LIE: “I’m monogamous.”

Women lie about their sex lives because they don’t want to be judged. However, if you get an STD and you are not honest with your doctor about how many men you are sleeping with, your treatment may take longer than necessary, which can lead to more complications.

Your doctor is not there to judge you but to make sure that you get the proper treatment. Your doctor’s main concern is whether or not you are at risk for STDs and related complications. If he is not aware of your sexual activity, treatment of your STD can be delayed. This can lead to a more serious pelvic infection, fertility problems, or cervical cancer. But if your gynecologist knows that you have several sexual partners, he can watch out for STDs and complications by giving you annual Pap smear exams.
