Teenage Genital Exams

Before I was 12, I remember the doctor checking my genitals once or twice. It was an old male doctor. He pulled down my panties to my ankles and had me pull my heels up to my buttocks. He parted my knees and put a finger very very gently on either side of my slit. He pulled back lightly so that he could see my inner lips and introitus, then immediately let go. That tingled a little, presumably because he was moving the skin above my clitoris. He'd then pull my butt cheeks the same way to look at my anus. It took seconds, but felt creepy and not fun at all.

A woman doctor at our practice had me kneel, panties down, sitting on my heels, and then bend forward. That was my first experience of vagina and anus viewed from the back. Curiously, I remember thinking that it felt good and wasn't embarrassing. After that, I went home and tried to see myself naked in that position in the mirror. I loved the look of my hairless lips from behind.

Around 12, the doctor gave a quick peek down my panties. I don't know what that was really for; all he could see was my slit, closed, from the top, and a few wisps of hair. I remember when I was about 12, the doctor said "she's developing normally" and smiled at my mother. I was positive that my mother and the doctor just liked making me feel humiliated. That may not have been true, but it was how it felt to me.

There was never a time when my genital were not examined. The only question was when and if the briefs would be lowered or totally removed! "Lift up" as the doctor grabbed the waistband of my briefs was the direction I received and then feeling them slip down below my buttocks and lower. The last doctor I saw would have them come all the way off and examine me then make me stand for the hernia exam and embarrassing spread of my butt cheeks to view that aspect of my body. I also went home and would replay the order of the exam when alone. "Lift up" still sends chills!

"Pull down your pants" was our "lift up". We knew it was coming from the beginning of the exam. Our underpants came off, the doctor checked our genitals then made us get in the knee-chest position and spread our cheeks for a visual back there.

"Pull down your pants" was our "lift up".

I saw the same pediatrician for all my physicals from 11-18. He was the first doctor to do a visual and palpatory examination of the genitalia. I was always stripped to my briefs and every exam ended with the genital/hernia as the grand finale. The first two years he examined me, the genital examination was done with me lying supine and the doctor pulling down the fronts of my briefs without saying anything to let me know it was about to happen. He did not have m lift up as my briefs went down plenty far to give full exposure. Starting when I was 13, instead of doing the genital with me lying supine he started having me stand next to the table and the doctor said “slip your britches down.” The exam always consisted of spreading the urethral meatus, palpating each testicle, and “turn your head and cough” instruction. I have reflected back upon those experiences and pondered the reason for his changing the exam process from supine with him lowering my briefs to standing with the command to lower them. My conclusion was that he was doing it for me the first two times so I would know how much exposure of the genitalia he expected and then allowed me to take over doing the honors.

When I was younger the pediatrician use to spread my pussy and just visually look at my clit and slit. One time though my stomach kept hurting and I had to go to a special doctor when I was about 10 and she had me lay on my side and pulled my panties down (I was wearing a dress) and told me to breathe and then put her finger in my rectum. I had no idea she was about to do that and my mom was sitting right there. It was so embarrassing. From that moment on though I loved having my butt played with.

My pediatrician always did a complete genital exam on me at every yearly physical. After the abdominal exam, he usually would say "I know this next part may be embarrassing or uncomfortable but I need to check you for a hernia and examine your genitals. It is important to make sure that all parts of your body are healthy. Please stand up and come stand in front of me." He put gloves on and I walked to stand in front of him as he sat down in a chair. He then would pull out the front of my underwear for a visual of my pubic area. He next would insert a finger into one of my inguinal canals and had me turn my head and cough. He then would insert a finger into the other inguinal canal and have me turn my head and cough. Upon conclusion of checking me for a hernia, he next would usually say "I now need to examine your penis and testicles to make sure that they are healthy." He then would lower the front of my underwear to just below my scrotum and then proceed to palpate my penis and testicles. He then would have me turn around and examine my buttocks and spread my cheeks for a visual of my anus. Upon conclusion, he would tell me to pull up my underwear and get dressed.

I remember when I was about 13 years old, the woman doctor lowered my panties and discovered the my foreskin. She looked at the foreskin and touched it. This part lasted about 30 seconds. I was super embarrassed.

I do not remember ever NOT having a genital exam during a physical exam.

A testicle examination was actually an item listed on our sports physical forms.

It is an especially interesting experience for a teenage boy while his mother is in the exam room.

My genital exams before puberty involved retraction of my foreskin and a “feel” of my testes. When I got to 11, the foreskin retraction continued, but then I had to drop my underpants, previously the examinations had involved having the elastic in my underpants being pulled forward. I suppose that visual inspection for pubic hair growth (I had none at 11) is far easier with underpants lowered, and it is difficult to do a hernia check unless the doctor can cup the scrotum and testes. I imagine that genital exams were important as it is the main sign as to how we were progressing through puberty, hernia checks are important for fitness in sports (although how many adolescents have hernias) and the doctor can check various issues with regards the foreskin for those of us who were uncut. I also think we remember the genital exam above any other aspect of the examination.

To my best recollection, all of my exams as a boy and young teen involved a genital exam. No rectal exams or enemas. Only oral temperatures that I can remember (except for a rectal temp in a hospital ER when I fell into a pond).

I always wore white briefs at that age. Don't think I knew what boxer shorts were until I was in high school. Can't remember if I was lying down or standing for most of the testicular exams. The other thing I don't remember are gloves. I don't think doctors in the late 70s and early 80s used gloves for routine exams back then. (My dentist and orthodontist I went to as a kid didn't use them, either.) So it was bare hands on my prepubescent penis and scrotum.

This was my experience as well. The doctors that I saw during the ‘70s and ‘80s did the genital and hernia exams with bare hands. In fact, a doctor I saw for one physical in the mid 90s, who did my first rectal exam, did the genital and hernia exams with bare hands, and then put a finger cot on his right index finger to do the rectal exam. This was a vivid memory to which I have masturbated many times. There is absolutely no doubt what is going to happen when the examiner puts on a finger cot! Anyway, I like it since all doctors now do the genital exam with gloves adds another dramatic cue as to what is about to happen. The doctor does the abdominal exam and then is getting the gloves on his hands as he starts to give the instructions for the big reveal.

The exams I had through school during the 1970s and 1980s were carried out by doctors who never wore gloves. My gp did not wear gloves either. It has only been more recently that I have been examined by doctors wearing gloves, but I can’t recollect when this started.

I don't recall gloves until the advent of AIDS made bodily fluids a hazardous substance.

That would make sense. I had left school by then, and all the exams I had as a kid, by whatever doctor, they did not wear gloves for any part of the exam.

My genitals have always been examined by the doctor ever since I can remember. From the time of childhood to into my teenage years, the doctor would always check my genitals, I don't remember not having my genitals examined and worse having my mother in the exam room watching as well while the doctor did examine my genitals and speaking to my mother about my "growth & development".

Like most of you, I don't remember to have had an inspection of my penis and balls with a doctor, male or female, wearing gloves when I was a student in the last 50's or beginnings of 60's in France. I believe that it was very uncommon for a medical person to use gloves in such casual situtions. It was only in hospitals that the doctors wore gloves. Otherwise they performed the examination with their bare hands and washed carefully them after.

At that time we had a compulsory annual physical examination each year of school at middle and high school and it included always a serious examination of the genitals and a check of hernia, I was examined in the nude, especially at high school by a woman doctor who used her hands, they were cold but she did not wear gloves, she always washed her hands in a sink with soap after the examination which included not only a visual inspection but also a palpation of the testicles, a rolling of them under her fingers one after one, a lifting of the penis, even an opening of the urethral top of the penis.

And it was the same at a private doctor office if I had an examination of penis and balls. It was practiced by a male doctor without gloves.

And always the same after graduation of high school at physical examinations in university and superior school. The doctor touched the penis and balls without a glove at his hands.

And may be less surprising , the military doctors did not use gloves to touch our penis and balls or to spread the cheeks of our butts at the draft physical examination, it was always bare hands, even to insert a finger in our rectum for our first check of the prostate , we were clean since we had been forced to take a shower under supervision of non commissioners officers and our cleanliness had been checked.

It was an other time when the use of gloves was not wide spread in the medical field like it is today

I'd have to assume my genitals had been examined yearly by my pediatrician since I was born. Had the same pediatrician for nineteen years, last time visiting him was for a quick check-up, but I really needed him to fill out and authorize some paperwork before I headed off to college.

@esaterman I could see all of it with the exception of the prostate exam. Getting bodily fluids and sludge from one person to another would be very risky unless hands and fingers are washed extremely well. Think of all the ridges and whatnot we have on our hands. Then to slip that into another rectum without being washed well... well, that’s just, not good!

I never went to my pediatrician (or any doctor until recent years) for annual physical exams. The only times I saw her were during sickness visits, and she never looked at or examined my genitals. The only times my pants were lowered were for hernia exams required for school sports physicals. I had those when I was 10, 11, & 13 by three different doctors (only my exam at 11y.o. was from my pediatrician). The next time my genitals were looked at or examined were for hernia exams required for pre-employment physicals at age 25 and then again for a new job at 27. The only time I've ever received a genital exam during an annual physical with my PCP was earlier this year at 46 years old. After reading some of the posts in this thread, I can't decide if I dodged a bullet (embarrassment) or really missed out on some great experiences... ?

As a kid, my doctor would always do a quick hernia exam which involved dropping my underwear to my knees while standing, but never did any examination of my genitals other than that. He'd always be wearing gloves and it was very quick and respectful, trying to minimize embarrassment. This continued when I had a new doctor in my teens, who conducted them exactly the same as my pediatrician (and he'd only conduct one every few years when it was required on a form).

In my early twenties, however, I had a doctor who went a lot further. He would always have me strip to my boxers to start, and when it came time to palpate my abdomen, he would pull my underwear down slightly while I was lying down. After pressing all around my pubic region, he would remove them in order to "perform a quick testicular cancer check". Oddly, this check involved a close examination of my penis, including a retraction of the foreskin, in addition to feeling around my testicles. He never wore gloves. The final time I saw him was particularly memorable as he asked me to flip over so he could examine my anus. I did so and he spent about 30 seconds pulling apart and probing the outside, though he didn't stick a finger inside.

I knew all this was completely inappropriate, but it turned me on (m/m doctor exams have been my fetish since my teens) so I never objected. I changed jobs and insurance soon after the exam where he checked my butthole, so I never saw him again. I often wonder if the exams would have gotten more and more invasive if I'd had more physical exams with him. I found out later by Googling him that he had been accused by multiple other male patients of inappropriateness during exams, which tended to escalate over time. He's never been charged as far as I can tell, but at least a couple men had posted stories online that were similar to mine (though he went a bit further with them). I have to imagine, though, that I wasn't the only one to enjoy these "extra" exams.

From what I know about thorough examinations, none of what you describe sounds inappropriate. I am certain that those more medically schooled will have the same opinion.

Older members - born in 40s/50s - will most likely think nothing of what you thought was inappropriate. For them such would have been standard procedure in many cases. Society is just getting more prudish by the year and your ideas will inevitably reflect those of the decade you were growing up in.

I agree with you about the risk for a prostate exam with a finger in the rectum without a glove but it was an other time and it was not a common exam for young persons.

I must add that since I am an adult, each time ( not often), I need such an exam, it is always performed by a doctor who is wearing a glove.

The check prostate is more often part of the examination of a middle aged or old man.

So these examinations are rather practiced at recent days when the use of glove is regular.

I have related examinations at school, it was in the last 50's and 60's or beginning of 70's and it was a different time but except for military service ( just one time), I had only genitals inspections. Even the visual inspection of the penis was very seldom ( it was only for military service and at the army that it was a standart part of the examination ) I had never a finger inserted in the rectum.

Each doctor at schooll was washing her hands between the examination of each boy student.

And the military doctor who was the only one to do it knew that we were clean because we had just before the exam been ordered to take a shower group and it was under supervision of non commisioners officers who were very strict about the respect of their ordersand checked that we washed all parts of our body properly, besides the military doctor washed very well his hands between each draftee.

But I am sure that he would not do it today without a glove... times have changed

In my youth, I recall occasional “peeks” inside the panties at physicals when I was like in grades five through seven, maybe. They stopped, if I remember correctly, once I was well along the way through puberty and now its left to the gynecologist.

I would say maybe it’s just a really important part of an exam, especially for teenagers in order to assess how they are developing. I’m sure there are also times that genital exams are skipped over, but I would guess people (esp on here) are less likely to talk about those experiences as they are not as interesting. Just my thoughts, no idea if that’s right or not.

I never had one in my teenage years only when I was much younger

Almost all time during exam I had panties, genital exam was every time at the end of examination.

Doctor ask me for undressing panties and then I had to lay down on my belly on exam table. Doctor few times tap at my back, where I have kidnees, then he open my butt and quickly check my anus.

After that I turned and lay down at my back. He told me to put heels to my butt and he palpate my belly. After palpation he took my knees and put them to a sides. Very carefully open my inner labia at the top and looked at my clitoris, then opened me below and check my introitus.

Once, my regular doctor was away and the deputy doctor asked me to lean forward and touch the ground with fingers. He ran with fingers over the back and check my spine, which was what my doctor did everytime too. But then he pulled my panties down to my knees, spread my ass and looked at my anus and vagina. I was shocked, I didn't expect it at all. After this experience, I was very happy for my doctor and if my doctor wasn't in the office, I always left and came another time.

Because of genital exam I everytime afraid to go to doctor for yearly exam. Everything was very quicly, but I was every time like paralized.

When I was a kid, I never had any physical exam for any public school I attended, which was three different ones. It was not required in Texas. The only thing that was required was a smallpox vaccination before starting first grade. No kindergarten back then. The only "physical exam" that I had in school was done in the gym by a medical doctor for the guys that went out for football. It was a quick listen to the hear, the hernia exam and basically that was it. I grew up in a time when most people only went to a doctor if they were hurt or really sick. There was no medical insurance back then either so most people just didn't have the money to spend on doctors.

I feel sure when I was very young the doctor probably checked to see if I was developing normally, but I was too young to remember that. My first memory of going to the doctor was when I was six and went for that smallpox vaccination. I watched him do it the whole time. He took a glass tube with a rough edge and twisted it back and forth on my arm to scratch the skin. It didn't hurt at all. Then he dropped some liquid on the cut skin and covered the spot with a bandage that had a clear plastic cap over the vaccination so nothing touched it. We were all warned at school not to touch it or bump another kid's vaccination until they healed.

I did have to get a physical exam from a doctor before starting college and had to have proof of a recent smallpox vaccination. The doctor gave me the smallpox vaccination and said it may not take if my immunity was still active. It was so he signed off on that.

The doctors checked my genitals every time. Some took more time than others: palpation of the testicles, examination of the whole penis (lengthening of the penis, palpation over the whole length, cap-removal, crushing of the glans to check the urinary meatus, checking for pubic hair and sometimes stretching movements to provoke an erection).

For my wife, each examination was bare breasts and palpated but she only had a visual examination of her genitals. Some doctors pulled the elastic off her panties and others pulled her panties down but none examined her vulva!

...(lengthening of the penis, palpation over the whole length, cap-removal, crushing of the.....!

Cap removal ?

@JTMac maybe pulling back the foreskin?
