Pulling down underwear for genital exams

I wish the socks had been removed though.

I agree. The dark socks were distracting.

I had an experience once and it was my most memorable exam. I was used to having the doctor take a look at my private areas after he had finished with the abdominal exam, but at this exam, I was seeing a new doctor (though at the same practice). With me laying down, he checked the range of motion in my legs and pushed on my belly, feeling just slightly under my waistband, then stopped. I was surprised as he stepped away from the table and told me to climb down. And then I was shocked as he took a seat, positioned me in front of him, and casually told me to "Go ahead and pull those down now." I got the most thorough exam down there that I had ever experienced including asking me to "tighten up" multiple times for a hernia check and teaching me to do a testicular self exam.

It was quite the "fake out" with me thinking the exam was over as I climbed off the table, only to receive so much more just a few seconds later!

My first pediatrician would lower the gown to my waist and lift up my underwear, check my pulses, then lift them up further to check my testicals. There was never a warning because he performed the exam the same way ever since I could remember. I switched pediatricians around 14 years old and switched to a regular physician around 20 years old. Both doctors would ask me to stand and lower my underwear. They checked my testicals and for hernias. My genitals were never exposed for more than 30 seconds tops.

I remember the once a year exam before the start of school. I was always uneasy, as I knee what was in store for me. Every time, two female nurses, one would have me lie face down on the exam table, wearing only my underwear. As she held my send above my head, I could best the other shaking down the rectal thermometer, then the smell of rubbing alcohol. Very soon. The nurse behind me would slip my underwear down, parting my cheeks and penetrating me with the instrument. She would rub my back very lightly while she held it in, talking with her coworker about mundane things. She would then withdraw the probe, but she would instruct me to turn over onto my back, telling me the doctor would be in shortly. She would then pull my underwear down just enough so that I was completely exposed. I nearly died of embarrassment as I waited in the room with them.

The regular physical exam I had at my pediatrician when I was 13 was the last one where he lowered down my underwear himself to take a quick peek and feel. It came right after the abdominal exam where his hand was pretty low and just finished checking the lymph nodes and the pulse in my groin. He would ask "Are you ready" and of course the only thing I could say was a soft, "...yes". He would slid his fingertips under the band of my underwear on the right side and then lift up and pull down. From 14 on it was the standard get off the table, stand up, lower underwear myself, and so on. Never was quite the same as the supine exams where you never really knew the exact moment when he would lower the underwear. Still, I am erect at almost all of my exams during the genital portion.

I understand the attraction of medical fetishes. I get that.

But what I don't get is why we have so many threads devoted to who pulls down underwear.

Moderators, I'm not criticizing, just inquiring. Please enlighten me.

Hi Quincy,

I'm new here, but those are the posts that I enjoy reading the most. I would say for the vast majority of users on the site, having their underwear or panties pulled down and being exposed like that and in that clinical exploratory manner was what sparked their medical fetish in the first place.

Thanks, Chris. That makes sense.

And a like point for you sir.

But what I don't get is why we have so many threads devoted to who pulls down underwear.

The reason so many people like to talk about that is probably due to the control aspect of medfet. After all, much of medfet for a lot of people is about the lack of control that you have in the medical situation and the fact that someone else is doing things to your body, with you helpless to stop them.

When I had underwear during an exam, before I got a gown, the doctor always pulled them down for me. Sometimes, just the waistband down enough to take a quick look, sometimes down below my hips, so sh could take a better look. Once, when I was 15 or so, she pulled them down to my ankles, and had me spread my legs, frog position, and looked at everything between my legs. Like spreading my lips and such. She did put a finger in, but just a little. But it was the doctor who pulled them down for me. Sometimes she would say somethign like 'lets see what oyu have going on down here' right as she pulled down the front.

When I saw my pediatrician as a young child, he would slip his hands into my underwear after he did the abdominal exam and check my testicles. Once I hit high school and switched doctors he always made me stand up and drop my pants for him to examine my penis and testicles. Of course I would always pop a boner and get embarrassed.

My memory of having my briefs pulled down to my knees exposing my genitals while standing in front of a doctor during my first physical exam has probably been the main factor contributing to my lifetime of medfet interests.

I can only remember the Doctor pulling down my underpants on three occasions. Firstly my School Medical at 15ish years old when he just pulled the waistband down and had a look without any warning, next at a second pre-employment exam where he asked if I had any 'lumps or swellings down there' then pulled just the front of my underpants down and told me to cough without touching & just looking and lastly at an appointment with a specialist at a hospital outpatient appointment, due to a digestive problem, where he actually pulled them right down too mid thigh, whilst I was flat on the exam couch. On each occasion I was only in underpants and socks to start with.

But what I don't get is why we have so many threads devoted to who pulls down underwear.

It's like the core of medfet. It's HOT. This aspect has it all, & if you notice in the threads, the topic hits elements from many different angles, hence the multitude of threads. The yielding of control over one's body. The revealing. The exposing. The touching. The on display. The examining. The awkwardness. The genders. The genitalia. The anal.

It's the very heart of medfet.

As a patient I mostly use to remove underwear by myself when requested (I Remember when I was a Child a young and nice female doctor that chatting and smiling pulled out my White briefs passing them to my mother before performing abdominal and genital exam). As a "doctor" I always ask to my female patients to remove undies, never removed by myself without asking

Its better to have the patient where possible remove their clothing, unsnap or unfasten. I was taught this as you never know how a patient will react , best to be safe than sorry as it only takes a hint of any impropriety for you to get a complaint or accusation . Something you most definitely do not want at any stage of your career.

The only instance I would do this, is if the patient is unable too and ask for my assistance that way I'm assured nothing can be misconstrued and only remove the minimum needed for the examination to proceed. Patient modesty is of utmost importance in all situations where articles of clothing need to be removed, unsnapped and unfasten.

I'm with RN totally. One persons medfet is another's impropriety complaint.

When I was young I was told to remove my underwear but sometimes it was the doctor that removed it himself.

Now it's been long since I've had a genital exam so I don't have to pull of my underwear 😃

RN1993's post is very interesting considering my experience a couple years ago at the dermatologist for a skin exam. At that exam, the female doctor did all of my gown shifting and underwear lowering and raising for me. The exam was very professionally done but I was not anticipating the doctor to be so hands-on regarding disrobing.

There were 3 separate portions of intimate exposure. The first was when the doctor asked if she could examine my backside. I gave consent and much to my surprise, she pulled my shorts down all the way in the back and then spread my cheeks with her bare hands.

Second, she asked permission to examine my pelvic region and hips while I was seated at the edge of the exam table. I consented and once again, she took ahold of my shorts and lowered them to just above my genitals.

Finally, she asked if she could take a look at my genitals and I gave permission. She put on gloves, walked over to me (I was lying down with my gown raised above my underwear), and without saying anything pulled my shorts down completely exposing my genitals.

I was 100% fine with the doctor's actions even if they were unexpected. The fact that she explained what region of my body she was examining and asked permission before actually examining those parts, made it professional in my book. However, I can't help but think that someone else may find this doctor's actions inappropriate. After all, it wouldn't have taken any more time to lower my shorts myself in each of those situations.

What does everyone else think? I normally would agree 100% with RN1993, but I did experience a completely professional real exam with the doctor performing all disrobing. It's a touchy ( no pun intended) subject, no doubt.

I usually had to drop my pants and boxers to my feet and go from there. Only time I stepped out of them completely was for a testicular ultrasound

By announcing what she was about to do, that was a subtle signal that you could've gone ahead & exposed the region for her where she said she'd look. Like if she asks to examine your genitals, you know whatever's covering them has to come off, or moved aside if it's a gown. So if you say ok, you can expose yourself at that time for her.Or she will just go ahead & expose what's needed.

Some docs may feel awkward asking the patient to disrobe themselves and feel it's easier, smoother, & swifter to just go ahead & do it rather than make a big production out of it. Just guessing, considering it a possibility.

Often (not always) if men, or women, have female docs, it's by choice, so in most cases, they are not going to mind any hands on in general.

Well, that's just what i think.

By announcing what she was about to do, that was a subtle signal that you could've gone ahead & exposed the region for her where she said she'd look.

I agree with that. The problem is that you didn't pick up on those signals and expose yourself. I don't see anything inappropriate at all in the way you described this taking place. The doctor told you in advance what part of your body they were about to examine. That was your opportunity to do it yourself. And since you didn't, they had no choice but to do it. Sounds perfectly fine.

Finally, she asked if she could take a look at my genitals and I gave permission. She put on gloves, walked over to me (I was lying down with my gown raised above my underwear), and without saying anything pulled my shorts down completely exposing my genitals.

I think that the doctor was entirely professional and I think you handled the circumstances the same as I would have. I like the fact that she announced her intention to examine your genitals which gave you some time to ponder that experience before it happened. For me, that would have been a very anxious twenty or thirty seconds while she got gloved and walked over to do the exam. I think I would have let her take my shorts down too, mainly to see exactly how she took hold of the waistband and how far down she would pull them. I would have thought about pulling them down myself but I don't think I would have. What was your reasoning in having the doctor pull down your shorts? Have you had other female examiners see your genitals and anus?

When it comes to doctors, I've always been the type of person to listen carefully and follow instructions as perfectly as possible. I wasn't directed to lower my shorts at any point and I wasn't sure how much the doctor wanted to expose during each part. I obviously can't remember exactly what was going through my head but I'm sure I was trying to avoid exposing too much or too little which would have embarrassed me.

It's an irrational concern, but I would be quite embarrassed if a doctor asked me to shift an article of clothing and I did so incorrectly. I've never experienced this, but if I were to hear "oh, you didn't need to pull them all the way down" or " can you lower them more so I can get a better look" I would be slightly taken aback and rather embarrassed.

I didn't have any choice as to my doctor since this was a free screening provided at work, but at that point I had never had a female examiner examine my genitals, buttocks, or anus. I do think the examiner's gender had something to do with my cautiousness since I was extra careful not to make any moves to expose myself.

At my adult physicals with 2 different male doctors, I never had concerns about "flashing" myself. Both times when I was asked to stand for a testicular exam, I didn't hesitate to stand right up, move in front of the doctor, and lower my pants and underwear. I think if I had a female doctor in those circumstances, I would wait until I was directly told to lower my shorts just to avoid any possible impropriety.

I need to schedule another skin exam since I haven't been checked in nearly 3 years and it would be with my semi-current dermatologist who's a female. It will be insteresting to see how it goes. I'll definitely be extra aware of the disrobing aspect since I've hashed it out in so much detail on these forums 😃

I normally pull them down but I have had the doctor just pull them away at the waistband too

Always dropped my underwear myself, apart from one occasion at school.

For a school trip abroad, we needed a quick medical at school. Stripped to the waist and examined in front of other boys.

This time the male doctor pulled my waistband out and looked down at my cock. Not too sure what he could determine from that.

I'm usually just in a gown with nothing on my bottom half underneath, so there's nothing to pull down.

The last time a doctor lowered my underwear would have been more than 20 years ago, when I was a kid, so I can't really remember it. Vaguely recall having some rash when I was really young but doubt I would have been old enough to be bothered too much.

The only time that this has kind of happened is when the doctor has been checking my femoral pulse for problems with circulation in my leg. Trousers opened and lowered slightly and a hand down the waistband when that happened. The doctor moved my underwear about, but it wasn't removed and I didn't feel exposed. Just a bit worried about how close he was going to get - too young to understand what he was doing the first time and on my period for the second.

Last time was a female doctor in the thirties, wanted to feel the testicles and she simply told i need to remove my pants and lie down on the bed.

My internist simply asks me to take off my boxers. He then completes the exam both front and back.

Probably age 7 or 8, I had an undescended testicle which required regular doctor visits to check out. I was ordered to stand in front of the seated doctor, pull up my shirt and take down my pants and underpants (white briefs) to my ankles so he could see and feel me closely. He spent a good deal of time touching and looking as I stood in front of him, my bare boy-butt clearly on display to Mother and anyone who might pass by the room.

I did not have naked doctor exams as a kid, but had my first as a young teen when I had to get a physical for a summer job with the city. Went to the health department and a nurse told me to undress down to underpants and wait for the doctor. Doc came in and did all the "normal" tests, then sat in his wheeled office chair and closely watched me do several calisthenics (pushups, situps, bend over touch your toes, walk across the room and back) in my white briefs. It seemed we were finished after that, but my feelings of relief quickly vanished when Doc asked me to stand in front of him (he was seated with his desk behind him). I did so, and he began to quite thoroughly feel me up the front, back, and between the legs of my underpants. Without warning he slid my briefs down to my knees, and ordered me to take them off completely. Astonished, embarrassed, afraid, and excited all at the same time.
