Hi Steve,
Good – education I agree, – problem is how to educate the doctors and local health care people – writing to the medical journals is probably the only way.
Another problem is you say sites like mine are good, but as far as I know there are no other sites like mine – there are hundreds of anti circ and pro circ sites educating either that the foreskin is meant to cover the glans, or that the foreskin is best removed. How does any enquiring parent etc. know that I am correct? Maybe Im not?
It seems these very clear opposed views will always attract 100s more supporters than mere education on "does your foreskin come all the way back". Our only advantage is that this form of education could be the simple truth.
Maybe you’d like to do some internet research and just tell me if there are any other www resources which are giving the same message as me. You could even mirror my site if you wanted.
Cheers
Robin
