I didn't know the guideline for over 30 was 5 years for a pap, @wandering! That makes me feel so much better, actually. I just assumed I needed one every year because I've always gotten an annual until this stretch. It is a bit more flameful I guess because I have a strong history of breast cancer in my family (that's where the fear comes in) and probably not only need a clinical exam but a mammogram but yeah, no issues. :-)

Obviously I think you should check with your doctor
But yeah for over 30 guidelines are for paps every 3 years or every 5 years with HPV testing. I think some docs have a preference and obviously look at your history.
I hope you can muster up enough strength to talk to your doc
I didn't sleep with a guy once because it was so small. I am so unsmooth I was like Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally, all "um, so I have an early squash game and should really hit the road."

I didn't either!
The guidelines changed in 2012. They're endorsed by acog (obgyn group), a cancer group and a pathology group as well based on research.
It's either 3 years OR 5 years WITH hpv testing for those over 30. I think certain doctors have a preference and obviously should be based on your history. So definitely check with your doctor.

I think this is also a fairly recent change in practice. I use a very large HMO and they had just switched to the every 3 year standard within the last 4-5 years. And when I had my most recent one last year, I was told I wouldn't need one for 5 years.

I have only seen 1 white guys penis and it was a lot small than I was used to. I was like "oh, wow" in my head. I've never seen an Asian guys penis. I want to know if it's true that black guys in general have bigger penises. I guess my n= 1 doesn't qualify. But of all my years of getting hit on, white guys never seemed in to me, so I never got to figure out anecdotally if they have smaller penises in general.

I did this once too
I'm the opposite.
I met this Australian who was backpacking around the world. A girlfriend and I hung out with him and his friend and on the second night, I gave him head.
He had the biggest penis I've ever seen. I swear at least 9 or 10 inches. I had my period, but was near the end. If he'd been smaller I would have slept with him anyway, but I was scared.
My baby wriggled out of her car seat atop her stroller and crashed down splat on a hard restaurant floor today because I was scooping up Thai grilled beef salad instead of watching her carefully.
It was at a birthday party, and everybody gasped in horror.
I dated a guy once that didn't have an impressive penis (for a black guy) but OMG did he know how to do EVERYTHING else. I've never had an orgasm as intense as I had with him-- and I reached the big O every.single.time. It was like his mission to make me finish.
ETA: This isn't a flameful. I just figured since we were talking about dicks...
I'm sorry, miso. These things happen and they happen to all of us. None of us have our eyes on our kid at all times. It's impossible. This shit happens.

@misoangry, our kid has a perpetual bruise on his forehead because I'm never fast enough to catch him when he trips over himself. It happens. Don't beat yourself up.
Oh, @misoangry, I know just how you feel. L rolled off the sofa once because I was distracted by something OPRAH was saying. Oprah. Like missing "live your truth" or some shit was worth it.
And tonight while I was sorting L's clothes in her room, O followed me in, stuck a Lego in his mouth, and smashed his fingers under the tread of her rocking chair in an approximately 45 second span.

The one Asian guy I was with was the most endowed of all of my partners (which is a small number, but still).
I've only slept with one black guy and his penis was reasonable but not the biggest I've seen.
I was with this Nigerian guy once. OMG. It was HUGE!! Like, I almost had to find a reason to not have sex with him. I rallied, but I'm pretty sure I was walking funny the next couple of days.

lol, well as a teen, I found this scientific booklet about sexual characteristics somewhere on the bookshelves.*
Statistically, yes, black people tend to have larger primary (dicks) and secondary (boobs, etc.) sexual characteristics. Then white people, then asians. Apparently the angle of erection is a factor as well.
*NO idea why that was on the shelf. My parents had a shitton of books and mom probably ended up with it inadvertently when buying a box of books from a library sale or something.
Disclaimer: I have no idea how old the research in this pamphlet was, or how accurately I'm remembering it all, but those were my primary takeaways. I found it to be fascinating reading at the time.

Hugs @misoangry. Don't feel bad. It really does happen to everyone. Leo has fallen flat on his face on our hard floors three times today. He has a huge red mark on his cheek. We've also both fallen down the stairs with him. Kids are so resilient.

My flameful: I started grad school two weeks ago and I am already thinking about dropping out. I just really underestimated the amount of work it would be, and how writing-heavy it would be. I am freaking out and wondering why I decided that adding more stress to my life would be a good idea. I have always been great at school, but I am really doubting myself and feeling very overwhelmed. Ugh.
