Teenage Genital Exams

@MotherLauraSpain I agree it was definitely a time of change from around 12 upwards. My foreskin was retracted by the dr, although they had been doing this from a younger age. They became more interested in my testicles, and examined them by rolling them between fingers, and the hernia checks began. They also inspected my anus, visually. I think there was more of a focus on development, for obvious reasons, and the examinations felt more detailed. Foreskin retraction was always embarrassing and intimate. The doctor was always very efficient, and pulled it back to check. and moved on.

What sensations did you have? Did you expect a genital inspection or did you think that they were not going to do anything to you because "you were no longer a child"?

You are right up until 12 or 13 I can’t remember which exactly but where I lived the pediatrician always retracted the forskin themselves and although not particularly pleasant having a male do it, it wasn’t a big deal. When my stepmother switched to a female pediatrician at age 10 it was more embarrassing because i would be lying on the table and she would take my underwear right off first and then immediately retract my foreskin with my stepmother in the room. Then at 12 or 13 I got an erection in front of both of them as soon as she started to touch my penis. I remember my face burning red and then every year before the exam I would be anxious for a couple days about the embarrassment and sexual feelings to come.

What kind of sexual sensations did the revision and, in particular, the retraction of the foreskin produce in you? What did you feel just knowing that you had to go to a review at the pediatrician?

My Doc used the orchidometer first at 16. She checked my testicle Volume. Felt weird the first Time.

I had a strong anticipation of what will happen. I was completely aroused as soon as i had to undress

I had regular genital exams from 13 to college with my pediatrician At my annual physical. Between 13-16 I also had a genital exam between physicals. My pediatrician used tanner staging and at 13 I had no growth testicles hadn’t decended and no pubic hair but was well along in other aspects of puberty. So 6 months after a physical I would go see her just to take a look an examine. Those exams usually were more detailed since that was all that was being checked, I would start with just a sheet over my lap and legs. She would move that down examine me on the table and then have me stand up and leave the sheet behind. When she was done I would just be left to get dressed, these exams are probably a huge part of my medfet since somehow being told in your teens that your penis is underdeveloped as a woman checks and Handles your genitals is erotic.

Did things right themselves? Did your body catch up? Was there any treatment or intervention?

I remember googling “orchidometer” one time because I didn't know what one was. If I saw a woman doctor holding that after she asked me to expose myself to her, I'd think she was coming over to give my cock that to wear as a necklace.

On a sideways day, I'd say to her, “Is it THAT worthy of worshipping that you're gonna pray the rosary to it?”

Yes, 50% of the school medical examination focused on the examination of the genitals. As a teenager, some doctors, as soon as you entered the room, asked you to pull down your underwear or to take it off. Then I was allowed to have my testicles unhooded and palpated. Some doctors would stretch the penis until it became erect. Then auscultation, examination of the spine and for some doctors, spreading the buttocks to look at or touch the anus.

Would have been interesting (to say the least) to have had one of those doctors, especially female

@JTMac : Only once in a school medical examination was it a female doctor. She also pulled down the panties but did not stretch the penis.

Then I was allowed to have my testicles unhooded and palpated. Some doctors would stretch the penis until it became erect. to look at or touch the anus.

When you think about it, a sexual reaction to stimulus of the genitals is an important aspect of health and well-being. A sexual dysfunction is something to be worried about, health-wise and psychologically-wise. A penis that cannot erect or insufficiently, is a serious matter.

Yet, of course, medical exams do not cover this aspect. It would certainly not be considered acceptable to expressly and routinely test for a proper and healthy erection function.

But just imagine if this were routinely checked for in an ideal world.

Gave me a chuckle thinking about being tested 😄

@V10

My experiences were similar except that my exams usually began with ausculation, then quickly moved to the genital and hernia exams. Spine was always checked and then sometimes the anus as well.

So, imagine a doctor telling a young woman or girl, “I’m going to check your level of lubrication when sexually stimulated.”

that would just classify as abuse.

Of course it would classify as abuse in our culture.

But just suppose that a doctor checked all the important physical conditions and responses needed for someone to have a truly, all-rounded healthy body. It's hard to logically argue that a healthy sexual response is not an important aspect of one's general health.

I was just trying to point how illogical it is to exclude checking for sexual health and function. It's never going to happen of course, because of cultural factors, but culture can be so utterly illogical at times.

@agracier

To clarify your position, do you advocate assessing sexual response for both genders or just males?

For goodness sake. I don't advocate anything. I hope you don't think I am serious. I was simply pointing out how illogical and culturally determined a thorough medical exam actually is.

If society were really concerned about a growing person's total health development, then checking on sexual response would actually be part of a routine exam. Of course it's not going to happen. Anyone can see that.

Maybe consider what I said as a good premise to base a stand-up sketch on. Lots of humor consists in pointing out how illogical and hypocritical many of our cultural axioms actually are.

Damn!!!! I’m not sure where you all went to the doctors but if a doctor examined your genitals every visit that would be very concerning. Once a child turns 12 that’s when the doctor starts talking about sex and puberty during check ups and check ups only. also once the patient is old enough that’s when the doctor starts performing a external genita exam unless they are sexually active still the youngest age that I have heard with someone being examined with a speculum was 14-15 yrs old. But typically a woman does not receive a internal until she is 18-21 but mainly 21. If a doctor was doing a internal on a 13 year old or younger that would be abuse in the states unless there was something actually requiring that examination.

I see another problem. Not all men have a spontaneous erection at the doctor, it must be a minority (except on Zity). It would therefore be necessary to induct an erection with an injection, it would be invasive and could have side effects and contraindications.

If we wanted to give teenagers this opportunity to show their erected penis, they could take a photo at home and show it to the doctor, without obligation. It could be useful in case of curvature.

I remember having my first Genital Exam. The nurse was still in the room, which made me a bit embarrassed. The Doctor had me stand up and open my legs. As soon as he touched my Penis I could feel myself getting arroused. I looked at the nurse as she watched, and I probably had a bright red face. When the Doctor felt around my testicles I gat an erection. He didn't put his finger in my butt, but rubbed my perineum and I could feel my self getting aroused, and I saw a little precum as did the nurse, which made me more embarrassed. When he was done, I was told to get dressed and I was through with my exam.

My school medical examinations always included a genital exam. The main part of the examination with the doctor was always in underwear, which I would be required to drop or remove for the genital exam. This usually involved palpation of the testes and penis, retraction of the foreskin and visual inspection of the anus.

@NerdyEnglishLad While palpation of the testes and retraction of the foreskin seem “classic”, visual inspection of the anus seems more unusual. What did they hope to diagnose? Hemorrhoids? Signs of anal sex?

According to Cambridg.org:

• Pain

• Prolapse

• Pruritus

• Incontinence

• Abnormal discharge: pus, mucus, blood

• Anal trauma or intercourse

• Past medical history of Crohn's disease

@Pecan_nutjob I can confirm that inspection of the anus formed part of my exams in the 70s and 80s. It was visual. I imagine they were checking for hygiene matters, haemorrhoids, fissures etc. it was over fairly quickly, but embarrassing nonetheless.

The purpose of looking at the anus was never explained to me but it was always a very brief part of the exam.
