Last prostate exam for me, doc apparently globbed more lube than usual. I needed more than a Kleenex, could’ve used a roll of Bounty. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > 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. Exactly, he gives it to you to wipe your ass after he checks your oil. ---

For 30+ years I’ve been saying as I get the speculum ready that no one has ever said they like these exams- and if any one ever does, I’m leaving. So last week!!! Some one said “That was nice”…erk. I was already almost out the door. Back when I did prostate exams, I would indeed threaten a second opinion if they didn’t hold still, Sam. And now, in the high resolution anoscopy age, I do see a few men. It takes 10-15 minutes, what with the vinegar and biopsies and all, and in the three years I’ve been doing those there’s been no awkwardness other than embarrassment of having a grayhaired old lady look up your butt. I do give them a whole box of kleenex, and wipes. ---

Having a Finger feel Your Prostate is NOT always a negative/odd/whatever Experience. Hey Guys, haven’t any of You ever had Your Woman/Wife/Girlfriend Stimulate your Prostate {with Her Lubricated, Filed-short-Nailed Finger} during Sex with Her?? In case You don’t know, when She Presses gently down on Your Prostate at the Exact same Second You start Your Orgasm, the Feeling is SUPER Intensely Fantastic! You’ll Orgasm a few Seconds longer, and the Volume is Greatly increased-- Which Feels MUCH Better than a regular Orgasm!! 😃 ---

Analisa Massage. You can google them. (The name is a bit of a pun. “Anal Lisa,” get it?) ---

My doc always gives me a kleenix to wipe my rear end. After what I endure, you would think he would wipe it as a favor… The first time I had my prostate exam, I started to sing “In the Navy” and he lost it. Afterwards he mentioned “Moon River” as in Fletch. So we do a “Moon River” duet now 😃 My last exam, he was on vacation so got I his PA. Her thumb was much smaller; I think next year I’ll use her again 😉 ---

The first and only prostate check I ever had was in the service. I was twenty-one years old, and the doc said “At your age, this isn’t usually considered necessary, but I like to check just in case.” :eek: I swear he had his whole arm up there… ---

Some of these posts made me laugh out loud. "I assumed it was for drying the tears. " “Thanks, Dr. Killjoy.” “Sorry, Mr. Looking For Joy In A Prostate Exam Thread.” (That one had _me_ in tears.) “I ask my doctor to use two fingers, because I want a second opinion.” So in appreciation, I offer this: What do you call a Rastafarian proctologist? Pokemon. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kleenex-with-a-prostate-exam/707839.md?page=2)
