One more thing I was kinda confused by....some of you guys who said that you were getting all of these prostate exams.... how old were you??? hahah as far as I know, men do not have to get a prostate exam until they reach their 40's. The most they should get checked down there is for hernias and testicular cancer at a young age, I thought.

If you've had a family history of prostate cancer you're advised to get a checkup at 35 then at 40 then every few years after that.

I am rerminded of what happened to me a couple years ago.

I had symptoms consistant with a bladder infection. The doctor was so uncomfortable with bodies that he was unable to perform an adequate examination. I changed doctors.

Maybe he was taking cold medication and could not handle heavy equipment!

About the only time I have ever been completely nude for a physical was years ago when I went in the National Guard. (It was then I really knew that Lincoln was wrong ..."not all men are classified equal! LOL)

I had an MRI a few week ago they gave me a gown and told me to keep my shorts on.
(Thank God I wasn't going compando that day)

After I had kidney stone(s), the doctor that did a yearly exam on me, just sat in front of me and had me take my dick out for him to examine and then I'd stand, turn around, drop my pants, bend over and he'd do the "finger wave.) All I could do was refrain from asking him was it (the finger) in yet. LOL

BTW, I swear I could see a hint of erection in his pants a couple of visits.

There is a huge history of cancer in general in my family. A lot of the men get old age prostate cancer too. So, I've been enduring the exam for years. It only takes a couple of seconds. The worst part is the greasy feeling afterwards that you are trying to wipe off.

You are 30% gay and worry about a 20 second doctor exam? It doesn't make you less of a man. If anything, it takes no guts at all to go have it done. It takes an arse not guts. :wink:

Lol I know it's really quick, and yes thank you for pointing out the 30% gay thing, but that doesn't mean I like to just bend over and take a finger up my ass always :wink: I don't know why, but doctors have always made me uncomfortable even though there is nothing be uncomfortable about, i know. I just am like that I guess.... :redface:

Well, if you bend over and let this lot have their way with you, you won't even feel the finger mate.

get somebody with small hands and relax. By the time you have had 8 kidney stone surgeries, and multiple physicals, you could care less. Yes, no modesty here at all.

You are one lucky man! ... well about the no modesty part not the surgery of course. :redface:

I wouldn't get naked for a sore toe.:wink: But for physicals and such, yes.


You joke but there used to be an ear nose throat specialist that checked guys for hernias. Maybe, he thought the sinus was semen backing up into the wrong head? hahaha :p


There have been wo doctors I vowed on the spot I would never return to because of this. My university had a medical director (woman) who was notorious for requiring all males to be nude throughout all examinations. Classmates had complained -- to each other, but it should have been to the administration -- that she made them strip naked even when they went to Student Health Services complaining of a cold or flu. In my case, I was sent by the head of the Phys Ed dept after getting whacked pretty hard in the eye with a wayward tennis ball. My first time at SHS and sure enough, assigned to be seen by this woman. She came into the exam room, read my chart, and asked me to take off all my clothes. I asked her whether she read that I was there for an eye injury. She said yes, but in order to do a thorough exam and check for any other contusions, I had to be nude. I absolutely refused and we had a standoff for about 10 minutes. She threatened to put "permanent" notes in my student record, and I threatened to report her not only to the university administration but to the state medical licensing authority. The exam proceeded clothed.

The other time was about 10 years ago when I was briefly in hospital for a "locked" ankle. My primary physician, a wonderful woman, had arranged for a rheumatologist to look at the ankle on his hospital rounds. From the moment I saw him, I knew he was creepy. He locked the door and told me to take my hospital gown off and stand right in front of where he was kneeling on one leg. I protested that I wouldn't do it for an ankle exam. He insisted it was necessary for checking all my joints, including knees and hips, so I did it, but it was gross. While palpating my ankle he was breathing heavily right on my dick. I thought he was going to stick his reptilian tongue out at any moment.

When he finished the ankle he told me to put the gown back on. Never looked at any other joints. I made a formal complaint to my primary physician, and now there is a big notation in my file that I am never to be referred to that rheumo ever again.

The issue in both cases wasn't the nudity throughout, but their obvious creepiness. People need to trust their radar on this, as some doctors do abuse their power for their own reasons.

Oh, and by the way -- my primary does superb prostate checks. In, out, done in 15 seconds. Only worry is the KY cleanup.

I'm only young, and responsive to advertisement, but can't prostate exams just get done by 'just a little prick'. A PSA blood test? That's what I thought those ads (in Australia) were all about.

That is the PSA test. It measures the level of certain harmones and such in the blodd. If that number is above a certain point, the doctors want to do a more thorough examination.

But the prostate test is where the doctor inserts a finger into your butt hole and feels for the prostate. If it has any bumps on it, it might be cancer so a more invasive tests are done. Also if the prostate id enlarged, that is something that needs to be checked out.

what kind of invasive tests am I referring to? Depends on what the doctor finds. I understand that the doctor can get some tissue from the prostate and send it off for analysis.

I had my first prostate exam in my 20's, the doctor said that men usually don't get prostate cancer at that age, but he said that it was good to document the size of the prostate at that age so there would be something to compare to later if I had problems. I still go to the same clinic so I assume that somewhere that record is still there. I still have no prostate problems.

Of course a study was done that showed that guiys who masturbate a lot in the 20's are less likely to get prostate cancer. All I can say is, I probalby won't get prostate cancer!

I am required to have an annual physical and I have gone to the same doctor for my physical for the last 14 years. Each time the routine is the same. His nurse, who has been with him for nearly 10 years, shows me to an examining room and asks me first if there is anything out of the ordinary that needs to be discussed with the doctor. Once that is out of the way she asks me to strip down to my boxers just before she leaves. After a couple of minutes she returns to check my weight and blood pressure. My chart is noted and then she tells me the doctor will be by in a few minutes. She closes the door as she leaves. When my doctor enters the exam room he always greets me and shakes my hand, reviews my chart and makes some small talk. Once he has finished with the chart he asks me to remove the boxers and he does the full exam. I have never thought that this was unusual. How can a doctor perform a physical and ascertain the state of your physical health without seeing everything? I would think twice about returning to a physician if he or she performed an exam without at least touching my body and closely examining me. Obviously I would think it inappropriate to remove your pants if you were there to have a sore throat checked. I have had two instances where the doctor has examined me, while nude, and he found a problem that required treatment.

I have seen my doctor naked. We both train at the same fitness center and sometimes he is in the lockerroom or showers while I am there. I have met his wife on several occasions. Now I know why she always has a smile.
