THEY ARE AFRAID! THEY ARE VERY AFRAID!
But note they want to visit the Planet Uranus, gotta keep that Colon clean-Men and Women alike.
I was just listening to an article on RED EYE(Fox News) last week. The reporters were discussing women over 50 visiting 2nd and 3rd world countries, doing the wild thing, without protection. That is insane.

I never click on links from someone I don't know...I might end up in virusland.
But anyhow, In my - - - - -
years, I have never had any
doctor ask me if I was sexually active. If a woman has that kind of a question, he waits for HER to do the asking.
She usually goes and sees
a Gyn to ask that question
anyhow. I had a Gyn once
who was very unprofessional
but never went back to him.

Actually it isnt out of line for them to ask, IMO, because sex is part of a healthy life style and is good for your overall health just as any other form of "exercise". So if your doctor asks if you go for walks, take part in physical recreation and activities, eat heathy, take a multi vitamin, drink lots of water, watch your cholestrol then he should ask if you have a healthy and active sex life.
It does keep you younger, is a wonder for getting rid of headaches, so that old excuse "not tonight dear I have an headache" has been proven to be the opposite of what it should be - it should be "I have a headache get in here" :-)
Sex with a loving partner is good for the heart and good for the soul -

Most of my doctors are younger then me now.
Maybe it is hard for them to ask people their parnets and grandparents age about their sex life.
Just a thought.
Maybe if our husbands are not on"V" the doc's think we are not having a sex life.
Or who would want us except are spouse.
I have been married almos 40 years and Never BEEN asked.
But, I have asked to be checked. My husband got a little upset he thought I did something. That is why I wanted to be check.
Then he said, he never gave me a reason to think he did anything.
My husband never gave me a reason to doubt him. But in my heart of hearts if he ever did do something he would not tell me.
I want to be around to enjoy my great grand children.
I take my health serious.
Happy Holidays

Never had a doctor ask me if I was sexually active when I was younger and they haven't asked me now that I'm older.

My doctor never has. I guess because he knows me and my husband, he doesn't think it is a necessary question, lol! But I guess if you had a problem that indicated the question was pertinent, a doctor should ask.

Yes. I'm 54, and my doctor asked me if I was sexually active, AND if I was using birth control.

That question has never come up at my doctors appointments. I really wish it was a question asked to our teens today. They are not frank with their parents. It would open a dialog about safety, etc.

My primary car physician asks mainly to see if blood pressure medications and others affect the drive. I'm sure you've heard sometimes the mind is willing etc.
