Does YOUR REAL doctor ever ask about masturbation?

The only time a medical professional has asked me about masturbation was the female NP at Limitless Male. I was describing my difficulties with delayed ejaculation and she asked if I masturbate and am able to ejaculate that way. I answered her honestly that I do, and I can, but less often than I used to. We then discussed the heart rate aspect of orgasm during intercourse and that the body has to essentially ‘decide’ if your heart is going to receive the blood/oxygen it needs or if it is going to go to keep your penis erect and allow ejaculation--basically a nice way of saying if I was in better physical condition, coming during sex might be as easy as during masturbation. This was by far the most intimate and productive discussion I've ever had with a medical professional regarding sexual activity.

I saw my PCP for testicular pain and a lump I found. During the interview before the physical exam he asked me about pain or difficulty with ejaculation. He didn't specify sex or masturbation, and I don't think he really cared how ejaculation was brought on, the end result is the same to him (at least in this case). It turns out I had epididymitis.

No never

Never

Not anymore. I guess at my age most docs think that activity is for younger folks. However, when I was younger; my doc asked during almost every checkup.

I have never had one ask.

No and I would be a bit concerned if my real doctor got that personal with my sex life. I am fine with the standard are you sexually active question but that’s the extent of it.

Only when I was younger at final school medical exam and he then checked foreskin to see if was tight and f course i got an erection

My sub's doctors have never asked, nor should they ask, that question. But I doubt he'd answer it truthfully anyway.

As I do not go to the doctor it has not come up for me. I too would probably not answer truthfully as it is none of their business.

Nope, I've never had a doctor ask me about masturbation. I've only ever had doctors ask me if I'm sexually active.

I have always wanted to ask the doctor if I could masturbate during an exam…but I would not put him or her on the spot like that. However, due to a contact dermatitis, my dermatologist has suggested that I cut down on the frequency of my masturbation for a while if I can, and to use a lubricant. This conversation took place while she was examining my genitals and I became totally erect. She is somewhat accustomed to my erections during skin checks and it is not an issue.

Ok, I never answered the question. When I was 14, I had some pain in my penis. My dad took me to our family doctor. I was alone in the exam room when the doc checked out my penis. He also had me pee in a cup. Then he asked me if I masturbated or I was having sex.

I wasn’t having sex but of course I lied about masturbating. My dad had told me to only touch my penis to pee. Any other touching was dirty.

The doc looked at the urine under a microscope and told my dad and I that he saw crystals in it. He told me to drink more water and back off on drinking milk.

That is the only time I was asked about masturbating. Since then I have been asked about having sex though.

Only once and that was a special case as said practitioner and I are former coworkers, so it's more than just a regular patient relationship. She asked if I was sexually active, and I said no. Somehow the conversation that followed gave her the idea that I wasn't because I found it unsatisfactory with current partner, she remarked “If it's not satisfactory with your partner, there are multiple ways to address it.” I said "I don't have a partner now”. I was deep in the throes of establishing myself professionally and settling into living out from under my parents roof, it was somewhere around the bottom of the list.

The only time a doctor asked me about masturbation was when I was in my 20s. I went in for a routine physical. The doctor asked me my sexual history (non-existent at the time). He then asked me if I masturbated. I said yes, and he asked no follow-up questions but just nodded.

That said, over the last five years, my wife and I have been going to a sex therapist. The discussions with the sex therapist are quite explicit and the subject of masturbation comes up in these sessions from time to time.

My Gyn will ask me every year

@Annie2 I'm curious what the gyn's purpose is in asking about masturbation? Any thoughts on that?

I was never asked that question, but my wife was asked how often we have sex, by a doctor….who prided himself on being a “christian.” In fact, he was nothing more than a judgemental, bible thumper. I think that his “inquiry” offended me, more than my wife. We changed doctors after that.

Never had it happen….

Never directly. Just indirectly about sexual activity and number of partners

My pediatrician used to ask every year, but my doctor now has only asked about sexual activity

Yes once when i was 21 as part of an examination for insurance, i would think it ought to be a normal question at an examination, but sadly we dont get routine examinations in GB

Once asked if it all worked during an exam by a female Doctor.

I've never been asked that by any doctor. Unless you are there for being sexually dysfunctional, I think it is inappropriate and unnecessary. I had a family doc for years and he would give me samples of stiffeners and the only thing he said was that I was getting into his private stash. He never asked if I was spanking it ever!

@Moppys_jalopy for men it is definitely a valid question. Research is showing a connection between masturbation/sex and prostate health. I had a urologist tell me this about 18 years ago. Back then he referred to it as ‘use it or lose it’.

If your doc is asking purely for social reasons then no, it’s none of his business.

The school doctor used to ask this during my teens and even the doctor during my physical exam for military service asked me whether I masturbated regularly. It was part of several questions about sexual my activity.

Yes he did frequently, because I was a late bloomer and had to get series of shots getting my puberty starting. I still remember well when he asked me again at age 16 near 17 and I truly had to answer no. He replied that he must continue giving me that burning shots in my bum until it works. So for several months I tried and tried reaching the happy end, and I was so proud when I finally made it…

Yes, at a strangely young age, but there were other things strange about that doctor… I actually hope I can run some of those things past someone at some point. Too nervous to discuss with friends.

In recent years, yes, but my therapist was asking. Mostly in the context of whether or not I am able to have an orgasm solo and with a partner.

Nope, I’ve never been asked in a real or play exam. I‘d hate to have to admit that 99% of the times I masturbate it’s while thinking of a medical exam.

@Rubnlickmi I am very willing to discuss these things with you. Message me and we can start a conversation.

Couple of years ago I sent a message to my PCP asking for a Cialis prescription. She filled it with no questions. They only give you a dozen pills at a time and I've had it renewed a few times. Last visit, as she reviewed my meds, she asked if I needed a refill for Cialis. I assume she knows I either masturbate or am having an affair (which I'm not), or that my wife and I a “reigniting” our sex life!!
