To have complained about today’s episode of Loose Women

You sound absolutely ridiculous.

Exactly, it’s obvious what was happening.

Plus, how likely is it that ITV at lunchtime will have a mannequin to demonstrate a sexual act?? Does loose women normally cover sex tips with demonstrations?

God knows what OP assumes is going on if she’s channel hoping and stumbles across someone with a banana.

I wouldn't have thought people who use terms like 'extremely unbecoming' in a non ironic way would be the type to watch Loose Women.

Haven't watched that coven since the Coleen Nolan v Kim Woodbury episode. Can't bear their self righteous pontificating.

OP, how about you find out exactly what you’re complaining about in future, rather than making a rash decision to be outraged when you haven’t actually got a clue what it is you are seeing.

Good grief, these people walk among us!

They also showed Vanessa Feltz having a live mammogram recently. As someone who isn't at testing age yet, but lost my mum to breast cancer and so will definitely take up the invite, it was useful to see the process ahead of time.

My DH has been very unwell recently which resulted in him needing a PR examination. This blind sided him, he didn’t know this examination was ‘a thing’ and was mortified.

I wish he’d of seen this this as I’m sure he’d of been more comfortable with the situation if he’d of had some prior knowledge!

So you are so sex obsessed that you interpreted a demonstration on a mannikin of an incredibly common medical examination technique as a sex act. Pretty sure the problem is with you.

How pathetic.

Even if you were channel hopping it was obvious what was going on. It was an important message for men. So many men put off going to the doctor to get their prostate checked because they don’t want a finger up the bum, but this showed them that it’s quick and easy. If it helps just one get to the doctors, it’s worth it imo.

And for balance, Vanessa Feltz had a mammogram live on This Morning a few months back. If that encouraged some women to go then that’s great too.

I assumed it was a sexual discussion and they were demonstrating a prostate massage for sexual purposes.

Goodness, OP. You see a clip with a doctor - wearing an exam glove - explaining a medical exam with a clear banner across the screen indicating that the segment is explaining what happens in a prostate exam as part of a health clinic topic and you start thinking of sex acts? This preoccupation seems like maybe something to discuss in therapy instead of trying to make it someone else's problem.

OP is clearly on the wind up as it’s very clear from the clip that it’s showing a medical procedure. Even if you were channel hopping and joined halfway through it‘s obvious so the faux ‘Well I didn’t know that’s what it was’ is totally shite. It even has a banner at the bottom the whole time saying ‘prostate exam’. Come on.

Exactly, seeing a doctor doing a demo normalises it

I think that was Chris Hughes from Love Island/the latest CBB getting his checked! I remember that too.

This ⬆️

And to add to your reply @PinkArt its reactions like these that contribute to that embarrassment.

❤️

I seem to remember This Morning (or good morning Britain maybe) doing a segment where they showed a dr checking the testicles of a man facing the camera, just holding his penis in his hand to the side so it couldn’t be seen, but testicles fully visible.

OP would’ve needed smelling salts.

Interested to know if the OP has had a close, young male relative go through cancer treatment? I have and im so thankful they chose to ignore any feelings of embarrassment (which no one should ever have as we all have bodies) and go to the GP. They are here today because they made their appointment.

I imagine the staff at Loose Women agreed the tiny risk of putting off a few people (who can’t cope with a bum) was worth it to save lives and make an impact.

I hope someones booking an appointment today they put off because of this show…

That sounds excellent. Educational and supportive.

The point of the segment, that you didn't watch but felt the need to complain about, was to show how quick, easy and unembarrassing a men's health check is.
It covered things like checking chest tissue, looking at the tongue, a back to camera testicle check and the prostate check on the false bottom. The latter took about one minute, wasn't remotely sexual or inappropriate and was included to help encourage men to get over any embarrassment and go for a simple, potentially life saving test.
Don't miss the opportunity to pearl clutch about something you completely missed the point of though.

It does, though. Loads of men are terrified of the examination and think it’s a much bigger deal than it is, when it’s actually a really quick and painless test. Describing it isn’t a substitute for actually seeing it and knowing exactly what to expect.

Breast exams have been demonstrated many times on day time shows for exactly the same reason. It is a good thing. Don’t let your prudery / squeamishness get in the way of a really useful awareness campaign that could potentially save lives. Jeez.

OP, seriously, why not actually double check before the outrage?

Yes it's an awful programme I don't think trying to educateen about prostrate cancer is "low" though.

OP - Implies that Loose Woman sticks finger up arsehole of plastic dummy. It puts her off her lunch.
Visions formed of cackling, old yet immature women. Fair assumption.

Truth - Male medical episode outlining what happens during a prostate examination with regards to cancer.

How dull.

Complaint well received by anyone needing some light relief (not of the finger up arsehole kind).

He does look good doesn’t he . I thought Charles was less stuffy than I imagined aswell . Might be an act though , it’s not easy to have 3 divorces .
