Routine colonoscopy after hitting middle age

Tbh I think we all kinda suck at routine doctors appointments. Speaking as a woman

It just feels inconvenient to make time for it nowadays and it always gets delayed

no problem, if you're that worried about a routine colonoscopy turning you gay, congrats! you're definitely into cock!

Wait THAT'S why people neglect their appointments? I thought it was just laziness and neglect!
