WELL, WOULD YOU???

Published

A while ago, a group of Italian doctors and nurses stripped down to their skivvies for a calendar in order to raise funds for, and generate public awareness of, the need for cancer research.

No Brad Pitts or George Clooney types. Just a lot of overly tight tighty whities and expanded bellies drooping precariously over boxer short elastic waists. The best picture from the article (Cancer Research in Boxers: Italian Doctors Strip to Reveal Funding Shortfalls - SPIEGEL ONLINE) is the two doctors studiously examining an MRI, while clad in their unmentionables. The nurses appear in the pictorials as well but their faces are not shown - just their backs as they sit in their bras and panties.

So the question is: Would you have appeared in the calendar for such a worthy cause? I'm sure our patients subscribe to the old adage," Turnabout is fair play."

Well, would you???

Would *I*? No one, and I mean NO ONE, would want to see that. So, no. Might do the cause more harm than good.

I think they'd pay more to see me keep my clothing on.

I think people just like to get naked (or close) and they'll use any excuse in the world to do it. It's become so common that I find it boring. It's not a project that I'd be interested in participating in.

I think the general question is not whether you'd be attractive enough. It's whether you'd have the nerve to participate.

Hell, why not?!?

I would absolutely do that for a good cause.

I'm pretty vain so last year I would have*, this year I would have donated money.

I gave the article to the three nurses with whom I work at my medical group. One said "no way;" one said "absolutely" and the third said only if our five foot, five inch self-proclaimed "ladies man" dermatologist with the hideously bad hairpiece participated. LOL
