    Have we seen any studies saying men shouldn't bother having their prostates looked at during their annual check-ups?

    Have we seen any that say men shouldn't bother doing their self exams for testicular cancer, because they are too fragile to touch themselves and it would stress them out?

    ETA: Because of family history of breast cancer and personal history of cancer, I've been getting mammos every year since I was 35. They are about as comfy as lying face-down on a hardwood floor, but not nearly as painful as all the excisions I had for cancer here, there, and everywhere. (I like my cancer fresh and little and REMOVED.) I get more radiation from my monthly flights to San Francisco than I do from my annual mammo, and even more if I have a whiskey and coke during the flight. (did you know a fifth of whiskey emits 400 beta rays per minute?)

    I may glow in the dark, and I may have some entertainingly cheloided excision scars; but dammit I'm not dead yet (Knottedyet, get it?) and I'm going for the gusto!
