Yeah I recently had my annual physical and the nurse asked me this. Was wearing no makeup no nothing. It tickled me immensely. I guess I read more fem in real life than I think... Because I dont have a pap to smear boo. Still makes me laugh.

Actually, there is a good reason to get a Pap smear done, the same reason that gay males are encouraged to get an anal Pap smear now.
If exposed to Human papilloma virus (HPV), there is an increased risk of cancers. A Pap smear, or alternatively a vault or cuff smear can be done to check for early signs of cancer.
