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

Yes, l would and do lie about those issues to my Dr. If l am at the Drs, then l am obviously having issues that do not pertain to any of those questions. And if she/he absolutely feel they have to know, the next question that will be asked is why do l feel l need to be changing Drs and where to send my files!!!

I was thinking that for my doctor to ask, it would be perhaps due to a concern of a change in testosterone levels, or curiosity as to why i take selenium supplements. So I would be honest about the frequency. Since it might help explain results from blood tests, dietary practices, etc.

Yes, sure. Almost makes me feel more human, actually "admitting" it. I'd be curious about why they asked, but I have no qualms about telling them about a normal very pleasant practice I've been doing for decades. What are you people worried about, "The Man" finding out you're normal?

Of course i would. I am not the slightest bit embarrassed that I masturbate or that people know I do.

Yes why not? if you say you don't then either you are very sexually active or a liar.

If it was essential to him/her for giving the right diagnosis then sure. Of course it would be awkward for me (even more with female doctor) but I could live with that.

As a lifelong fan and practitioner of masturbation in various forms, I'd be more concerned or at least fascinated by the doctor, male or female, being more embarrassed about discussing it than I am. Not a problem. Bring it on.

No worry at all telling my doc. If he asked me how many times a day I do it - I would lie and say 20 and then beat my chest!! 😄

Sometimes I wish we men had the gift of multiple orgasms like women do!

Had this experience (fessing up) at my Limitless Male appointment this week (I'm exploring testosterone replacement therapy.) The female NP asked if I masturbated and I said yes, though not as much as I used to, a totally truthful statement. By the way, TRT is recommended if you are 60-ish and having sexual difficulties, I have had a very good experience with it so far.

Of course. Everybody does it. On serious note: I'm sure my doc is asking for a legitimate reason.

Yes. No problem.

Yes, no sense in lying about it.

I answered this in 2015 and I would still answer the same, “Do you?”

I will now add that I would say no

Unless I was there for some type of sexual issue I feel its none of their business and inappropriate.

I have a female interinst about 30 years old who I later learned had been a cheerleader in her college days. Following the standard physical exam, yes !my man-parts were included, she pronounced me fit for my age. But of course "no guarantees", asked whether I had any questions or anything more. At that time I suggested I wanted to know what is needed for a prescription for one of those little blue pills and did they have any bad side effects. She said that there was no reason she could not authorize a prescription for me but better yet she would give me a doctor's sample to see if they were useful for me. But, why was I asking? I told her I was feeling my age and things were working a little more slowly than before. And that was the time she asked if I periodically masturbated and how often? I reminder her I was married and don't have a habit of self-indilgence. She smiled and repeated the old adage "use it or lose it!"n and suggested that a few times a week would help keep my system tune-up, any try these pills with your wife. I am one happy man!

That’s one great doc.

I’d give him/her a mix answer of „And how about yourself!.“ and roasting him/her

there is no reason to ask such a thing in a normal medical scene unless you have a problem down there

My shrink asked me to see if I'm manic. We don't talk about it in detail just something like I've been able to keep your hand off of it?

The doctor has never asked me, but I suppose it may be one of the questions he asks you if he is looking for some kind of sexual dysfunction.

If he asked me, I would answer him honestly, especially if we are looking for some kind of problem, if it were out of curiosity, I think I would ask him too, to see if we reached an agreement 😉

Yes, I would tell my doctor anything. If they're asking then it must be important!

Of course I'd tell her. In fact I'm thinking of asking her a question at our next meeting that will involve that.

My doctor has asked and I answered honestly. He was inspecting my penis when he asked that and I was hoping he was going to masturbate me, but that did not happen. 😞

That’s a long shot. Wishfull thinking. 😀

Once i went to the doctors because I had been experiencing testicular pain. After checking (all was fine) he did ask me if I masturbate as it could have been a case of blue balls! I've never had a doctor ask me that before, but he did. I said I have heard of it.

Absolutely, when my doctor has asked and my response is yes, Why lie. At time, he was holding and examining my penis. Actually, I’ve been asked maybe twice about masturbating, wet dreams and sexual active. Always with my underwear down and holding my penis.

Yes. Why lie?

My doctor didn't ask directly last year. She asked if I were still sexually active and I told her my wife was no longer capable of vaginal intercourse but that I regularly masturbated. She seemed satisfied I was still “in the game.” I have an appointment with her tomorrow and will ask how often I should masturbate to keep my prostate healthy. There has been only one retrospective study that suggests emptying the prostate may be associated with a healthier prostate - reduced prostatic cancer to be specific. More research needed, but I will take that as a starter. Better than no results!! So, I shall be wanking on!! In good health!!!

Back in the 1960’s we were told not to touch our penises except to go to the bathroom. So the correct answer in ALL cases was no.

Thank God no one told me that !

@agracier : I think I'd give him a good long disapproving look first and then ask him the medical relevance ... then again my family doctor is male and I'm not interested in sharing specifics of my intimate life with him ...

On the other hand, if my family doc were female (which it is not), I might perhaps be willing to discuss it tentatively. It wouldn't do to come over too strong, would it?

Great answer made way back in the second post here. I've never been asked by any of the many doctors and nurse practitioners I seen over the years.

Sure, why not. It's confidential
