[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just asked my son who's 14 and still sees a woman (and she's [b]thorough[/b]) if it bothered him and he said "I'd rather have a girl feeling my junk than a guy" so take that as you will.[/quote]

Do boys regularly get their "junk" felt at the pediatrician? That's never happened for my daughter.[/quote]

It is important to check for un-descended testicles.  If not caught early, this can be a major operation later.  Could even threaten fertility.

Also, hernias are common, and can be life threatening if not detected early.[/quote]

Testicular cancer as well. Unlike most other cancers, it's actually most common in young men.

Also, if the boy isn't snipped, they gotta check for skin issues.[/quote]

In addition, there is penile cancer to screen for, although it’s much more rare than testicular cancer (but the prognosis and likely treatments are often devastating).  Suffice to say there are many health reasons boys need to be checked regularly.  Men too, but most skip the checks after 18.[/quote]
