I'm opposed to routine neonatal circumcision, but not to circumcision when it is chosen by adult men for themselves. If a guy chooses it, and if he's doing this because his foreskins is too tight, well, you might suggest there are other options, but he's an adult, so of course it's up to him.

It's important for people to enjoy sex to the max, but I don't think our society is quite relaxed enough about this yet. It certainly doesn't seem relaxed enough to accept that sexual pleasure, like pleasure in any other sport, is something most people will have to train for. Of course most guys train a good deal anyway, but this isn't something people tend to talk about in suitably practical terms. Too many presbyterians and such...

I think foreskin maintenance should be at least mentioned in Sex Education at school, with various other pleasure-related topics too. Though imagine the brouhaha this sort of proposal would cause. In Scotland, at least, it would cause outrage. The sensible people behind this proposal would of course hardly be suggesting hands-on demonstrations. Nevertheless, this is how it would be reported in the tabloid press. Religious lobbies would go apeshit. Instructing our kids in sin! The work of Satan! Very bizarre.

I think I remember that you made similar comments a few months ago. Also, you've resolved, or have very nearly resolved, phimosis by stretching?
