When I was 16, my ulcers got worse. My (middle-aged, extremely staid) gastroenterologist prescribed some drugs, then said, "And you'll want to watch what you eat, of course." And he gave me some information on diet and asked if I had any questions.
I did. "So, could swallowing semen be a problem?"
It seemed like a relatively innocent question! And such an obvious one! But he turned BRIGHT RED, and then stammered out, "Do you. Uh. Do that? Uh. A lot?"
And I said, "Well, not a lot. Just, like, every other day or so, I guess. A little more than that. Maybe four or five times a week?"
I spent 15 more minutes with him, and he didn't stop blushing (or look at me, or even in my direction - he just stared down at my chart) that entire time. Very awkward. (If you're curious: yes, he did advise me to stop. And I did not say to him, "You've just ruined my plans for the summer." But I was sorely tempted, let me tell you.)
