PREFACE (in 2006 to the original 1996 version).
A delightful little booklet, wonderfully naive in its mixture of personal experience and scientific facts, full of fascinating theories.

FORWORD
Our story takes place in Europe, a culture where the men are not routinely circumcised.
Around the 1850s, "Mental illness was blamed on tight foreskins, . . as was excessive masturbation" 1 . These phenomena have been misinterpreted and misunderstood, and even today, ideas which bear any resemblance are often considered to be deluded, or "complete nonsense" 2 . If you open your mind, I will attempt to lead you through a minefield of preconceptions.
