I am also not a physician, but will contribute my "three cents" based on family history and personal experience:
1. There are many variables----family history being extremely important. If ANYONE in your family has a history of colon cancer and/or polyps, you should absolutely demand a more significant exam than the stool sample technique---you NEED a colonoscopy. Age is also a significant factor---if you are over 40, you also should demand the colonoscopy. Other incidents regarding colon problems should be explained or related to your physician, even if they are only suspicious.
2. Enough has been said about the prep, as far as alternatives---be SURE you follow the directions precisely and you should be cleansed appropriately.
3. You NEED to have someone drive you home after the procedure---most hospitals will not let you leave, walk, take a taxi, etc., if you do not have a driver with you who will ensure that you get home, get into your residence, etc.
4. To be free of colonoscopies for 10 years is probably NOT an option if you are over 50 or if polyps, benign or otherwise are found--each patient's needs are different.
5. For those of you reading this thread who have never had a colonoscopy and are worried/concerned about ANYTHING to do with it----get over it. Forget minor difficulties, embarassments and make sure you have it done. As has been said, this is a common cancer that can and should be prevented.
6. Lucky: Hopefully you will be given a clean bill of health and even as important, brought others on this FORUM to the point where they follow your example.

There is a thread on The Lounge about BFE and kissing---this set of photos certainly provides convncing evidence that kissing is erotic, stimulating and downright sexy!! Thanks for finding so many "romantic" photos.
I also liked #21--lovely abs on the reclining guy; and #23--the look says it all
And would love to have #17 as my Valentine today---forget the chocolates, just give me the package.

Good to see men with pubic hair--very tired of shaved pubes.
All great photos---one small correction---there is one jackass/donkey in the series, not a horse. Still a nice pic.
