So I was studying the male reproductive system at school today,
examining diagrams, memorizing terms, thinking "oh god, what's that? I've never noticed that before..." when I realized I was gritting my teeth and feeling slightly nauseated. That's when it hit me: I've got issues. Here's my question: how do I overcome my issues? Any suggestions? :evilgrin:

Mein Gott! Now I have not only issues, but pathologies...

2. Being aware that you have "issues" is the first step.
Edited on Thu Nov-16-06 07:46 PM by 1monster
The next step is figuring out WHY you have issues. Then you can start to deal with them...

On edit: Now that I've seen post #1, I now have issues too! :(

5. I know exactly why I have issues!
The penis, as it turns out, is evil. Or at least the fellow who claims to like me, and to whom the organ is attached, is evil.
:inappropriate smiley: There I go, gritting my teeth again.

7. Who doesn't have issues? Think of it this way:
this stuff was never meant to be studied and be sexy at the same time. When it's sexy time, just forget what you studied. The second you think about it medically it gets, well, blah.

That's the secret to lingerie.

8. I have issues about lingerie too.
When I was a lovely young thing I decided to thrill my boyfriend with something in silk. When he caught sight of me, he called me "the polyester queen." I've never quite recovered. And no, he wasn't a good guy.

That, I believe, was his excuse for being an asshole.

10. Now when it is a guy saying....
"oh god, what's that? I've never noticed that before..."

Then that is when you have issues.

23. If You Are Dissecting
I'm damned glad you are ruined!:hurts:

But cadavers work (well they don't really work, but parts is parts, right?

So is dissecting the "next unit", the next unit? (I'd hate to be told I was the next unit)

Tutoring might help, but put away the knives (unless you are just into that thing not for dissecting)

:evilgrin:

And they're a peculiar color & texture. No, I don't want to do any dissecting today.

24. Maybe
You could hum the "I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner" song to yourself? Or try the "My Bologna has a first name (fill in the blank)...for instance, "My Bologna has a first name it's C.O.W.P.E.R.S., My Bologna has a second name it's G.L.A.N.D. You might skip the "I want to eat it everyday part.

A song always makes things better!

The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth... and kill!

56. A dissection scalpel won't do the trick
I'm thinking a microtome and a stereo microscope. Maybe even one of those video microsurgery units that neurosurgeons use.

but what you're describing sounds altogether too neat and tidy for what I have in mind.
