i've been playing sports since a kid and going to sports camps all the time so i've been getting physicals like that at least every year and with injuries sometimes more. i also have bros so being shy didn't cross my mind much. but then when i just started to be a teen i got hard all the time for no reason whatsoever so maybe for about one year i sort of got nervous cuz i used to think 'what if it's a female doctor or nurse or something?' there would be no reason to get hard but just thinking about it at home made it worse. but also at that age i started working out too AND i finally realized that people get impressed by big size. i have noticed some doctors/nurses (just a few) seemed to be impressed by either my body or size or both (not to sound conceited or anything but you could just tell -- and they weren't necessarily creepy about it). so, i just go in so confident now that i'm totally calm. not sure if that makes sense.

one thing tho, is that i used to get hard putting on jocks and stuff, like getting ready with pads and stuff. there was no reason at all for it. i really think it was just the feeling and i had not control over it. there was times i had to wear a cup but i couldn't put it on cuz i was hard and there was no way i could get it on. that totally sucks, especially when its hard to get privacy.
