With circumcision , this is white or black, you stay whole or you get
mutilated. I have not been circumcised as most people in the world and am
happy that it is so . i will have hated to learn that when i was a baby
somebody authorized himself ( lot of chance he will be a male ) to expose
some sentitive parts of myself to constant stimulation. I just can't even
imagine how it is to have your gland constantly exposed. I suppose you have
to shut down the sensitive part of yourself and becoming a tough guy who
need  sex 3 time a day  to just be able to feel something.
Circumscision is a barbarous useless practice.
I must be a zealot , but it is what i think.
