A question I was asked shopping today by a lovely lady?
The idea is to raise awareness of testicular cancer and how important it is to be aware. Much like breast cancer it is a case of feeling for any unusual lumps or swellings and NOT to panic but to check. Early detection is often easily fixed, but leaving it can be fatal. She also said it was fun to ask your partner to check as well, and to swap roles to make it fun whilst being practical.
So if you have fun tonight, or in the next few days, get some feeling done...?

and if you want a good read go out and get "its not about the bike" by Lance Armstrong, if you didnt know he had testicular cancer, came very close to losing his life, then went on to win the TDF , great read btw , didnt mean to hijak an excellent post but its sucha good book and it is linked

not wanting to spoil the book but Armstrong allowed his to swell to the size of an orange before he did anything, came within days of his life being over due to being used to ignoring swellings down there due to his cycling, i cant keep my hands off mine , any excuse ;-)

And that's why, even though the subject has been has been done before, it's okay to bring it up again. And again. And again.
Funny really; we have just mentioned this this afternoon.
I check mine nearly every night. One way or another.
Apparently men who have had the snip are more at risk. The doctor told me that. Only after he'd tried to pull my f**king teeth out via my stomach.

Shave 'em and then when you put the talcum powder on each morning you can have a feel :lol:

Is that how to stop them sticking to your leg???
(From Dambuster - newly shaved and not liking it v much)
oh if only the ladies knew how much we suffer for em eh? even worse a few days later when ya thighs red raw. toss up whether that's worse than shaving on a daily basis tho! :lol:
one thing that's always made me wonder about our NHS etc, is why is there so much emphasis on well-woman clinics and regular screening of breasts and cervix etc, and sooooooo little investment in screening/educating men. testicular/prostate cancer every bit as prevalent. is it just we men like to imagine ourselves invincible and wouldnt't use 'em anyways? i for one was well into my 30s before i even really heard of testicular cancer and self-exams etc. and even now it's a rare afterthought to actually check em.

Yup! Mind you it's bad enough when the left one sticks to the left leg and the right one sticks to your right leg but if the right one sticks to your left leg and the left takes a liking to your right leg then boy you're in trouble. People think you've received some bad news and you've come over all emotional!!!

it can be worse when they stick to your partners leg and you dont notice while changing from the missionary to doggy style

The reason for this is that men have much more complicated and sensitive tackle - listen to a woman and they'll tell you that's bollox but I'm sure it's true. I went along for a prostate cancer screening study (giving the age away there) and by the time the nurse had explained to me what I might have to put up with I was flat out on the floor - she was talking about sticking needles up me bum to perforate my bowel FFS!! I won't go on but the memory has made me come over all queasy like...!!!

thats where im going wrong
Some time ago I approached my doctor on this very issue. My doctor being a large motherly women of about 55 and I was 30 (ish), I'd noticed a bit of blood in my cum & remember being quite perturbed! I had a a jolly good feel round the old testicles and mentioned the odd colour to my doctor. She examined me and while I had my trousers down slipped on a rubber glove and carried ot a prostrate examination!!! Wow. Pleased to say she stated all apeared well and that occassionally one may get a bit of blood mixed in with the fluid...especially if the testicles have had a rough time of it (which I hasten to add...mine hadn't).
Didn't feel embarrassed in the least, a great doctor, one of the best...

yep! seems a good place to talk about sexual health in general here, so why not. in all seriousness, i've had the HIV, hep a/b/c the lot. any test they do for whatever disease is nowt. blood test, urine sample, bit of a swab, all done 'n' dusted. even if you're sure you've been careful, it's always a sweat waiting for the results, and such a relief to get the all clear. bout time i had another lot done really, but even knowing that it's still a trial! ;-)

We were told the same thing when Jon had the snip many years ago. At that time it was said a vasectomy would increase your chances of getting testicular cancer by up to 85% 10 years after the op.
However 17 years later Jon is still healthy and just to make sure, I check it for him every night. Easiest way to do it on such a delicate area is with my tongue and lips :twisted:

I'm assuming, Neil, you mean the tests - not the diseases. :shock:
:gagged: Seiously though, I said elsewhere - Catching a dose is not as bad as passing on a dose.
I spent some time as a doctors driver some years ago. The stories he told me would make your hair curl !!!!
It always used to make me laugh on sick parade when the guys would say "Got a cold, sir" When clearly they hadn't.
Me; like a tw*t would say "Cock's dribbling" That was before I heard the phrase pre-cum

i think everyone here is spot on... i have had all the tests as well, but only after one of my friends was unfortunate to have prostate cancel... lucky enough he caught it in the very early stages.. but i think it very much did scare us all... so we all now go for hep tests and hiv test together... we are lucky where our doctor has a special surgery for "mens health" issues....

just a thought seeing as you mentioned your doctor, i originally mentioned using the gu med, clap, clinic due tothe anonimity for hiv hep tests, my doctor shame on him wasnt aware that if tests prove negative they do not have to be divulged to life assurance companies, he would have told them had they asked, its only been the last couple of years that i believe this has changed, where as at gu med centres its as anonimous as you want it to be.

nope! i mean yes!and yeah choosing to expose youself being careless is one thing. exposing someone else is the reason i keep getting tested. even if i know theres not much chance! ;-) still wanna know i couldn't be responsible for anyone else.

Just to make you smile. When I was 16, during my medical; the examining doctor told me (naked at the time) to bend over the back of a chair. At the precise moment that I felt his finger (I hope) enter me, I heard the question - "Have you ever had any homosexual tendancies?"
Can you imagine what went through my mind??
