'praising the severity of the circumcision'. So obviously a tight cut. Lucky man:-)

He's the son of Andrew MacMillan, well-known from R3! Born in Barnsley. He is gay - which may or may not be relevant. Wonder why he is circumcised.

See my comment below. In another poem he talks of the embarrassment at aged 16 of having to tell parents about his tight foreskin etc. So it look like a medical need at that age

That's actually quite a cool poem and quite a nice acknowledgment of something that defines him and he obviously likes!

In another poem he talks of his circumcision and the embarrassment of nurses checking etc so I guess he was probably a child. Sounds like a medical,intervention?

The fact that he writes about his embarrassment and discomfort years later, suggests to me that he is not exactly happy to be cut. I think this is where the "intactivists" do so much damage with theirgarbage about being "mutilated" and so on. He might not have been happy about it anyway, but that sort of thing must make it worse. A pity he won't come on here and talk about it. Perhaps we could make him feel better.

I got the impression from one of his poems that he was embarrassed and somewhat troubled by the procedure. He talks about how medical staff trying to find issues with his foreskin was uncomfortable for him. Either was I hope he is at peace with his penis now :-)

What British men are packing downstairsMore than one in five British men are circumcised (helmets/roundheads), but a lot of our cut brothers have grown up feeling isolated. Categories
