It is certainly interesting

if not significant
that the commonest cancers are those
affecting the reproductive organs
of men and wœmen.
One of the few advantages of being queer
is that you can quite easily get some
not-unattractive chap to feel your testicles,
balls, goolies, nuts, goonies,
couilles, eier, cojones -
and even more pleasantly your prostate -
so that you can catch the cancer deliciously early.

Auban--you have a way of stepping out of the box and surprising your readers who have come to rely on your inveterate cynicism. Yes, it is not easy to track your many changes of mind and tone, idea and opinion, you initiate. You as a gay man do not practice or enjoy anal sex, but you do enjoy (as "an advantage") your ass fingered by a good-looking heterosexual doctor who feels your prostate? As someone who has an irregular PSA (now a controversial and much criticized test in the US, which besides prostate enlargement is the only early sign of possible prostate cancer--likewise enlargement is also not a reliable indicator), I do not find my yearly rectal fingering sexual, given my fear of the doctor's response. I hazard to say that in your case it is the absence of fear as well as your sexual preference that enable the doctor's exam to be sexual. In a similar vein, the doctor's knuckle at each testicle to test for a hernia and the patient's coughing are not pleasurable in the least unless one is an exhibitionist.
