Does YOUR REAL doctor ever ask about masturbation?

I had an appointment about erectile dysfunction. The first part was with the assistent of the doctor (a women). I chose to describe exactly my situation. I said that I can obtain erections only when I’m alone. After this, she used once the term « masturbation » in the conversation.

I have never been asked about masturbation.

I was asked last month by my female doctor if I could masturbate ok, this was due to having a problem with penis and getting an erection. The examination went fine, some build up of scar tissue inside shaft. Got prescribed Viagra.

I've Ben asked once about masturbation

I've Ben asked once about masturbation

What were the circumstances?

As a teenage boy during my yearly phisical exam my doc asked me once, if and how many times I'd masturbate!

No, never been asked. And would you tell the truth ?

I have never been asked

No never

My pelvic floor therapist asks, often, about my ejaculations and if there is any difference in sexual intercourse or masturbation ejaculations.

What is s pelvic floor therapist and why do you need one as a man? Or is this a play situation ?

Of course I would tell the truth. Lying to a doctor about any medical problems only hurts YOU the patient in the end.

Men could also need pelvic floor therapists.

Depends on what basis the appointment was made for in the first instance & if the said question (if it arose) was appropriate...meaning it would have to have a direct correlation to ones physical /sexual status from a medical standpoint & what they are trying to determine by that line of questioning...my own physician has never asked & if she were to I'd wish to know the reason BEFORE answering.

I used pelvic floor therapy delivered by licensed physical therapist until I ran out of Medicare approved sessions. Through a combination of modalities delivered both externally and internally, we were seeking to address nerve issues secondary to lower back problems exacerbated by diabetic neuropathy.

I have never been asked about masturbation during an exam.

It's an awkward question but like most guys I lie and say "no".

It's my personal business.

I've never been asked about petting the puss puss by a doctor LOL

I have never been asked. As a physician I have never asked anyone but it would be appropriate in evaluation of erectile dysfunction or sexual dysfunction of any variety.

I've never been asked.

If it was relevant for some reason and I was asked I would have no problem answering. I think it's a pretty normal human thing to do, really.

My real doctor never ASKED, he INSTRUCTED! 😁 No joke, during my last annual physical, he mentioned that prostate cancer research has revealed that regular masturbation (or sex, for that matter) is listed as a very significant risk mitigation practice. "Keepin' the ol' gun barrel oiled", I heard someone say.

He did not ask how often I do it, but said that if I could aim for at least 3 ejaculations a week, it would have a significant impact on keeping my prostate healthy, well into old age. I don't believe you could wank yourself out of an existing cancer condition, but this is not such a bad preventive measure, don't you think?

I was very surprised to see the notion that regular ejaculation could ward off prostate ca. I researched it and studies have shown that it may. Learn something every day.

Pelvic floor therapist.

I was seen by urologist for pelvic pain that hours from my tail bone to tip of penis. He and his PA tried several med, with no positive results. Last resort was three secret weapon, pelvic floor therapy.

She asked many questions and examined my thighs, hips, lower back and internal muscles (via digital rectal exam) she found many tight muscle groups which she applied trigger point massage, both external and internal.

I now have my care in my own hands with a special wand designed to treat such ailments. I see her for check ups about every three to four months.

Some pain still lingers, but with my care in my hands, I am able to try different things to see if I can get the tight pelvic floor muscles to relax and act normal.

Sorry for taking so long to answer back.

No, no doctor has ever asked whether I masturbated or not. I would probably be slightly embarrassed as I'm very shy and would question the relevance but I don't think there's a point in denying it, everybody does it.

Actually it is not a new discovery. It was at least a dozen years ago IIRC that I first saw a paper published on the subject. The theory being that regular ejaculation prevented the build up of carcinogens that would accumulate in the prostate due to lack of ejaculation. By flushing the prostate semi-regularly it prevents these toxins from having a chance to do their work. A similar concept applies to frequent urination to prevent bladder cancer. Drink sufficient water and urinate frequently.

How about 40 years ago they knew that regular ejaculations were good for the prostate and warded off problems.

I have had Urologists discuss it with me in detail twice.

Since my last post in this topic I've had various assessments for gender dysphoria with both psychologists an specialist doctors. Each of them asked me detailed questions about the techniques I use to masturbate and how they make me feel. This was done as part of taking an extremely in depth sexual history. It didn't seem out of place, but did feel a bit strange the first time.
