prepstudinsc: re: British royals being cut
I heard that it's just an old tradition that goes back to the Victorian era. The royal family had their son circumcised as a means to dissuade masturbation. (If I remember corrctly) The tradition has just been carried on to this day.

It's really no different than the reasons that we Americans are generally cut. My dad dropped dead at age 32 when I was just a few months old. According to his autopsy report, he was cut. Both my parents were/are in medicine, so I'm sure the decision to circumcise me was partially tradition (my dad was cut) and the fact that my parents were looking at the facts as they were taught in school in the early-mid 1960's.
I am glad I'm cut, I don't remember anything about it, since I was only a few days old when it happened. I have a nice circumcision, without any skin bridges or stuff, so who cares. I think mine looks better cut.
