A member asked:
Is it normal to get an erection during an exam? i am in my mid 30s and this still happens. i had a dermatologist exam with an elderly doctor (not sexual) but still became fairly erect when she was looking/touching down there?

Yup: That is very normal. The stimulation from being touched can cause an erection even if the situation is not in anyway sensual. I used to be a physician for a submarine squadron with all male patients- that was not an uncommon occurrence.
