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

For sure Doctors masturbate to certain individuals they have see for routine physical examination. The Doctor is human too. That nice career girl having her first pelvic exam including pap smear and rectal exam with breast exam included in the appointment. The nice looking early 20s young man getting his new hire physical examination from the doctor who is a closeted married homosexual . Why wouldn't the Doctor masturbate to these situations.

I read an article where 95% admitted to masturbation and the doctor conclude that the other 5% were lying.

That's for men. For women it's 85%\15%

Having been in medicine for many years, and having been masturbating to fantasy even longer than that, I'll tell you that your fantasy is generally not accurate. For the most part, the doctor's or other health care worker's head space when working is asexual.

My sexual fantasies may have involved work situations, but rarely real people from my medical life. On the rare occasions where a real person showed up in my fantasy, it was almost always a friend, lover or coworker, not a patient.

The old Professional Pedestal thing keeps cropping up doesn't it. Let me say that I know folks in the medical field that do masturbate and do get aroused seeing certain individuals for routine physical examinations. Thanks for your comments, yes it is a big world out there.

Physical, yes, I agree with you, ONCE in while there are medical professionals out there who do masturbate thinking about real patients, but they are very few and far between. In all professions you have exceptions to every rule, we are human after all,

Jds4med is exactly correct on this matter. If I had to guess I would say that 99 percent of all medical professionals do not masturbate or think of our patients in a sexual way. Do mechanics masturbate to a V8 engine? Most do not, but I am sure there are the 1 percent out there that do. You know it's the human factor and there are some in every crowd, lol. But as a general rule patients to us are no different than an engine is to a mechanic.

This is a concept that seems very hard for kinky medical laypeople to understand, and as a kinky medical professional I still don't understand this. This issue has been hashed to death on this board and we real medical professionals can't seem to get this concept across.

I am the kinkiest nurse just about on this planet, I know of few others with more of a medical kink than myself, especially true medical professionals, and I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that I have never looked at a patient in anything other than a professional way, nor have I drempt of them, or thought of them in a sexual way. Real, true, and professional medical folks just don't think this way, and honestly, when we are together and one of us makes an unprofessional comment, especially sexually unprofessional, everything stops. The looks that we usually give that medical staff member who was unprofessional is enough to freeze out a polar bear. They instantly understand that what they said was not cool and will not be tolerated. Again, I have only been a medical professional for 20 or so years, maybe I'm in the minority here? Just sayin.

Mashie

I think that we, as kinky patients, would like to think that the doctors and nurses that we see get as aroused with our physical exams as we do. But as the medical professionals on this forum have already indicated, I think that's just wishful thinking on our part. But if it brings us greater enjoyment to think that, well, that's OK too.

Why would u lie or hide that fact u did lol

Depends on why they asked? I'm not sure I agree with Mashie. I can tell you that there were a lot of males in med school who loved to share stories of the physically attractive patient they saw. If they would openly objectify these women, why should I think that they wouldn't masturbate to thoughts of them. More over, I think the "professional" mask is just that- a mask. It merely hides the true feelings, it doesn't eliminate them. That being said, I think most professionals would be mortified to find themselves sexually aroused with a patient for a thousand different reasons. But what do they think about these patients in the privacy of their own homes. Perhaps a recent survey of British GPs can shed some light on the topic. In a poll 282 doctors by the weekly GP magazine Pulse, 1 in 6 doctors said they thought it would be ok to have sex with one of their patients. 48% of them said it would be ok if the patient changed doctors. 16% said it was ok to have sex with a patient, while 2% admitted to having sex with a patient. And if this many doctors think its ok to have sex with a patient, they probably aren't going to consider masturbating about one of them a taboo.

I was dealing with some prostate issues not too long ago. During the workup, the doctor asked about ejaculation and frequency. He did not specify masturbation or other sexual activity. I had been working offshore and told him that it had been awhile. He said that if necessary, he would write me a prescription to masturbate more frequently.

My answer to a question like that would probably be something to the effect of, "I'll forgive you for asking that question if you forgive me for not answering it."

Or else I would probably ask the obvious, "Why would you want to know that?"

I could not see the situation where the question came up, but yes, after all it is a perfectly natural thing.

I have the distinction of knowing the only person in the world who genuinely does not masturbate. When I asked her if she did, she said "the only time my fingers go up there! is to change my tampon". And the sad thing is, is that I believe her.

Yes I have volenteered that info before to a doctor because I was having male problems. If she was a female doctor that asked me my heart would start to race and I might blush but I would confess to her.

Or else I would probably ask the obvious, "Why would you want to know that?"

Indeed. I'd expect an explanation from the doctor, asking in what way it is relevant to any medical issues I might be having. If the doc couldn't give a reasonable and understandable explanation for the question, I'd question his motives or perhaps even worse, really start to worry about what might be wrong. After all, even though a perfectly natural thing to do, it is not something routinely brought up during a medical exam unless expressly at the behest of the patient ...

agracier -- As so often you put this in context perfectly.... My own personal Physician (Female & OB /GYN ) I would think ,in fact i know,that she would never consider asking such a question... Professional /Ethical Standards aside,attention to ones health is her highest priorty at all times.. However if that situation were to transpire, rest assured there would be very very good reason to ask, which would suggest that there was an underlying problem to address...... If so asked in an offhand flippant manner then naturally one would consider same as being somewhat impertinent & yes motives queried......Ostensibly her judgement I trust implicitly such is the relationship of patient / doctor... I personally consider her attitude & attention to medical detail imperative to good healthcare outcomes.....

Virtually everyone masturbates. Some of us do it a lot. Some do it less often. All of us do it, with the tiniest number of exceptions, and for those few, I feel sorry. Look at the joy they are missing.

Hugs,

I would give an honest answer with the doctor I have now, since he is good at taking care of me.

My Cardiologist wrote a prescription for Cialis for me because one of my meds causes erection problems. I told him that my sex life would be even better if I wasn't alone. 😢

Assuming that the doctor asks the question in the right context and that the situation doesn't feel really inappropriate, I would. I'd tell her 'No, not periodically... every chance I get!'

A doctor asked me if I had a partner. Answering no means implicitly that I could masturbate.

Well, even if you had a partner, it doesn't preclude anyone from masturbating anyway ... just ask around - on the Forum ... ha ha ...

It was not the only intimate question. In the medical report I can read that I have "no problem with my libido, orgasms and ejaculations", but I admit it, no indication if I use masturbation or not to produce these events.

Thinking about the partner/not masturbating preclusion - the assumption that you're not 'supposed' to masturbate when living together was one of the things that I found very annoying when my gf/wife moved in with me. I was naive and young and not that experienced and really thought living under one roof was supposed to rule out many activities ... such as masturbation, to orgasm or not. ... ha ha.

Luckily some form of realization kicked in and I got over the issue. Maybe this is one of those things that should be addressed in Sex Ed. I'm pretty sure everyone knows where to put what where, but this might be something quite helpful as well for new couples.

Sure, Why not. Everybody does it so why ask!

Sure, what is the big deal. It is only natural. We've all done it and hope to continue doing so.

I don't know. But it would be so out of the regular questionnaire that I'd probably confess stuttering and blushing.

I would ask if he does!

Sure, i would assume they would have a medical explanation for asking. but i really wouldn't care.

Of course, why not??

Yes of course, it is a normal part of life

Would if there was a medical reason. Was asked by a school nurse in my teens and didn't deny it. Felt like a badge of honor - sure I beat it off, who doesn't. I am not sure why she asked only told me to be careful and not hurt myself. Not sure how one could do that unless it was habitual, six or seven times a day. Everybody does it and everybody knows that everybody does it so why deny it.
