The only people I trust to keep this confidential are my parents! As for my doctor... my doctor could care less about how this is affecting me emotionally, he may just prescribe some meds. For instance my doc barely even wanted to speak to me as he was so busy and had one foot out the door calling the next patient... doctors really don't give a crap about you and just want to go through as many patients as possible in a day.
Not all are like that (or at least they hide it better). I would look for a different doctor.

I used to be very close to my mother, she was more like a sister at one point in my life. I did share some very detailed information with her, and not only did she told my father about, also once during and argument she used that information against me. After that, I no longer tell her anything. As time goes by, we are growing apart.
Oh well, I'm sure it's for the best.

well, if you had an impotence related problem and were having trouble having kids what would you tell your parents when they ask you "WHERE THE HELL ARE MY GRANDKIDS???" and why is it taking so long...

A. Impotence and infertility are two different things, and B. It's none of their business.

yeah. If I would be a man, I wouldn't mind telling my parents that I am not fertile. But I wouldn't tell my parents if I can't get it up.


Same as a woman - I would tell my parents if I can't have children because of ... But I would not tell them if I have vaginal dryness or an STD.

My mom was an ice princess, so she wouldn't say anything anyways, my dad, I wouldn't want to hear about his sex life. He one time told me that his junk doesn't work anymore and that was far TMI for me.

I could talk to my grandmother about it. And give detail. She doesn't mind. My mother prefers to stay away from ANY sex topics with me, or my brother.

But she was the same way. My mother talked to her grandmother about sex - not her mother.

Not super close with my mother and she'd be the last person I'd ask for sex and dating advice.
