I never get asked this, even when I was put on medication that can cause reproductive problems

or is it just that obvious for me they don't bother asking

I've been asked about it at every doctor visit I've had, probably since I was like 10

Not being able to afford to go to the doctor is actually the American thing.

I've never been asked. It's immediately obvious to anyone that interacts with me that I'm a permanent virgin.

If the symptoms to the issue are relevant they'll definitely ask.

Then they knew the answer was no

I figured that was a standard because there's so much stuff that not being sexually active just immediately disqualifies you from.

My doctor used to ask, but they haven't the last few years.

It used to be embarrassing to answer, because it made me feel like an outcast. But now, I guess they just assume I'm not, it also feels bad. lol

I let the observing interns get in on that action once.

If it's any consolation, she's probably seeing them all the time, in every shape, size, and pigmentation you can think of

All the time for my checkups. Sometimes my wife is in there with me and one of my specialists is a younger female around our age and we talk about optimal intimacy times depending on what I have going on.

It's all good, we're all adults here.

Yes, and frankly I think doctors should be asking. They'd always ask my mom to leave, which again, makes sense.

This was just regular check ups and physicals.

There's a couple areas where that is entirely reasonable.

Hell, assuming Accutane is still around, it was basically illegal to prescribe to anyone who could potentially be pregnant without doing a pregnancy test.

That shit was so bad for fetuses that pregnant women couldn't touch it with an ungloved hand.

This is true. I had a visit when I was 7. I had a visit in 2022 when I had my bells palsy. I've had another during the summer for my circulation issues. I need new meds and I dont want to go again. Getting healthier but the problem persists. Sucks going 43 years with nothing more than a cold then it all hits at my late 40's

Mine doesn't ask. I find they ask after the first visit and then stop. Like your primary care doctor.

ER and first doctor's visits sure. Or if you come in with symptoms and they need to rule things out.
