Naked at the REAL doctor

Based just on my own experiences, I'd say that liability isn't the main issue, especially with male patients. With respect to a number of factors, it might be a slightly bigger concern with female patients and male doctors and concerns over possible sexual abuse claims.

Like Al C, I've had a number of exams with both GPs and dermatologists (many female) where I've spent some part of the exam totally nude. Based again on my own experiences, my guess would be that doing it or not doing it is largely a product of what the doctor is comfortable with and what their particular schools and intern programs taught them for protocol. If they personally feel uncomfortable with being around a totally nude patient or they were taught that its "proper protocol to preserve a patient's dignity by letting them stay covered as much as possible" then that's probably what they do.

I usually just try and take it out of play by letting them know its not a big deal to me, that what I care most about is making sure I get comprehensive care. Since I don't act inappropriately or go overboard, it hasn't seemed to be an issue for me.

Ned40,

I found her through my very large group practice that I belong to; she is one of the doctors on staff (though she has a private practice too, I think). As for a urologist taking men, I assumed it is a given -- most urological patients are men. (There is a specialty called gynourology I think.)

Also, as it happens the niece of a very good woman friend of mine is a female urologist in another state. I know that the very large majority of her patients are men too. I have asked my friend why her niece chose urology. She told me she thinks she did it because she likes examining men. No kidding. My woman friend and I are pretty close and I do not think she is making this up. She is quite reserved herself and cannot decide, I think, what she makes of her niece's preference -- whether she considers it a mark of feminist liberation, or too openly sexual, or whatever, but she is sort of proud of her niece.

medfanguy,

I agree with your approach to women doctors and nudity. I do much the same thing. Tell them it's not an issue, act properly and that's it.

She has a female assistant, a nurse who has done orthopedics and urology, as odd a combination as that may seem. The assistant is an attractive black woman in her late 20s. When I had a cystoscopy from this urologist she assisted throughout the procedure, actually holding my penis for her at some points during the procedure (I have written this up elsewhere on this board). I once asked her if she preferred urology or orthopedics, and she told me she had a slight preference for orthopedics.

In the early 70's the war in Vietnam had not yet ended and the draft was still in effect. I drew a low number and had to report to the induction center for a physical.

For most of the ordeal we were permitted to keep our pants and shoes on. At one station, however, we were required to strip completely and hang our clothes on a hook on the wall. There were 6 or 8 of us lined up on a row, completely naked, with female nurses in the same big room. An army doctor then examined our genitalia and checked for hernias one by one.

We were then required to turn around, bend over, and spread our butt cheeks as the doctor examined each anus for hemorrhoids or other abnormalities. We were then permitted to dress.

I passed the physical, but was later classified as a contentious objector and did not have to serve.

At my examinations I am told to undress completely, and I am handed a gown.

Until recently, I had the same doctor for 25 years. I was always instructed to undress completely and wrap myself in a paper sheet

What desert rat said was true to the experiences of many men who went through their military medicals during the Vietnam era. There were so many people to examine that they were concerned about examining the patients as quickly as possible.

I'm wearing my boxers while waiting for the doc to come into the room, but once the doc arrives for the exam, I'm told to strip naked.

My exams with an internist start with an interview, fully clothed. He leaves the room instructing me to "undress to your underwear." I strip down to boxers, he returns and performs the exam. Towards the end he sits on his chair and says, "Lower your shorts and stand in front of me." The first couple of times I saw him I slid my shorts down to my thighs and took the 2 or three steps to his chair. After checking genitals/hernia he would has walk back to the table, bend over and examines my prostate. This year when told to lower my shorts I let them fall to the floor and stepped out of them. He did his exams then told me to get dressed. It felt better, less awkward, to be fully nude for that last part. Easier to move and less concerned about my shorts falling.

It seems like the older you get the less clothes you have to remove at an exam. Until age 18, every exam required me to undress to my underwear and included a genital exam. Now, as an adult, I don't have to undress at all.

Some years ago I remember going to my ex girlfriends doctors for her medical. My girlfriend at the time was thirty and the doctor was probably ten years older and quite good looking. He asked her all the usual questions before saying that he needed to examine her. He said that he needed to carry out both a breast and an internal examination and asked if she would like a female nurse in the room to which she replied that it was not necessary. He then asked her to undress, and as she was wearing a dress she was soon down to her bra and knickers. He then asked her to remove her underwear, saying that she could take off her bra first but leave her knickers on for the time being. As only she could, she said she might as well take it all off so that he could carry out both examinations in one go. Moments later she was completely nude as I watched the doctor perform a breast exam as she sat on the couch before he asked her to lie back, bring her legs up and let them fall apart with her pussy on full show as he performed an internal examination before finally taking a pap smear.

I have heard that complete nudity is common in France. Is this true? I know it was not unheard of in the U.S. up to the 70's but is pretty rare today. For me, female nudity in front of male medical personel is the ultimate turn on.

To desert rat

you said that at the end of your physical for draft in a pre-induction center, you were instructed to strip completely and you stayed naked with a grroup of six or eight guys for check hernia, exam of genitals and visual inspection of ypour rectum while bending over and spreading your cheeks, all in presence of female nurses.

do you know why these female nurses were present? did they have something to do, did they assist to the militarian doctor, how old were they, did they seem to be enjoyed to assist at the exam or embarrassed as you, or surprised or obviously used to watch at naked young guys in that exam room?

I find it very interesting that male members of the group find it enjoyable to watch their wives lying naked on an examining table. It seems to me that they have the opportunity to duplicate that look at home. I wonder what the attraction is?

I usuall start off dressed, rolling up sleeves or removing shirt as needed. Eventually, I get a gown for the more invasive parts of the exam,

Down through the years, most of the doctors I've been to have started me in my shorts and just pull them down (not off completely) for the genital and rectal exam. I did have a doctor for a while about 15 years ago that did have me take my shorts off completely for the genital exam. The last physical I had with him before he retired, I did strip completely naked for the whole exam partly because I figured, I'm going to be completely naked in a few minutes anyway, so what difference does it make? Also, I've always wanted to have a full exam while completely nude, so I did it!

When I had a female urologist she would have me undress completely. Male urologist does not. Female dermatologist has me undress completely.

I am in the U.S. I have never been naked. I have always been stripped to underpants and then dropped them down to mid-thighs when necessary for genital/hernia and rectal exams.

I have gone to a dermatologist for years and need to get regular full-body exams. My first dermatologist had me strip down to boxers but with my current Dr I take everything off -- after hearing that melanoma can appear anywhere. I get the impression the Dr will go with the patient's comfort level.

In Vietnam every exam was in the nude. Here in Australia my GP who is also my gynecologist has me naked in a gown which he then slides around; the most naked is when the gown is simply covering only my abdomen.

After nurse does weight, bp, blood samples, ekg, she puts a gown on the exam table and tells me the doctor likes to do a complete exam so take off all your clothes and she leaves. I gladly comply tying the open-back gown at the neck only and sit with bare butt on the chair. Male doctor comes in and I sit on the exam table while he checks eyes, ears, throat, and reflexes. He unties gown and it sits in my lap while he checks heart and lungs; then I lie down with the gown barely covering my penis while he palpitates my abdomen. The gown falls off as I stand up and I put it on the table. Now I am naked for the hernia cough, testicle check, and prostate exam. Reluctantly, I get dressed after he leaves. One time while I was sitting in the chair with the gown on, the nurse came back to ask a question. I wished she had come in sooner before I had the gown on.

In my play exam the patient is naked. it's so exciting take part at a strip tease.but if the lady fells embarassed i allow her to get dressed in bra and panties, then, during the exam she is asked to remove them

Having had a number of genital exams, I've been naked from the waste down mostly, although there have been about 6 instances when I've been completely naked.

If everythings hanging out down below, it's no big deal being naked and, I actually find it more comfortable and less embarassing.

The first time I had to be examined with an erection, now that was embarassing!

How was erection achieved, malesmoothy? The only time I was ever examend naked was for military induction with many other men. To the blessed relief of every one, no erections observed but can you imagine the embarrassment when it does happen in a group physical!

I've been completely exposed every time I've ever been to the doctor except for the most recent time when I barely de-clothed. Usually the doctor makes me undress to my boxers and then pulls them down to check for testicular cancer. One time I had to walk around the room completely naked while the doctor checked my posture.

Naked only at military recruit exam from the whole time, at family (or general) doctor only on a part of exam.

My wife started off wearing a gown to her GYN exams but after a few years and when I was present at her exam she would just strip naked and have the exam she liked that better than the gowns

The the doctor became a friend of ours and we saw him at functions that we attended.

He delivered both our kids

It was also a turn on for both of us knowing that he saw her naked and also examined her very personally and internally

I think it's an important part of fulfilling the medical examination fetish to be completely undressed for some, preferably most of the examination. The feeling of vulnerability and in some cases embarrassment is the best part of the experience; being with a fully clothed doctor preferably in a white coat while you are being ordered to strip and respond to instructions while naked and submissive.

Fully naked, I'd say! I look forward to viewing my wife in such a position, though I've not thus had the pleasure. Me, on the other hand, have been stripped naked before my wife and female doctor quite regularly.

Never been complete naked in doctor.
