Eric - I was going to say "P'raps it's to check that their brains haven't dropped" - then read your post!
In all seriousness - I don't think this procedure can be half as embarrassing or uncomfortable, than a women having her breasts squashed between two freezing cold plates for an x-ray! I'd much rather cough!

MrBen - most men have one testicle larger/smaller than the other - the same as most women's breasts.
It's quite common with feet too.
Having said that, anyone with any medical concerns regarding testicles or breasts should see their Doc or Practice Nurse in the first instance.
I say this, as I have had two friends who found lumps in their breasts but were too afraid to go to the Doc's -unfortunately for them & their families, they had left it too late.
My other friend had a lump checked in the very early stages & after many months of treatment (also losing her hair), she is fine & now back to work. Thank God.

Eric I knew someone that tried by putting his legs under a radiator to help him sit up but he couldnt reach. As for the question had a girly night round mine at weekend and my mate just came out with it, if you thought I was weird you dont want to know what goes on in her head. And smudge surely the smear is alot worse than the breast examination
