Ahhh.. but my, what a lovely birdie

In all the red blooded, chest thumping, muscle-bound, sweaty institution that is the Singapore Armed Forces, it can be rather squeamish about homosexuality. A person, apparently, would not need to serve (or serve in a limited fashion, ie. away from the boys) in National Service if one should feel inclined to declare oneself a homosexual. The thought comes to mind, that an actually homosexual would actually want to shower in bath stalls that have no way of protecting the modesty of the people using them and participate in all the sweaty camaraderie that comes with the territory of NS. It is a little bit of a catch-22, isn’t it?

In any case, I want to talk about a more specific matter. It is this, for what purpose does the checking of a person’s genitalia serve to prove that one is fit to serve the country?



Hard to find any picture that is both inoffensive and relevant so here’s a flower instead.

Back in primary school, a dick check could be rationalised by the reason of prudence. At that age, at the cusp of puberty, many wee lads knew not much about their … wee, and considering how parents no longer had to assist in manual positioning of the wee for peeing, the lore of the crotch would be known to only a callow boy. As such a dick check to make sure all is well is quite justifiable.

But what of these men? Men that the country has to depend on at its time of need, men expected to handle complex weaponry, and keep their heads amid the tumult and chaos of war? Surely of such men one would think that they would at least know what is going on with their penises(peni?)

One would hope to think that men would have the mental facility to determine if their wangs were in working condition. Surely one should always perform regular checks as to its functionality, once a fortnight at the least.

Coming back again to phallus testing, what invaluable information can be gained from a nurse fingering your tackle?
A check for homosexuality? Doubtful, there are more accurate and less invasive technologies for that such as the gaydar.
More probable is that this is the main source of statistical data condom makers like to publish every once in a while.
Also likely is the ever present threat of a deadly penile fungal epidemic. Known to be prevalent in male teenagers due to their lower standards of hygiene, particularly in males that do not practice manscaping the discovery of such fungi is usually at the later stages of infection.

If left unchecked penile fungal infection could easily spread in a self contained environment such as an army camp, where men are forced into close contact for sustained periods of time, more than likely sticky with sweat.

An epidemic would cripple any hopes of an effective defense against any enemy, any infected would have to be subjected to a excruciatingly painful process of penile scrubbing to remove all traces of the fungus, and would take more than one session because the prick would need to heal.

That’s not the worst of it, in severe cases where infection has spread upwards of the shaft, a total amputation would be necessary. And a dickless army would do no good at all.

So I guess a poke in the balls, would not be entirely gratuitous. But it still brings questions about the psychology of a person whose job it is to fondle cocks.

It didn't save mine, but it was still a pretty enjoyable experience.
