If thats the worst I have to go through to be around to see my kids grow up I'll be very thankful.

Fair point!

I'll make sure to choose a female doctor though! LOL!

Supossedly having a "tug" (masturbate) will assist in preventing Prostate cancer, at least thats what I read/Heard.

I am not too far from going to the GP and getting the finger in the Butt...

I cant imagine it would be that bad..... well not as bad as Prostrate Cancer, , and I an the biggest HOMOPHOBE out there...

From the doc's point of view, , he probably does this 20 times a month, , so its probably routine to him, no big deal.

Some findings have found that masturbation may have an effect in prostate cancer protection. But like all studies, it's only a theory and not a rule.

Just because you jack off like a dynamo, in no way makes you safe.

Only way is to go to the clinic, have the finger done and an endoscopy (look for polyps) and only when you have the all-clear from experts can you be sure.

Ahoy!

Good to see you guys are aware and take it seriously. There are so many campaigns/ads etc for female problems, I sometimes forget males have any problems at all!

A really close family friend has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Despite all the health problems that have put him in a nursing home at 76 this one hit us hard. Still finding out about all that will be involved. Hoping he will be around to make fun of us for quite sometime.

As for the female doctor wishes, just hope she doesnt have acrylic nails!

Is screening for prostate cancer freely available to those within the at-risk bracket? If not, it bloody well should be - I mean it is with breast cancer, right?

Was it Robin Williams who said on stage that after the first time your nervous as but after a few years you start sending the Dr flowers, etc

I've had mine checked 2-3 times, don't think I went to the toilet for a week after the first time. Is always reassuring knowing that its healthy, and its a minor discomfort.
