Sir, on reading the letters page this week I have to wonder how Professor Scully 'tactfully' includes the question of sexual history (BDJÂ 2008; 205: 468). I have to say some of my patients are reluctant to even reveal to me that they smoke or drink alcohol on their medical histories let alone tell me how many times they have been lap dancing in the past year!
