yaddayadda: I was cut at age 11... I recently learned I didn't have to be, but at 11 my dad was involved and i didnt really have a choice.

I couldnt retract the foreskin. This all came about, because when I was born, I had a heart problem, which meant I couldnt have any surgery/shots/etc in case something went wrong... After the age of 10, I was "released" from being watched because my heart problem basically was fixed... so my doc. wanted to get me all up to date with the needed shots and stuff (that babies usually get)... and so the topic came up, and when it was discovered that i couldn't pull it all back, i was schedualled for circum.

Of course i read recently a small cut can be made to fix it... my doctor was an idiot.
