[Jon1971]

1. Almost 52
2. White
3. In my age group there was nothing to talk about. Everyone was cut.
4. It would have been news if someone in my school wasn't cut. In the very early 70s they pretty much cut without asking. Mom says that they just did it, didn't really ask her if she wanted it done to me.
5. I don't know of anyone that went to school with me that wasn't cut.
6. I kinda wish that it wasn't done.
7. Yes
8. I don't have any kids, but if I did, I wouldn't have it done automatically. I'd leave it up to them to decide when they get older if they want it done.
9. Not seeing anyone currently, but again in my age group, almost everyone is cut.
10. I've only specifically discussed it only with very close friends, but then again friends that close have already seen it in the gym shower anyway.

37. white. It's not discussed here (UK). Only muslim guys are circumcised here. No one was ridiculed. Being circumcised is better, no regrets. I was uncut as an adult. Didn't care for it. Ideally I would circumcise my son. I probably won't have kids though and might not have a wife who agrees with the procedure even if I did have kids. No one knows I'm cut.
