I don't get it...I think they should call that tool "Mr. Happy Guy" because it looks like so much fun!

OK, time to run for my life...

I believe that in the Vagina Monologues they're referred to as "cold duck lips" :)

That blasted contraption, it makes me lock my knees upon sight!
The metal version seems much more intimidating than the East Coast variety.

Just a suggestion, but how about asking the doctor to run it under warm water for a minute. Doesn't solve the overall problem, but I'm sure (can't speak from experience here) that it would be more comfortable that way, and it would take very much longer, or cost anything. :)

Mike, your suggestion led me to wonder just how much of a temperature difference there is, and my Google search led me to this HILARIOUS page from Jackin' World (yes, exactly what it sounds like) entitled What Does a Vagina Feel Like, and How Can You Simulate That Feeling While Masturbating? Note: boys are inventive!"The most startling thing about intercourse is the temperature. We're talking 98.6 degrees, not room temperature! Also, a vagina is moist with secretions. Spit comes close, but pre-cum is better. The temperature is hard to duplicate, however. For years I've used the "Vagina" method described in JackinExpert, but a warm fist is not a hot vagina. (Note: Do not try to get warmth by using the heat rubs used in athletics. If any gets on your scrotum, you will be in severe pain!)"

Heh. Okay, I'll stop thinking about the pure stupidity involved in putting heat rubs on the scrotum for just a second so that I can wonder about the effect of a speculum that is 98.6 degrees. It's all metal, would it keep the heat? I suppose I would worry more about an over-zealous doctor who would end up burning me.

Damn that was funny...but anyway, back on topic. I think it hold the heat long enough to get it in, and then it would be basically isothermal with the vagina, so there would be no more heat transfer. I will think about it for a little while and see if I can't calculate a rough estimate of how quickly it would radiate heat when raised to a particular temperature. Getting it too hot though, yeah could be an issue. I imagine the doctor would be aware of that, but definately something to think about. :)
