He had to have it removed why? Whenever I hear about adults having their foreskins removed it immediately occurs to me there were religious reasons (like conversion) or their woman asks for it--I've heard uncut penises are seen as ugly in the West.

Medical problems are more often the reason why adults have it removed, that's why my friend had it done in any case.

So, where did you hear that fairy-tale? I'm sure that's not the case here in Europe. Besides, with the foreskin pulled back it's hard to see the difference.

A circumsized cock looks incomplete to me. Much prefer to look at the uncut version....and enjoy its practical advantages.

Isn't circumcision pretty common in America? I've heard the preference for circumcised members from several places--at the risk of sounding silly: American Pie and a podcast where several men momentarily discussed it, and surely other places which I cannot remember.

A US Representative has introduced a bill that would supersede local efforts to ban circumcision...Instead preserving the ability for Jewish and Muslims to freely practice their religion (and circumcise their babies!). I for one applaud the Congressman for trying to keep the government out of people's personal lives.

So this bill would also make female genital mutilation legal?

I believe the bill only addresses MALE circumcision.

I've never understood how allowing genital mutilation of any kind whatever is an expansion of freedom.

Oh I see, it's not about freedom of religion, it's about the supremacy of certain religions over others. Those with religious beliefs which demand the cutting of male babies genitals are given special licence to override the rights of the child not to be mutilated, whereas those with religious beliefs which demand the cutting of female genitals are not. One religion is given supremacy over others.

Isn't that supposed to be against your constitution?
