People are allowed to talk about their experiences.

GET OVER IT.

If you don’t like reading about pediatric stuff, then you DON’T have to. There is no reason to ruin it for the people who want to read about it.

I think there is a line. I suspect my interest grew from my early exam experinces therefore it makes sense that those experinces can be shared here on the forum. If its not pseudopornographic story then i think its ok, they tend to be pretty obvious when made up. In that instance ruth has a point but peoples experinces are free to share.

Isn't that the topic of this thread??

For many of us, this was the genesis of our medical fetish. We derived sexual gratification from having our genitals examined and began to view medical exams as a sexual experience. Since we were too young to have experienced sex, genital exams filled the void. Even as we became older and experienced sex, we still maintained the connection made during our childhood. This discussion is an attempt to relive those memories.

Until 10 years old, it was only visual exam, but after that the pediatrician retracted my foresknin, and touched my scrotum.

My pediatrician just did a quick peak at my genitals when i was younger but in my teens did a little more closer exam on my genitals

Genital exams were definitely touch when I was little, but from age 9 or 10 onward (maybe younger, I don't remember details of any exam before that), they were visual only until I was a teenager.

Nude from the start. usually just visual.

Mine were always visual and hands on. My doctor had a very gentle touch.

Both in my memories, especially by the school doctor, it was first a visual exam and after a touching examination with palpation and rolling over of the testicles, and so on ..

My pediatrician gave me a genital exam each visit for as long as I can remember. He would have me naked for the exam up until age 12 or 13. He would give the rest of the exam naked and then told me “spread wide like a frog” as i laid on the table while he spread and examined my vagina. He then would have me roll over so he could check my anus. At ages 12 and 13, he would allow my panties to remain on until the genital exam, which consisted of him pulling down my panties while i laid on the table and the nurse held my legs open while he slipped a finger into each my vagina and rectum, which made me cry. At older ages, he would give me breast exams, swabs in my vagina and rectum, digital rectal exams, and enemas.

Wow that sounds really intense

Agree that this is intense, maybe abusive. Was there an underlying medical condition that might warrant that invasive of an exam?? Someone with more of a medical background may be able shed light on why a doctor would need - or not need - to do this. Catalina is pretty young so this is recent.

Only visual

I saw a few different pediatricians and it varied. When I was very small I had a male doctor. He examined me completely undressed until around age 6. Then he retired. The new pediatrician was a female. She examined me in just panties until I was ten and would ask me to pull my panties to my knees, and would very gently open my legs to look quickly at my private area.

After that I started developing breasts. I was allowed to wear a tank top for sick visits with the male partner, but for yearly physical exams I was told to undress to panties and wear the gown with the opening to the back. The doctor started asking me to lower panties to ankles, and would use a lamp to illuminate the area better. Then she would put on rubber gloves and tell me to just relax, this won't hurt, I'm just going to look at your vagina, nothing is going inside of it. And she would open my outer labia and look at my vaginal opening. She would ask if it hurt or I had any questions, and that was that.

The year I was 15 she examined me the most extensively as I had started menstruating and had developed heavily over the previous year, so a more in depth exam seems warranted to me in that circumstance.

For me, it was a combination of visual and touching. Typically, every exam began with my stripped down to my underwear & sitting on the table when the doctor entered the exam room. First , while still sitting up doctor would pull out or pull down the front of the briefs taking a quick look at my penis and testicles. Then once I was on my back after the abdominal exam he’d pull the front of my underwear down the several occasions where the doctor actually had me lift up my butt and pulled my underwear down. Normally, he’d move my penis around exam my glans after retracting my foreskin. Then proceeded to my scrotum & testicles also checking for a hernia. Once I was 11 or 12, began also having me stand up for the genital and hernia exam. Every exam, my doctor himself would pull my briefs down so from then on concluded with me completely nude and my briefs on the floor.

It was always both and as I got older there was more emphasis on those parts. Along with that came more anxiety since you knew it meant being exposed each time!

Visual only, until I was 16, then there was limited touching

At one point, during a physical at school, I had my testicles palpated by the doctor. I think she was checking both were there.

At another point, a doctor attempted to retract my foreskin.

I don't have much recollection of either.

My pediatrician never had me lower my underwear, he just used to lift the elastic and slip his hand down and feel my genitals like that. My first full genital exam was probably when I was around 24. I hadn't been to a doctor in years and that was technically my first adult physical so it was very complete.

Always touch at least as much as I remember though I always remember having my pediatrician have to give me a hernia exam and before that checking if both of my testicles were there

Always touch.

Take off my tighty whities and stand there in front of the doctor with my feet spread slightly apart. My penis usually is hard by this point, testicles hanging free. He examines my penis, which feels amazing, then my testicles, and then does the hernia exam.

Still haven't gotten a rectal exam.

Just visual. Had my Labia spread apart when I was young and that was it. No touch except the Labia.

Always touch.

What does the doctor to do examine your penis?

Vaginal and rectal exams and enemas?? --- enemas? --- PLURAL??

That's not something pediatricians generally do.

What were the enemas for?

Good point about the enemas Susie!

If you did get an enema during an exam - did you have to walk down the hall to the rest room to relieve yourself - or did they have a toilet in the exam room?? I don't ever recall having an accessible toilet in an exam room.

It is a bit suspicious to me.

So it is for me Susie
