Ah good times.
[old joke]
Hey… wait a second… that’s not your finger!!
[/old joke]
It’s gay panic. If they didn’t make faces about it and profess loudly their discomfort (y’know, like a manly man), then maybe that meant they enjoyed it! PANIC PANIC PANIC!
One time I was at the doctor and he told me he had to check my prostate. So I bend over and feel his finger go in me. It was then I realized both of his hands were on my shoulders.
I swear I will never go to that dentist again
Yeah. NO! It isn’t. I’m not gay, nor am I homophobic and I don’t like it AT ALL. And my doctor is a petite lady. I’m still unsure whether that makes it better or worse.
Don’t forget the scraping. “You’ll feel a pinch” (OW) “and you might notice some bleeding later”.
I go because of the cancer test. And the birth control. (Doc won’t refill without the exam.) :mad:
whatever. this is just the usual “starving kids in Africa” put-down.
Haven’t thought about old Mr. **I want Dorrances **in a long time. Thanks for that.
Wait – you get a $100 Amazon card just because someone stuck a finger up your ass? Last time I had that it cost ME ten bucks!
The biometric screening was only half of it. I also had to spend a few minutes doing an online survey.
Interesting. I’m a 44 year old woman and haven’t had a doctor put a finger up my bum.
I’ve had a prostate exam, but to get a finger in my bum, I guess I’ll have to cross the pond to England. On this side, a bum is someone who hangs around Skid Row a lot.
They say ‘bum’ here too. (Lots of Canadians. A whole country full just a few miles away.)
Enjoy a mammogram sometime.
Johnny, are you not a helicopter pilot? I would guess that you have sucked up so much seat, that a doctors digit would be difficult to even notice.
I was just going to say the same thing.
One of the resident physicians at the hospital where I used to work said her 8-year-old daughter thought she wanted to be a doctor too, “until she found out that doctors have to stick their fingers up people’s butts.”:eek: 
I could just picture this woman walking in the door and a young girl says, “Mommy, did you have to stick your finger up anyone’s butt today?”
As for the pelvic exam, I have a very good-looking doctor and more than one woman has told me, “He can give me a breast exam any day!” 
Trust me, it isn’t any different when he does it. One time when he was doing my “girly checkup”, he kind of rolled his eyes and said, “People have no idea how many times a day we have to do this.”
It used to be a routine part of the pelvic exam, but my doctor doesn’t routinely do them on premenopausal women.
Sometimes they need to test rectal sphincter tone, especially if the woman has had a difficult delivery (I’ll spare any further details), and of course there’s rectal cancer and internal hemorrhoids that sometimes lurk in there.
Yeah, I’m 37 and have never had that either…and have had lots of attention down there due to babies and cystic ovaries and such.
Should I feel neglected?
In Australian rugby league there is a famous “Dr Hopoate” player with expertise in this area…
This. I don’t know why a prostate exam is such a traumatic event for most guys. It’s a fuckin’ FINGER, for god’s sake. Most things going through that orifice, on a daily basis, are considerably thicker. And don’t tell me that ingoing is different from outgoing, or that it wasn’t “designed” for something going in. Wah wah wah, indeed.
