Your normal response: (which varies from man to man) is understood. Darker or double underwear can help w/cleanliness, e.g., briefs under boxers. Peace and good health.

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?
