I don't know anybody who mandatorily reports masturbation even if it is a rule violation, mainly because custody doesn't really care unless the inmate is doing it in an exhibitionist or threatening way.<BR/><BR/>SeaMonkey---wow, that picture looks like something that would hurt!ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1168061781517279382007-01-06T00:36:00.000-05:002007-01-06T00:36:00.000-05:00Great post!

You and Sara both have lots of puns - you both would fit into British society quite nicely, I suspect! ;)<BR/><BR/>My first therapist (who was a PhD psychologist, well-known around here for her work with adolescents) used to talk about church and religion all the time. But not in an offensive way. It might have even been in response to my discussions about religion since in high school, one of the ways I got through one of my darkest darkest times was by reconnecting with my faith. However, now when I think back on it, it seems kinda odd. I didn't know anything else about her, but she did talk about going to church a lot!<BR/><BR/>At one point, I made some remark about religion to my current psychiatrist. And he made some comment (I can't remember the exact wording so this might not be it at all - but this is how I remember it) about religion being a crutch for people to get through life. Something like that. I don't know - that's probably not right at all, but it was something that led me to believe he is either an atheist, or else brought up in a religion but doesn't believe in organized religion. Either way - doesn't bother me one bit. I hate when people push religion on me....I especially hated it when at Penn State - the bible belt of Pennsylvania. If you weren't a party animal, then you were a religious fanatic who went to Friday night worship services. Since I wasn't a party animal, I tried the religious scene, but it was too weird for me. Not my thing. However, I have a very strong sense of faith - independent of organized religion - at least at this point!<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the tangent - just thought the comparison was interesting. My psychiatrist has never again said anything about religion, but it is interesting that both therapists I have gone to for any extensive period of time (I went to a couple people at Penn State, but one was for 1 appt and the other was for like 2 weeks) have voiced their own thoughts on religion in some way, without my even asking.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm REALLY going to sleep!

I mean, if someone were to tell you that they were havng completely consensual sex with themselves, would you be expected to do anything about it?

If they told me they were sexually active they'd be confessing to a rule violation. (And yes, that would include activities done without a partner.)<BR/><BR/>SeaMonkey, they can't diagnose me when they're too busy groaning.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1168051904200169172007-01-05T21:51:00.000-05:002007-01-05T21:51:00.000-05:00Patients often assume that my work must bring a pr...Patients often assume that my work must bring a profound and affirming belief in God. I bet they don't assume that about their accountants, either.<BR/><BR/>Although I frequently inquire about patients sexual orientation ("Are you sexually active? If so, is it with men, women or both?" is on my annual exam patient questionaires), patients never ask me about mine.Midwife with a Knifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309579302399381913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1168051836251731282007-01-05T21:50:00.000-05:002007-01-05T21:50:00.000-05:00Personally, I'd rather not know the religious quir...Personally, I'd rather not know the religious quirks of my doctor.

Better be careful about the puns though: if you crack too many, Roy and Dinah might diagnose you with something.

I, too, have patients occasionally ask my religion, they often assume it (with no particular accuracy) and I have been asked my sexual orientation. Funny, I bet people don't ask their accountants these questions.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.com
