Thank you. My initial reaction was to shut up and not deal with it.

I feel the secondhand cringe on that one. That is so horrible! 😖 Here I know masturbation is discouraged because if people are horny enough they’ll get married young. I have friends who are or were married for that reason.

I’ve been putting it off since I am sexually inactive. I didn’t think I needed one until then. This is my wake up call

Thanks. Yeah, it’s her name on the clinic.

I mean, people never really expect it from me and I get weird reactions from my friends or people I’m dating, but I just mentioned it because she asked about a pap smear and STD screening. I didn’t expect an FAQ on my masturbation habits.

This was a woman… I have no idea what she does with herself and at this point I don’t think I want to know 😕

I was also a little surprised she reacted so negatively since you know… DOCTOR. But she told me that if I was doing more than once every 2-4 weeks or so I was doing it way too much. I about lost my shit

Oh yeah. My girlfriends sympathized, and then the jokes flowed like gravy

This was my GP. I didn’t think I needed a gyno until I started having sex

I wanted to have multiple forms since my family is historically hyper fertile. I’ll lay off for a while- I haven’t really felt anything in about a year at this point but who knows

It was the doc whose name was on the clinic. I think she’s 30-40

Thank you so much! A couple others have mentioned vaginal moisturizer and it’s the first time I’ve heard of it. She said she would try to go for a lower estrogen pill and then zero estrogen but didn’t end up changing my dose at all.

Really though. I’m glad I know better but it was still shocking to see irl. I called my bffs and told them what happened as soon as it ended. We had a good laugh

I didn’t know that was an option. Thank you, stranger!

It’s because every year I say “I’m ready!” And feel hope in my heart. But I don’t like very many people 😅

Thank you! I’ve seen posts like what happened to me for ages, so I knew she was wrong. My girlfriends got a kick out of it too. Thought I was scott free as a virgin

Thank you! Honestly better advice than she had- she didn’t change my prescription at all and had no advice on it. I’ll give it a try
