ASKs: Sexual Health

HAs anyone ever had/ heard of my problem?

A few weeks ago (I think) during foreplay my spouse asked if a bump he felt with his fingers was painful. I didn't feel a thing and didn't think much of it. Last week after we had sex I felt a little sore but wasn't sure if it was from sex or maybe I had cut myself while shaving. and since I'm over weight checking "down there" isn't a task I usually find time for. (getting out the mirror, bending every which way!) so I chalked it up to sex. On saturday while showering I finally felt this bump... it's a small HARD lump right on the left "flap".

I tend to think our society is entirely oversexed, but when I found this story, I needed to share.

The interesting revelation here is that there are actual people out there asking asking intelligent questions and looking for interesting answers related to sex. (Anything to escape the tired bump-and-grind, supercheese sexual images we're used to, right?) In fact, some of the information is downright quirky.
