Testicular Exams

My medical fetish began with a testicular exam when I was 40. This was my first physical with a female doctor. While I have had hernia exams since I was a child (I was born with a hernia that went away on its own), I don't ever remember having a testicular exam until I turned 40. Or if I had one, it was so precursory that I barely noticed.

She held my scrotum in her hand and closed her hand around it, feeling my testicles with all of her fingers... I was like "Oh my God! What is she doing?!" I was just praying that I wouldn't get an erection. If a doctor had examined me like that when I was 18, no doubt I would have embarrassed myself. It was an incredibly intimate exam. Most doctors just feel the surface of your testicles with a few fingertips. No medical professional has ever held me like that.

Question for other guys: What is the first testicular exam that you remember? Did you ever wonder if the doctor was doing more than just "examining" you? How old were you? And what did you think of it?

Until she performed that exam, I don't think I had any medical fetish. For the most part, doctor visits were non-events for me.

She used her entire hand to palpate your testes? I wonder how she felt anything?

I was about 11 when I got frist testicular exam. My doctor was very throu my exam because it was per exam for hospital.

Most of the testicular exams i've had were quick squeezes to check for lumps, followed by advice to learn to do it on my own. Which i had been doing, but every once in a while you want a professional to check to make sure you aren't missing anything

The only in depth testicular exam i had was once by a female nurse practitioner. I'm hoping that after selecting a female pcp, i will be subjected to more. Something about having my balls touched - tickled, caressed, squeezed, that highlights everything - massages, exams, etc.

LiquidSky, she wrapped her fingers around my testicles, supporting them in her palm, and rolled them around in her fingers, while my scrotum rested in her palm.

That sounds like Captain Queeg and his ball bearings from the Caine Mutiny.

My first testicular exam was at 19. It was my first time being seen by a GP and my first time being examined by a female doctor. Needless to say I was apprehensive and embarrassed.

My first testicular exam was at age 11. I had had to change to a different pediatrician because my previous one had passed away. The previous pediatrician had not had me undress for exams. He simply worked around my clothes and had only felt my testicles by reaching inside my pants. The new pediatrician started the exam by having me strip to my underwear. This was pretty intimidating since I was used to having my clothes on and felt very self-conscious just being there on the paper-covered examination table in my white briefs. The exam was innocuous enough in the beginning, with the typical exam of the eyes, ears, throat, and neck. Then the reflexes and stethoscope exam of the chest and heart. Then things got more interesting. He had me lie flat on my back, and did the stethoscope exam and palpation of the abdomen. Then, with no warning, I felt the front of my briefs go down to fully expose my penis and scrotum. I slightly lifted my head to see what he was doing. My penis had begun to mature and was probably about 3 inches when flaccid. It was lying on my abdomen. He picked up the penis and seemed to look around the head for a few seconds, then with one thumb on either side of the meatus, he spread it open and checked it out. He then dropped the penis back onto my abdomen and moved to the balls. I had no pubic hair at that age, but the testees had dropped and my scrotum had enlarged so that the balls were hanging down between my legs. He picked up each testicle and did a careful palpation, formally enough that it was a little uncomfortable but not painful in the least. When he finished with palpation of the testicles he returned the waistband of my briefs back so that the genitalia were covered again. He then told me I could get dressed. This was really the exam that got my medical fetish started. It was probably the most embarrassing experience I had had to that point in life, but thinking back about it was extremely exciting and gave me a good subject matter for masturbation. In fact, 30 years later I am still masturbating while thinking about that exam experience.

I had mine checked when I was young. Very gentle squeezing and rolling it around by the pediatrician. Checking each testis probably did not take longer than five seconds. During puberty, the testicular exam took a bit longer, and once the doctor told me what to feel for in a self exam. Now, they don't even check 'em unless I ask, which is weird since I'm in that age range where testicular cancer likes to strike.

Its strange that so many men have not had regular testicular exams. I had them from when I was very young. My parents made sure we had an exam each year before school. May have been a school requirement. I remember when I was that age I was always nervous about going to the doctor. I'm not sure whether I felt they would find something wrong or just the embarrassment. When I'd go in to be examined I'd just be in underwear. At the end of the exam the doctor would have me stand on the lower step of the exam table and ask me to pull down my pants. He would never pull them down. I would inevitably have an erection, not because the situation was erotic or anything. The doctor would check my scrotum and roll the testes. I don't remember if there was a hernia exam when I was really young. Several times, my mom would be in the room as chaperon. I have always had a bit of anxiety in my mind about going to the doctor, but also excitement that I would be ultimately undressed for the exam. The doctors I've had have never explained what they were doing. They have also never provided information on a self exam. My current doctor always asks to make sure I'm checking regularly.

I had my first real testicle exam at age 27. I was having testicular pain that wouldent go away. The doctor was a young doctor named Carla. She was very pretty and around my age or a few years older then me. She was very nice and very gentle. She felt of them for a couple minutes and couldent find anything wrong with them. Yes I enjoyed it very much. I started to blush a little and couldent help smiling a little. She noticed but it didn't seem to bother her. What was going through my mind was please don't be anything wrong with me. I was also thinking please collect a semen sample please jack me off please. I was hoping I would get an erection for her and get nice and hard but I didn't. I think she was just examining me but I was praying to God that she would do more. If she had made me an offer I would have said yes and let her and I would have promised that I would never tell anyone and would never want to get her in trouble. When she was done checking them she commented and said I was good looking down there and should not have any problem making babies. My heart skipped a beat when she said I had a nice looking penis and balls. She then bent me over the table and did a rectal prostate exam. Again she was very nice and very gentle. I moaned and cried out when she put her finger deep in my ass. She said to just relax and she is almost done. I was moaning and crying out the whole time she was in there which felt like forever. I tried to be quiet but it hurt and at the same time felt good and I couldent keep quiet. I think she might have liked me making noise a little bit. She then finished and said my prostate was swollen and infected. And prescribed me medicine and told me about what I had.

What???? For real?

Bigjohn, trust me when I tell you that she did NOT tell you "you look good down there", and she meant you have a good looking penis and balls. First of all, have you taken a look at a shriveled up penis sitting on a pair of balls lately? I promise you 99.99 percent of all women do not see a shriveled up penis sitting on top of hairy balls and think to them selves, "mmmm that looks so good".

She may have said to you, "you look good down there", or she probably said, "everything looks good down there". Either way it wasn't a compliment on your manhood, she was simply making a medical comment in laymens terms. She was trying to tell you that you didn't have any medical issues or concerns with your equipment.

I can also promise you that she will never ever hit on you or cross the line with you. And last but not least, I am very glad that you didn't get an erection while you were there in her office because that is completely and utterly disrespectful, distasteful, and childish.

Seriously??? So you mean if a guy has an involuntary reflexive physiological response to an extremely sensitive organ being touched ( penis ) or having pressure applied to it ( prostate ) that he's being rude and disrespectful? Really? If that's the case, then it must be equally rude and disrespectful for a woman to get "wet" during a gyno exam ( her body's way of trying to cope with a foreign object being shoved into it ) or have an erect nipple during a breast exam. It works both ways, doesn't it?

Even if the guy or gal DOES get somewhat aroused by being exposed to a med pro they find attractive, who cares as long as they keep their hands and dirty thoughts to themselves? Just finish the job at hand, send them on their way, and forget about it.

Oh wait, I forgot. That good ol' double standard again. Women are pure and innocent while men are all filthy pigs, even for things they can't always control. A guy can't even go to the doctor or a nude resort with being scorned or mocked over his anatomy, or by how his anatomy works. Does a hairy, shriveled-up vagina look any better than a hairy, shriveled-up penis? I don't think so.

I can't believe that it's almost 2016 and these attitudes are still so pervasive.

Seriously- society's male-bashing has gotten completely out of hand.

All guys should be getting regular physicals, yearly at least, and as part of any half decent physical the doctor should be carrying out a testicular exam. I have been getting annual exams for as long as I can remember and all bar a couple have included testicular checks.

Exams some years have been more lengthy than others. I'd feel short changed though if a doc signed me off as being in good health without checking an area of a young man's body which needs regular and thorough examination. Yes it may be a little embarrassing to have such a private and intimidate area of the the body touched by a doctor. It is however surely embarrassment well worth accepting for the peace of mind you get from being told all is healthy down there.

I am with Mashie.

In forty years of medical practice I have never seen an erection. I did hear a cardiologist say once that a patient developed one while he was doing a heart cath. The nurses recommended amyl nitrate which worked like a charm.

Okay, everyone needs to relax lol. Good lord already. If you read big johns post he writes and I quote,

"I was also thinking please collect a semen sample please jack me off please. I was hoping I would get an erection for her and get nice and hard but I didn't."

There is nothing at all in the least wrong with getting an INVOLUNTARY erection when having an exam. But the key word there is INVOLUNTARY. Erections happen, medical professionals completely understand that, and it's okay. But the reason I said, and I was talking to bigjohn, meaning him, that getting an erection was distasteful, disrespectful, and childish because he was trying to get an erection FOR the doctor.

Trying to get, or actually getting an erection on purpose for a doctor is not at all cool. And I am pretty sure all who convicted me in the above posts will agree with me. If you get an erection while being examined and have done so because of whatever reason, it's all good, we will work around it until it settles a bit, and we understand and are not offended. But when you do so on purpose so try to "hit" on us, then it absolutely is all of what I said.

So everyone take a deep breath, relax. Sometimes before you jump on someone you need to stop and think about who you are addressing. I am a nurse. How many times have you all heard me talk about respecting medical professionals. Well trying to get or getting an erection on purpose during an exam is no different really than just reaching out and grabbing a doctor or nurses boobies or penis. It's disrespectful, distasteful and childish.

So to wrap things up and make this simple, spontaneous erection that just happens because penis' do that sometimes, okay and acceptable, erections that happen because you try to make them happen and or want them to happen during an exam, NOT okay.

I think what Mashie said makes perfect sense. The real distinction is whether it's a voluntary or involuntary erection. It comes down to intent.

Getting back to the issue of testicular exams, I always thought/read/heard that testicular exams are not as important as a man ages. That's because testicular cancer is more prevalent in your 20's and 30's and that once you reach a certain age (say 40 or so), it's not as important. I know my doctor still does them right before she does my hernia exam, but maybe that's not as important for men my age (mid 50's).

What do the medical professionals say about this?

Thank you once again Jimmy for having my back here. I owe you one, or 5 or 6 now, lol.

You are correct about the age and importance of testicular exams. Testicular cancer is way more prevalent in your 20's and 30's, but like most all cancers they can strike at any time. My thoughts are that if your patient is standing there exposed and is there for a physical why not go ahead and examine them anyway. Better safe than sorry. And this isn't the kinky Mashie talking, this is Nurse Mashie with her nursing cap firmly on.

Mashie

Thanks for clearing that up Mashie. I agree 100% that DELIBERATELY trying to give the doctor a show is in very poor taste.

I've always had testicular exams at my physicals. For adolescent males, the exam seems to be 2-fold: to exam the testicles of course, but also to gauge pubertal development which is perhaps the more important aspect. For males of any age, the testicular exam is a gateway for the patient to mention genital concerns which might otherwise go unmentioned and for the doctor to provide info on self-examination and conduct age-appropriate sexual health questioning (i.e. condom use for adolescents and performance issues for older patients).

Thank you ILuvLadyDocs. I should have explained that in my first post and I do apologize that I didn't.

I also mentioned that 99.99 percent of women do not find a non erect penis and balls attractive, which is probably true, and definitely is true in a medical setting. But I will admit that I am probably the 0.01 percent that absolutely does find a non erect penis and hairy balls very attractive, hot even, lol. Not on my patients mind you, but on the person I am attracted to, yes, hell yes, lol. Honestly when I see that on Doc which isn't very often, it means I have a job to do, and trust me when I tell you, I love my job, lol.

I think that genitals on both men and women are ugly, unattractive; especially men. We have lots of hair on thighs and behinds. Men with lots of back and arm hair are gross looking to me. I can understand why many women shave their legs, arm pits and even genitals. Medical professionals have to look at that stuff all day. I could see how it might become a turn off for them.

As fond as I am of female genitals in a social setting they are merely work at the mill. Male genitals are always ridiculous, especially my own.

Thank you liquidsky. How could anyone look at our "junk" and get turned on by it?

If I remember correctly, my first testicular exam was when I had my physical going into the service.

Only been checked three or four times. Nothing special, no detailed memories.

The only comment once or twice was the observation that my right testicle is larger than my left. Not a problem, just an observation.

It's ironic that the area of the human body that provides the most pleasure also is the least attractive. I try to make mine a little better-looking with trimming and partial ( only partial ) shaving. I'll do the waxing thing one of these days.

I always find it hilarious how dedicated hippies, militant feminists, homophobes, and pedohysterics desperately cling to their untamed pubic bush like a starving mongrel with a rotting scrap of meat in its jaws. And they treat anyone who does pubic grooming as a weirdo, a sexual deviant, or possibly even a criminal.

Now please, I don't fit into any of those categories, and I like pubic hair! It's a matter of style....
