Girls knowing what happens at boys' school physicals

Growing up, did the girls at your school know that boys' physicals included a genital exam? How much did they know? What were their thoughts?

I'm thinking about this because I recently saw a video on Youtube titled "Op de hielen van de schoolarts (2)". It's a video about a day in the life of a Dutch school doctor. At the beginning of the video, when she's introducing herself to the students, she says something that translates to this:

"I'll listen to your heart and lungs, look into your ears, look at your teeth. With the boys I'll also take a quick peek inside the underpants. I know it's not a fun thing, but it will only take two seconds to check if everything is in place."

All of the boys' female classmates are present when she says this, and you can see some embarrassed expressions on the boys and some giggles from the girls.

When I was 10 years old, the boys had the physical before the girls. A girl asked me for details. I told him that we had only kept our briefs, but I did not tell him that the doctor was looking inside, and more as only looking for uncircumcised boys.

I vaguely recall a school physical where our genitals (for us boys) got examined (testicle palpation, unsure now about foreskin retraction). There was the rumor that they also asked the girls to lower their panties but we could not get them to talk about it.

Pecan Nutjob, did the girls know that the physical included a genital exam for the boys?

At our school the girls certainly knew, most of the boys were quite vocal about it maybe a later generation of not caring, it was worse for me as my school nurse knew my parents so I didn't find it the best

Tubwheat: Some of them knew at least, some of the boys had commented about it.

How did the girls react to knowing? Did they ever talk about it?

Where I went to school, we never had a school physical like that. Usually, we all went to the local doctor for our school physicals. However, at the grade-school age, I remember several times being in the same room as my sister and that our physicals were done at the same time!

What was the age difference between you and your sister? What did your exam consist of compared to her exam? Did she ever comment on it?

In a similar vein, I had regular treatments in my teens which during which I would have to undress completely and have my penis and testicles examined.

My sister is 2 years older than me and was aware of the details of what went on and I'm sure also discussed them with her friends

What treatments were they? And how was your older sister aware of the details?

At my private parochial school, an examination was required upon entrance, but with the student's own private doctor. The checklist did include a requirement for a genital exam. My guess is the girls that had brothers in the schools probably knew about the requirement. Interesting enough, I never saw the checklist for girls.

As a boy in a Catholic school I can't remember that the subject ever came up. I do remember wondering if a girl got an enema at home when they missed a day for being sick. I would guess probably half did. I also wondered what color panties were up those school uniform skirts, although I had few chances to find out.

Moppys: I did an examination for military stuff and had my testicles palpated. The sheet had an urinary/genital system line. I wonder what they did to the few girls - I doubt they did a pelvic, I suspect they skipped this line or just did it by interrogation.

What treatments were they? And how was your older sister aware of the details?

I was late starting puberty and had monthly (approx) exams during which my progress was monitored and I received hormone injections. I also had a tight foreskin and was receiving non surgical treatment for that at the same time.

Obviously my sister was aware that I was going for treatment, it would have been odd to lie or disguise the reason for it anongst family members - and she would in any case have been aware of teasing among my peer group.

Once she knew what was wrong with me it didnt take much to work out what treatment might involve

Did your sister ever talk about it?

Some of the girls in my schools knew that our sports physicals involving a genital or hernia exam. Hard to say how much they knew but they had heard from their brothers or someone about our exams and knew that we were stripped down to our underpants and had our balls checked and hard to cough during that part of the exam. The boys sports physicals were at school before school started and I had one every year from 7th grade to 12th grade because I played sports every year. Some girls would joke with us about us having what they called the "cough test" and would even cough to try to embarrass us. As far as I know, there wasn't any similar group exam for girls but everyone seemed to know about our physicals so I guess that there was talk about their brothers or boyfriends going to school and getting examined. It was embarrassing to have girls talking about it when I was in junior high. Not so much in high school except when we were freshmen and the senior girls wanted to embarrass us by asking how we liked having our balls handled by the doctor and whether the doc weighed our balls or measured our dicks.

I had never been in France in a mixed gender school.

At my time in the last 50's and first middle of 60's, the schools were still only boys or only girls.

We were examined after undressing in group and had always a genital inspection.

But of course it did not protect us from rumors especially when some boys had sisters a little younger or older.

When the school became all mixed genders in the 70's, I guess that the girls heard by rumors how the boys were examined and certainly knew that there were a few differences with their own examinations. I doubt that the girls had to undress in group in just panties like boys had to do in just briefs under supervision of a PE teacher in a locker room and to be instructed to remove them like it was sometimes for boys for a weigh-in and a check of spine and of course the inspection of the genitals and a visual examination of the anus, it was a usual part of the examinations of boy's students by a woman doctor assisted by one or two nurses when there was a training young nurse but I don't know if the girls had a so much thorough examination each year and I doubt also that they had to strip completely under order of a Pe teacher like me at high school in the locker room before entering in the examination room.

The girls in France knew also how the boys of 18 aged were examined at their draft boad physical examination in the nude in front of a draft board commission, being stark naked for a long while since it was an examination by large groups for the compulsory military service. It was well known in all families, so young girls knew it also and could tease their brothers.

Going to school back in the 1950s & early 1960s in Texas there was no required school physical. You had to get a smallpox vaccination was the only thing required and that was done at the private family doctor's office. The school did check to see that you had it by looking at the scab on your upper arm and we were all cautioned to be careful and not hit or bump another kid's smallpox scab. The only school physical for boys was for playing sports, football for me, and it was done after school in the gym with us stripped down to underwear. The doctor pulled them down part way to check for hernia and that was it. I'm not even sure he listened to out heart. He may have looked at the penis as he was doing the hernia check, but he did not touch it or retract the foreskin on me at least. I didn't really watch the other boys when he checked them.

I have no idea if they did school sports physicals for the girls at my high school. If they did, I never heard anyone ever talk about it or even mention it. If they did I sure wish I could have heard some girls talk about what they did to them and how far they had to undress for it.

At my H.S. school, the majority of the girls knew about the boy’s school & sports physicals involving a genital & hernia exams. Actually, there several ways the girls found out the details of our exams.

First, many heard directly from their brothers, boyfriends or just guy friends that we had to drop our pants & underwear then the doctor checked our penis, balls and coughed for the hernia part of the exam. For me, my sister knew exactly as she watched our family doctor pull my underwear down and look at my dick, feel my balls and then cough test. Second, the school always posted a copy of letter sent home to our parents. It gave a detailed description of the entire physical: vitals, heart ending with a hernia check. I don’t remember exactly, but a portion of the letter stated something like “your son will be required to lower his pants & underwear for a genital and hernia exam”. Finally, the nurses had members from the school’s “future athletic trainer & medical professional club”assist them during the exams. Usually, more girls than guys volunteered they usually checked people in & out plus recorded information. Normally, the room was really quiet so they would hear the doctor telling us to “ drop your pants” and “turn and cough.” Depending on their positioning, they also had a view of the privacy screen area witnessing guys letting their pants fall to the floor.

The boys physicals, everything but Fall sports given during school hours usually in the morning. For me, it was every year from 9th grade to 12th grade late September or early October.

Then some of the girls would try to embarrass us guys by joking about us having to “dropping our pants” or the "cough test.” Of course, leading to more jokes bout having having another man feeling our dicks and balls or getting groped.

I remember when I brought home a firm for a physical exam for junior high basketball. It was a health history that I would have to take to the exam which was on a Saturday morning at the school. My sister and cousin heard about it and asked a bunch of questions. They seemed to know we had to take down our shorts but weren’t real clear on what actually happened and wanted to know details.

To me the physical was pretty much a nothing burger. Yes we did have to drop our shorts and get the cough test and yes, my sister probably knew about it. She also knew that I knew she got enemas around period time and she knew better than to start something she couldn't finish.

How old were you and your sister when this happened? Also, did the exam include a foreskin check for uncircumcised boys?

Do you remember their questions and your answers?

In my earliest physical exams I can remember, school physicals, three or four of us were led out to a trailer or RV in the parking lot, which was a mobile medical unit. I think it was done alphabetically, at least it was often small groups of girls and boys. While one of us was in the exam room, the others were playing with toys in the waiting room. Certainly, after the first year we each had a pretty good idea what was being done to each other.

I was always just in my briefs, or just socks, or naked. That was part of the excitement to me, knowing my classmates were just on the other side of that thin divider wall during my exam, and then thinking of them being checked over when it was their turn.

Later, in high school, at a sports physical I heard two female classmates in the outer office asking the nurse for aspirin or Tylenol. The door to the exam room was open a few inches, and the back room, where several of us guys were undressed to just our underwear, that door was wide open. I later saw those girls in the hallway as I was leaving, and they burst into giggles. So, I think they had a good idea what was going on in there.

How old were you and your sister when this happened? Also, did the exam include a foreskin check for uncircumcised boys?

I know it happened twice, when I was 13 and 14 years old.

Yes, the school doctor checked anyone uncircumcised. I’m uncut, he checked for any foreskin tightness, cleanliness and development. Before the doctor just retracted your foreskin he’d ask if your foreskin was tight or loose. The one thing I disliked was his cold hands touching my penis and balls.

At least in high school, the girls definitely knew. In fact, it would occasionally come up in mixed-gender group conversations. The girls would poke fun at the boys, saying things like "We don't have to get molested at our physicals!" and would reference knowing, at the very least, about the "turn your head and cough" portion of the boys' physicals. That said, I have very distinct memories of one guy retorting "You guys have to get your boobs checked!" and the girls giggled, with one of them replying "Yeah, but that's not the same." That scene was burned into my mind, because although it seemed the girls didn't have any sort of genital exam, they did undergo breast examinations.

Were there any girls in particular who you wanted to witness undergo a breast examination? What were their physical attributes?

I do because I remember saying to my new b/f that the Dr was going to see and feel more of him than I had.

Yeah, the girls in my school did. I knew a girl - Tammy, if you are on this site, say hi, because I KNOW you grew up to have a medical fetish! - who was FASCINATED by boys' physicals.

When my school did big ones, they set up stations in three locations - the gym, the training room, and the final stations in the actual school health office. They were not secret. If those areas were hosting exams, there would be signs posted, "Gym Closed for Physical Examinations." Plenty of girls would hear rumors from brothers, boyfriends, etc. Some would stroll by, hoping to catch glimpses.

Physical exams were notorious enough at my school that 5 or 6 guys on the football and wrestling teams did a sketch about them for the Senior Assembly the year I graduated. So, the basics of them, at least, were widely known.
