I posted this experience before under First Teenage Hernia Exams but I think it was my most embarrassing physical exam. It would be hard to top this one for me.
My first hernia exam as a teenager was in a group physical for sports before 7th grade started for me. I was 13 so barely a teen. I had hernia exams at the doctor's office before but not every year and all of those were before puberty. There is something about being a young teen and suddenly everything about my body was different, especially in the genital area. Some pubic hair and my penis and balls had really grown large compared to the body that I had before puberty. That is an awkward age when boys grown tall really fast but they have almost no muscle yet so they are tall and very skinny. The skinniness makes the genitals seem weirdly large compared to the rest of the body. This didn't start changing for me and my friends until I was 16 so I had time to get use to it by then.
Anyway, I lined up with a lot of boys in our underpants in the school gym for physicals. The boys were all junior high and high school boys and there wasn't any effort to separate us by age or school. We just lined up as we came in and undressed. Everybody wore briefs and, except for some of the high school boys, ours were the tight white kind. Which showed off what we had down below in an awkward way. I think that I was really self-conscious about being almost nude, standing in a long line, and having different doctors doing different things and everybody watching us. And we were watching each other.
At the end of the last of the lines was the hernia exam which we all knew was coming. As each kid stepped up to the doctor in that line, he was told to drop his underpants to his ankles while the doctor took a quick look at his penis and then the kid had to cough twice on each side as the doctor checked him out. Even the older boys who had been through this several times before seemed nervous about having to drop their briefs and have some doctor handle their balls, There was some joking in line by the older boys but most of it seemed like it was aimed at us younger boys. One of the older guys told some of us that "you better not get a boner or you will poke the doctor's eye out." Of course getting a boner was a real fear since at that age spontaneous erections happened often. What we didn't realize is that our nerves would probably prevent that. Eventually I get to be the second or third in line and now am close enough to the hernia exam spot that I can see the boys ahead of me dropping their briefs to their ankles and getting checked out although we are only able to see the boys from the back. Each boy coughed at least four times and then could pull his undies back up, get his physical form and go get dressed. When it got to be my turn, I knew what to do, but I kind of froze when the doctor told me to "drop your shorts to your ankles." I didn't do anything so the doctor shouted "Get your underpants down now. I don't have all day." So I hurriedly got my briefs down and almost tripped as for some reason I decided that I need to walk a step closer to the doctor with my underpants around my ankles and the doctor had startled me. That got some laughs from the boys behind me. And the doctor yelling at me got the attention of half of the line who had not been paying attention to what was going on ahead of them until they heard him yell. I looked back when I heard the laughs and saw half of the line watching me getting my penis and balls checked out. I didn't get an erection but looking down at what the doctor was checking out I thought that he would think that I was really weird because my penis looked really long and out of proportion to the rest of me. But the doctor said nothing, just finished the exam, checked my physical form, and told me to get my briefs back up. Which I did and then hurried out of the line to find my clothes and get dressed. I'm sure that my face was red from all of the attention.
