The Man Club Taboo List
I think we need to make a list of Manly no-no's that are taboo or make a real man uncomfortable. Please make one entry at a time and lets come to a con-census on whether nor not to add it to the taboo list. I'll start it out with a no-brain-er-----

Opera's

Thank You, Penndan!
I just came home from a very long work schedule and this made me smile. I decided to perform one last check-in before departing for rest and BAM!, you create this piece of brilliance.

My contribution to this list would be...

Musical Theatre.

That gay/lesbo thread in this club.
After reading the first few posts I had to bail out.

Well
Kneilca is now free to discuss moose, spotted owls and all the other exciting, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat topics he brings to Alt. Chess. I wait with baited breath for his follow-ups.

As far as the other fella, well, I'll be watching him on occasion, seeing if he was genuine about this 'Mano-a-Mano' request. I am more than willing to 'cross-club' with that peacock.

Physicals-------In my teen years--- getting those required hernia checks by a doctor to play any high school sport---cough----cough---

On my last physical, the doctor came in with a nurse and some young gal that was a new intern. They observed him give me my physical until the end. He always does the prostate check last. I'm sitting on the table and he asks me if I want the 2 girls to leave the room for the prostate exam that he didn't want to make me feel uncomfortable----I looked the girls square in the eye and said "Doctor, I don't think they need to stay."------Don't know if that was the manly thing to do or not----lol

I once
had an external hemorrhoid removed/lanced with a girl just a few years my senior as the assistant. I had panic attacks that I would wind up dating one of her friends or simply run-into her at some gathering, etc.

Bad times.

God, I just pray that I never have to get a catheter installed by some weird orderly----I'm sure our female counterparts run into some uncomfortable situations with the medical people---lol

It if weren't for the excruciating pain, I would have said something to this Dr... I was in such much pain and incredibly pissed-off, humiliated, disgraced, etc., all at once.

When I relayed what had happened to my older brother, his reaction only solidified my feeling of being mortified. He told me that I should consider moving or at the very least, "lay-low" for an extended period of time.

-I was thinking the same.

Anyway, to resume the topic, thus far we have 'Opera, Ballet and Man-Hugging' under man-taboo consideration.

actually, the candidate is "hugs" not just "man hugs"
as when nails become claws and teeth become fangs it ain't a hug I am thinking of

Medical Awkwardness
When I was pregnant with my first, child some 38 years ago, when my first husband was in the military, I had the pleasure of being asked by my OB Army doctor if a medical student could observe my pelvic exam since mine was the last of the morning and he needed to observe one for educational purposes. I was young....just 18 years old....painfully shy, always quiet. My mission in life was to lay low and melt into the walls of any room I was in and remain unnoticed. I really did not want to allow this medical student to observe me lying spread eagle in stirrups, but I didn't want to be the cause of this young student not becoming a doctor, so I just sort of nodded my consent and looked away. I will never forget this medical student's name....Warren. It is forever etched into my brain.

Anyway, there I was, lying there with my woman parts exposed. Warren was at my head and the doctor and the nurse were at....ahem....the other end. The doctor was talking up a storm pointing out everything that he thought Warren needed to know. I just lay there with a red face, looking up into Warren's eyes. He was trying his best to not make eye contact. I swear his face was redder than mine. The doctor finally looked up and noticed that Warren was not standing where he had a good view. So he said "Warren! You can't see this from way up there. Come down here and pay attention!" So, Warren got even redder and slowly made his way down towards the other end of the exam table.

At one point, the doctor decided he needed something he did not have and sent the nurse into the next room to get the item requested. She could not find it, so the doctor went into the next room to help. Warren realized that it was just he and I in the room alone (although the door to the next room was open and we could hear and see the doctor and the nurse as they searched for the much needed item. Warren started to make his way towards the door, sort of slinking away in an effort to escape this awkwardness. The doctor came walking back into the room and ran smack into Warren who was trying his best to leave. The doctor seemed annoyed and asked Warren where he was going.

Poor Warren. I have often wondered if he ever became a doctor.

OK mistee! We left you an opening and you came through! I can relate to poor Warren. I did not stay in the delivery room when my sons were born in '74 and '76. A couple of years ago when I inadvisedly walked into the delivery room of my adopted Daughter delivering my 1st grandchild, I turned right around and walked out. I couldn't believe how things have changed. The hospital had enough room for the whole family to watch the process if they wanted.

"I turned right around and walked out"

-I can totally understand this, Penndan.


"The hospital had enough room for the whole family to watch the process if they wanted."

-My brother witnessed the birth of each of his three daughters. I often wondered if I'd be interested in watching the emergence of a Baby Marmalade via the birth canal, if such a grand opportunity presented itself... (Here comes the pain.)

I did not even want to be in the delivery room

Robbie Williams was on the Graham Norton Show, he was talking about being present for the birth of his child. Emma Thompson asked was he at the business end - with a glum face he said he was, it was like watching his favourite pub burn down.

Taboo subject! Taboo subject! Taboo subject!
Shouldn't the last 10 posts be banned due to the taboo subject!!!!!!
Being at the birth of your child is wonderful and I wouldn't have missed it but I managed it twice with only one visit to the 'ahem....other end'.
"Can you see the babies head?" I was asked.
"Yes thanks", eyes tightly shut and walking quickly back to the nice end.
And the noise when they used scissors as they cut my wife. Thank God my second wife did not want children.
And the pain! Don't women know it hurts when they squeeze a man's fingers like that?
