Doctor: Are you having any problems with
infection or discharge?
Patient: No. It went so well that I'm also thinking
about additional piercings.
Doctor: May I ask where?
Patient: Sure, but first I'd like to discuss some
other aspects of my sexual history. My partner and I
are involved in an S/M relationship. Do you know what
that is?
Doctor: Not really.
Patient: We role-play a variety of scenes during
sex. Sometimes, as a result, I have bruises and other
marks on my body. I wanted to tell you this before you
actually saw it and became concerned that I was being
abused. What we do is consensual, and I have never
enjoyed sex or a relationship so much.
Doctor: To be honest, I don't really know very
much about this sort of thing.
Patient: I can refer you to some reading materials if
you're interested. And to answer your other question,
I want my clitoral hood pierced.
Doctor: I don't know anything about that or its
possible complications.
Patient: If it becomes infected or causes any other
problems, I will come in immediately.
Doctor: OK.
