Suuuure I believe he's volunteering for this.
OK... the wording raises all sorts of warning-flags. But, as a CONCEPT (had he not specified who he'd rather have "practicing" on him), it struck me the idea may have its ...applicability.
I never enjoyed a *thing* about being ill or otherwise in need of attention in Sickbay for the first 20 of my adult life. That habit has largely endured for the 16½ years or so, since. If I'm on that exam-table I am NOT there trying to put any moves on some attractive (and quite obviously aware of it) young woman who has just been assigned to come in and do this or that. When she walks in looking at my middle-aged carcass like she's a celeb on Lifetime-TV's EEEUWWW-Factor and I'm her new challenge, it little-inspires my confidence. I don't really care if she's demonstrated on some cadaver or mannequin that she knows the course-material. Neither of those can actually report that something she did in haste while making a face and averting her eyes HURT LIKE HELL, now get her away from me and get me a Doctor.
Some live person who knows what's supposed to happen and how it ought to feel if done RIGHT, can give that report immediately. Some live person who does NOT fit her profile as a possible romantic interest, giving instant feedback, might either cure that squeamish approach or might provide an epiphany regarding her career-choice (e.g., you were better suited for the Mall).
So--logically--there could be a place for the position that "volunteer" is pretending to seek--in a teaching-hospital or in a nursing-school. It would have to be in an open, un-private setting, with direct adult supervision. I'm thinking a teaching-hospital because some of the implements with which such a volunteer would be poked--can create an immediate need for surgical intervention if wielded too vengefully/fearfully/disgustedly.
Logically, such a volunteer should expect to serve as a live training-device for the entire spectrum of nursing students--not just those about whom he may have fantasized. That would probably select-out whoever posted that proposition, in the first 3 minutes or so. The same logic that tells me this could work, suggests some seasoned Nurse might know a few other things that would select-out a wiseass on the make. So any applicant had better be genuine--and, probably, genuinely shameless. But, as a concept, this off-the-wall idea works for me, I believe. RKBA! Best regards.
