As a European woman I was surprised when I learned afew years ago that the majority of men in the US are circumcised. Its just not common practice for us. And so its interesting, if a little bizarre, to hear debates such as this, especially when people talk about "cleanliness"!
In the UK, circumcision just isn´t done (not including Jews). Its curious to me that it has become the norm in the US, and that people feel the need to cut away a part of the body. I have seen quite afew penises in my time (professionally as well as personally ) and have never seen a circumcised one, so it just goes to show that what you perceive as normal is a cultural construction.
I´m sorry, but something came to mind that I just have to ask about! The foreskin seems a useful piece of apparatus when it come to "working with the hands", you must need a lubricant to do this smoothly with out one, no?
okay, I understand if noone answers this question!
