Routine colonoscopy after hitting middle age

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

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 7 months ago

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

Can confirm, am someone who hates (gets anxiety thinking about) talking on the phone

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