Does YOUR REAL doctor ever ask about masturbation?

Do doctors ask about masturbation during an exam?

"Do dr's ask about masturbation during an exam?"

No!Never happened to me, and I would find it strange if they do...

No, according to my wife.

The most they do is ask if you are able to have an orgasm because that tests for continuity of the spinal nerves all the way down the chorda equina.

The erection (penis and clitoris, as well as lubrication) is controlled by the parasympathetic nerves and the orgasm is carried by sympathetic nerves.

They don't ask if you masturbate unless you are having a specific problem.

They usually ask if you are sexually active, especially if you have any urogenital symptoms.

Nope, she has never asked me about it. I'd figure she just assumes that I do it, like most all people.

I was never asked ... I think that they know that we all masturbate ,,, like they do as well ...

No, I have never been asked about masturbation.

Never been asked either.

I actually did get asked about that by a doctor. I got married wicked young - teen pregnancy and all that goodness. Well I was 19 so it could have been worse. Anyway my gyn was a younger female and after the post natal stuff was through she did have a talk with me about sex, sexuality, orgasm etc. It was like a cross between a big sister and an aunt and it was wonderful. She was/is the best doctor I've ever known and if I didn't now live on the other side of the state I would still be going to her. Yes she asked if I masturbated, could orgasm, encouraged me to experiment etc. since the. Doctors have asked if I am sexually active and if I had any 'issues sexually' but not in the kind of frank detail she went into and yes, it did turn me on a little given the circumstances. The convo happened while I was gowned up but before the exam. I suspect I was a little more moist than usual when it came to the actual examination. After and for quite some time I fantasized that she had me show her how I brought myself to orgasm. That was my go to rub session fantasy for quite a while haha

Never have been asked.

Never in my life have I been asked

I've been asked in the context of talking about problems having orgasms when I'm on antidepressants and also in regards to urinary nerve problems I have ongoing.

When I was still a teenager, maybe around 15 or so, I developed some dark brown spots on my abdomen. They were not like a rash, or insect bites, maybe more like a discoloring of the skin in a somewhat oval-like but random pattern. And they kept getting larger and larger.

I already knew then (from reading in my grandfather's old self-help medical book) that skin discoloring is often a sign or precursor to many types of skin cancer. So, somewhat fearful, I nevertheless told my parents (but nothing about my thinking it skin cancer) and they made a doctor's appointment.

Well, it turned out to be very little, just some kind of rash caused by something that I now forget. The doctor quickly examined me, chuckled a bit and prescribed some sort of peroxide solution which ended up doing the trick and the discoloring went away.

But before I left, he asked me with a rather silly grin on his face 'what I thought it had been? why was I so worried?' And he pointed to my abdomen and made some indeterminate motions.

For some reason I didn't want him to think me a doomsday prophet, so I said nothing about my thoughts on skin cancer. I just mumbled something about it being unusual and out of the ordinary and mumbled some other nonsense.

Later, I understood that he had been asking in a roundabout way if I thought the discoloring had come from masturbating. Since the spots were just on the region I would have ejaculated on when lying on my back while jerking off. It took me a while to figure out what he had been asking. And then I was sorry I hadn't shown off my very rudimentary medical knowledge. He'd thought I was just another horny teenager with no knowledge whatsoever.

One doctor asked me if I had any thoughts about sexuality or various areas of growth, but it was awfully vague.

No, mine never asked that kind of question.

My doctor only ask me tha when i was at a post-op exam after having surgery tight forskin.

And that was only in refrence to if i was having any pain duering.

Yes I have had the question asked and yes I have responded truthfully and affirmatively

I've never been asked. However, it once was suggested to me by a doctor. I had been having pain during intercourse, and she said "Well, maybe you could you know... warm yourself up first? Or maybe get some toys or something to help you learn how to relax your muscles." She was professional about it, so it wasn't weird or anything and I definitely remembered her suggestion for the next time.

I've never had a doc ask this. I would be super embarrassed to answer it....My old gyn's office had a new patient questionnaire that had questions about the gender of your partner and anal sex, but I think those were to help pre screen for certain STDs.

I can not imagine that a doctor would ask about masturbation unless there was a medical reason for asking. It would be totally unprofessional for a doctor to ask about masturbation "just because they were curious."

For a guy, the two reasons I could imagine for a doctor asking would be:

Investigating genital irritation, or investigating erectile dysfunction, ie. do you have erections during masturbation but not intercourse?

I am surprised that it is not a more regular question. It is one I would ask a patient. As I would about any recent sexual activity,

The possibility of the effects of a recent masturbation to the results from a gyno exam is quite strong. The extra collection of fluid due to arousal, might be misinterpreted if the recent pattern of mastrubation was not understood. The effects of recent natural swelling and inflamation in the genital area may also be misconstrude,

I went to my real doctor, reluctantly, a few days ago for help with erectile problems.

He asked me both about my experiences during intercourse and masturbation.

The doctor said that more patients are coming to him than previously, due to more openness regarding sexual problems.

We'll see how I will progress, but I've made the first step.

As a boy, I started masturbating at about 13, doing it at least once a week, allways with a strong feeling of guilt..

This situation increased my fear of the yearly medical examination at school. It included a genital exam and I was afraid that the doctor would see (how?) that I masturbated. i was allways afraid that she would ask the question.

From 15 to 17, every year, as the doctor was checking my penis and testicles, the nurse did ask if I had had any sexual relations. On those three occasions, i answered "no", waiting with anxiety for the question on masturbation to come. It never came.

No doctor asked me about masturbation in the following years, but I was asked about masturbation in a three-hour interview with a female psychologist, as part as an exam to enter a bank. I was then 27 , had eventually found a girlfiriend and was feeling less guilty about masturbating. The psychologist asked me at what age I had started, if I was still doing it though I had a girlfriend, how often I did it, and so on; I guess the idea was to see how I would react to a very personal.question. Anyhow, I did not pass the exam.

Svensson, I would say that the only institution that would have the right to get an answer to that question would be for a position regarding national security. Otherwise, the psychological bullshit is none of their business.

Yes, seems like every visit I have seen him. My initial consult was two years ago consisted of disrobing completely and I had to stand there butt naked. He asked me how many times did I masturbate while he was examining me in my scrotal area. He even performed a complete rectal and prostate exam. I thought it was weird but I considered him a good doctor being he was older and asked me alot of questions. He retired this year and my last exam with him was the same? My new doc doesnt even sit with me for 5 minutes and he leaves.

Happyman,

You seems have regrets about this old doctor, i can understand it, today many doctors prefer to spend very short time with each patient, i dont think it's a real progress.

As a Nurse Practitioner in an adolescent and GYN practice this question is always asked by me. I consider masturbation a form of both sex and sexuality. With the older kids and adults I try to ease any form of embarrassment by phrasing it as a conjoined question. ¨Are you presently sexually active with anyone, even if just yourself¨? It usually gets a laugh and a thorough answer!

Get a flamin slap round the face if he did, that is breaching boundaries and here in the UK, perhaps as in other Countries, those kind of questions are not considered appropriate to ask.

21finish, I also have never had a doctor ask about my masturbatory practices and I have been taking the little blue pill for a few years now. The urologist who first prescribed it for me after my wife told him I was having problems maintaining an erection never asked me. I no longer see him because I went to see him initially about another issue that has since remedied itself and my primary care physician renews the prescription and she just asks how often I am using it - not often enough, but that is another story - and leaves it at that. If you do need "the little blue pill" may I suggest that you ask your doctor for the 100mg and split it into 4 and see if that is enough to help at this stage of your life. I was able to go for a year on 1/4 of a pill then I had to go to 1/2 then to 3/4 and now I am at a full 100mg. I don't know what I will do if this stops working, this forum may be out one member because I don't think I can stand living not being able to have intercourse with my beautiful wife of 30+ years. Good fortune with your appointment and be sure and let us all know how it went.
