Is It Normal To Get Erection While Testicle Examination And Ejaculation During Rectal Examination?
I recently had a prostate exam and embarrassingly got an erection while the doc checked my testicles which I thought had a strange lump. Then when he did the rectal exam and inserted a sonar thing I ejaculated. Is this normal for a guy of 50? It is very embarassing.

Yes it can happen so you have no reason to be embarrassed! When having an exam in that region, spinal nerves which your brain does not control can react and cause an erection. It doesn't mean you were aroused or anything.
When you have a rectal exam, the physical pressure on the prostate causes ejaculation of semen. We see this often when we do our prostate exams. Again nothing sexual.
