction as I am not likely to increase size. Unlike the movies about exams, it's for real. Now after I leave that's another story and amazingly it works!

I guess I really get turned on when I go for my physicals. I wear boxers and often, I am partially erect just stripping down before the exam starts. I often end up with a full tent in my boxers at some point; usually just before they come down for the testicle/prostate exam.

No, I find the act of stripping down and putting on the gown to be stimulating enough. When I first put on the gown, I'm usually completely erect, but there's always such a wait between being asked to put on the gown and the doctor actually showing up to examine me, that I'm always soft again by the time he shows up. So while I'm on the small side of average, I've never had a shrinkage issue during my exam.

My prostate has been slightly enlarged since relatively young age and requires regular follow-up. Every three month I have DRE with ultrasound and PSA evaluation. Blood for PSA is withdrawn before any other procedure. I am told to avoid any sexual activity that leads to ejaculation in the 48 hours before and not to do any vigorous exercise, especially cycling, in the 48 hours before a PSA test. Usually I observe these precautions at least 72-96 course before. Not surprisingly I get semi hard-on during DRE but the doc does not care about it.

My doctor prescribed routine blood tests and one for a PSA count for me. She told me not to ejaculate for two days prior to the test as it could affect the PSA number. A relative who had prostrate cancer had a higher than normal number. The doctor told him to avoid sexual activity prior to a rescheduled PSA test. That test came back in his normal range.

I'm a retired physician. Never thought of doing it, never will. If the doc asked me for some specific preparation such as no masturbation, of course that would be fine. I've always supposed I'd be classified as a grower, but whatever size, shape and stiffness it happened to have when my doc saw it would just be the way it worked out. It is what it is. I'm now 68, and back when I still produced decent erections, I had a number of unsolicited compliments from various girlfriends so I was never self-conscious about it anyway. The doctor has seen a lot more penises than mine.

This is when I feel relieved to be female. I do think that for many men the exam brings heightened anxiety relative to penis size. It seems to be the common denominator whether he see's a male or female provider. I wonder when preoccupation with how the penis looks to others starts for men? I am thinking that it has to begin around puberty or earlier. It's a bit difficult for me to believe that it was a topic of family conversation. I suppose societal influences could have been a factor but difficult for me to appreciate. For women, there has always been strong messages sent about body size etc. I wasn't thinking that this was true for adolescent boys unless it comes from them.

Nice thread...has a lot of meaning.

Definitely yes, I will fully admit, if I have my pants off somewhere and I'm alone, I'll play with myself like a horny teenager.

Like many others here I find stripping down for an exam stimulating. Once a cold stethoscope is put to my chest I'm completely boned.

@julie13

We are happy that you are relieved to know men care about their size and are under pressure, just as women are about their bodies.

But there is a subtle difference.

Women's bodies (and its sizes) are more evident and visible than a man's genital.

Features, shape and sizes of women's body have a strong link to their liking and attraction to the opposite sex. For example fuller breasts and wider buttocks are clear signs of a body suitable for reproduction.

So I think there is pressure from all directions on women, from social circles, friends, prospective partners and from biological perspective.

Men on the other hand are not under so much pressure about their size and appearance of genitals.

Firstly, it is not generally evident to everyone until you get naked in front of them.

Secondly women do not pay as much attention to this aspect, atleast in the first few encounters with a man.

Biologically, I think the size does not have a relationship to outcome of sexual activity more specifically on reproduction.

A woman is more focused on the overall strenght and masculinity of the male body, from the survival of fittest perspective, and in this era on intelligence and smartness of a man that would eventually relate to a successful family future.

From my own experience however I can say

I do make effort to look natural (as science or media has depicted a Male body to be) when I am going to be seen naked by another person. For this reason, if I have an opportunity I do stimulate or shake around my genital to 'wake it up' a bit. The reason is that in a flaccid state, the penis can be in various positions especially when tucked under tight clothing and underwear, or due to temperature effects.

It could be hiding, bent on one side, or literally sticking to scrotum. If someone has to maneuver it in that state, for example a doctor or nurse, it may not be natural to them. What is shown in medical books is a fit masculine male body with a protruding yet flaccid penis right in the center with a decent size. That creates a pressure to look right in the moment and hence some need for pre adjustment.

Further detail in my case, as I am uncircumcised, in the flaccid state a lot of foreskin does tend to accumulate towards the front of my penis as the member sinks in. Therefore I do pull back the foreskin and bring the member out to make it look natural. This is also helpful if I know in advance that the foreskin will be fully retracted in the near future.

Happy to discuss more.

Nice post! When you say that you “pull back the foreskin, does this mean you fully retract it and present it to the doctor with the head exposed? If tf this is not what you do, please explain in a bit more detail. Thanks and looking forward to your response.

I was seeing the skin specialist at one of those “express care” clinics, due to some pain in the skin over my ribs, right side. Their dermatologist was a lovely eastern European woman in her early 40s, very talkative, friendly and warm.

She had me take off my shirt, and examined the affected area, soon determining there was nothing seriously wrong. She also inspected the skin at my back, my underarms, etc. She then asked, "While you're here, would you like me to do a full-body exam? No extra charge."

That sounded wonderful to me. I agreed, and she nodded. "Take off your pants and underwear, please."

Why are exam rooms so damned cold? I knew that between the temperature and the fact that I was wearing briefs (not boxers) that day, "Sparky" would be tucked into my scrotum. I'm comfortable with my erect length, which stats assure me is above the mean, and I wasn't looking to give her a show... but I was damned if I'd drop my pants in front of this beautiful, vivacious woman with Sparky misleadingly tucked away for the winter.

I made a minor, illusory fuss with my zipper and used the occasion to turn slightly away, to the right, surreptitiously using my right hand to tug Sparky down and out of the hangar while I lowered my briefs to join my now-open pants.

I let my pants and briefs slide to the floor, giving her a view of my hips and newly bare legs, and turned back to face her as I stepped out of them, with still-flaccid Sparky comfortably swaying slightly at what I could feel was adequate bottom-of-scrotum length.

It felt wonderful being fully naked in front of the beautiful, smiling woman in her white lab coat, with the hum of the florescent lights blessing us both.

She either hadn't noticed my covert tug, or wasn't letting on. She conducted a *very* thorough skin exam, including hips, parted hips, my upper thighs, my pubic mound, and when the time came, still chatting freely, she casually lifted Sparky off my scrotum to check his underside. Still holding him with her left hand, she used her right fingertips to smooth out the folds on the front of my nutsack, to inspect the skin there.

With her fingertips on my cock, I was starting to get hard, which she could not have failed to notice. But she took it all in stride, still chatting about growing up as an immigrant in the U.S., and lowered him when her inspection was finished.

During the time she was touching my cock and scrotum, I was SO glad I'd tugged Sparky out of his sleeping bag for that inspection. It only dawned on me, as I was pulling my pants back up, that as thorough and uninhibited as she was, this lovely doctor would probably *have pulled Sparky out, herself*... She couldn't have performed that inspection without doing so. That sensation, of her tugging and pulling him out, would have been well worth any premature underestimation of my length, on her part.

As I finished getting dressed, she said, "I really enjoyed talking with you. It's a good idea to have that kind of exam done once a year, so please let me see you again."

She can count on it. And unless I'm already semi-firm, from thinking about the prior exam, I think I'll skip my tug maneuver next time, and leave everything in her lovely hands.

Continued on my post and inquiry from @exam_doc

Yes I do retract the foreskin to bring out the member, but it is not a full retraction that goes beyond the glans.

It is just enough to move the skin backwards. The urethral opening may just begin to show up or not even.

There is no way I can do a full retraction and hold it until the doctor arrives and gets to that part of the exam. My glans have always remained under the cover protection of the foreskin and are very sensitive. Even the touch of a dry fabric, like underwear or gown causes discomfort. Futher it would be too evident if I retract myself completely, the doctor would know that i have done it deliberately. I do not think in it's normal condition any uncircumcised person's penis remains such that glans are completely exposed and foreskin retracted. The normal is just to have it covered.

This sounds like enough detail but I am happy to answer any questions.
