It is interesting quite a lot of rugby footballers seem to be circumcised - I can only assume it might be because rugby is played by public schoolboys. I used to have a mate who ;played rugby and he told me quite a few of his team-mates were cut as well (he was himself). This was about 15 years ago and he was about 20 at the time, so hopefully it's a tradition to pass on to the sons those blokes had

At the risk of again being accused of not contributing anything positive to this debate, I would argue that it shouldn't be treated as a tradition passed on to children who have had no choice in the matter. This only fuels the anti-circumcision and child mutilation brigade and they already feel they have enough evidence to end the practice. It should in my opinion be performed on children only when medically necessary and not just because the dad had it done, believes it to be more middle class or prefers the look. An adult may choose to have the operation for medical or aesthetic reasons and that is fine. In my line of work I see lots of penises hat really ought to be circumcised for health reasons because a foreskin which doesn't retract, apart from looking unpleasant IMO (which itself is not a reason for the op) is unclean under the foreskin and probably painful or at least uncomfortable for sex and masturbation. I can't understand why we would force our offspring to get chopped but likewise I can't understand why so many men (and there are lots) would prefer to put up with the discomfort, unhygienic and bizarre look of a penis straight-jacketed into a skin which looks sore and about to rupture at any time rather than have a relatively easy op to end all the issues. I'm cut myself and much prefer it. Indeed I think that cut penises look far more attractive and are healthier but that is a decision I made for myself when I could weigh up the pros and cons of undergoing surgery. I certainly wouldn't put my son through it because it is a tradition set by his father. If he chooses later on in life to do as his dad did, great but at least he had the choice. It would just be nice if more men who really ought to get themselves sorted with the op had the confidence to do so and realise that having no foreskin is not the end of the world and indeed would make their lives more pleasurable. I guess they just don't think they would feel comfortable being in such a small minority and one which is growing smaller all the time as fewer and fewer people are being cut.

Markus, I agree with most of what you say, but I would never acquiesce in the view that circumcision is ´mutilation´ which is peddled so often by intactivists - I am sure that sorry shower would have found something else to whinge about had it not been foreskins - nose or ears probably.. There problems in life are due to a 15 minute operation at birth, and in a country where circumcision is the norm?. I don´t buy it. The most vociforous intactivists are in the States..

@Markus Well Markus, I opted for cosmetic circumcision at 36 and then 6 months ago had my frenulum removed. But to be totally honest, I wish I was cut at birth or at least pre puberty and this would have allowed my glans to fully flourish. Myself and my wife when we discovered she was pregnant, decided that we would have him cut as soon as possible, wife is a nurse, however we were blessed with a girl…

One tends to agree with Mr Mark. One had the most charming colleague who played the gentleman’s sport of rugby. He took my breath away one evening in a public house when he asked if one was a Roundhead or Cavalier, being a staunch Royalist I naturally answered the latter. When he confirmed he was a Roundhead, and explained what he meant in the vernacular, I was most surprised. He explained that he was born in the former British colonies and had the procedure performed there. It was the most enlightening evening. One never got the impression he was bothered about his status of being skinned shortly after birth. One believes he may actually still play rugby!

Hello Markus. Not only aesthetically more pleasing in the flesh so to speak, I find that on film, foreskin looks very unpleasant. Due to the lighting needed when retracted the foreskin makes the penis head look oily or greasy. That is why I prefer American ´adult films´ - 95% of the models/actors are circumcised - the opposite is true for British.There is a dilemma there though - I like men to look natural and in the British films they do, stubble and blemishes being part of normal men, the Americans tend to go for a lot of makeup - even body makeup in some cases. making them look a bit doll-like, but it is the long foreskins and the damp look of an uncut penis that completely turns me off. My parents didn´t have me circumcised at birth as they thought it was ´cruel´ , but as things turned out it would have spared me the pain later on. The irony was my dad was circumcised so he must have known the benefits, but he had it done in the army, so being anti-officialdom he might have associated it with that..

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
