VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

>I am male, a little over 50 years of age and have been

>remove my clothes. I stripped off except for my undies
>and she came in to observe. She said I did look a bit

>most important that my genitals not been over exposed.
>I said that I said that these parts had always been

>that this area was checked. I complied. She told me

>that she would reduce my UVB exposure time a little.
>She appeared to be quite surprised (raised eyebrows -
>startled expression) that I did not have my underpants

>put my undies on before entering the UVB light box.
