There is a huge difference between unintended incidental flashing of intimate parts and deliberate and planned observation of examination and manipulation in the genital area. Usually the first happens unexpectedly, and the surprise and confusion of the unexpected event prevails over the other accompanying feelings and senses. Typically, the feeling of shame and inconvenience comes to a full extent after the incident when participants in the event assimilate what happened. In these cases, a witness of such an incident is not able to look into the details and perceives the situation as a generalized picture without specific details. It is fundamentally different when the mother planted her presence in advance while the upcoming event was known to her son to the smallest detail thanks to previous visits. Taking advantage of the medical office policy and her parental authority, she can enter the exam room with her son and take a position from which to have an unobstructed view of the whole procedure. And this usually included genital check at the end of the exam where the doctor pulls the underpants to boy's knees and conducts hernia and testicular examination and retraktion of the foreskin for check for phimosis. Practically, due to the small size of the exam room from such a distance she can see just as much as the examining doctor. Although I exclude any sexual aspect or any perverse interest of the mother to the naked body of her son, this presence will inevitably cause discomfort and shame in the mind of the developing young man. And maybe a certain amount of excitement too?
