    Why would I waste €50 if I am not going to tell my doctor what is wrong ?

    A healthcare professional is not there to judge you. He is there to help. Tell him what's wrong and your problem shared would be a problem halved.

    I stopping fearing what to tell the doctor when i was about 16. Dont be ashamed or embarresed. If your afraid. Its most likely a problem that needs serious sorting. In that case your going to have to tell someone.

    A real man keeps it to himself?

    That's a silly statement.



    OP if you have a sexual health problem just see a doctor.

    I have no problem discussing any medical problem or health issue with my doctor .Why worry needlessly over something that might not be worth worrying about ,something that can be sorted out by a chat with a man (or womon ) who is there for just that purpose ?

    The doc had his finger up my ass once.

    He didnt even buy me dinner before he inserted.

    If you cant talk about a problem to a man who had his hand up your ass, you never will.

    ps..it didnt make me spontainously ejaculate.

    I went home and made love to my woman like an olympian afterwards to make sure i wasnt ghey.

    Doc: "Don't worry,son...it's perfectly normal to have an erection during an examination of your testes"

    Me: " I don't have an erection!"

    Doc: "No...I was talking about me!!!"

    If by real man you mean are stupid moron who'd sooner let his dick go green than show it to a professional, then no, I am a woman/fag/whatever the real men call it these days. ;)

    My doctor has seen me inside out since I was 0, so I'm fairly comfortable with her.

    Jumping the gun a bit arent we?
    Who said it was a sexual health problem?
    I have no problem...but just curious as to how manly A.H was?

    Ya see....it was a topic of conversation today...that men generally will not go to the doctor unless somthing was seriously wrong...hence the differing L.E of men over women. Women have a tendecy to see docs for check ups...so head off serious medical issues.

    Didn't mean you in particular! I just meant "one". Although sexual health problems tend to be the ones men have difficulty talking about, so I think that's a fair leap!

    Can you tell your doctor anything? I suppose as long as it's medical. Not much point in fessing up to murder to him, looking for holy absolution. Chances are, he'd probably ring the guards.

    I don't get embarrassed, so it's a non-issue.

    Would have no problems around sexual health or anything like. I work in a medical setting as I have heard alot in my professional life. Never had this issue before, but I'm a licensed firearm holder; I hunt. So does my GP; however, now they have introduced medical background checks I would be more cautious around my psychological health, not worried about my GP, but how some Garda may interpret this data. Though as I'm a psychotherapist if I have psychological issues that required them to be addressed, this would happen; but as I said I would be alot more cautious.

    The embarrassment factor would not come into it, I'm also a endurance athlele, at one stage I was training for a long distance desert event I do regularly, anyway I was doing sessions designed to acclimatise me to heat, the result with that was it messed with my BP. Is showed itself by giving me very severe sharp pains in my head when I ejactulated; I had no issues bringing that to the table, or any other sexual health issues.
    Maybe because I deal daily with issues that people are embarrassed about, I have no issues with it, with the exception of the issues I'm metioned above, but even then I just said I would be cautious not that I would not say it.

    This :( once. The solution was lying in a spare empty surgery for about half an hour after the doctor had put that gel they use when inserting things where they shouldn't on my penis. Very embarrassing and now I've told all of AH.

    Lord knows they have had to visit the Doctor on an occasion or two.

    I would think the most embarrassing would be to have the need of a 'foreign object' removed from a body cavity. And yes, a bottle of Jameson still counts as a foreign object. I keep having to correct the doctors when they bring that point up on my visits...

    I keep getting them stuck in my ear, btw, you dirty-minded bastards.

    Never thought of this; now that I have I don't think I'd be rushing to the doctor over something that could cost me my licence. I'd imagine anyone with a history of any mental illness would be liable to lose their licence.
    And no doubt an untrained Garda would be in charge of sifting through the medical histories and making judgements.

    from my experience, (i'm a psychiatrist) we've often been asked to provide reports and opinion on whether or not someone should get a licence, or get it back after a period of suspension. (i used to work in an area with a large hunting population)


    whiel guards might be happy to make the decision to take/suspend a licence, they sure as hell arent going to singlehandedly take the responsibility of giving it back to someone with a psych history (nor should they)
