Research tells me he's probably impotent. Always good to keep that in mind.
Too. Much. Information!!!
Poor fellow though! Probably not getting any sleep.If he brings it up again maybe tell him to see a urologist.
Ick. Ickickick.
Yeah, one of my colleagues told someone on a job interview that he used to be an alcoholic. So. Not. Appropriate.
Oh my. I just put my fingers in my ears and sing la la la la... which is better than having my fingers anywhere else suggested by the conversation!
yeah, actually I know an academic with prostate cancer who let everyone know that he would be missing days due to aggressive chemo. It was a chatty, positive email and very thoughtful to let people know that he would be a bit unreliable. Maybe a bit different to your prostate issue.
Beej, I think that's totally different from someone just randomly mentioning that they have to pee a lot and complaining about what a rectal exam is like.
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
