writes: Is it possible for someone in the medical profession to have a satisfying sex life? I ask this because I am 20 years old and am starting medical school in about 2 years. I have only kissed one girl in my life who was a girlfriend of mine in high school. We broke up over going to different schools. I am still a virgin unfortunately. Recently I have been having this unexplainable fear that if I do go through medical school, I will not be able to have the decent sex life I imagined myself having as a not so popular guy with the ladies in high school due to having no confidence in myself, which I still don't. Not to send the wrong messages, but I cannot see myself becoming anything other than a doctor because of my want to help people and save lives. Helping people has been the one thing I have ever truly had confidence in myself in. I have this fear that becoming a doctor means no sex life and that by the time I do get everything together in my 30's that it would be too late to have a satisfying sex life?Are these fears rational or is it just the books getting to me?

 Hello
I work in healthcare and I can assure you that being a medical student and eventually a doctor will in no way hinder you from having a normal sex life. If anything is going to hold you back, it's your lack of confidence.
I know of many doctors who met their wives in medical school or as junior doctors. And many others who are happily playing the field in their twenties, thirties and forties.
Don't worry, it's the books getting to you! I'm sure you have a happy and successful future in front of you. Don't forget, though, occasionally you have to put the books down and socialise .... get yourself out there.
Good luck.
