How does any enquiring parent etc. know that I am correct? Maybe Im not?

>>>>>> JB here

I amy sound like a anti circ person mainly due to the fact i was circed and regret it. Not sure if iam correct in saying that its the only way to go there are good in both i guess. I just was not asked about my status when it happend. maybe a forum for the Anti Circ folks and the Pro Circ folks where they can air there thoughts and let the ones who are uncut decide . thats a thought . again EDUCATION

<<<<<<< Robin

>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.

I have also heard of sites where there are uncut guys who wish to like or be cut but not really sure . I know for a fact the Porno Industry katers to guys who are cut hence everyone thinks you have to be cut to enjoy sex .. Not the case. And there been magazines out who are getting more uncuts exposed in the magazines now as well . I am with you more research needs to be done whats the sensation of guys cut vs uncut and how that affext sex . Sexology magazine used to cover a lot of old medical info. not sure if there still in print now i belive the format has changes a lot in ther last issues i read 10 or 15 yrs ago . the www.nocirc.org is one who has a lot of info on the care of uncut childern but they also can use help or a linkl to your site for more info. and guys who are cut and want restoration can go to www.noharmm.org for that info and a link there would be good for guys who want just learn mor about foreskins in general .

I go along with taht idea as well but remember a lot of us grow at different rates. I understand that in Europe at there schools the doctor checks on the progress each year and if nothing is done and some boys naturally are tight need to take on more agressive methods short of Cutting it off. and for those who wish to be cut maybe teach them to just pull it back and try to hold it or ware it pulled back i do know the frenum also makes a difference if it stays back or not as well that is better than a total circ as i see it and they have the best of both worlds if they want it back that have it if not they ware it pulled back no loss of nerves with cutting . I also hear hat some boys just mature later in life and it dosent release until there in there teens . But my question is so what what if it dosent ever pull back whats wrong with that as well that i need to learn as well and there is NO infor on what that feels like at all so the phimosed guys need to speak up on that experience as well not the usual oh it feels ok ?
