I found out about circumcision when I was 5 when my cousin was born. His parents opted to leave him intact, whereas I'm cut. When I saw him diaperless, and me being an inquisitive 5 year old, I asked my dad why my little cousin's looked as it did. So, I got the 30 second tamed down talk about uncut vs. cut.
I took swimming lessons when I was young, and also went to a YMCA camp where all the boys showered nude, and everyone was cut.
Then in my year 6 health education class I got the real chat about circumcision.
As an undergraduate, I was ardently anti-circ, and even wrote a term paper calling circumcision a human rights violation. Had a BIG uncut fetish at the time, ala Bel Ami porn.
My opinion toward circ has lightened up tremendously since then, and I'd say I appreciate the aesthetic qualities of a cut cock now. I don't think it is a necessary routein infant procedure, but I also don't see it as a point of shame as some men do. |
