Or maybe it was chlamydia.
One of those special gifts that keeps on giving.
Either way, it was "Down the hatch."
The symptoms were the same. How could something that felt so good cause so much 'discomfort'?"
Two kids, not even old enough to drive, were hanging out.
Will's turn came years later. For him, it was more of a burning sensation. A lot like fire.
Then a lot like a lot of fire. Nothing quite as painful as he'd ever experienced 'down there'.
His visit to the doctor was fairly straight forward. He went in. The nurse asked a few questions, wrote stuff down on the clipboard and then stepped out.
A few minutes later, a doctor came in along with his young intern. The intern, she had her hair pulled back. Intelligent looking, kind of beautiful, but also focused on what the physician was saying. He was explaining the procedure.
Everything was done matter-of-factly. The patient was even warned:
Apparently, there's some relatively newer stuff floating around Japan. A super bug of sorts. Not really 'news' in the sense that the story has been out for more than a year. Still, it's something I wonder about.

"Wait. What do you mean, 'down the hatch'?!"
"Just be still. This will cause a bit of discomfort. If you back away, we'll have to take another sample."
"I...Jesus!....that, really...."
"Almost...just another turn...okay. All done."

"Dude. You should always wear protection. You never wanna' catch anything."
"What are you talking about?"
"You ever piss razor blades? 'Cause that's what it feels like."
"What happened?"
"You know Deena?"
"You mean...?"
"Yep. Deena the Dyke?"
"No...you didn't?!"
"No. Not me. This time, it was Johnny. He was all freaked out. Called and said when he went to take a leak that it felt like someone was pulling barbed-wire out of his dick."
"That's too funny."
"It wasn't when she gave it to me. I went to the doctor and they did a test. Took out this thing that looked like Q-Tip and..." (it starts up top, just after "Down the Hatch")

When the doctor was finished, he looked to his intern and reassured her, "You have to be prepared to tell them not to back away or you'll have to start over."
Later, when Will was listening to the diagnosis, he asked the doctor about what he had said to the intern.
"Usually guys are up against the wall and we have to start over again. Yours is the first case where I didn't get any response."
"Oh?"

Apparently, there's some relatively newer stuff floating around Japan. A super bug of sorts. Not really 'news' in the sense that the story has been out for more than a year. Still, it's something I wonder about.
When I told people about it afterwards, they always said the same thing: 'I didn't know you could get gonorrhea from a blow job.' Yeah, no shit. Neither did I. You learn all kinds of stuff when you go to a happening club.
There are a lot of preventative measures that aren't taken here.
And the treatment is sometimes virtually ineffective.
Now, here's a song...just for its title.
Whatever...
