MEN: did you have a pre-marital physical exam

I'm curious how many guys had a pre-marital physical exam. i realize that those exams are almost completely outdated as the concerns about std's are addressed these days through updated pharmacy treatments and options (i know there are other issues that brought about the need for pre-marital exams, so please don't beat me up in the comments). would any of you like to see the return of an emphasis on pre-marital exams?

Went through it when I married my late wife in 1998 in Canada.

Not at all - Surely the couples should be well aware of each others health condition and their idiosyncrasies before they reach their wedding day!!

Yes, it was compulsory at the time (this legal requirement has since been lifted, as far as I know). It was largely outdated - there were mandatory tests for some STDs but test for AIDS was not compulsory but only strongly advised. I suspect it was a relic from the days when women came as virgin to marriage and males often carried STDs from prostitutes.

No exam. And while it was a requirement in the past no requirement for a blood test either.

Yes. A certification from our doctor was required in 1984 for both my late wife and I to get our marriage license in Pennsylvania.

Apparently my ex and I had to have a bloood test to get a marriage liscense back in the 70’s in California. I don’t remember doing it, though. The requirement was dropped in 1980. My understanding was the blood test requirement came about to reduce the spread of syphlilis back in the 30’s I was never aware of anyplace in the US requiring a pre marital physical

Until just a few years ago Montana required women to be tested for rubella immunity before marriage. That law came about due to the German Measles endemic. If both husband and wife signed a waiver it could be waived.

Yes, fifty years ago we needed an exam to get a license. I had a male doc with a male trainee. The part I recall is being asked to strip it down meaning slide my fingers over my penis to check for discharge. He asked if I had been in the military. I suppose that would have made it more likely you were exposed to VD. I don't recall what my wife's exam entailed.

Married ~30 years ago.

No physical, just a blood test.

No.

Sub didn't need an exam 38 years ago. Though a physical exam would not show what might be wrong with him, these fetishes of his...gee whiz. Lol

No. No exams at all.

I just tested me about aids before going bed (the first time) with the girl who, some years later, became my wife
