>Being 15 years old and wearing only a gown, the university doctor had be laying on my left side with my legs drawn up and then not saying anything, he thrusted his finger deep into my anus It did hurt even though he wore a latex glove.
Two years later, I was in the university hospital. The doctors seemed intriqued by the king size erection that I was sporting. The nurses liked how I was so co-operative in taking the thick nozzle of the Barium enema into my anus.
