(NSFW) Has a doctor ever asked you about your satisfaction level with your sex life?
I was idly watching a thread unfold on FB. It was a conversation among women expressing their frustrations with their sex lives. Parts of it were freaking hilarious, Like the one gal who said, “I I have to explain to my hubby that, “wanna pork?” or announcing that he has a HO do not qualify as foreplay..” some of it expressed a great deal of frustration.
One gal said she asked her doctor why she wasn’t able to enjoy sex. The doctor told her she just needed to relax. “If I had been a man I would have come out of there with a whole sack full of pills!” she said.
Further on down someone said that no doctor has ever asked them about the quality of their sex life. I got the impression that she thought that if she was a male, that might be a pretty standard question. That is what prompted this question.
Would it be? I’ve never been asked about that by a doctor, have you?

After prostate surgery that is one of the main sections on the followup questionnaire.
The areas include: desire, ability, frequency, satisfaction, etc., All asked in excruciating and embarrassing detail.
Guys leaving the office are usually stocked with a boatload of interesting pill samples, in case you ever need any.
No. At most, a check box for “are you sexually active?”
No, but I would wonder ‘why” he asked, does HE want to improve MY sex life???? LOL
I would find it suspicious too.
I think the premise of her question was that there is much more emphasis placed on men’s sexual gratification than on women’s. Don’t know if that’s true or not, though.
No. I may have checked an “are you sexually active” box at some point.

Oh that makes sense as a large percentage of men like to exaggerate their sexual prowess.
Possibly in competition with other men and that includes Male Doctors?
I would had asked outright how it is relevant to my exam?
Could be the doctor is deciphering data to rule out diseases, then fair enough, but he should explain that.
I’ve never heard of any doctor asking that. It’s one thing to ask your doctor about sex, but not for the doctor to ask anything other than if you’re sexually active. I never had a problem answering that question. I felt more awkward when he asked “any diarrhea or constipation?” :P
@Demosthenes There are useful medical reasons for a provider to ask about sex. For example impotence can be an indicator for heart disease.
As far as I recall, never.
But this question reminds me of this scene from Annie Hall
