I am going to turn 40 early next year and plan to have my first and honestly can say I am not looking forward to it.
 
In cases of legitimate Prostate examination, the sphincter has the ability to shut the whole thing down.

I'm thinking you'll be needing to hand in your Mancard. After all, the finger went in and the finger went out. You can't explain that.

Boo-hoo. I've been having credentialed women sticking one of these

in my hooha and poking around every year for the last 26 years.

THEN she does the rectal exam. Cry me a river. 🙄

Yep, what she said.

You forgot to mention how miserably cold the speculum & stirrups are, and the graceful position one must maintain during the exam while a stranger has their face well within one's personal space.


Due to family history, I've also had the pleasure of having to undergo a colonoscopy as well. With a colonoscopy the prep is much, much worse than the exam, but at least you are blissfully knocked out during the actual exam.
 
I turn 30 this month, and will be having my first butt poking shortly thereafter. I may even trim my ass hair for it.

What about a medical screening, have you thought about a Dr. office visit?

On a serious note, if you want to impress the ol' Doc, a laser and bleach goes a lot further than a trim.

As someone who's actually done prostate exams, I honestly couldn't give a shit whether you have hair or not.

Just wait until you get old. (like after 40) Your doctor will want to do it with every physical. For that reason, I choose doctors with small hands. 😛

And then you get to add in the colonoscopy every 5 years after that point.
Fasting for a day and flush out your system the day before.
Just to have a camera sent up to peer around at your insides.
 
It feels like you poopied all over their hand when they retract...I literally was like "oh my god, I just shat on the doc's finger", then realized I didn't. Good times, would do again!
 
Really? You guys are that freaked out over this? Imagine the cancer ravaging your insides, the years of suffering you and your family can go through. The pain, the uncertainty, and all that goes with it, just so you don't get a finger stuck up your ass. Sounds like a plan to me!

I'm one of the old fucks around here and had a prostate infection about 15 years ago and have had it done every year since ( I'm 47) It is no big deal, honestly. Get it done, and its over before you know it.


Peace

Nope, I've had a camera shoved up my dick though. Did you know it's not possible to numb the internal sphincter?

It's use has been questioned and it does have some evidence that it is low on the ability to find prostate cancer... unless you are having a prostate issue.

That being said, you aren't just checking the prostate with a rectal exam..
So guess what guys.. it aint going anywhere.

I have a question... Is it normal to have the doctor put both of his hands on my shoulders during the exam?
 
Had a couple. Most recent one was about 4 months ago. I had my gall bladder out ~16 months ago and ever since I occasionally have bowel "issues." After a particularly bad spout I went to my doc and explained the situation. She informed me that she had to do a rectal exam (first in many, many years). Suffice it to say it was not fun. But she was able to tell that I had some internal hemorrhoids and not anything more serious. I felt violated but relieved at the same time.

Fricking gallbladder surgery though. I still have occasional bowel distress, and recently I learned from my doc that I have an incisional hernia at one of the surgical sites.

I have Ulcerative Colitis so anal privacy isn't something that exists for me. I get doped and scoped rather than poked though. I prefer it that way.



Glitter makes any event more festive.

Since you get scoped - do you eat the glitter to create light show for the doc?
