I had a pap smear done once at a facility that trained med students. I think the philosophy of the place was "get to know your bod". The woman who was doing the exam handed me a mirror and asked me if I wanted to see my cervix. Heck, as long as you have to have something unpleasant done, you might as well feel involved and learn something from it rather than just feeling like you're having things done TO you. (sorry fellas, i hope that didn't gross you out.)
