>To put it short: what if the drive behind some circ-hungry people is not a perversion,

The label of pervision and circ-fetish is thrown around by many in the anti-circ community without regard for truth of context. I myself have been inaccurately labelled with these slurs. While it is true that some people might actually get off on the idea of being circumcised, I would suggest they are in the vast minority and perhaps neighbours in bizarrenss to people that like to cut each other drink each others blood (man, there's some wierd people out there!) I think the problem rests with people like Rood or 28/F when they whimsically suggest someone has a circum-fetish or gets a sexual response based soley on the fact that an adult has willingly been circumcised (regardless if the reason be medical, cosmetic, religous). It's that disregard for context which kind of screws up the perspective others have of the AC community.

>but a rather quite natural quality that evolution gave us humans?

It's human determination which motivates circumcision. Reasons could be medical, ritual or even cosmetic. From that, rightly or wrongly, it ain't evolution, baby!
