36. I said "I find it slightly creepy". Notice I did not call anyone a creep.

The guy upthread added words to my statement, which is ingenuous and in poor form for a message board. Pay no attention to his interpretation.

To your question: Yes, I would also question why a woman would want to zero in on the medical aspects of a man's private parts! What motivated her to pick that particular specialty?

As long as they are good at what they do, then of course that's what matters the most.

Why is a trivial question, but I really would like to know! Of course they don't have to answer, but I can't help wondering.
