Is it normal to get an erection when getting the yearly rectal exam?
I always get an erection when my female doctor, does a Digital Rectal Exam. The first DRE she performed was quite legnthy, as I have had anal fissure surgery, so she was being very gentle. She inserted her finger just a little bit several times until she could get it all the way in. As she massaged the prostate, she asked me if I "was rising to the occasion" and I meekly answered, "yes, sorry". She sighed, "Whew" as she looked around at my front, and commented "that is OK, this happens with some men. I thought it was your prostate!" She is always kind, and gentle and I am no longer embarrassed hen it happens
