A reader writes:

The idea that sex is better for circumcised men is very suspect. In fact, it is my understanding that the reverse is actually true; since the skin has "movement," it is actually a better "ride" for the female/bottom. I think that this kind of thinking - that cut is better - is due to cultural psychology. Americans are notoriously squeamish about foreskins and have been brainwashed by doctors to think that there is something dirty about it. That's what the doc told my mother when I was born, so she had me chopped. She has since apologized when I confronted her (nicely) about it.



Also, I wanted to let Chris know that circumcision is partly reversible, but it takes a lot of work and time. I'm about 70% restored using a DIY stretching technique. You can also buy products to aid with this especially on the internet (search: foreskin restoration). I wish this procedure wasn't necessary, because it takes a lot of time and effort, and it's not always convenient, but I'm really glad to have some of my skin back!  It feels awesome!

Thanks for the, um, tip. Oy.
