    I had more then only one rectal exam. Most of them were while I was on my back with feet in stirups. One was on an extra examination table while on all fours.

    I like being on my back with my bottom right on the edge of the table and my legs in comfy calf stirrups raised high and wide, so that everything is totally accessible to the Doctor.

    loveb,

    You have been deprived or have lead a sheltered life.. lol

    It is imperative that you report to your nearest playdoc for your first rectal exam.

    Have fun!

    I have never had a rectal exam but if it were my choice in that situation I would probably prefer lying on my back with my feet in the stirrups.

    The only time I've had a rectal check done was at the end of a pelvic exam. most of my drs. Will slide a finger in my bottom with a little warning to bear down for a bi manual. I usually make sure I do a little clean out before my exams.

    what would be really nice is if the doctor would stick one finger in my vagina and one finger in my rectum at the same time.

    Well I'm not a lady or even a woman, but I'd like to chip in my two cents. My PA (lady) always likes me to bend over the end of the exam table when she does my rectal and prostate check. She says she can feel the prostate better in that position. Guys, if your partner has small hands and short fingers, you may want to try this position for prostate massage. My PA always says it's time for my torture as she's lubing up her finger. If she only knew! :P

    My doctors have done it at the end of the pelvic exam without changing my position on the table.

    Hi ladies I've always wondered what position doctors use for Rectal Examination?
