[QUOTE]Originally posted by logic_grrl: [QB] From a doctor's perspective, what they need to know is whether you're engaging in any activities that might give you a risk of pregnancy or STIs (so they can assess whether you might need contraception, a Pap smear, or STI screening, etc.) It may feel embarrassing, but your best option is to say something like: "I haven't had intercourse, but I've engaged in some other sexual activities." They may ask which activities, but they're not going to ask you for graphic details - they just need to know what (if any) risks you've had. {Mindmeld!} [/QB][/QUOTE]
