If your doctor asked if you perodically masturbated, would you fess up?

I would tell him no

its more like all the time

My doc she knows.

IF i were to be asked that, right away i would make the association with blood pressure, heart attack potential, etc. I would have to believe that that would be the direction the conversation was headed.

Years ago I had aching testicles - it turned out that I just had what people commonly phrase "blue balls"! Anyway, add the exam and just before I left the doc asked me if I masturbated

I don´t think I would tell my doctor the truth if he asked me about it. But I would probably hesitate to answer his question, so he would realize soon that I am not telling the truth.

A lovely female doctor in her early 60's once asked me that. She had determined that I had an inflamed prostate, and recommended that, in addition to meds, I climax more frequently.

She asked me how frequently I was ejaculating, and also asked me, "Do you have a partner?" (I did.) The doctor calmly (but with a slight smile) explained that if I was masturbating about as frequently as I wanted or felt that I needed, and if my girlfriend and I had settled on a frequency of intercourse that worked for both of us, she (my girlfriend, not the doctor) might be willing also to masturbate me once a day or more, and that many men found that approach effective in increasing the frequency of their ejaculations.

My girlfriend and I both thought that was the most interesting prescription we'd ever heard of. ?

Absolutely. I would love to get into a long detailed totally open and frank discussion with a doctor regarding my masturbation habits. My ultimate wish would be to have him recommend me as a subject for a research study on male masturbation where I'd be required to masturbate in front of researchers while totally nude for long intense sessions.

That's called a gay porn film rufbeef. 😃

Yes, I would,...who doesn't masturbate? why lie to your doctor?

I could not imagine a situation where i would be asked, however it medically nessessary i would be forthright and share.

How about if you had an irritation of your vulva?

Did you change laundry products? No.

Any new personal hygiene products? No.

How often do you masturbate......?

Great point JDS...never tought of that, as I have never experianced any such irritation.

I have never been asked about masturbation by a "real" doctor but certainly have been required to divulge the frequency to a play doctor.

I've never been directly asked about masturbation by a real Doctor. However, at my annual Diabetes review this week, after checking the pulses and sensations in my legs and feet; while checking my femoral pulses, the Nurse Practitioner (who does the checkup) did ask me if I have any "issues or difficulties with Sexual Function; erection or ejaculation".

I honestly replied that I don't generally; but occasionally get intense pins and needles after cycling. She suggested this is probably due to pressure on the nerve & shouldn't cause problems; but to let them know if it happens more often; takes longer for normal feeling to return; or I start having erectile issues.

So would I, but I suspect neither of us has that much time to spare.

Sure! My female doctor once told me that to keep my prostate healthy I should experience at least three ejaculations per week. I asked her to please write that down on a prescription pad to my wife. She laughed but unfortunately didn't comply with my request!

I can believe that. I have also been advised by more than one urologist to "use it or lose it", referring to erectile function.

No, my doctor has never asked me about this.

To answer the original query, I'd be perfectly happy to tell my doctor that I masturbate and how much, but I've never been asked, even by a urologist. The closest I ever came was a urologist back in my early twenties who asked if I'd ever had intercourse yet.

MCurious, I used to get not only pins and needles but outright numbness of my entire penis during long bicycle rides back in my twenties when I was otherwise totally healthy. Stopping and getting off the bike for a few minutes caused return of normal sensation, thank heaven. It was strictly due to prolonged compression of the sensory nerves to the penis coursing through the perineum.

I never found out if this compression, if not relieved, would lead to permanent damage or not. I and many others solved this with a new bicycle seat designed to take pressure off the perineum. On the new seat, I never had it again. You'd have to do some research and then actual tryouts of seats, but I'm sure you could find one to ameliorate your penile bike problem. Good luck.

To answer the question. Definitely very much so. I think I would say word for word "Don't you?" LOL! Then I'd probably precede to tell about how often. Hay it's my doc. There so-posed to find out about your physical health.

Most of my yearly physicals I get asked "Are you sexually active?" Which confused me the first time I was asked, it just means is there another person I am having sex with. I always answer honestly, and it doesn't embarrass me.

Talked with my doctor today about this, due to anxiety medication causing issues with having or sustaining an erection and delayed ejaculation. I told him I'm normally a two times a day guy and now was becoming a lot longer stretch. Unfortunately is a trade-off with the medication that works, so he said if I wanted Viagra, he would prescribe it. I told him we'll wait an see. Definitely blush worthy but as others have said,no use hiding the truth.

Yes. The question is usually asked on the check list. When I had a male doctor, he always asked himself.

While most everyone does at some point. Some more than others. Why not be truthful about it

Never seen that on a checklist before. Would be interesting to see on a checklist, I'll say that.

I have been asked and I told her. It was a neurologist that I was seeing about migraines. A medicine she prescribed had the side effect of not allowing me to ejaculate. She changed my medicine but this one allowed me to have an orgasm but not to ejaculate. In each instance se told me to masturbate to determine my results. It was interesting to discuss this with my female doctor. It made the act fairly clinical.

The American way - here's some medicine. Side effects? Here's more medicine.

My PCP doc is a good looking gay female in her 40s or early 50s who's had me undress for her for numerous annual physicals over the last 15 years. I can't imagine why she would ask, but if she did, I probably smile, blush, and make some kind of joke about it, like "I was wanting to ask you about that. I've been slowing down from about 50 times a week to just twice a day lately. Should I be concerned?"

Yes, no reason to hide it.

I recently had an upper respiratory thing going on, but at the same time my testicles swelled and were rather painful. My GP did an thorough exam of my scrotum, which involved me lifting my penis to show him my balls and to use my hand to show what "normal" size should be. He felt around for any issues and I told him whenever he hit a tinder spot (my boys were hurting).

My doctor ask if I had been fortunate enough to have had sexual relations with my wife recently, to which I replied "of course!" I think he asked it this way to avoid the masturbation question. His follow up was to ask if I noticed any blood in my semen. I replied that I didn't notice, but I wasn't particularly looking either. (I'm not sure why he would expect me to see anything if I was having intercourse.)

He prescribed an antibiotic and told me to bring my scrotum back in about 1 1/2 weeks.

About half way through that time, the swelling did go down enough to masturbate. Sure enough, a little blood was present at that time. A few more days and all seems nearly normal (just a little swelling remained).

On my revisit, the doctor repeated my scrotum exam. More discussion about what is normal size for me, etc.I told the doctor in response to his previous question I had checked my semen after swelling decreased and noted the blood. I told him shortly before my appointment, it seemed to have cleared up.

While the word masturbation wasn't used, obviously I was doing what was necessary to check my ejaculation.

The doctor said I should be cleared to return to normal activities. He said to tell my wife that he prescribed intercourse two times per week to help my recovery. LOL! He is a great doctor.

Welcome to Zity, Ovation !

(I'm not sure why he would expect me to see anything if I was having intercourse.).

He might think you use the withdrawal method of contraception, with the money shot occurring externally.

He... told me to bring my scrotum back in about 1 1/2 weeks.

Yeah, definitely don't leave home without it !
