Hello all,

No rectal exams from him, I hope. LOL

and changes into bragging about it?

We,, first of all you're supposed to be a grown ass man...that implies there are cajones somewhere.
Drag them out and dust them off. Because as of right now they've shriveled and shrunk somewhere.  
You do need to tell your personal Dr is whatever you are doing is risking your life or health.  
Stay covered and worry free.  
As for your shrink or priest? See first two lines above.

That I like to go to "the big city" as often as possible to have sex with hot women. I don't tell him it's P4P, as that has nothing to do with it.

and he asked me for more info. I just told him what he needed to know, and things proceeded from that. I now have them regularly, and talk freely about my sexual health. I don't worry about him keeping my confidence ever, not for a second.

...but I don't think paying for pussy is one of them. Lol

I bet they're not as fun as my "therapist"...lol. 😎

how much you could afford for P4P, unless you were paying him on a sliding scale based on income. And if that's the case, I suspect he started fucking with you...and not in a good way. lol

I also trust my doc 100%. I worry not one whit about his honesty. BUT when I am in his office, the visit is being filed on my insurance so people there gain access to info. And if a test comes back positive for certain types of communicable diseases, they are reported to the CDC, etc. Just me, but I don't tell my doc. Get tested anonymously, negative result, no need for doc to know.

Some of them are pretty damn traumatic, enough to make my dick shrivel up and hide.

stop seeing your shrink.  Keep in mind the endorphins released during sex are very therapeutic emotionally.

Lord, the things people worry about.

You mentioned the word "confidentiality" yourself.  Any and all healthcare workers that you see should practice 100% confidentiality.  It's simply the law.  There are very stiff penalties for violation of Privacy.

Can't TER hire some monkeys to cover for lunch breaks so we don't have to sit around and wait socialize with our friends???

to comply absolutely and without error with confidentiality laws and rules, let alone all the medical hacking reported recently. And more and more, anything that any doctor enters into her/his medical file will find its way into your Cloud medical dossier to be shared with every other medical facility that you ever contact, with insurance companies, and with who knows else. Test anonymously if you have anything to lose with public or SO disclosure.

Yeah, I included priests as part of a "catch-all" for similar situations where I could envision someone - either client or provider - discussing a side of their lives they often keep private with a confidante. You're right that "health professional" isn't a suitable definition across the board.

Great point.
And my primary care now uses "patient portal" which allows you to message him, see lab results etc.  
then I found out that anything in my chart goes onto the hospital server.  
No thanks.  
I go get an STD panel a few times a year...just in case.

Pretty sure you're projecting, detective. =)

when I saw a provider, I WAS getting professional help.  What am I missing here?

Why should you reveal that you are a hobbyist to your healthcare provider? Tell the doctor you have had multiple sex partners, whether you paid or not for it is inconsequential. Unless you are feeling guilty over something why tell a therapist or priest? It's your sex life and no one else's. Not judging, but DO NOT TELL your wife if you are cheating on her. That would be very bad for your health (financial & physical).

My advice is to still get rid of the shrink and start getting more pussy.

my doc always asks me if I'm sexually active (which implies some my age are not -  I would shoot myself if that were the case), and follows up with "one partner, or multiple partners?"  I say multiple, so he suggests I get a full STD panel twice a year, which I do.  He never, nor should he, ask for any details about my partners, and I don't volunteer any.  If we're still having this annual conversation in 20 years, then I might be inclined to brag a little.  Just a little.  

when we go get our STD tests together. Nothing like sharing a kiss over a specimen jar. We misbehaved a lot last week and are getting a run through on Friday.

Your physician including psychiatrist or psychologist can be subpoenaed to testify in court or real your records.  That information would be available in a divorce action, s child custody hearing, in a suit brought by you for damages, etc.

Could very well be...never said I was either unbiased or a walk in the park

Hahahahahahahahahahha....I've got a few years on, loved the joke.

in your dreams.

Once upon a time I was a firm believer in "Doctor Patient confidentiality", but now that the Federal Government has taken over health care, combined with the fact that the internet is forever, I am would suggest being a little less candid with your doctor, at least when filling out forms.

If you are going to pay someone hundreds of dollars an hour who isn't having sex with you, does it really make sense to hold back vital information if you have hired them to help you "figure shit out"

I'm open about that, too.

I have stopped seeing him. Near the end all I was doing was talking about providers.

but no lame stories about "I fell for a provider and I can't get up" or I'll start you on electroshock therapy. lol

Paying a shrink to talk about providers instead of using the same $$$ to actually SEE a provider seems, well, not productive.

The meetings must take place in a bar.

You are now looking silly

I can make sure my wife doesn't bring anything home lol
Then again the doc and nurse envy more than anything the thought
of SHARING TIME & COMPANIONSHIP ( legal ) with young beauties.
After all this isn't commitment time its FUN time and enjoy the moments
while you can get it up. Furthermore ditch the shrink, wayyy too close to
home & GA is right, a bar is easier cheaper and you'll save money for the
goilz

LMFAO

It is not necessary to pay if you are a good seduction artist.  The Interwebz is rife with so-called pick up artists who bed several ladies a month -- or so they claim.  Anyhow, that's an alternate explanation besides p4p.

Taking into consideration that it is somewhat "illegal" so the fear of your health professional telling on you may be a bit frightening. I wouldn't disclose the person's title i.e provider , if you just call her what she is "a mistress" then you could leave out little details such as her being a working girl

...and this is a complete goddamn shame.  Now I can't be 100% honest when filling out the forms or speaking with my Dr. because I have to preemptively play defense/damage control in case some shit ever happens where I might be exposed like in a custody case, divorce, etc.

Like separating church and religion ... I let my company pay for my "life coach" and I pay for my hookers. Tried to negotiate reversing the coverage with my company ... no luck

If your shrink is judgmental of you time to get a new shrink. Besides if he spills you got a hell of a case.  Anyway my doctor knows I have done this and may do so in the future again ,as does my shrink. They also know my wife provides and sees sex workers as well. Medical staff, unless your a danger to yourself or others, legally can't disclose such information and would be risking both a huge law suit and losing their licence should they break that confidentiality.  

Was that a risky thing to do? Seems more risky to not tell him, healthwise

I'm no expert on the contours of the patient-psychotherapist privilege. My guess is that they have a duty to report if you're going to engage in a harmful crime? Don't test their judgment of that line. At the very least I'd say, past tense only

Private insurance companies including of course HMOs and those providers of your medications for your insurance company all can and do access your records any time they have to make a payment. I regularly get notes from medication providers (these are the companies that your insurer has provide your meds at the lowest price possible) telling me that such and such a medication is too expensive and wouldn't Ms. Jones do just as well with a cheap and often not nearly as good substitute. They often also write Ms Jones telling her to ask me for the cheaper substitute.  They review clients meds to wring every penny in costs out and in passing know what meds my patients are taking as the insurer knows what my patients problems are.  Psychiatrists and psychologists often have to account to insurance company by revealing why they are treating a patient and the insurer will then tell the shrink how many visits are being allowed. (I am not making this up, unbelievably it is true.)

So I always think that if I got really sick, my family and especially my wife would have access to my medical records, and whoops, the dude was boning hookers and hitting the bong regularly.  Like weekly for the one and daily for the other.  

I have not told my GP as I know many of the office staff/ other doctors in the office.  I have told her that I am exploring and swinging so that I can adequately test and be responsible to myself and all of you.  The older you are the less likely that they would assume you are in a high risk category so they will not suggest std's and paps etc.  I am tested every 3-4 months.  Overkill but I feel better and safer.  

He was my counselor for helping me quit drinking. I don't think meeting in a bar would be a good idea.
