Doctor, doctor

A few weeks ago, I had to have a complete physical, the prerequisite for a new insurance carrier to take on my policy. This matter forced my hand, as I had not selected a new primary care physician when my former doctor retired from his practice. For expediency's sake, the first doctor I selected performed the examination. I figured it was as good a way as any to get to know each other...he my health, me his manner.

At one point in the proceedings, The Prospective Personal Doc asked me a barrage of intimate personal questions: Did I engage in oral sex? Anal sex? Traumatic sex?

I had to have that last one explained to me, since I wasn't aware there was any other kind.
