Get It Checked

So, May was Masturbation Month and, in honor of Joycelynn Elders, we cleaned out the pipes really well. Many don't realize it - or perhaps they're unwilling to acknowledge it - but jacking off is a health issue. I've had more than one of my doctors tell me that and instruct me to supplement any other sexual activity with a couple of good wanks a week. I've listened and haven't regretted it at all.

Now, June is Men's Health Month. Though not every post will focus on the health issues of our man-bits, the month will be dedicated to just that: Ensuring cock, man-berries, and buzz-button (that's the prostate, or Male G-Spot) all stay in good working order.

So, if you haven't had one recently, this is the month to schedule that annual physical. Get the cock fully inspected. Get the balls carefully checked out. Get that probing prostate DRE and a PSA test. Get those pecs examined. Then, for a grand finale, have him look you over from top to bottom (scalp to toes), front to back (dick to ass-crack).

If you pop a boner - don't worry. Oddly, this appears to be the number one reason men avoid these types of physical exams; they're too embarrassed to talk to a doctor about 'those things,' too afraid they'll sprout wood while the bits are being touched. It's not a regular happening, but it's not totally unheard of either; if it happens, they aren't offended or surprised. Take it from a guy who knows: That medical professional has seen a boner before. Plus, if he or she is any kind of doctor, you'll be pointedly asked if you're having any trouble...

taking a piss, 

getting your dick to stand up good and hard,

and if your ejaculations are strong and satisfactory.

Because those things are overall health indicators for us; our dicks are our Health Barometer.
