Guys - when young, what position were you placed in for exam of your genitals

Generally in my back with legs spread. Current Dr does it on my back with knees pulled up to my chest. I get the finger in that position as well.

Mostly standing. I remember lying on my back once

My doctor has me lie on my back on the table after taking off my tighty whities.

Then he has me stand up and he examines my testicles again. He said that he can feel different parts of my testicles lying down and standing.

Then he examines my penis and does the cough-cough hernia exam.

For testicular exam mostly familiar with standing.

Depends on how young you mean regarding the poll, as a teen the doctor decided to snap on a pair of gloves and I had a genital exam standing up, prior to that I was told to lay on my back and open my legs a little bit so the doctor could have a quick feel and peek

The only times I got a specific genital exam was when I was 14 and 15 and in both of those instances, I was first examined lying on the exam table with my pants pulled all the way down, and my knees bent open. I then had to hop down and I was examined again standing.

Until I was 7 or 8, the dr. did it with me lying down.

Then we changed doctors and since then, they have always done it with me standing, except once when I was 15, it was done with me lying down.

I got check ones, I was 12. I was at the clinic for a little cough, she did the usual check then lower my briefs and examined my balls i was about to cry

I travel a lot for my work and I have had four ways standing laying down, on all fours, and on knees hands behind head.

Always was sitting and doctor just did a quick look through underwear

I was laying down up until about 6th grade. And there on it was standing and sometimes I was laying down. Currently .... I haven't had my genitals touched or even looked at in 5 plus years. Yup not even a hernia check. I'm switching doctors.

When younger I had a lot of nut checks because my cousin who was several years older had testicular cancer. Pediatrician always had me stand feet to the side a bit and my bits hanging down.

Always standing

Standing in front of female doctor as she sit on a chair

laying and standing

I've always been standing in front of the doc.

he would be on a stool and i would be too far away in my underwear and he would tell me to come and stand right in front of him and to the side. he would tell me to pull my pants down and then feel my balls. the would turn me around facing him and then to the other side with his hands on my hips or side and do the thing again as well as hold y penis between his thumb and forefinger.

never had to lay on my back, just told to stand and wait, most of times the doctor was sitting, and sometimes he did lower himself my underwear.

standing in front of him just in tighty whities. he then would lower my tighty whities and get to work.

Normally standing up, but more thorough examination additional exam laying on my back

Until last year, I've only been examined standing up (for the hernia exam). Last here I had an issue down below and I was examined laying down, which I found to be much more embarassing.

Generally both position (lying down and standing)

Up until about age 12, it was done with me laying down and the dr just lowering my underwear. After age 12 (or so), it was standing, and given the old "turn your head and cough" exam.

He said "cough" and all that I could do was groan.

i don't think i ever have had such a exam

i was examined both laying down and then standing for the hernia exam

I only remember being examined while laying down, the doctor would have my raise my butt and slide my boxers down.

My exam as a procedure was pretty much like what svensson described before in France. The exam was performed while I was standing in front of a doctor who was sitting.

both laying down first then have to stand for the hernia test

usually standing... but i've also been examined on my back with my legs spread and on my side while my prostate was checked(interesting feeling while catheterized)

I had genitals exam 4 times in my life by 3 different doctors and I was always asked to stand during it. It was always quiet embarassing.

only standing

Until I reached the age of 13 I would lie on my back and the doctor would just lower my underpants down to my knees and look at my penis and move it around a bit and check for any kind of discharge from it then when I turned 13 it was stand up drop underpants and turn your heads and cough.

It was always done to me standing up with my underwear lowered to the middle of my thigh. Then my doctor would ask me to cough several times.

I was lying down on my back and had to pull my underpants down whilst I had the Dr and a group of medical students all peering over me on the bed. I felt so embarrassed as I was totally naked now and they could all see the Dr examining my penis.

Always laying on my back and the Doctor would slide my briefs down to my knees , until I was 11 or 12. Standing and he would slide them down from 12 until I was 15 or so . After that he would tell me to lower them .

I never was given any choice, just expected to do whatever he told me to.

I was on all 4s with chest down and knees apart. I was very vulunerable in that position.

I have been examined laying on my back , standing and on my left side..it was my frist rectal.

when i was young i was always examined while on my back

Standing

When I was young, I always was laying down legs spread. As an adult, it has always been done standing.

My first time. I was 7 or 8. Doc told me to unfasten my pants and lower my underpants to the floor and go over to him. He was halfway across the room on a rolling stool. My dick stood straight up. It must have looked comical to see me walking with my pants and underwear around my ankles.

In later years, and recently; I am in tighty whites and he tells me to lower my briefs. I let them fall to the floor and step out of them. He sits on his rolling stool and I am standing in front of him. He tells me to stand with my feet apart so he can examine me for hernias. He checks the boys, inspecting each one, rolling them between thumb and fingers, and tells me he is checking for lumps, palming and squeezing a little and having me turn my head and cough for each testicle, then feeling and pressing my abdomen for hernias and having me cough again and again, he pushes two fingers up into my sack and pushes real hard, way up to the inquinal ring, it burns, and he tells me to relax and to grunt hard and bear down hard like trying to go number two.

The rectal comes after that and I have to bend over the exam table and reach back with both hands and pull my buttocks open wide for the exam. I hear the snap of the glove, and then feel the ky and then his finger up me and checking and says he is feeling for signs of hemmoroids,and then he finds the prostate and slowly fingers it, all sides. He asks me if I can pee alrignt, and if there is any pain or discomfort. He has pressed on that prostate so hard at times that a discharge, not ejaculation, came out my penis.

Had to take my underpants off and stand naked with legs slightly apart in front of the doctor (stayed completely undressed for the rest of the exam)

I want to say when I was young, and had my genitals checked, I was laying on the table, and the dr. lowered my shorts.

When I was growing up and even into my early 20's all of my genital exams were done with me lying face up on the exam table, usually nude, with my legs spread and the doc would begin checking my chest area and move down to my genital area. For the hernia check I have always stood, even in recent years.

I was always standing for the genital exam. Before age 12 the doctor always lowered my underwear for the exam; at age 12 and after he would tell me to take off my underwear. Then he would do the exam. If he had me in a gown, he would tell me to remove it. Then I was completely naked for the exam.

As a kid, my doctor always finished my physical with the genital exam. She would begin by having me lie down on the exam table, then she would pull my underwear down to my ankles. Then she would proceed to examine my penis very thoroughly, first on the outside and then she would hold the base of my penis with one hand while pulling my foreskin as far as she could with the other. She would put her thumb and pointer finger on opposite sides of the head, and then slowly retract my foreskin, followed by her then examining my urethral opening by squeezing the head of my penis. (That part always seemed to take forever.) Then she would return my foreskin to it's normal position and would have me stand in front of her for the hernia exam.

I was always examined lying down, with my legs spread. He would touch my penis and

testicles and pull back my foreskin.

I was usually sitting at the end of the table in my underwear and the doctor would slip his hands down my underpants to perform the exam

Most of the time I am examined lying down with my legs spread apart. lately, perhaps because I have a bad back, my internist moves the back of the table up a bit and places my feet in stirrups thus enabling a better opportunity to examine my scrotum, perenium, rectum and prostate. My urologist, which I have seen several times, also uses stirrups in a supine position.

When I was young, I always was laying down, legs slightly spread. As an adult, it has always been done standing.

When I was 14 I was examined for sex abuse , Never before or since have I been through any thing as bad . not even what I went through to get there.

I had the same pediatrician until my family moved when I was 13 y/o. She always checked me lying down. My new doctor checked me standing up.

For school exams I would be standing up but for my doctor exams i'd be laying down legs spread wide open and feet in stirrups.

I was lying down flat on the table!

At my school medicals i wos always standing in front of the doctor with my leggs spread wide apart my underpants pulled down to my knees

In the 13 years he was medical examination at school.

The doctor - a woman. I was completely naked.

When she inspected my genitals, erections occurred

When the doctor checks my genitals, it is almost always standing up. I can remember only one occasion when I was checked laying down, and I'm not sure that that qualifies: I don't think that he was actually checking my genitals, but while I was laying on the table, he reached inside my underpants and felt my pubic mound for swelling. It wasn't a genital check, technically, but it was almost more embarrassing, having another guy shoving his hand between my legs inside my underwear...

As a kid my penis and testicles were always examined while I was lying with my legs slightly spread

growing up i was always examined lying down...the dr wolud pull the front of my underwear down and feel around for a few seconds

For my school physicals it was actually both. I'd be lying down when the doc would pull my boxers down to examine my stuff and I'd then be asked to hop down off the bed for him to do the hernia check.

I usually had it done lying down but sometimes standing.

penis foreskin and testicals ussauly examined laying down then asked to stand up for the hernia exam, physicals in school where always done standing up for the whole exam boxers where pulled down for the genital part

I had one hernia exam where I stood with the doctor standing behind me, reaching around and performing the exam from behind. This was apparently to preserve my modesty, as he never actually saw my genitals.

standing. my brother and mom could always see my penis as I was examined, but I suppose that's fair as I always watched his

In Belgium testicles are mostly examined standing up in front of the doctor. I have only had mine examined lying down once.

With my current doctor the genital exam is done lying down but when younger they were done standing up with my underwear off

Except for one physical exam, I have always been standing for the genital exam with my briefs off, briefs around my ankles or in an exam gown lifted and no underwear. The one time that I wasn't standing, I was lying on the exam table and the doctor lifted the bottom half of my exam gown and just moved my penis up so that he could look at my balls. No cough test and no touching of the balls.

I went to a boarding school, and twice a year we had to have a full medical exam. We stood in front of the doctor wearing only our underpants. When he was ready he would kneel on the floor and pull down the underpants gently. He would feel our testicles and lift our penis to look underneath it. There was a rumour among the boys that he was gay.... certainly he took his time doing it. When he was finished we had to pull up our own underpants. There was always a female nurse in the room as well, taking a record of anything the doctor said.

i always had a yearly physical exam since i been in high school to present, my genital exams been with me standing up naked facing the doctor and him feeling all around down south with turn your head and cough :) sometimes i would get a erection in front of the doctor

Until I was 13, I had the genital exam lying supine. I would be stripped to my briefs before the exam began. The last two parts of the exam were the abdominal and genitalia. The doctor examined my abdomen and then, without saying anything, would take down the front of my briefs to expose my genitalia. He would check the meatus and feel each testicle and then pull my briefs back up.

For me it has always been done laying on table legs open except once in the physical before military service, when the doctor did the exam me standing in front of him underwear pulled down.

First time I can remember I was about 15 laying flat on my back with legs up, knees bent and my boxers still on. The doctor put her hand up my shorts and felt around.

Looking back on it I find it surprising that she didn't wear gloves and after checking my testicles she used her index and middle finger to spread my cheeks apart. She didn't penetrate just held them apart for a few seconds. She wasn't looking at it because my boxers were still on so I don't know what that was about.

Since then its always been flat on my back with underpants down.

I had a routine physical each year. I had to strip to my jockeys, and and toward the end I'd be lying on my back, and the doctor would pull my shorts down with one hand and check my testicles with the other. He told me to turn my head and cough. On a few occasions - first was when I was 12 - he pulled my shorts down further, and did a more detailed inspection. This made me embarrassed.

I had two different doctors. One was standing with gloves. One was laying down without gloves.

For me it was lying down on the table, then standing to do the hurrenia exam.

I've always been standing ... probably uses the advantage of gravity!

I was placed laying down with my legs apart. Had multiple dreams after it...

I didn't go out for any sports during school years and don't recall any routine examination of my genitals until the first (of three) Selective Service physicals in the late 1960's. It was the first time anybody had ever told me to turn my head and cough while sticking a finger in my scrotum. Prior to that the school-type exams seemed to focus on immunizations, heart, urine specimen, blood test, a couple of anal peeks for worms, ears, eyes, throat, etc. I do now recall that when I had mumps in first grade that my nuts were a bit enlarged and tender and the doctor did do some touching that I didn't at all appreciate. That exam was done with me on my back, feeling pretty defenseless, even though I was in my own bed and this was a house call. (No number of stuffed animals can protect you under those circumstances.)

All but one with them sitting on a stool while I was standing.

Once, as a teen, a doctor gave me a hernia exam while standing behind me - he had me pull down my pants and underwear and reached around from behind, doing the cough routine by feel only to preserve my modesty. I'm not sure if this is unusual, but I guess I appreciated it at the time.

As far back as I can remember, I've been checked with the doctor sitting on a stool while I stand. When I was young I had a female doctor. I have vivid memories of dreading that part of the exam, because I would invariably develop an erection as she manipulated my member in her gloved hands.

Standing with legs apart and underpants down. Now days when I go to my urologist ..he examines me the same way.

As a kid, standing up. Later, as a teen or adult, always lying down.

When i was younger i was always lying down. My doctor was in her early 40's and looked great. Then when i was 12 i was in for a physical and she had me lay on my back and i knew what was coming, so of course being 12, i got an erection, thinking about the doctor touching me down there. I felt both her hands on the waist band of my underwear, and felt her pull them down to my knees. I was embarrassed, that i had an erection, she most have know i felt embarrassed because see looked into my eyes and said that it was alright and that it was normal for boys to get erections when they were going to have there penis and testicles examined. This made me feel really good, because i was horny and now i knew see didn't care that i was. She wrapped her hand around my erect penis and gently squeezed a few time, which felt very nice and she also stroked in twice, before she felt my testicles which also felt really good.

i had to stand in front of the doctor, back then i found that very humilliating, now I can only wish i could be there again

As a teen my doctor was an attractive woman in her early 40s and she conducted a couple of genital exams when I needed physicals for sports and then college.

She would have me stand and she pulld up a chair. I remember to this day looking down at her as she took her seat and began to pull on her gloves. She had on a light grey lab coat, a turtleneck sweater, tweed skirt and tall brown riding boots. She wore the whitish vinyl exam gloves and tugged down pants as they had an elastic waiste band. I could feel a surge of blood flow to my genitals as her gloved hands fished my penis and scrotum from my pants. I was a tad concerned to say the least. She looked over my penis and palpated my testicles in business like manner, she mentioned it was important for me to examine them as well. I could feel a slight swelling, but with that it was over and she tucked it back into my drawers and pulled up my pants. All done :) I don't think she noticed any excitement in her patient, but that moment has stayed with me a long time!!

HA HA HA, how was that for a long answer to a simple question ;)

In primary school, at 14, we had to stay before the doctor (she was an old woman), she sat on a low stool, and she pulled down our pants, and squeezed our testicles briefly, then pushed back our foreskins roughly. It was fairly fast, but really embarrassing, because she was commenting our development stages to the nurse so she can write in to our medical files.

At school medicals we did not have a choice ,I wos stood in front of the school doctor who wos sat down he told me to spread my legs wide he then pulled the front of my underpants away from my waist and down then did the hernia check and genetal exam.

As far back as I can remember, early exams up to maybe age 9-10 were done with me laying on the table or sitting up with my legs dangling over the edge and open a bit. The doctor would slip my shorts off as part of the abdominal exam while I layed on the table. From 11 or so on, all the way to 18 and leaving for college, my genitals were always examined with me standing in front of the doctor. Usually he would be sitting on one of those short stools that could be rolled around. If my underpants hadn't already been removed by the doc during the abdominal exam on the table, then I would have to pull them down either part or all the way, whichever he wanted, while standing in front of him. Usually it was all the way because it was easier for him to reach the parts he needed to touch, I guess. And it was hard to spread my legs enough when he checked my bottom if I still had my jockey shorts around my ankles. I usually kicked them off. We had the same family doctor GP during that whole time (between 11 and 18). He was an older man, I thought he could be somebody's grandfather. Anyway, I remember being very comfortable around him even naked and, as I made my way through puberty, I found that I was becoming strangely fascinated by my "physicals", which I guess explains my membership in this forum now at age 65.

As a kid i was only standing in front of the doctors during this type of exam.

Never any position but standing

All my genital exams as a kid were done standing, except the first one I remember, I was lying down and the doctor just pulled the front of my shorts down for a few seconds.

as a kid on my back on the exam table, now as an adult only standing

I was seven or eight years old, I was stood infront of the doctor, he pulled my underpants down and felt my little cock and balls

That's the strangest position for a genital exam that I've ever heard of. You were on your knees on the table and you hands were up in the air while he examined your genitals? Really? Strange.

I had an employment physical at this doc in the box on my first job and I was on the table on elbows and knees at first then he had me on my knees up with my hands up in the air. He made me place my knees wide apart at each edge of the table. The rectal came next and then we were finished.

Mine was done standing. The doctor would ask me to stand up and pull down my underwear, then he would examine my penis and testicles.

I was standing and it was in 9th grade.

It was done by a cranky old doc who had these long finger nails that would pull your public hairs right out! lol

It was always standing. Had no choice back then as to the position.

Only lying down on the back.

My only position has ever been standing in front of the doc. That is until recently when she gave my testicles a through exam and explained to me how to do it myself. I was sitting for that.

The hernia check was done lying down, but the actual genital exam was done standing.

I only remember this examination at the school doctor. He took both balls in his hand and felt them. I think sometimes too hard.

The only position that I can remember for childhood exams was standing in front of the doctor. Usually at some point in the exam, they would have me stand up and lower my shorts, then they would do a hernia and genital exam with me standing in front of them.

As a kid, it was flat-on-my-back with the doctor reaching into my underpants to feel the testicles. He basically just flipped things around and ran his fingers along the inside of my legs for a couple of seconds. I vaguely remember being asked to cough, but not that often as a kid (later, as a teen, I had the "cough test" a number of times). I never thought much about it until I was about 11 or 12, when it started to be a bit embarrassing.

Hi

That varied quite much. I had no choice for position. Sometimes it was done standing after doctor dropped my underwear down. Other times it was done while I was laying on table legs open. Also then doctor remowed my underwear.
