Hi all.  I am pondering having a pacemaker defibrillator put in for a heart condition.  It's not likely to go off during sex.  And even if it did it could be thought of as an extra level of protection in case a fatal heart rhythm begins.  It would only look like a small bump under the skin near the left shoulder.  Would any providers prefer to not see me if I had one?

Be sure he knows what your hobby is and get his or her input on this as well.

I think most gals would at least want to know about this before they see you because some might be, justifiably, concerned with the medical complications that could ensue.

When your doctor told you he thought you should get more exercise, what, exactly, did you think he meant?

Frankly many many folks are walking around with these devices implanted in them.  And for various reasons.  Although I've never heard of someone just getting this implanted for a "shocker" of a good time.

She's gonna see or feel it anyway.  I've got paroxysmal afib, but both my cardiologist and urologist say not to worry about it.  It's unlikely to be any kind of problem unless my heart rate goes up too high, but that's never been a problem during sex.  I've got a pill that I always carry to convert the afib and I always have plenty of time to take it.

to tell a hooker of your medical conditions? It's not like you have a communicable disease or visible Psoriasis.
Don't be one of those old folks who have to tell the world about their ailments unless you are at the pharmacy waiting line, because no one else cares and the hookers will probably not be interested either.

If your near Palm Springs I for one would love to see you xoxo

I tell her it's all for her so she won't have to see an older, balding, overweight, out-of-shape john, she can see an older, balding, in-very-good-shape john.  She gets pissed about calling myself a john.  She tells me I'm a boyfriend who helps pay the bills.

Because she's going to see or feel it anyway, so why make her uncomfortable by making her guess what it is?  No big deal, just tell her and then go for it.

It's not something that would make anyone uncomfortable.  Have you ever seen anyone who has had this implant?  Google it and that'll give you a decent idea of what it looks like.

I know it looks nothing like the dramatic "clear" and the jerking of the person once the 250 joules have been discharged.  My Dad has one and it has gone off and it is noticeable, at least the person with it feels like they have been donkey kicked in the chest.
