when patient asks you if you like "69" during sexual history, what's the best way to respond?

I think William Osler said it best:

"I prefer 68 and I'll owe you 1."

Why is your patient taking your sexual history?

I was asking him questions when he suddenly asked me that

Oh I'd probably take off my white coat, roll up my sleeves and square up. Only logical thing I could think to do.

LOL
Just curious, did you answer?

me: what do you mean 69?
pt: does some awkward motions
me: uhmmmm do you like 69?

probably wasn't the best response...

Whenever things get weird i always say that its a conversation about them not me, and keep going like nothing happened.

Amateur move. Redirect the patient with: "Tell me what you think about that"

A true clinician would ask if he likes to do that with men or women; this way you can determine if he is high risk for certain fecal-oral infections and his sexual orientation.

srs question - what percentage of US med students in 2016 wouldn't know if asked....30%? And here adcoms claim to be seeking "well-rounded" applicants.

I would have asked how does that make you feel?

Obviously not the best response. You went ask-ask instead of ask-tell-ask

"men, women, or both?"

69, 70....you know, whatever it takes.

I tell the patient that, while I am uncomfortable with the question, if he remains curious about the answer he can simply ask his mother.

@Reckoner , I just want to say that I've heard people throwing around the term 'Streampaw' for months now but have never gotten it until I clicked on your links. Best. spoiler. ever.
