More chats & phone conversations about physical exam experiences when younger

There are others who have gone through what I did--having a thorough pediatrician who did not respect modesty. I talked to a girl age 21 in Cape Cod (think thats somewhere up north) who went to her pediatrician till she was 18. She had to get naked in front of him. She laid on her stomach or was bent over for rectal exams. She admitted she got her temps taken orally so that makes me think she was not lying about her other experiences and trying to keep me on the phone sex line. If she wanted to turn someone on you would think she would say her temps were taken rectally. Like I , she loves the feeling of the tissue paper.

A gay guy in Texas, 22, said on a gay chat site that he got rectal exams on his stomach totally naked as a teen and loved it.

Neither of these had gowns. Woud like to hear experiences from others my age or younger (30s or 20s) who did not.

I never got a gown for a physical exam until I was an adult. Even my pre-employment physical at work was done in my underwear. From toddler to high school it was pretty much the same, strip to your underpants and st some point they were taken off or you were asked to take them off. Never any concern for modesty. The only time I had a gown was in the hospital or when I had x-rays.

I don't think most exams have gowns for kids, that's something that happens when older.

Cape Cod is north for most, but south for Maine. It always helps to give us at least a general time period here, since gowns appeared in perhaps the late 90's, so many of us who saw pediatricians long before that were likely in briefs only if male, and underwear only as adults, with doctors mixed in who had adult male patients undressed completely during the exams.

I have never worn an exam gown for my physical exams. While growing up, I was always undressed to my briefs. Since I have been seeing an internist, I have always been undressed down to my boxers.

Children don't get gowns.

They undress down to their underwear.

They do not sit around naked.

I would be interested in hearing about the experiences of females from that era, namely those who visited the pediatrician until reaching adulthood. It would be interesting to see if they were subjected to similar circumstances during their yearly physicals.
