Part 1, What happened? →
My first hint that something was missing came about age nine or ten. Some grown up or another had given my friend John a new Slip ‘N Slide for his birthday. He and I and our friend Michael were changing into our swimsuits in John’s bedroom preparatory to slipping and sliding on this most coveted Wham-O product when one or the other of them (I forget which one.) said to me...

amorous-outlaw:
Three days after my son was born, nurses wheeled him away from my room while I slept.
I was awoken, told my son was being prepped for “his procedure” and led to a hallway outside of a room, where my newborn child was strapped to a table, with his foreskin retracted. I was handed a clipboard with a consent form and told I “needed” to sign it, and when I refused to consent to...

In Response to All Fooked Up →
A post about another blogger who had her son circumcised because she thought he would never get a blowjob if he was not circumcised. Such a foolish woman. She judges her son’s (and all other men’s) penis and they are not good enough for her. They need to be surgically altered to meet her definition of being “blog job worthy.” I bet her son, when he grows up and reads...

Should I Circumcise?: Is Intactivism antisemitic? →
The answer is … NO! “There is nothing inherently antisemitic about wanting to save innocent babies from having part of their penis chopped off.” The author is a circumcised man who discusses how circumcision impacts those who realize what they lost from having part of their sex organ removed at birth. He feels anger toward the doctors that cut him. He can relate to a person...

Examiner: Circumcision Harm Survey Launched →
An announcement of an on-line survey for circumcised men. The survey seeks to document the harms suffered by men from their circumcision. Men need to tell the world about their circumcision. I have a botched circumcision. My frenulum remnant is scarred and it has always irritated me. For many men, the frenulum remnant is a very pleasurable part of the penis. Not for me.

Free exercise rights end where another’s body... →
What is circumcision? It’s an essentially irreversible surgical procedure carried out on newborns incapable of giving informed consent.
If personal faith is not a good enough reason to deny one’s child a vaccine or medical care in case of illness, it’s not a good enough reason to permanently modify a child’s genitals.

Circumcision.org: Why Not Say Uncircumcised? →
A man who is not circumcised is intact.
The term “uncircumcised” suggests that to be circumcised is the norm, the standard. The same is true for “uncut.” The two words play into the circumcision culture to normalize a circumcised penis. It is better to say a man is intact or natural. That reflects the true state of his body.
