The Big Man 6957 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Lately I've been freaking out that I've been using my mobile phone too much. I use it for work a lot, posting on JWfan, etc. But I'm becoming concerned that all these radioactive microwaves are penetrating my head and I'll get brain cancer as a result. And I keep my phone in my pocket a lot, and those microwaves are probably making me sterile too. Not that I want kids or anything, but it's important to a man's sense of self masculinity to be locked and loaded. Anyhoo, ever think you'll get very sick even though you probably won't?

Didn't health class teach that you need an erection to ejaculate to knock up a woman? You don't have anything to worry about. Link to post Share on other sites

Naïve Old Fart 4625 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 There's something called "blue light" in all TVs, terminals, i-pads, cellulars, etc, that act as a double espresso on the brain. I always recommend to my clients to stop using such devices 1 hr before they go to bed. Can they cause impotence? Stop using you mobile for one month, and then try to knock someone up. You'll have your answer. Otherwise, wear a condom, and be grateful that you are not responsible for brining yet another human being into this fucked-up world Link to post Share on other sites

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10237 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I did that after I got my diagnosis and stopped doing that very very quickly.

Disco Stu 10310 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I started having issues with anxiety when my daughter was born (stress of responsibility), including recurring chest pain. Took 2 perfect EKGs before I was convinced I didn't have heart disease. Anyway, the solution for me turned out to be exercise. Trips to the gym are great for de-stressing.

The Big Man 6957 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think as soon as I hit 30, I became unhealthily fixated on my own mortality and the thought of not wanting to die or become afflicted with anything that would reduce my quality of life. I can already feel the pain in my knees. Maybe I need to exercise more? I'm already quite skinny, and I pride myself in bragging to my fat friends that I've never been to the gym.

The Big Man 6957 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Anyone else ever taken their blood pressure? My mum's a registered nurse, so she's taught me how to do it. My blood pressure is weird. Sometimes it's 125/85. Other times when I'm slightly tense, it's either 140/90 or 130/90. I've been trying to keep it down by working out and jogging. Hopefully that does the trick. I don't want to become a vegetable from a stroke. Link to post Share on other sites
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 5992 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I don't have this problem. However, I'm having a serious issue lately when I go out into public with people approaching me about my hair. Tonight, this guy at the mall just would not stop going on about my hair and how envious he was of it. What the fuck? I agree that my hair is amazing, but I just cannot stand being complimented. It keeps happening. "Is that your natural texture?"; "What do you put in it?"; "How long have you been growing it?"; "Want my number?" No! I just want to be left alone to my business and go home and watch Star Trek. Christ! The Big Man 1 Link to post Share on other sites
