Kleenex with a prostate exam

Not to hijack this thread . . .

Guys: Has your doctor given you a tissue before a prostate exam? I assume it’s just in case you have an orgasm. Now ok, I happen to be gay, and the doc happens to be very goodlooking . . . but I never express any of this to him. So I’m wondering whether he gives one to everyone or just the ones who raise his suspicion. Oh, and I guess this would apply to a female doctor as well, if not more so.

Yes, my doctor has given me a tissue. Not because I might come, I’m straight. He gives it to me because he lubes up his finger beforehand. I use it to clean the lube out of my anus before I pull up my shorts. I suspect that’s why your doctor gives you one, too.

Beforehand, no. Afterwards I wish he’d give me more.

Just to add, a prostate exam does not make me horny. In fact, it feels like I’m taking a shit in reverse.

Right, just like taking a shit in reverse. But some guys have sensitive prostates, nothing to do with being horny.

OK, I guess I see your reasoning. But the tissue is still for cleaning up your rear area before pulling your pants back up.

Straight doesn’t really matter in this case. I’m gay and it wouldn’t get me off either. But yes, I agree that the tissue is to clean the lube and any shit off.

I assumed it was for drying the tears.

I’ve examined thousands of prostates in my career, and am happy to say I’ve never had a single such exam result in an ejaculation for anyone in the room. I too supply kleenex, for the cleanup.

I will say that on 3 occasions, I had women get waaaay too into their pelvic exams. NOT good. :eek: Mental health issues in those circumstances.

Yeah, panache explained that some men have sensitive prostates and that pressure against it might cause them to ejaculate. I concede it has nothing to do with sexual desire or getting off. It’s just an involuntary reaction to a stimulus.

doc plops the dispenser box next to me.

Theirs, yours or enough issues for everyone to partake? :frowning:

I wish there were something a little more sturdy than tissues available - even two or three tend to shred for me under this application.

Clap clap clap.

He’s doing it wrong -

Kleenex, and a shot of penicillin.

Penicillin is NOT used for gonorrhea anymore, due to widespread resistance. So don’t prescribe it again for GC or the public health authorities will be on your prostate or equivalent gland.

Ceftriaxone or a floxin, along with azithromycin or doxycycline to cover for any chlamydia infections is the current standard.

GC gets identified and treated about 1 to 4 times a week where I work, chlamydia probably about 3 times as often.

PCN is still used for syphilis though. I treat about a case a year, maybe a bit less.

Just thought you’d want to know. :cool:

Do they vary much?

What are you looking for…bumps and other irregularities?

Thanks, Dr. Killjoy.

:wink:

They are different, when different conditions are present. Looking for signs of prostatic hypertrophy, prostatitis, and prostate cancer.

Big, boggy, or bumpy prostates are how they usually differ from the norm, in the above described conditions.
