There's almost always an erotic element in how guys relate to other guys' bodies­ even in putatively nonsexual situations, like at the doctor's. From getting erections during school physicals to the ambivalent­ or maybe not so ambivalent­ feelings involved in spreading ass cheeks wide for a rectal probe, going to the doctor always provokes some of the same responses also touched upon in sex. How do doctors and nurses­ gay or otherwise­ respond to the erotics of the undressing, the prodding, the probing­ and sometimes the lancing and cutting­ of medical situations? How, in turn, do patients feel and respond? Have you ever fantasized about a medical context? Do you prefer a doctor of the same or opposite sex? The Guide is eager to talk to people who have desires or experience at the intersection of desire and medicine.
