Routine colonoscopy after hitting middle age

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Tbh I think we all kinda suck at routine doctors appointments. Speaking as a woman

It just feels inconvenient to make time for it nowadays and it always gets delayed

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Right, but there is a difference between me being a lazy antisocial person who hates talking on the phone to make an appointment, and being afraid to make an appointment because I'm worried I might like the feeling of something long and firm going in my ass.

no problem, if you're that worried about a routine colonoscopy turning you gay, congrats! you're definitely into cock!

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait THAT'S why people neglect their appointments? I thought it was just laziness and neglect!

I fear colonoscopies not because of toxic masculinity, but, because I don't think it would be very comfortable
