      And my smear test suggestion is heavily conditioned by my profession. I am specializing in primary care medicine and smear tests are part of my job and i actually find them challenging as you need skills to relax the woman and then find the cervix and then make the bimanual palpation - all if she agrees with every procedure. They are hugely important for woman's health and although unconfortable it is not really an agressive thing if done with care. Btw, i hope all women the best with their health and dont forget about your regular screenings as uncomfortable as they maybe.
      I actually did feel somewhat uncomfortable about the pap smear task, just because it already takes a lot of convincing for some people to feel like the procedure is non-sexual (eg. my friends were shocked when I told them that I have mine done by a male doctor.) The task kinda makes it sound like you're saying, "Well, now that I've been inside of you, let me take you on a date."

      But hey, the weird/gory TotMs are sometimes the most popular! I guess we'll find out at the voting booth...

      my totm suggestion was actually a joke about that vague belief or suspition that some women have, which only makes my task a little bit more difficult. Trust me it is not pleasant to perform smear tests, i would be happy if no patient required that. There are also many perverts of course, and although it is sad, we can also joke about that. In fact, joking is a very good coping mechanism

      Edit: most doctors dont like to perform smear tests, gynecologic examinations. You find all kinds of unpleasant odors and is also somewhat embarrasing for a doctor, specially if the patient is embarrased, but that's something we learn to do with professionalism, and according to the unique personality of the patient.

      That said, i think my totm suggestion was perhaps a subconscious attempt to deal in a more relaxed and funny way with something that every complete doctor should know how to do - a smear test. I apologize if it seemed rude or misogyny. I wouldnt really waste a lucid doing that, i have enough in waking life lol

      Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way

      That makes sense, humour is a great way to manage discomfort! I didn't know your occupation before so I didn't detect the irony at the time.
      I wasn't offended or anything btw, I was just saying that I could see where Ctharlhie was coming from with the previous comment.

      EDIT: Oh, and I thought the depilate suggestion was pretty funny! Xanous dared me to shave off my own hair while lucid, so I did that a while ago.
