Needless to say, I did not want the long arm of justice reaching up this reporter's urethra. So I walked out the door with dignity--and zipper--in place...
...Krantz, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, believes that lovers aiming for the so-called G spot in fact are hitting a more general nerve area around the weak sphincter muscle of the vagina and the cavernous tissue of the urethra. Says Krantz: "I would like to know on what anatomical basis the G spot is explained. Have they made biopsies of it?" The authors, he thinks, have drawn a conclusion based on inadequate evidence.

Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra, the channel carrying urine from the bladder. In gonorrhea victims, it is caused by the gonococcus bacterium. But in a majority of cases of NGU, no gonococcus can be found-hence the name nongonococcal urethritis. Though the cause of NGU cannot always be determined, researchers have in recent years identified a culprit in about half the cases: a tiny bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis, the same microbe that causes trachoma, an eye disease...

Such extensive surgery, Whitmore later explained, is routine in radical cystectomies (which his team performs at a rate of 80 to 100 a year), and does not mean that there is any malignancy beyond the bladder...
