Who cares how he or she will react? Vanilla or otherwise, people will always be people and they will have an opinion. Opinions don't hurt as long as they don't interfere with the level of care you receive. If you believe that your Dr. would allow his or her opinion of your lifestyle to alter the level of care you receive, maybe it's time to shop around for a new one. Here in Canada, our medical expenses are completely paid for; I have NO idea what an STD test costs out of pocket, but they're covered as long as the doctor prescribes it.
Our doctor knows and she's been with us over 10 years. When we first told her, I don't think she was impressed. A little shocked even (we don't seem like the type?). But she's a professional, advises us of the physical risks, and answers our questions. We aren't ashamed of what we do. We feel that it's actually very moral and ethical. I couldn't care less about 'converting' our Dr. She doesn't need to agree with what we do. All we ask is that she accepts that this is our chosen lifestyle and helps to support us in a professional capacity.
