brokynthoughts gave you good advice.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have never heard of routine testing of sexual function and I can't imagine such a thing would even be on the table, so to speak, unless you reported a particular issue of concern. As far as difference in the methods, if you don't have an intact hymen, the procedures should be the standard including the speculum and a digital exam. Even with a hymen present, they make virginal sized specula in order to provide a thorough exam without pain or difficulty. Just be sure to tell the doctor that you are a virgin so he is aware ahead of time that you will not only be nervous, but that he should use a smaller size speculum for the examination.

I dunno if they would try to check your sexual function ... and the exam is most likely going to be fairly similar just to rule out any sign of a problem that has nothing to do with sexual activity. At the same time, I'm sure you could probably wave the exam..but whats the fun in that ! ; )

Hello,

Despite being very sexually active *ahem* on my own, I've never had sex- never even come close. Since I am at an age where pelvics are getting routine, I'm wondering if the exam differs for someone who has never been sexually active (I am tight, but don't have an intact hymen). Would it change what they check? I've seen all sorts of references to checking your sexual functioning. Is this something that a doctor would do in my situation?
