Like many others, I hate going to the doctors. But the last time I went (about a year ago for a physical) the doctor decided to inform me of some safe sex practices.
When I told him I knew the information already he still continued on, so I just sat there and listened. What happened in the end was shocking and hilarious at the same time.
He pulled out a banana from his desk drawer to demonstrate the right way to put on a condom! I was surprised because he never did this before, but at the same time I couldn’t help but laugh.
He looked at me and with a serious face said you don’t understand how many guys get it wrong and are embarrassed by the situation. That only made me laugh some more. I know it’s something serious but it was just too funny.
After a few minutes, I settled down and let him finish his session. In all the years I had been to the doctors, that had to be the oddest yet hilarious thing that’s ever happened to me.
Has your doctor ever done something odd that caught you off guard? What? Was it funny, creepy or crazy?

Gee, maybe he's just sick of doing abortions and wants to make sure at least someone knows.
I'll be teaching kids about safe sex and HIV/AIDS prevention after I complete a class taught through Planned Parenthood. This is one of the things I was told we'll be doing, graphic demonstrations of that kind.
I'm all for it. I can see how it's bizarre out of the clear blue sky but it really is helpful. I can't tell you how many intelligent people I've spoken to who have had a condom break the first time they had sex because the guy didn't realize you have to pinch it at the top to leave room, etc.
HAHA. That is a freaking hilarious.
Nothing has happened to me like that ever. Too bad. It'd be a funny memory.
Nope! My doctors are too boring I suppose, lol
when a med student was giving me a physical, i guess he was still new and a bit of a nervous geek, so when he was examining my abdomens, he ended up tickling me instead.. not sure if that was intentional or not.. but it was pretty creeptastic..
Actually something like that sort of happened to me... only it wasn't my doctor.. it was my boyfriends.. lol. I'll lay it down : he pulled a muscle and his doctor glaced toward me (while speaking to him) "no more heavy lifting" I was embarrassed/mad not because he kinda called me fat, but because my boyfriend laughed and said "i know"
LOL that's pretty funny...at least your doctor wants to make sure you're having safe sex i guess.
haha that's funny =)
my doctor is never funny like that....although he's crazy, and one time asked me to help him find his glasses because he lost them and couldn't work without them....we spent the whole appointment looking for them...
It's a little bit funny, but the doctor was kind of smart to do it. Condoms would be a lot more effective if they were used correctly all the time, and apparently some people don't get it.
@TediousChatter@xanga - That was really rude of the doctor...
I wonder whether he was trying to put the condom on a peeled banana. I think that would take more skill that pulling the condom on over the banana's skin. Ignorance on the part of young men and women about sex is quite incredible. One young couple called the doctor to come (it was way out in the country) because they thought they were having a baby that very night. Reason: they had been married exactly nine months earlier to the day!
@Grampa_David@xanga - haha that's just too funny
@Grampa_David@xanga - do you have the link to the story? I would love to read that
My doctor has never done something like that. There was a Safe Sex Demonstration in my Health Ed. Class. I was taking notes, and when I looked up, I thought I saw a mini plunger thingy. My friend volunteered, and he had to go up and put the condom on it.
I had to get an abcess on my hip drained and when i dropped trou he was like "oh i see you wore your superman underwear today, you'll need it. I'm wearing mine too." i was wearing superman underwear but JEEZ was that really needed? lol
Nothing like that has ever happened to me. All my doctors are too boring. Sometimes they try to be funny (like my dentist) but fail miserably. Once I had chipped my front teeth really bad and had to get those cap things put on the bottoms of them. My teeth are a lot smaller than normal but look fine on me because my mouth is small too. So when he got done with them he gave me a mirror and he had made them huge! I looked like a beaver and started crying. He said, "what's wrong?" And when I told him they were way too big he replied "Well at least you can fit in with the local beaver population." I started crying even harder. Plus we don't even have beavers anywhere near here.
@girl_lost_in_the_dark@xanga - That dentist was mean to you! What a comment he made...
and the image I had in my mind was of a doctor whipping out his penis. That would be wierd, creepy, and gross all at the same time. The wierdest comment I ever got was, "OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? YOU ARE SO SKINNY. YOU'VE LOST TOO MUCH WEIGHT. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING STOP. JUST STOP" I am not sure why he didn't notice when I first got undressed.
@wordyferalvelociraptor@xanga - I know. I don't like that guy at all. He always stabs me and makes me bleed.
You should take it seriously
Just standard Doctors visits are pretty awkward. I remember a male Doc asking me to bend over to check my spine and I was in my underwear.
woah, when i read the title i thought it was gunna be about a doctor dropping his pants and actually showing you :S now THAT would be beyond creepy
seriously, you never saw the banana demonstration? It's commonplace now! They do it all the time.
And yes, I really thought the doc pulled his dick out to demonstrate. haha.
@ICONIC_COUTURE@xanga - Same!
I had a doctor hit on me (very obviously) when I was four months pregnant.
It freaked me out and I switched doctors right away.
It was one of the creepiest moments of my life because 1) I was 17, 2) I was PREGNANT, and 3) I was in a room alone with the man...
If he had done what you're doctor did I would have punched him and hightailed it out of there!
But that is funny.
