Question to guys

I have never been asked about masturbating by a doctor. As for safe sex, they are talking about exposure to contagious diseases. In that respect, masturbation is safer than actual sex. There is no reason to mention it.

 

As a nurse I can think of no medical reason a doctor would need to know about your masterbation history in terms of a general physical exam.

It will likely be your vitals (blood pressure, and heart rate), weight, drink/drugs/smoking history, and maybe some general blood tests for cholesterol, full blood count and electrolytes. They may ask about sexual contact to rule out STIs. Nothing to worry about, but it's important to be honest.

 

They will probably do a DRE to check your prostate for enlargement and lumps. They will also likely examine your equipment and check you for inguinal hernia. (Turn your head and cough.)
