Sexuality Disclosure

[zgay73]

Healthcare professionals need all the information they can get to make a correct diagnosis, have you told yours?

[jamier58]

I think my doctor might know, she hasseen me in my sexy panties a lot, but never said anything, did have one doctor ask me were I bought the panties I was wearing.

[Long Duck Dong]

No but it actually has more to do with the fact I do not care about my health and wellbeing.... and years of dealing with mental health professionals that really had no idea what they were doing cos it took 37 years to be diagnosed with a disorder I was born with......

To me, its personal choice if people come out to the doctor or not....I have seen arguments for and against it..... but to me its each to their own....

[querty]

My Doctor knows everything, and his PA knows most of it. Given the additional heath risks of on going multiple sexual partners, being Bi (MM sex has it own risks), I believe it to be every bit as important for him to know and consider as anything elseit comes to my health care. We discuss it most every time I see him.

[Grant_Norman]

I have never discussed with any doctors and never will....however twice over last couple years I've had full battery of tests at our local health department (free)_ and have told the nurse I am bisexual and very active. It was nice telling a straight non-judgmental person...two different nurses..both were very pleasant...both gave me a bag of condoms, which I threw away (wouldn't want wife to find them)...not that I wouldn't maybe use them (blew one guy with a condom on once, wasn't really very terrible, but I much prefer naked cock)and REALLY prefer feeling cum in my mouth to swallow.

[Neonaught]

I have never felt the need to.

[Basin_Bouy]

YE, it is the right thing to do

[cbb83]

Yep. Surprisingly difficult thing to do. I suggest you have a frank discussion with your doctor regarding how they'd feel about having a bi/gay patient and let them know that if they are not comfortable with it that you'd be willing to find a different doctor without making a fuss, and ask if they know any candidates who aren't bothered by it. Last thing you want to do is have a doctor that isn't comfortable with their patient - and making a stink about it if they aren't just makes you a giant asshole. You can't expect everyone to be ok with it, but when you approach the matter courteously most professionals will help you find a better match to your needs. And if you do make a stink about it... remember what role these people serve. Do you really want them to dislike you? Think of it like not insulting the staff at a restaurant lol.

[csreef]

I have never told my doctor about my sexual orientation.

[NerdyBiGuy]

I have never to,d anyone outside of the internet that I am bi. Heck I think most people assume I am asexual.

[playful808]

Yes, my wife and I have the same doctor, who knows that I am bi and that we are non monogamous. They have seen it all. Kaiser.

[Christopher South]

I told my doctor. I was getting my annual physical and told her I should get tested because I was having risky sex. She said something like "OK, but you should always be using condoms when having sex with prostitutes" and I explained to her that I was having sex with guys. She didn't bat an eye. I've had plenty of follow-ups with her and she's asked my if I'm being safe and whether or not I'd like to get tested. She has never been judgemental.

I think it's important to share this info with your doctor, if you feel they would not be judgemental.

[jem_is_bi]

I have not discussed my sexuality with my doctor.
However, I am 72, never married and request testing for AIDS when I have a check up.
So,it is likely my doctor knows I am not heterosexual.

[NjbiGuy01]

I've been sexually active since i was 15 and not a big condom user. When getting fucked I demand it. Once or twice with a longterm M/F couple I had a relationship with I allowed bareback anal, but MM sex, no. I recently went to my urologist who told me he was retiring. I felt like wtf, lets just do it. I asked him for a full blood panel. He was totally cool about it. He had an awesome bedside manner for years as we went through kidney stones and a vasectomy and Peyronies disease, and he didn't even blink. I thought in my mind "I'll never see him again anyway"...of-course I ran into him at a hospital when we were both visiting friends, but it wasn't at-all awkward. My entire family shares the same Doctor, so it could be weird for sure to come out to him or suggest that... but thankfully, 100 percent clean...thank God.

I really have not discussed my own sexuality with my VA doctor. However, I am now widowed and I try to have the AIDS test at once a year. Since he knows that I am widowed and still sexuality active he may are ready know since he has seen me in my feminine panties, so, it is likely my doctor knows, that, I am not heterosexual. If he would flat out asks, I would probably question why he wants to know before I respond since he is a US Government, VA Doctor!

You don't need a Dr visit to test for HIV. We use home test kits from the pharmacy that cost $40 and are easy and quick. Google Oraquick

[friesbaconnekkid]

I will point out that openly talking to your doctor about sucking cock and being fucked is an erotic experience in itself.

[jjourneyman]

Why would I tell my doctor? He's not blowing me, nor am I him.

Hell, I haven't even told my priest.

[KDaddy23]

I disclosed this to my doctor the second time I saw him. HIV was killing people right and left (at the time) and even though it was... embarrassing to tell him that I'd been having sex with men, I also knew it was important to my health - and the health of anyone I had sex with - to let him know so if he saw something, we could deal with it. I was sure that if I hadn't told him, he would have asked me about my sexual history and lying to him about it could literally be hazardous to my health and I wasn't about to fuck around like that with my health or my life.

So... he knows. He doesn't even tell me about "a little pressure" when he gives me my yearly DRE because he knows I'm used to having something in my ass other than a finger and, well, he does what I'm expecting him to do: Keep me healthy and if there's something wrong, let's get it fixed. I trust him and, no, not even concerned about him "running his mouth" about my sexuality and even if he did, it doesn't matter to me one bit because if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it and no matter what anyone else has to say about it but if he says, "You need to stop having sex like this..." I am going to listen to him because it would be obvious there's a good reason for him to say such a thing.

[Kyguy2022]

I've told my therapist about my curiosities and she's been encouraging to my wanting to meet new people. It actually started as my confessing that I would like to meet new people that I don't normally get to be around as I'm from a small town, and that felt good.

[jem_is_bi]

Yes. I added my sexuality to my medical record.

[missn3njerry]

I am a RN, and have known my primary care doc since he was a resident. I told him. No big deal. It's pretty hard to shock anyone who's worked in healthcare more than a day or two.

[atxbi]

I go to a clinic not far from home that has a pretty hot latina nursing assistant. She was asking a bunch of routine questions filling out forms, when she asked about my sexuality and I looked her in the eye and said bisexual. She smiles a little and that felt so good, it was the first time I ever came out to anyone other than my wife. It felt really good.

[needalittle05]

Havent disclosed anything, but if he asks dont have a problem being honest with him

[Jozyxt]

I will point out that openly talking to your doctor about sucking cock and being fucked is an erotic experience in itself.

I told my female primary physician. Calmly and dispasionly discussing sex in front of a woman is erotic. She retired and my new doc is a very attractive young Chinese woman. I haven't brought it up yet, but I plan on doing that at my next physical.

[SilkyHoseLover]

My former primary care doctor was a female who occasionally worked with my wife, a registered nurse. She was the PCP for both my wife and myself, and also delivered our granddaughter. Neither my wife nor I ever intimated our sexual proclivities to this doctor. She retired at the end of 2020, forcing me to find a new PCP -- my wife had already changed docs a year or so before that.

The doctor I chose as a replacement, I'd met about 10 years ago when my uncle fell ill and eventually had an unfortunate ending. He seemed to be a pretty competent guy and gave good care to my uncle. He even wrote a letter of reference for me when I needed to become uncle's Power of Attorney. That stated, I seriously doubt that he remembered me on our first visit with his being my PCP, but I certainly remembered him!

With so many electronic records being used these days, I filled out extensive health questionnaires prior to my first appt. I was honest and candid about my sexuality, selecting bisexual and including the fact that I had sex with males.

He didn't mention anything about my sexuality at our first visit. On a subsequent visit, he ordered lab tests, and I suggested SDI testing. I reminded him that I was bi, and he added that to the lab draw without saying a word.

One other thing: I felt comfortable selecting him because my uncle was gay. I don't know how much they discussed about his sexuality, but the doc prescribed Viagra for him, meaning he knew that my uncle was sexually active.

[KDaddy23]

An aside to my earlier comment. I remember the first time I had to see the female doctor in my doctor's practice and it got... weird for a moment when she was reading my chart and asked, "So you're really bisexual?" and I said that I really was and it wouldn't be in my chart if I wasn't. She just "hmmed" to herself and got to doing my examination which included her putting on the glove, cupping the boys, and telling me to cough. After that she said, "You took that well!" and I asked why I wouldn't and she said that I probably wouldn't be surprised at how many guys don't take having a female doctor examining them like this... and I just shrugged; my sexuality wasn't a secret to my doctor(s) so there was no reason for me to be losing my shit over a female doctor knowing that I wasn't straight but not gay. She did say that I did the right thing in letting my sexuality be known because, again, HIV was running rampant and killing people and hiding it from your doctor was... a stupid thing to do.

Years later, that same female doctor would perform my yearly DRE exam and I had to laugh when she said, "I know you're used to this..." and just gave me the finger and, I thought, quite nicely at that.

[Jozyxt]

Afemale doctor would perform my yearly DRE exam

The first DRE I had was from a petite female doc with small hands. She had to work a bit to get the reach to get it done. It was a mix of discomfort and stimulation. My wife commented later that she was sure I enjoyed it. Since then I have learned to relax and enjoy it whether from a man or a woman.

UPDATE: Since coming out in January, I
ve updated mmy PCP, orthopedist, and endocrinologist that I am bisexual. Since I got some infection on my foot the day after swallowing my buddies cum who just had a stroke and was on ma lot of blood thinners and stuff, I wanted them to know that I do swallow a lot of cum when I can and some of their meds are getting into my system/ Also had STD check at health department las week. Have told several nurses also.

Grant docs all great about it. Hot young endo doctor advised me to not have anal a least about a week nbefore my PSA test../.she said it can through off results a bit from rubbing prostate. I told her I liked sucking and swallowing most, and only occasionally did anal.
