As a female, yeah I used to get a lot of them when I was younger though they were never accompanied by diseases such as fevers or anything, there was just this numbing pain that lasts for a while
I noticed that there's a rising number of bl characters these days that are swimmers (dash, Arpeggio on Sea Surface, surge looking for u, etc.) and I think that makes it easier for the readers and the uke to get attracted right away if we always see them partly naked ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Damn, I honestly thought he's a bit sick in the head, but not to this extent
