Embarrassing erections during physical exam?

Is this normal? During the last two or three physical exams, I  developed an erection as the doctor examined my testicles?  I'm rather self-consious about it and dread going to the doctor for an annual exam in fear that it is not normal or happens again.   Thoughts?

Liquid on glans is necessary to lubricate the penis to facilitate to penetrate into vagina.this is  normal for  male and female to wet their genitals.Not oozing of liquid is abnormal. so your normal and don't worry.

It's common in some men. Doctors have seen it all, nothing you do is going to raise an eyebrow with a qualified and professional medical staff working with you.

My problem is not so much getting an erection, but my problem is everytime I have a phisical exam I start leaking the clear liquid like when you about to have sex. When I am standing there, it just starts leaking out.This is just as embarassing as an erection!  Is this common?

Ive been in exam and procedure situations that its next to impossible not to become erect, in-fact, on evaluation for ED with caverject I was more forced to become erect. Yes, its really embarrassing, but its just part of the male system, if the urologist couldnt handle it they wouldn't be in the biz...

Hi i get erections all the time especially around girls so what should i do? I always like to imagine myself with an old doctor but when the nurse comes in and takes a look at my penis i get hard and she just smiles. then i actually start having thoughts of ******* her in the ***** and sucking on her ****

That's the very reason why I have a female doctor (I'm male).  If anyone is going to be giving me an exam down there, then I might as well make it worth her while.  If I happen to get an erection, then that's just a bonus for her.

But honestly, just don't let it bother you.  Doctors have seen it all.  Just relax.
