Is it that comics end up featuring heavily because they mention their status in their routines? Circumcised guys seem to feature a lot on the B Irish comedy circuit.

I don't know why, but I always assumed Dave Gorman was Jewish?

Interesting comment about the Irish, as expats - Brits and Irish together in California - I know 3 Irish gentlemen who are happily circumcised, all 3 RIC.

My experience of Ireland is very different. Certainly I have personal knowledge of Irish men born in the 60's, many of whom were circumcised. It's worth remembering that there are strong family connections between Ireland & the USA with frequent travel & family visits. I have always assumed that the Irish practice was closely influenced by America. Adopting the practice of successful family in the USA is certainly probable

My researches revealed that there is a long history of circumcision amongst Irish Catholics as a specific against masturbation.

I always enjoy watching Dave on his TV shows and reading his books. Knowing now that he's a member of 'Team Helmet' (something I'd always suspected) is another reason to like him.

I'm Irish I was circumcised as a baby as were all the boys in my family. I'm 20 and when I was in school many of my friends were also circumcised and we all couldn't be more happy with it

You live and learn Dylan. Can I ask did you come from Northern or Southern Ireland, and is there any difference in figures between the two?. I do know that Essex, for some reason, seems to have more circumcised blokes than other counties

Essex does have a strong Jewish community, which would be a contributing factor.

I am from donegal right on the border but on the republic of Ireland side. There are a few cut lads from the north I know but more from the republic. I noticed a lot of the lads in school who were cut come from a well off background.

Thanks Dylan, that is interesting. I think on the whole that it is still more likely you will be cut at birth if you come from a wealthier background (private hospitals) because - pardon the near pun - if you are born on the NHS they are more circumscribed in what they can do in any field.
Mark, that reminds me of a joke in a Carry on film:

Hi, Noick - yes that joke is from "Carry On -Don't :pse Yur Head" made in 1965.

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
