can gums be sensitive yet still healthy? I would think that if they're sensitive, that in itself makes them less healthy, no?

sensitive to what? and what kind of sensation? you mean pain? i think pain is felt in the gingiva in the following conditions:
moderate-severe mechanical trauma
severe gingivitis such as ulcerative and/or necrotizing.....other than that, gingivitis is pretty much painless.
perhaps you meant sensitive teeth?
 
Lots of men have problems with this. Yes, you can be sensitive and healthy. It's even ok to cry.
