Men: What position do you prefer to have a digital rectal exam?

My previous Doctor, MALE, did the DRE in the Sims position. Current Doctor, MALE, did the DRE with me standing with elbows on table. I prefer to be bent over the table. However, the last two annual physicals he didn't even do a rectal. I felt cheated. Was embarrassed to ask!~ I think it would be pretty erotic to be laying on back on exam table with legs in stirrups. Probably more embarrassing for the Doctor than me! :-)

I have had a Dre in three of the 4 positions the stirrups being the missing one. The sims position to me is my least favorite it’s just awkward and they really have to hold your cheeks apart and then just roll the finger around. Bending over is more comfortable but starts to be more embarrassing, and since its probably the first way I ever received one on my knees is the most comfortable and my preferred way to have my Dre.

I prefer being in another room

Bent over the exam table, that's normally how I have it done.

My vintage proctology table has sturdy stirrups, but also a padded shelf which pulls out at the end. The knees are placed on the shelf and then the patient bends over at the waist with the chest flat on the table. The pelvis remains elevated off of the table and I have a bolster to put between the knees to keep them spread apart. I am then able to lower the table and tilt it forward lowering the head and raising the bottom. If necessary, I will have you place your hands over your head and I am able to secure your wrists at the end of the table with another strap which goes around the back of the knees locking you in place.

@MissSarah You can examine me. 😜

I have expierences with laying on the left side and in stirrups. I prefer an examination on a special proctology chair if there is one, if their is an examination tabe only, left side with knee bent to waist is the best. The other positios are very humilating.

When I had my initial exam with my urologist, I bent over the table. I asked to lay on the table for my follow up exam. He had me lay on my left side. Besides the rectal, I do want my genital exam done lying on the table. I just figure it would be easier since all I would have to do is roll over on my left side for the rectal

I would love to be able to try stirrups. I think that would add an extra level of exposure and clinical experience to any roleplay exam. It would also mean the Dr wouldn’t be twisting to perform the exam, just able to go between my legs and do what’s required.

I've only had one so far and it was bent over the exam table but I would be willing to try any of these other positions if asked.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

If I had a choice, I would absolutely want to be flat on my back with my legs in stirrups. I mean do disrespect to our female posters here, and what they must endure for their healthcare, but I would like to experience that at least once. Second, would be on my back, with knees drawn to the chest to expose my anus. My DRE has always been to stand on the step the doctor pulls out at the end of the exam table, lean forward over the table and relax.

Any. I once had in stirrups at a occupational health center by female with nurse present . At the time pretty humiliating but led to many fantasy self pleasuring moments for me.

Not that any options are all that comfortable but the most comfortable for me is being on all fours on the exam table with my face and chest down and my buttocks in the air. The only other position I've had is once in a curtained off ward in the hospital, I had to bend over without any table to hold on to. That was not very comfortable and I was most uncomfortable knowing that that curtain could have been pulled open at any time as there were a lot of other people - medical people and patients in there.

In knee chest position on table. And the Dr and 6 Medical students take turns giving me a thorough prostate exam. 😜

In real life I've always been leaning over the table or lying on my left side with legs bent.

In play exams I've experienced knee-chest position as well as “stirrups” fashioned from crutches attached to a table.

All four positions are wonderful, albeit for different reasons.

Another position I would like to experience is flat on my chest, spread-eagle. For some reason, the idea of being told to “spread your legs” is very submissive and emasculating.

I would definitely prefer being in stirrups or on back with knees. pulled to my chest. That way I am able to maintain eye contact with the doctor and converse as needed. Third choice would be hands/elbows and knees on the table. I have been stirrups several times for penile ultrasound exams and ii found it comfortable and easier to take for my lower back.

Any !!!

None, unless they are looking for hemorrhoids or bleeding. For those purpose, whatever position the doc wants is ok with me. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. But for a DRE No position. I will refuse any routine requests.

In a real medical setting, on my side on the table (Sims) would be first choice; standing bent over the table would be second choice. IN A PLAY EXAM, COULD WE DO THEM ALL, PLEASE? And may have to repeat a few to decide…

I like being bent over the end of the treatment table in the doggy position. As a former prostate cancer patient, my urologist gives me a very thorough (and enjoyable, too,) anal exam every six months taking at least a minute or two to do. Enjoying his two fingers feeling around every part of my prostate, I have to restrain myself from saying….MORE….MORE…when he pulls out! I LOVE ANAL!!!!

My favorite by far is bending over the end of the table although, every time I've had a rectal exam in the sims position, I have become instantly erect.

Bent over the table. Once the table was really low, so I put my right knee on it. This gave the doc a great view, and the insertion felt really good.

My rectal exams have been solely with my play doc. During each exam, he has had me get on the table or bed on all fours. He then always puts his hand on the middle of my back and says, “little lower. Bend your knees down and arch your back.” Sometimes he has to tell me to spread my legs a little further apart. Once I’m in the position he wants, he begins the exam.

First digital rectal exam I had I was in my twenties, turns out I had prostatitis, the doctor had me remove my pants and underwear and lay on the table face down and pull up one knee up, as I remember he was not gentle and quickly plunged his finger in my behind, when he pressed on my prostate it felt like my penis was on fire, prescribed some meds and all was good in a few days, now some forty years later all other dre’s were done with pants and underwear down and bent over the table.

After age 50, now 67, I started receiving Dre’s annually, one female Dr and the rest male.

Knee chest and last about 10-15 mins. 😉

Laying flat on the exam table with legs pulled up, exposing the anus

Definitely bent all the way over the exam table.

On back, knees bent and back on chest, legs apart.

Bent over. On all fours.

I've never had the fourth, the one with the stirrups. But have had the other three that you list.

There are two other common ones: On my side with one or both legs drawn up, and then on a tilt table. I've had both of those as well.
