Do you worry much about the risks of birth control hormones? I've never used the pill and avoided it because I don't want to change my hormone levels and increase certain cancer risks. Here's a quote about oral contraceptives (OCs) and cancer: Quote:

Here are some of my thoughts on gynecological adventures, Tumor (still have to look up that religious anti-lust book). I don't know which would be worse...having a gynecological exam, or (for men) having some doctor or nurse stick her/his fingers up the rectum to feel the prostate. In both cases, holding in a burrito fart would probably be uncomfortable! I wonder...do you think men like having a prostate exam? The feeling I get is that they feel it is kind of humiliating. I don't like the part of the gynecological exam where the midwife/doctor does the PAP smear test by taking a cervix sample: it causes a little sting. Also, having a metal speculum up one isn't pleasurable, though it doesn't hurt. I appreciate it when the midwife warms up the speculum first! Whenever I have a PAP smear, I ask the medical professional if causing a small cervix wound, leading to cell division to fix the wound, increases the chance of cervical cancer. Apparently it doesn't. I don't know, though, why they bother checking for cervical cancer, since if I don't have the virus that increases cervical cancer risk (and I don't), then the risk is very low! The part of the gynecological exam I dislike the most is putting your feet on the stirrups. It kind of gives me a helpless feeling, like I'm not in control...the stirrups are. I don't like that helpless feeling. I had one midwife, though, who I think understood that, because she put little sock puppets over the stirrups you rest your feet on. That was funny! And soft.

Nah I'm not too worried about it, I got put on birth control because I had really long periods, like for a whole month one time and it was awful, so I finally got up the courage to ask my mother to take me in to be put on it. What really pisses me off is how close minded she was about it! Jeez mom, you'd rather I be pregnant? ffs. The pill doesn't have any effect on my sexual desire, but one of the symptoms of my mental illness is hypersexuality :P so that may have something to do with it not changing

However, I think eventually women figured out...hey...wait a minute...why isn't there a MALE oral contraceptive pill?! Why do we have to mess with *our* hormones? Also, the Pill does nothing to protect from sexually transmitted diseases, so it isn't all that great. You've really got to have the man use a condom for safety. Quote:
I actually think one was a woman and one was a man, so probably not Ernie and Bert. They had string hair and noses that were a little lumpy under my heels. That was the only drawback.

That is seriously one of the funniest mental images ever. I'm trying to imagine how something that entertaining could be worked into a prostate exam as well, but all I can picture is a latex glove colored to look like a turkey, sort of like those drawings you do in kindergarten. |

Seeing a man getting a latex gloved finger colored to look like a turkey stuck up his rump would certainly get a chuckle out of me! I know if *I* had a prostate and needed a prostate exam, *I'd* appreciate the humor of a turkey finger. Maybe they could give you a choice of latex finger "puppets" you'd like to have give you the exam! That would certainly make prostate exams more interesting, wouldn't it?
