Question
When your doctor asks if you're sexually active, are they only referring to sexual intercourse?
Answer
No -- they do not mean just sexual intercourse! They really want to know about oral sex, fingering and any thing else you are doing that may expose you to sexually transmitted disease, infection or suggest that it is time to discuss a reliable method of birth control before something "just happens."
