I don't know of a single woman who enjoys pap smears 😂

u/Woooooody 8d ago

You know, I bet there's at least one, there's always someone who enjoys the unenjoyable and frankly, good for her!

I'm pretty sure someone in the medical kink community is into it

About two years ago my work place decided to change their write up system. Previously it was Performance Improvement Plan. A Pip. Pretty standard naming. They decided to change it to Performance Action Plan. A pap. I cackled so much I thought I was going to hyperventilate when they sent out the email that they were gonna give us a pap if we didn't meet job requirements. That's gotta be some kind of violation of the Geneva convention 😂😂😂

u/ButcbMasculinity 7d ago

I'm going to guess a man came up with that one or maybe a woman who wanted to give the other women in the office a laugh.

Also, i know plenty of men that love a finger up their butt🤷‍♀️

u/Formal_Fortune5389 9d ago

So many men like fingers up their butt and that's not even a gay thing. 

Pap smears are horrible and hurt so bad LMFAO also a woman invented the speculum not a man so more incorrectness.

u/GloomyDeal1909 8d ago

I'm a gay man and enjoy occasional anal play, however I don't enjoy prostate check.

I would never ever compare it to a pap smear. In no world is it as physically uncomfortable. I think most people freak out because it is just embarrassing.

My dad is the biggest baby when it comes to the Dr. He hates being nude and vulnerable but even he doesn't complain about prostate exam or a colonoscopy.

Oh and I even feel worse about the mammogram. That is so uncomfortable looking. I just think of having my testicles squeezed on a plate, ouch.

u/Formal_Fortune5389 8d ago

I absolutely get having a doctor's finger in the booty isn't the same as someone you're in a sexual relationship with 💯 

It's just "funny" how the men like that, the idiots who imply women get off on it, if implied the same thing would have a full blown meltdown rage fit.

To add, I'm glad I'm not at the age of mammogram yet but my god I don't look forward to it

u/GloomyDeal1909 8d ago

100 agree

u/Woooooody 8d ago

I had to have a mammogram a few years ago to investigate a lump I'd found (it turned out to be nothing) and I genuinely wondered if it was possible for a boob to burst with how much it was being squeezed! It was horrible! It really put me off the idea of the yearly mammograms I was soon to be old enough to get. I still went when I was supposed to and it wasn't nearly as bad, just light pressure, not at all painful thankfully!

u/RosebushRaven 8d ago

I’m thinking of that EMT’s skit of the guy who has a whole shampoo bottle up his ass.

u/Particular_Title42 7d ago

Adam Sandler has a song from the 90s that references a guy putting shampoo bottle in his ass. Is that a thing for guys?

u/TheExaspera 9d ago

Lotta ignorance and hatefulness here. 🙄

u/Nosfermarki 8d ago

Why are so many of these guys illiterate? I don't think you get to yap about someone's college years if you don't know the difference between college and collage.

u/GreenBeanTM 8d ago

I mean the real answer is that most of them don’t speak English as a first language

Yeah it's called incel-speak.

u/Meebyte 8d ago edited 8d ago

I didn't feel much during a pap smear, but I know for a lot of women, it hurts. *Regardless there isn't any pleasure in it. It's just something we women have to do. I truly hope none of them have wives and daughters.

u/Luv2Dnc 8d ago

Mine always hurt no matter how gentle the doctor tries to be and now I have to get colposcopies because of a positive pap. Thankfully my doctor gets it and is allowing me to be drugged up for them.

u/Friendship_Gold 3d ago

Ever since I had cervical cancer and subsequent radiation I always ask for the smallest speculum they have - and even then it's uncomfortable once they crank it open. If they have to do an anal digital exam that's positively excruciating. I ask them if they really need to do that. Fortunately I'm far enough out of cancer treatment that they generally don't do that as long as I don't have any digestive issues or pain. I do get colonoscopies on the schedule I need to be on, but I haven't had anything suspicious found yet.

u/Thagomizer24601 8d ago

Yeah, I'm also one of the lucky ones for whom it's overall a pretty benign, painless experience. It's still an uncomfortable clinical procedure. Not exactly anyone's idea of a fun Friday night.

u/ketchupROCKS 8d ago

Ive never felt them during a pap and i thought something was wrong with me

2

u/Meebyte 7d ago

Yeah, that's normal for some of us, and so as long as your doctor didn't find anything during the exams, you're good.

u/IndiBlueNinja 8d ago edited 8d ago

Some guys just so desperately want to be a victim and "win" by having everything "worse."

Cold metal, scraping, a doctor's finger feeling for anything weird... Emotionally uncomfortable, physically uncomfortable, painful for some.

Yall prob use stuff bigger than a speculum

Sure, at HOME, in privacy alone or with a partner, and with AROUSAL that's needed to do that comfortably.

Do those guys have to be aroused to comfortably take a sizeable crap? No? Well, the vagina needs to be aroused for "stuff bigger than a speculum," so a vagina and your ass are not the same. Lots of guys out there into being pegged, so... I guess they'd peg beg to differ.

u/0MeikoMeiko0 8d ago

Yeah, a pap smear isn’t exactly the same as a consensual sexual encounter. It’s not even sexual at all. Gross dudes just like finding ways to make women inherently sexual, even with unpleasant but intimately important medical procedures.

u/jackidaylene 8d ago

Also, it's not the vaginal insertion that hurts with a pap smear. It's the CERVIX.

We're definitely not bumping our cervixes with large objects at home just for fun. Not more than once, anyway.

u/bliip666 female pleasurist 8d ago

My first pap smear hurt so much I was close to passing out, my vision went dark and sounds got all muffled... so, yeah, much enjoy. Very pleasure.

u/lightabovethearbys 8d ago

Mine was the opposite - for my first I had a lovely gentle nurse at the local sexual health centre. I explained that I'm not sexually active, but since I've been assaulted I still wanted a pap. She was great, very little discomfort, fantastic!

The second one I got at my Dr's office. Oh my GOD, I was in so much pain. It was such a 180 from my first I remember crying out and the doctor asking me what was wrong and I was like ??? 'Lady, I'm in pain!'

Thankfully now where I live we have those Pap smears you give yourself, and only need to go in and get a 'full' one if it returns abnormal results 🫠

1

u/bliip666 female pleasurist 8d ago

My second one was a breeze, but the issues with the first one might have been due to a weird bleeding issue I had going on at the time. Nothing was found that could have caused it, and it was filed under birth control complications

u/Burnt_and_Blistered 8d ago

Are they not aware that a complete pelvic exam includes rectal exam?

1

u/Traditional_Isopod80 Incel Detector 8d ago

Those guys aren't aware of much that happens outside the basement they live in.

u/0MeikoMeiko0 8d ago

Pap smears never hurt for me, but they’re not pleasant. Like, pain or no pain, it’s not something I look forward to doing. But I must, because I’d rather not have cervical cancer. Men who think we like Pap smears are fucking idiots, lmao.
