Yes, it's standard on the form for all doctors in my health care system.

Stranger things have happened. 

Last year I read about a 68 year old woman who was going to carry her daughter's fertilized eggs to term because the daughter kept miscarrying.   

She delivered a healthy baby girl that was both her biological daughter AND granddaughter!

@Carmie -- I have never been asked that question although my new PCP indicated that he would be open to questions related to sexuality. I also never check in online as I have serious concerns about putting that info out in cyberspace. And ... I have never been challenged or questioned about it. I simply supply that info at the time of my appointment, either verbally or by filling out a form. I realize that all medical offices use the net to communicate but I feel like I have decreased the information sharing by one link.

My check-in form includes asking how I identify, but I've never been asked about my "love life".  

My hairdresser had to see a urologist and during the exam he asked her if she had multiple partners and she said, no I'm married.  He then replied that doesn't always matter to some people.  

He then asked her if she and her husband had an active "love life" and she replied "well we're both almost 60 so it's not all that active.  She said he just laughed.  

The question that always made me laugh is when I'm asked " what was the date you began your first period.  At my age, do they really expect me to remember?   I've also been asked is there any chance you could be pregnant.  Just like another poster stated, I always want to say, just look at me.  Do you think at my age I could be pregnant.

I remember going for a routine pregnancy check up and the form asked - if I wear a seat belt?

@Tinkrbl44 As the OP stated, this is a new doc and her first visit.

I know that. 

My post was sharing MY experience.

It's a standard question but I haven't seen it on an online check-in. I wonder if you could have answered N/A, @Carmie.

That question has been asked for years...no big deal.
