[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boys at 12 felt uncomfortable having a female doctor checking the private parts. We changed to a male doctor.[/quote] Same here. My son, um, [i]rose to attention[/i], the last time a female doctor checked his privates and was so embarrassed that he refused to go back to the doctor unless it was a man. A couple years later he realized it wasn't a big deal and decided to switch back, but those early puberty years are rough.[/quote] I wish boys realized that this is something that happens all the time. I'm a family nurse practitioner (so I examine both kids and adults) and it happens with males of all ages, It's not anything sexual, it's just a natural reaction to touch. I either ignore it completely or make a joke about how "it's good to know everything's working properly" depending on the patient. I promise that we've already forgotten it happened by the time the patient walks out the door.[/quote]
