Doctors should ask men who struggle to get an erection if they are GAY: Failing to rise to the occasion in bed could be sign they are 'wrestling' with their sexuality, new guidelines state

Doctors should quiz men who struggle to get an erection in bed if they are actually gay, according to new guidelines.

Some 100,000 Britons are estimated to be 'wrestling' with their sexuality - which is causing them to fail to rise to the occasion and perform when it matters.

A new 28-page report, by the British Society for Sexual Medicine, has been dished out to GPs to ask them about their sexual orientation.

But the move has received backlash from the Royal College of GPs, which warns it is 'difficult' to see why doctors need to ask if their patients are gay.

The new BSSM report reads: 'There can no longer be an excuse for avoiding discussions about sexual activity due to embarrassment.

Geoff Hackett, former president of the BSSM and consultant urologist at the Good Hope Hospital, Birmingham, is the author of the report.

What did the author say?

According to The Sun, he said: 'Some people can be wrestling with their sexuality and need to be pointed in the right direction.

'This may be your one and only chance as a doctor to do so.

However, Dr Hackett warned that doctors need to be 'tactful so you do not cause offence'.

What do critics say?

Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard, from the Royal College of GPs, said: 'There are many reasons for erectile dysfunction.

'It is essential patients have the safe space to discuss issues with their GP, whenever they choose to and in their own time.

'But it is difficult to see how asking all patients unsolicited and impromptu questions about their sexuality is going to instil confidence and trust.'

Erection problems, including impotence, strike around half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70, according to figures.

Most men occasionally fail to get or keep an erection. This is usually due to stress, tiredness, anxiety or drinking too much alcohol.

Doctors say it is usually nothing to worry about – but recommends patients should see a GP if it keeps happening. It can be linked to heart disease.

'Ask all patients if they are gay'

The guidelines given to GPs by the BSSM comes after the hugely controversial NHS decision to ask all patients if they are gay.

NHS England bosses received huge backlash in October when they announced the plans, set to be implemented in 2019.

Every patient visiting their GP or attending a hospital appointment will be asked if they are gay, straight or bisexual under the new rules.

Furious doctors have branded the move as being 'political correctness gone mad', while others blasted it 'intrusive' and 'bonkers'.

I wonder if they are going to ask fags with ED if they are "straight"?

Theory: most older men with ED should try fucking younger women, not dudes.

Guess there's no way they will ask him if his girlfriend is ugly. And prescribe a hotter one.

I don't see how that's going to help.

"Doctor, I'm having some trouble... with my wife. In the bedroom. You know."

"HAH! You fuckin' gay, bro?"

By this logic, if your girl is the same skin color as you, your ed is because you fetishize other races, or that you really want to be with a tranny, or be one yourself. There is really no end to it.

I bet somewhere up the ladder the British health service has a dispute with the Viagra people.

I've dealt with the va here in america for years. No matter what the case may be, they somehow try to prescribe you shit you don't need. For some reason its usually Viagra.

I had a bad tonsil situation a while back and the conversation somehow always wound up asking me about my erections.

Aloha!

Doctor: Your current GF dosage is not enough and it expired years ago. I recommend you stop taking it immediately. I'm prescribing a 6 dosage that is 18 years old. This should greatly improved the results from the 4 that is 35 years old.

We will have a follow up appointment in a month. I sent the prescription to "Generic College Bar". I suggest picking it up ASAP.

These guidelines are gay, but this isn't an area where the NHS has ever had much clear-headedness.
Between Pfizer pushing for more prescriptions and witless shit like this, it's pretty clear that all the sensitive areas of healthcare like fertility, weight loss, mental health are all battlegrounds for pharma and the social engineers.
As a result, they're all fucked up and doctors don't want to address any of them as they should-so they either write a prescrption, fob them off or refer them out. As a diabetic, I'm supposed to be asked about my dick health at every annual appointment.
Guess how often I've had that happen in ten years?

Any UK members ever even heard of the British Society for Sexual Medicine?

Could just be a press release from an obscure organization splashed onto the front page to make us hate this gay earth.

Monty Python was a meme farm before memes were a thing.



Imagine what most Britons today would make of Eric Idle's skit "I want to be a woman" from Life Of Brian.





The fuckers wouldn't know whether to laugh or take it seriously.

More proof of meme country status.





I don't know why Robinson and crew don't just pick up their cricket bats and start a coup already. The resistance they'd face would apparently be trivial.

With all fairness, that is a trollstation prank. It is actually a black man under a whitemask.

This is not a new thing, everyone is already taught to ask about sexual orientation in medical school. Definitely for any presentation even possibly relating to sexual activity, and theoretically even if not, since you can't be sure how things fit together until you know all of somebody's health risks.

Most of the time if it's erectile dysfunction and a middle-aged guy, the reason is more likely to be hardening arteries, not because he suddenly starts preferring cock.

Generally the prescription for erectile dysfunction should be to lose 30 kgs.
Off the wife's arse.

For older people its vascular or hormone related typically, for younger people its typically psychological (and probably porn related these days). But if you live in a large city you actually do pick up orientation issues with not-uncommon frequency if you ask.

Liberal science - as men get older they become homosexual.

Conservative answer - homosexuality is curable - by Viagra.

Good catch, but it was so pedestrian in regards to current expectations that it didn't even strike me as unlikely.
