>>Chris, go to Circlist and Brian Morris's website Circinfo for some facts, not rampant uneducated personal opinions. Congratulations on getting this far. It's a scary thouhgt but the final result should be excellent. There are excellent and not too expensive clinics in London. Search the Web.
>Well, I wouldn’t paint Mr. Morris as having a balanced view, and so wouldn’t I paint many CL people having one.

Chris, having read this responder's replies, he is one chap who simply can't get around the idea that circumcision IS an option, that pulling, tuggling, stretching putting up with discomfort, infections, tearing and cracking the frenulum and foreskin in these maneuvers, and having to tolerate all manner of other misery, is FAR mor acceptable to him than a circumcision under any circumstances. Be aware. Circumcision has to be an option sometimes. His slamming of Circlist and particularly Brian Morris, without offering any real reasons, are red flags. Brian has written the most sholarly work on this subject. Ralesk's writings are...???
Instead,he would rather that you went to the 4skin restoration sites etc as their information, would of course, be accurate and scientifically based. I have lived in countries where circumcision is the norm and from everything I can tell, the guys are generally unaware that there is any controversy about this topic and when told otherwise think it's wierd that there is, given that they think their penises are perfectly alright. Those with limited experience of the uncut state aren't very impressed with it by comparison, certainly having no wish to own a foreskin
This should NOT be a one sided argument, but note, the anticircer's sound like the morning rooster... dominating the one side and hardly allowing for any opposition to be heard. Tell me, where are the loud voices of the circumcised rising in protest? --------------------
Exactly. And for the record, I chose to be circ'd as an adult and just as Circlist writers say -a great source for men who have undergone adult circumcison to talk about the experience- I can concur with them that there is no comparison for the most part. The idea that the foreskin does something sexual is indeed true.. it impedes the full sexual expression of the penis. The Jewish word for circumcions means constricted. As food for thought, any Christian or Jew should think it odd that God would instruct a nation to wreck its sexuality. Therefore, be not afraid to consider this worthwhile OPTION.
