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

I would definitely answer him but I don't masturbate. I have a beautiful wife and so why would I?

Never been asked.

I dont think I would lie, he already knows that most people do

I woukd fess up. Hard to deny masturbation at a young age.

Never asked by a doctor as an adult but rather frequently as a teenager at mandatory annual school examinations last years of middle school and high school and university and at each military examination either as a draftee in a pre-induction center or as an inductee after induction or at any examination during military service.

There was always the same questions : " Do you are still virgin or are you sexually active? "

and "How much time by day or week are you practicing masturbation"

"what is the result"? and so on

When I went in for the interview with the head nurse before starting cardiac rehab the first question she asked me was "How's your sex life?"

Yes, but even tougher and more exciting would be if he, or she, said it's important to see how you masturbate to make sure you're not harming yourself in any way... so go ahead please as he sits on his exam stool and i'm sitting on the exam table with my gown open already, fully exposing my now aroused genitals!

When I went in for the interview with the head nurse before starting cardiac rehab the first question she asked me was "How's your sex life?"

Three cheers for that cardiac rehab nurse! Great (and important) question. Except for one urologist in my 20's, who asked if I'd had PIV yet, no one's ever asked about masturbation, but I'd be happy to say yes and explain it in any amount of detail they needed. As with most things sexual, I think the doc or questioner might be more embarrassed about it than I would!

Three cheers for that cardiac rehab nurse! Great (and important) question.

Yes the answer told her a lot that she needed to know about my condition.

The answer is yes. I am not at all ashamed that I have a healthy and active sexual imagination. I would much rather be around people who are comfortable with their sexual desires and pleasures than be around people who are uptight and unable to understand the valuable roll of sexual desire and satisfaction in their lives.

To me, it is ok for a Dr. to inquire because he is evaluating my mental and physical health. Sexual conduct is a part of evaluating both.

For a play exam I think it’s an important part of the history and can be asked in such a way that there is potential for it to be intrusive with additional questions such as have you ever masturbated in the presence of anyone else, or what position were you in when you ejaculated etc.

Well in a play situation I have been asked by my male examiner and I was honest and 'fessed up', a slight embarrassment but soon forgotten when it comes to the physical examination.

I've never been asked but if I was, I'd be honest. There's nothing wrong with masturbation so why lie about it?

I did have an exchange with my dr. a number of years ago. I forget what I was complaining of, but she asked if there was a chance I could be pregnant. I replied with "I wish!" She asked why, did I want a baby and I said "No, I just wish I'd been doing something to get pregnant" She then told me there are "mechanical means" and I said "Oh, I use them, believe me!" We both laughed and she then said that was good, that it's healthy.

I had a free screening exam offered by insurance. NP giving exam was lecturing me on preventive/staying healthy behaviors. Looking in mouth she'd tell me to floss & get teeth cleaned. Looking at face she said,'Use sunscreen to avoid skin cancer.' Down to the testes she demonstrated how to check for lumps--Lance Armstrong, she said.

With a finger in the butt feeling around she said it was recommended to avoid prostate congestion and prostatitis I should "empty the prostate" twice a week, at least. 'Are you sexually active?'

"Not often enough". I relied,

'Do you masturbate?'

"Um...yes". I admitted

'Do it at least twice a week.' she recommended.

"ok".

@bratwurst

Your lucky to have a great doctor like that. Thorough and gives good advice.

I would say that “periodically” does not accurately describe my enthusiasm for masturbation.

There have been a lot of responses this question. My Dr is the only person I would answer this question honestly. When it comes down to it masturbation is a part of the human condition. Yes, there are some people who would lie but what's the point your physician is the person who's there to keep you healthy and keep you alive. It's something you shouldn't be ashamed of so you should answer it honestly and I would.

Yes ... I would fess up and most likely add "four to five times a week!" 😉

Of course i would,and then say how bout you

No reason not to be completely honest, it’s a healthy part of human sexuality

I would probably give the honest answer of, "I'm an old, married man... of course I masturbate!"

I went to my urologist with pain when urinating and when he found my prostate to be swollen, he asked if I could manage ejaculation at least once a day. I told him I could manage more if needed. He smiled and said the more I could ejaculate the sooner the swelling would go down. He then told me to step into the restroom and ejaculate into a specimen jar. That, of course, would obviously be masturbation. I must have been somewhat turned on by the conversation because I quickly ejaculated. When I went back in the examination room, he said he wished he could still be so quick. I was in my thirties and a regular jacker and having sexual intercourse with my wife and he was in his sixties or so. I felt relieved since he had admitted that he still masturbated. At the next follow-up exam, he asked how many time I masturbated since the last visit. No embarrassment as I answered that I had ejaculated twice a day most every day. Some with intercourse and some by myself. He said to keep it up for another week at least and then I could slow down, [here he smiled and raised one eyebrow] if I wanted to. We both laughed and he exam was over.

I have some experience with equipment inspections. The hierarchy is: initial, frequent and periodic. Using a safety strap as an example: initial is when you receive the item. You open the box, make sure it’s what you ordered and that it is in serviceable condition. Frequent is prior to every single use. Periodic is a pre-set interval for a formal inspection and written record. So, applying that knowledge to this question, means that in my youth (up to about 55) “frequently” would have been the only honest answer. By definition, “frequently” would have meant at least daily. As a teenage horndog, more often than once daily was frequently the case. These days, periodic is probably more accurate, but at least it is still more “frequent” than my periodic visits to the dentist or doctor. Nozzle Tov!

@2BagsFull Were/Are you in Quality control??

I would be honest And say everyday if i dont have sex.

Absolutely. I don’t see why I wouldn’t. Especially since she is aware that my wife and I don’t have sex and knows I have a strong sex drive.

My eyes will Say yes and my mouth will Say no

Yes and in fact she did ask and I replied that I do at least once a day.

If asked, I would certainly reply and would so honestly. In general, I masturbate at least once per day and not ashamed of it. Although it is somewhat of an awkward question, I would answer my doc and not think twice about it. And once I got home after the exam, I would immediately jack-off.

I am not sure what I would say. My wife and I do orgasm control (my fetish). I don't masturbate and have mostly ruined orgasms an average of every 2 weeks. Not sure I would want to have that conversation with her (nurse practitioner). Would probably just tell her it's every 2 weeks and not give any more details
