My doctor always has me strip down to my briefs. Being a nudist, I would not have a problem if he did ask for those to go as well. He does his visual exam of my skin then will reach into my briefs to do the cough test. For the prostate exam, it's me lying on my side and lowering the back of my briefs for his access.

Sounds strange.
For a prostate exam my Doctor wears latex gloves, shelubes two fingers. When she is done she gives me tissues to wipe away the excess lube. Your Doctor either does not use lube, doubtful, orplaces his well lubed finger into your briefs? Doesn't this stain the briefs.
Often wonder to what extent the medical profession's general attitude as expressed in most of the above threads is simply a reflection of society's attitudes. Everyone has to be so cautious about litigation that doctors fear accusations if they are perceived as being overly relaxed about nude examination. Perhaps it really is up to us.
I have my annual physical coming up in a few weeks. Last year was with one doctor but I've found another, more gay friendly doctor and will go to this one this year. Last year, when the doctor asked me to undress to my underwear I told him I didn't wear underwear. He said ok and left me dressed and only had my drop my pants for the prostate check. When I was living overseas the doctors had me strip naked and they did the physical check up that way. Nurses would walk in to talk to the doctor and not bat an eye. I actually enjoyed the no hang up freedom. Does anyone ever completely strip for physicals anymore? If you freeball, do you wear underwear to dr visits? Should I wear skivvies?
I suspect most doctors avoid having patients fully strip to avoid the possibility of claims of inappropriate behavior, particularly among women with male doctors since there have been claims of sexual assaults by medical staff while the woman was somehow incapacitated and unable to move or say anything/call for help.
Personally, I'd have no problem going fully nude during medical exams or other procedures and did so once for a procedure for my prostate, teling the nurses during the preparation I am a nudist and was comfortable being nude if they were okay with it. The response was "we've seen worse." I then put aside the paper sheet while they continued to prep me and was laying fully nude when the doctor entered and remained so throughout the procedure.
I also go commando 100% of the time , including visits to my doctors' offices. I've never received any negative comments for doing so.
