This one will be quite controversial, but it is something I have personal experience of. Given the amount of Intactavist material now more or less mainstream, I would like to see if not exactly pro-circ, that it is not the end of the world if you have to be circumcised, as I was. I am indifferent to it myself now, but I can imagine, when I was 16, if I had read that I had been "mutilated" orthe suggestion given that my sex life was ruined, that I wouldn't feel good because all my nerves had been "severed".
This is particularly relevant if you are British or European as it is quite unusual to have this done. I think in Amerca it is still quite a common procedure, but in decline. If you are still at school when it is done, you have the teasing to go through, so you don't need to be told your sensitivity will diminish and the implication that you will become impotent (none of the doom mongers ever point out that once you get into your 30s you can diminish in - whatever you want to call it - whether you are cut or uncut. I have friends in their 30s and 40s uncut whose "drive" has diminished compared to what it was like in the late teens. That is fairly normal whatever your status.
This is probably more a gay thing - I have had enquiries as to whether I am Jewish (I am not, but I hasten to say it doesn't and shouldn't matter), told there is something wrong with me, and even at a pre-employment medical once the doctor wanted to know WHY I had been "done" (apparently they can tell whether it was neo-natal or done later) - you don't really want to talk about tight foreskins with your boxers round your ankles). I have a thick skin but I can remember what it felt like to have this negativity when I was 16, and I suspect lads are even more sensitive today than they were 20 years ago.
I wouldn't want to start a name-calling exercise or suggesting cut is better (or worse) than uncut, and the only thing that really pisses me off these days is not being regarded as "mutilated" because I am not - I just get tired of reading "a foreskin is a birthright not a birth defect". Anything is defective if it doesn't work properly and prior to being 16 mine did not. I am sure some lads find the situation of being in a minority very isolating.
