Answers:
Any activity involving sexual organs (such as oral sex) is generally considered sexual activity, especially in a medical context!. You're old enough for it to be okay, and you shouldn't be embarrassed about it!. It is important for your doctors to know about these things so they can help you stay healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you should tell the OB/GYN that you are *considering* becoming sexually active because, as you said, you want them to be thorough!. Also, I don't know if/when you do plan to become vaginally sexually active, but this would be a good opportunity to get a 'baseline' checkup done (you really should have one before having sex so you can identify what, if any conditions were already there and which were caused by sex!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK!. You are a young adult, but still an adult!. Please do the mature thing and don't let your embarrassment interfere with your getting good medical care!.

Yes, you are sexually active!. To make sure there is no miscommunication, just tell your doctor what you've told us here, i!.e!., that you engage in oral sex!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just say yes, because Oral sex is a form of sexual activity, which you can get STDs from, aswell as stimulation to genital areas like touching for example!. Just because you didn't full out have sex you are still considered sexually active!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes; if you have been involved in any kind of sexual contact, you are sexually active!. Oral sex definitely counts!. Don't be embarrassed to be open with medical professional; they deal with this stuff all day every day, and they aren't judging you!. Have a good life! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

tell them what you are doing, my opinion is anything that can put you at risk is sexually active!. even if your just having oral sex it counts as sexually active because you are having a form of sex and it is dangerousWww@Answer-Health@Com

oral sex would make you sexually active!. explain to the dr what you're doing and trust me she wont laugh or be suprised by whatever you say!. remember you can get stds from oral sex also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If your hymen is still intact you are technically not sexually active!. But you should be clear with your OB/GYN about the intimacy level you reach with your boyfriend!. Trust Me, He or She has heard it before!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
