Prostate implies an Antistate

Today, I went to go see a specialist for my prostate and was told he would have to do an exam before I could leave. Having had this checked just the previous year, I was more than a little irritated. As I was bent over the table the Dr. said, "Now, just pretend I'm Angelina Jolie." FML

And just pretend this is Angelina Jolie's...?

...finger instead of the doc's, I guess. I've heard that men have very sensitive nerve centers (like a ********) in that area. Gay or straight, it's supposed to feel quite good to have it stimulated right - which I hope the doc wasn't trying to do. I wouldn't be pleased if, while getting a breast exam or gyno check-up, the doc told me to imagine he's Gerard Butler or someone. Highly inappropriate of him and most awkward if you actually did!

@ 88 It can be painful if you have a problem. I don't know anyone who's had a pap smear and a prostate exam so I guess we'll never know. Plus, different people have different pain threshholds. And to the thing about comparing anal to the exam, that's like comparing a mamogram to getting felt up by your bf. It's not meant to feel good but you have to suck it up and do it but fun little comments from the "professional" don't help.

I hope you replied "just pretend my erection is brad pitts"

lol. does he want you to get a boner? lol!

Holy shnikes. I just laughed until my sides hurt. Thanks, OP. I needed that. xD

99!!! My brother keeps trying to get me to watch that video, but after hearing the responses of a few watchers, I don't believe I will. Also, LOL at Chuckles Knuckles Norris. I can't stop laughing.

YDI for being irritated with a prostate specialist for wanting to give you a prostate exam. I mean what was he supposed to think when you were apparently surprised that a specialist wouldn't just ask a layman for what he remembers another doctor mentioning during an exam you had within the last year? He was probably trying to get you to lighten up. For those of you guessing what this is like, you need to stop. You'll have a hard time finding a man who won't complain about this. If you're straight it's painful and unnatural. (I don't know if it feels unnatural for gay men but I doubt it's painless, especially in the OP's case where he had to go because something was wrong.) What happens is you have a muscle inside your body that, normally you shouldn't even be aware of, getting prodded repeatedly while it's sore by someone's bony fingertip. This will probably be done by a stranger or, at the very least, someone you have no desire to know you that well. Prostate exams don't involve pictures or scans or anything of that nature, though. They involve a doctor actually feeling the muscle and making a conclusion from that. This comes back to why the OP needs to shut up about getting an exam previously. Just how the hell did you not expect a prostate exam when you went to see a prostate specialist? Why not complain about taking your car to a transmission specialist and him wanting to examine the transmission himself instead of letting you explain what you remember another mechanic saying?
