[quote=Anonymous] +1. Occam's Razor, folks. Adolescents are famously self-conscious about their bodies, and especially about their privates - just like regular adults, but way more so. I don't find OP's son's reaction all that strange, but again, I was like this too because I just found the whole process of physicals so mortifying and violating. I'm just an unusually self-conscious and easily embarrassed person in general, so those visits were a big trial for me. ++ I am in my 40s, never abused, I recall being 12 and not going through with a physical and refusing to talk to the dr and my mom apologizing for my surliness, I was just embarrassed to death about it, lol, at that age and did not want to disrobe or have embarrassing convos with the doctor or anyone else. Early teen angst or whatever.. [/quote]
