You have to realize the underlying reason why they're asking it. The doctor doesn't want to hear your private life to embarrass you, or to interrogate you like a police officer (although in most countries he's lawfully obliged to report illicit activity, so also consider that). He needs to have a complete patient history so he can consider whether the health problem you have might be related to a possible STD or some sex-related injury for example. E.g. when you show up with occult gastrointestial bleeding, it's very relevant for the doctor to know whether you've received rough anal sex recently, or whether he should send you on a round hospital trip to rule out serious diagnoses like cancer, ulcerous colitis or Crohn's.Basically the title. When you’re at the doctor and they ask you if you’re sexually active, what do you say? I have an appointment coming up and although I haven’t had human sex in a while I’ve been having plenty of doggy pussy lol.
They're not asking it for the sake of invading your privacy, or to be a creep.There is no need to answer such questions. The doctor is not an SS interrogator. There is also the concept of privacy.

That said, if it was only with a female dog, it's best to simply keep your mouth shut and deny doing anything. If you were bottoming, then depending on context, you could mention doing it with a boyfriend/FWB that you know longterm and trust. Because the doctor also wants to know if you've been doing it with one stable individual or if you're promiscuous, swinging or some other risky activity (but if you are, just mention that you are).
And I guarantee you that no doctor has a clue about zoonotic STDs, so don't even get started on that line of thinking. Such diagnoses are House MD fringe territory, not reality. "Patient has heart worms, by the end of the episode it turns out he got them from shagging a cow 2 years ago"
Oh, but he will definitely remember the guy who told him how he gets his asshole knotted on the regular... They do remember the foreign objects, since they're often unique cases with quite the tragicomedic element.This post is exactly correct. If you're topping, there's no need to say anything. If you're bottoming, you can boil down your answer to "yes" and "I'm gay." Trust me, your doctor probably doesn't want to spend any longer thinking about your sex life than you do talking about it. Not even because it's gross, but because it's boring. He won't remember it, and it will be a vague line on your file, literally a box to tick.
We're talking about professional men and women who routinely remove foreign objects from buttholes and treat perianal cysts and stuff. They're just looking for diagnostic criteria in case it becomes relevant. The most you're going to get is an offer for an HIV test. Trust me, you're (medically) boring. ?
Just tell him you tried to take a small pineapple on a dare, and it ended badly. Like Hitler in the little nicky adam sandler movie.E.g. when you show up with occult gastrointestial bleeding, it's very relevant for the doctor to know whether you've received rough anal sex recently, or whether he should send you on a round hospital trip to rule out serious diagnoses like cancer, ulcerous colitis or Crohn's.
