nudity and physical

[Tar_Heel-n-ATL]

I think the gown is to wear in case nurses or someone else need to come in the room before the Dr. is ready - so you aren't just sitting there alone in the room buck naked.

I had a physical earlier this year - naked w/ a gown on. When the Dr. was doing his exam, the gown might as well have been off because I was just holding it on my arm. He examined dicks, balls, prostate - even did an anal pap smear (now that's a treat let me tell you!). But he's also a gay man so we could joke about some portions of the exam.

No big deal.

I've been to a urologist before and he never had be completely disrobe.

that is because is is going for a body part,

when I went to the eye doctor I didn't get naked either.

Well, actually I did get naked for the eye doctor but that was at my place and the home of mutual friend and that was after hours.

I went to an andrologist once. I wasn't naked, had my shirt hiked up, no pants or underwear, and my legs spread wide apart so the andrologist could have access to what an andrologist accesses. Funny to be in a room covered with models and charts of penis' and balls and get precise measurements on everything with my legs wide spread like that - I felt like all I was about was a piece of meat - the doctor and I looking at my cock and talking about it matter of factly for ten-fifteen minutes - the test of cool...

but I needed the andrologist exam and it was an experience.

and I got confirmation that everything is the size it should be - a bit in the upper percentile* -

and the chances of me sireing a child (presuming I had intercourse with a woman, I was married then) were very low since my sperm are dorky deformed uncooperative and directionless little lazy swimmers. Asked how that happened, Dr Andrologist said probably from a low grade infection in the testicles that I wouldn't have really noticed. Nice, doctor, real nice.


*a few years later I had a broken leg, upper part of femur, and when they did an x-ray they got my cock in it - the x-ray tends to magnify things and damn did that look good! I wish I had that x-ray, it makes me look so damned well hung ---- I was impressed

The easy way around this would have been to give you a drape to keep over your lap until he needed access to your genitals. That would have relaxed you some and I think it would have been the right thing to do.

Those gowns are not really made for examining patients very well since you really have to take the whole thing off in order to get to most body parts.
