Photographed

Have you ever been photographed naked during an real examination or a play examination for the medical record ?

I was video taped earlier this year receiving a genital exam. I am a Standardized Patient and GenitoUrinary Teaching Associate (GUTA). I teach medical students how to perform the male genital exam and prostate exam by demonstrating the genital exam on myself and then allowing each medical student to perform the exam on me. The Prostate exam obviously is not demonstrated by me, but I talk each student through the exam by telling them to push in deeper, rotate the finger in my rectum helping guide the student to find and examine my prostste.

The video taping was done by he trainer for GUTA's. She used a hand held video camera to record me being examined by the doctor who teaches the students. The purpose of recording the exam was for use as my study guide to learn the proper technique for conducting the exam that I would teach to the students. It was very intimidating at first. The trainer and I had to wait for the doctor who was late due to having to deliver a baby. The doctor called when he was leaving the hospital, saying he is on his way to the simulation lab where the exam rooms were located and that he would be there in 10 minutes. The trainer, a very attractive lady in her 30's got a gown out and handed it to me, and told me to "get completely undressed; take everything off". She then left the room. I had barely gotten undressed and slipped the gown on when the doctor and the trainer knocked and came in. The doctor explained what he was going to do and how he wanted me to teach the exam to his students. He washed his hands and put on latex gloves and rolled over to where I was standing. While he was doing this the trainer had gotten out her video camera, turned it on and was adjusting the focus. She was probably standing about 3 feet behind the doctor who was about 2 feet in front of me on his stool. Then came the words I knew would determine if I had the nerve to go through with it; "please remove your gown".

I didn't expect to hear that. I thought I would just raise my gown at the appropriate time. Without hesitating more than a second, I untied the gown and let it slide off of me onto the exam table behind me. The doctor began explaining each part of the exam telling me what he wanted the students to check like; "make sure they palpate the entire shaft of the penis by pushing their thumb and forefinger past the base of the penis to feel the portion of the shaft that inside the groin". I was trying to listen carefully to what the doctor was saying and doing because I knew that in 2 weeks I would need to come back and teach the exam to him to be certified to teach the exam to students. It was about at this point when I looked up and remembered the trainer was recording the exam. She had actually moved from the doctor's right to the doctor's left side without me noticing as I was so focused on the exam.

To make a long story short I finished the exam and was sent the video recording of the exam 3 days later as a study guide for preparing to teach the exam. When I viewed the recording for the first time I could not believe how much the trainer has moved about when standing behind the doctor and some of the extreme close ups of my genitals she had recorded. At one point I could see the drop of precum at my urethral opening and saw it drip when he has showing me the hernia exam. Anyway, I passed teaching the exam to the doctor 2 weeks later and then a week after that, I taught my first group of medical students the male genital and prostate exams. There were 2 males and 3 females in the group I taught.

I realize some won't believe it but this rendering of my experience is 100% true.

Thank you for posting the comprehensive account of your exam experience, an interesting and articulate description, karma for you sir.

It's too bad we can't see that video Mike. It sounds like it would be very interesting to watch.

Very interesting account Mike. Thank you very much. A karma from me 😃

Thank you for posting Mike. I'm sure they bring back fond memories for you.

Funny enough I bought several of such pictures at a garage sale, apparently as part of the exam process for incoming US naval academy recruits they were photographed in their jock strap from several angles for research purposes. However the cadets were also given a copy of the photos taken of them in a physical training instruction book, I suspect for comparison at a later time. I picked up the book because it was very old and looked interesting, imagine my surprise when I saw what was mounted on the inside jacket. Id post here but I lost my bonus member access.

I'd post here but I lost my bonus member access.

Those sounds like great photos. If you can't post them for some reason, perhaps you could email them to someone who can.

For part of the study I was in, yeah. I've posted some about it here before.

I also think it's worth documenting your own procedures even if it's to add a bit of humiliation to the examination.

I fair skin and have had some of my moles mapped (photographed) by my dermatologist over the past few years. I had a few moles in my pubic area (which I have since had removed) that were photographed.

Sounds very interesting, would like to hear more, thanks Mike

I have never been photographed nude in any exam or sex act that I am aware of.

Not by a doctor in a medical setting, but sirensong and I occasionally video-tape our kinky bedroom play. They're really quite hot videos that create a hard cock and very wet pussy every time we watch them together.

:-( Would love to see these pics but still wont let me :-(

No, not sure if I would want them out there

I was photographed during a pretty extensive pre-employment physical back in 1983. I did have gym shorts on, but no shirt. I'm not sure but I think the female employees were photographed in a bikini. Now, in general, I would say that this was no big deal, but it was my understanding that the photographs were given to our employer. I didn't really care that the boss had a picture of me in my shorts, but it was kinda weird to think that he had picutres of all of the female employees in bikinis.

I remember about 10 years ago there was a big scandal in the US when it was discovered that one of the leading university had in its files naked photos of their students, some of them having become proeminent people, taken as part of the medical exams they had gone through.

Those photos you are referring to were part of a very serious long term study which was meant to determine the correlation between body posture, type and intellectual capacity for achievement in later life. The postulated thesis being that ideal physical characteristics of one's body tend to give a person intellectual and personal advantages in (the struggle for) life.

Simply put it was a twist on the idea that the better looking you were physically, the more you would achieve as a person. Naturally the jargon used was much much more complex than this and the argumentation was given in scientific terms along with many complex and intriguing examples of human physical types. In the early 20th century, this idea was taken quite seriously in many scientific circles. Taken to it's logical conclusion, it also lead to the study of comparative physical characteristics of what was then called the different human races - now referred to as ethnicities.

You can still find very nicely published books from that time showing detailed diagrams, drawings and photos of nude people from various places on earth, taken for the purpose of making comparisons of body build and structure. In many ways such books were little more than porn for the higher classes, but they do reflect a mind set that is typical of the times.

In the US apparently some universities were talked into participating in similar studies, with students being photographed nude and classified into various body types. The idea being to see if there was a correlation between future achievements and their physical appearance.

I'm not certain any results were ever published or even made based on these nude posture photos.

You can find a number of articles on this intriguing and interesting, if debunked subject. Here are a few:

I got regular photographical documentation during full body mole exams by dermatologists since my teenaged time! For me, this is one of the most embarrassing examination procedure I can think about.

I have never been photographed or video taped in a real exam (that I know of). I did have a play exam where I would have liked the experience to be photographed from an outsider perspective, but it was a 1:1 setting and the doctor was very thorough and focused...had there been an observer present it would have been ideal to have them photograph the entire experience vs. having the doctor stop to do it. I am hoping for future experiences I can have a couple photos or video to capture it.

I have photographed several play exams in the past (always obviously with the patient's consent). It's a sticky issue now though as with digital pics they can be reproduced and shared much more easily than the printed format

Am a bit apprehensive about being photographed. While the thought is interesting, there is just too much rubbish going on to take the risk.

When I went to a chiropractor office for an adjustment, I was in my panties and they wanted to take several pictures of me to see how straight I was or wasn't. The male assistant took about 50 pictures of me in all sorts of positions.

In Belgium,

some dentist are making photos from teethes and mouth before and after treatment .

for plastic surgery too but this is an evidence .

orthopedist will do it for legs, arms and spinal column.

This is done in case of problem or claim, photos are so easy to make, to put in a medical file for future cares.

We are living in a digital century, this jump is so big as going from JC year 0 to 2012 in one night.

I see the evolution in photography (civil and military) from the years 60 untill now,

unbelievable, I can't describe the evolution.

Just imagine it is possible to make a photo from a blackhead on your nose with a satellite if there is no cloud, in 69 the red dot of a cigarette was too strong for a night photography at 0.5 miles, imagine today . . . a human/animal is "visible" only because his natural heat at 2 miles, a truck is visible at approximately 18 miles

In real life we always get a photographic release from the patient or the responsible party before taking pictures. This is vital, I would not even bring the camera into the room until the release is completed with witnesses.

Never had any pics taken by a dr...!!

Over the past three or so years I have had various parts of me photographed for medical purposes. The first was for a large dermatafibroma on my left leg. The VA med center I use is affiliated with a teaching hospital, so the pictures were used both to send to the dermatology department as part of the referral process and for instructing student doctors. The second time I had parts of my face photographed for suspected skin cancer. The facility has its own medical imaging department. Never had any "intimate" pictures taken as part of any exam.

Do pictures of my insides count? I have some GI disorders and get regular endoscopies and colonoscopies. A number of the photographic slides are sent to schools and training facilities.

I've also had my dentist take pictures for braces and such.

The weirdest had to have been when my neuropthalmologist (sp?) video taped my eyes and how they followed her finger. The ligaments in my left eye don't always work correctly, so I have to get that monitored regularly.

However, other than those few instances, no other pictures or videos.

This past year, I started seeing a new dermtologist as prior one moved out of state. I get checked every year after having a basal cell removed 10 years ago. She used a process called mole mapping and photographed all my skin, including my buttocks, but not my genital area. This males it easier for her track future changes.

The common recollection of American universities taking posture photos of each and every student from 1958-1963 is well known ans actually happened. Male and female students were asked to strip naked and be photographed in profile as part of a nationwide anthropological study. In fact no person was allowed to skip gym or physical education without submitting to this naked photograph.

The practice was popular in women-only colleges and since the procedure was found to be somewhat unorganized, it was not unusual for groups of incoming female students to be standing around undressing and nude for periods of time while cameras were being loaded with fresh film.

Attempts to make the process efficient in all-girl colleges resulted in combining the posture pictures with a physical exam. Although highly unusual to conduct a medical exam in the total nude, since the girls were naked anyway seemed to be a good choice and ended up being a two to three hour event for freshmen women. When paper records were eliminated in the mid-2000's, a number of black and white negatives were discovered of literally dozens of naked women who had attended the universities..
