-- Posted by Rabbit4U at 12:51 pm on May 28, 2008 Have you ever not told your gynecologist the truth about your sexual activity? Especially for your first visit . . . when asked if you are sexually active, did you say NO when really you were?  Or ever about how many sexual partners you have had? This can be in the past, or if in the present. -- Posted by RossTheHoss69 at 12:52 pm on May 28, 2008 I've never had to lie to anyone about it. -- Posted by Ancient Rights at 12:52 pm on May 28, 2008 MALE - I don't count. -- Posted by NikkiMikki at 12:52 pm on May 28, 2008 Never been yet, but I'm guessing a lot of girls do that. -- Posted by darKStorm at 12:52 pm on May 28, 2008 Is it common for a girl to visit a gynecolegist? Just out of curiosity. -- Posted by Trastie at 12:52 pm on May 28, 2008 That would be quite dumb, now wouldn't it? -- Posted by ashka at 12:52 pm on May 28, 2008 ive never been to one. -- Posted by the raven at 12:53 pm on May 28, 2008 No, I have never lied about my partner history. -- Posted by DirtyConspiracy at 12:53 pm on May 28, 2008 I've never been. -- Posted by effyouseakay at 12:53 pm on May 28, 2008 I don't lie to my gynecologist. I don't see a purpose in doing so. -- Posted by ijustdontknow at 12:53 pm on May 28, 2008 I don't count   haha -- Posted by OodleNoodle at 12:53 pm on May 28, 2008 Never been. Do they have a male counterpart to the gyno? I mean, I know they have urologists, but guys don't need to start seeing them until they're what..30s? 40s? I guess it's easier because their "equipment" is on the outside. -- Posted by greatescape at 12:54 pm on May 28, 2008 It would be stupid to say you havent had sex when you have....they can see if your hymen is still intact. Although I did lie to my regular physician, because there was no reason she needed to know, and I was 16 and it would have resulted in a lecture. -- Posted by Hey Jewlee at 12:54 pm on May 28, 2008 No, because it can only hurt me to lie. Obviously, I went there for my health, so why would I lie? -- Posted by Pisciculus at 12:55 pm on May 28, 2008 It would be dumb because they cant help you if you dont let them help you.  Otherwise you are paying for nothing.  And if you have had sex and you tell them you havent they might not notice something or test you for STDs or something.... -- Posted by ss454 at 12:55 pm on May 28, 2008 Quote: from OodleNoodle at 12:53 pm on May 28, 2008 Never been.

I don't know why I would lie about it, either. -- Posted by OodleNoodle at 12:56 pm on May 28, 2008 Quote: from darKStorm at 12:52 pm on May 28, 2008 Is it common for a girl to visit a gynecolegist?   Just out of curiosity. Yes. You're supposed to go at least once a year after you become sexually active and/or you turn 18, whichever comes first. -- Posted by Indiefreak2010 at 12:56 pm on May 28, 2008 havent been yet -- Posted by OodleNoodle at 12:57 pm on May 28, 2008 Quote: from greatescape11 at 12:54 pm on May 28, 2008 It would be stupid to say you havent had sex when you have....they can see if your hymen is still intact. Although I did lie to my regular physician, because there was no reason she needed to know, and I was 16 and it would have resulted in a lecture. But a hymen that is no longer intact means nothing. It can be broken other ways. -- Posted by Innuendo Girl at 1:00 pm on May 28, 2008 It would be stupid to lie about that. It's not like she's going to tell someone or lecture you about it. She's there to help. -- Posted by greatescape at 1:01 pm on May 28, 2008 Quote: from OodleNoodle at 2:57 pm on May 28, 2008 Quote: from greatescape11 at 12:54 pm on May 28, 2008 It would be stupid to say you havent had sex when you have....they can see if your hymen is still intact.    Although I did lie to my regular physician, because there was no reason she needed to know, and I was 16 and it would have resulted in a lecture.

True but Im willing to bet that more often than not it's broken during intercourse. -- Posted by Sitora Sage at 1:03 pm on May 28, 2008 I am totally honest with my gyno. They are your doctor and need all the info so they can do whats best for you.
