it's a curly one. as a complementary therapist, i chat to both men and women about their health problems, in the treatment room. it's not something i'd bring up in general conversation, no do i think a man would be willing to chat about his prostate if he wasn't seeing me on a professional level, KWIM?

but i agree, women's particular health issues do seem to be squirm-worthy for men. my ex-H could never talk to me about it, admittedly he was an older generation, but DF and i can talk about a lot, probably because of all we've been through this last year. he'll still dry-retch at the sight of my period blood if we're in the shower together, but i think that's more his weak stomach, lol.

i'm going to think about this more and get back to you.
