Well, UK Dude, I really wasn't urging you to rush out & get circumcised, but did want you to face the fact that it seems to be largely a head problem, not necessarily a penis problem, which your letter of today indicates you realise. Seeing the doctor on Friday should shed some light on whether any procedure is needed, and hopefully you can move on from there, putting your retraction-and-sensitivity phobia (if that's what it is!) behind you. (Btw, I'm totally sastisfied with my circumcision & the accompanying somewhat reduced sensitivity, but of course you might not be. That's where your own decisions need to be made.) Best wishes, RJK.
