2) at what age was the first visit?

3) alone or accompanied?

4) had you already had sexual intercourse?

5) did you undress behind a screen?

6) how did you undress? from the waist down, in a gown or fully naked?

7) did you also have a rectal/rectovaginal examination?

8 ) Was it painful or uncomfortable?

9) Was it embarrassing?

Thanks for answers!

Have you created it in the actual polls section?

Have you created it in the actual polls section?

It is not a poll, it is a questionnaire because it has 9 questions not one. I have changed the topic title, it used to say "poll" but now it says "questionnaire"
