I just got back from a full physical exam. Man that prostrate exam is humbling! The Doc had a female med student working with him today and I didn't argue when she stepped out for that part.
But luckily I have a band of friends promising to beat the shit out of the guy when we find him.
On the bright side, you'll probably be very careful in the future and won't allow something more critical to be stolen. Now, it's obviously entirely their fault, but my point is that it's better to have stolen a plaything if it's going to ensure that you'll be less likely to have stolen a work-thing in the future.
I had some friends in college who had their laptops stolen. Now that really sucks, especially if you don't religiously backup your files.

If there are two hands on your sholders, it isnt a prostate exam!
OK, a_greer just made me spit out my coffee laughing.
I am almost 33. What are the most recent recommendations in terms of when you ought to start these exams? They aren't something I am looking forward to starting, but also want to make sure I am looking after things, health wise.
How long did the exam take? I mean, if it is quickie and he is in and out in under a minute, then fine, I will deal with that. But, if he is working in there for a while, I think I'd atleast like him to buy me dinner, maybe some flowers.
besides, I bet the doctor doesn't like it much either... So it's a mutual relationship
Enh, to him you're just another living body that has functions to be checked. He doesn't take it personally and he's been in the business long enough to not be "weirded" out by it anymore.

I received my first prostate exam when I was around 30 as part of a physical. I've had two thus far and I'm only a couple years older than you.

The examination itself only takes about 15 seconds at the most--not that big a deal. I'm sure if you were at risk or much older, the doc would have to spend a few more seconds examining the contours of the prostate gland.
Incidentally, I've had the first exam standing up (leaning a bit over the end of the examination bed) and the latter lying on my side. I hardly felt a thing for the second, so you may want to try that position out the first time you get "poked."

I went for a physical a few months ago, but this wasn't brought up as a part of it, and I sure as shit wasn't going to ask for it.

While we're on humbling and sad shit, I got my PSP, Lumines, and a 1GB memory stick stolen yesterday because I was too stupid to put it in a locker.

Ouch. On both the prostate and Gene's heartless mockery of your post.

Heartless indeed!
Sorry about the loss Placebo

Female med student? Man, I'd be worried about getting a boner if she gave a physical...
It is a pretty compromised position Shawn. I think that would be the last think on your mind.

Would that really be a concern while another man is probing your ass? If you get wood in that situation, then maybe it isn't the med student...

As I said, it is a very compromising position
