I Have A Foreskin

I refer to the uncut johnson as the "pointed penis" resulting from what gay men call "overhang". I had a pointed penis until some time in my early teens. I was very embarrassed by having to use public rest rooms until I discovered that I could slide my foreskin back and look circumcised. The first time I recall my head being exposed was when my pediatrician forced my foreskin back when I was 7 (it is now known that this is not a good thing to do, but I was not damaged by the experience). I don't recall when I first saw my glans, but it must have been when I was 7 or 8. I do recall having to be slow and careful about pulling it back until I was in high school. Otherwise it could hurt. I did not appreciate how sexual my foreskin was until I began reading anti-circumcision stuff in the 1980s and 90s. After 2nd grade, I was never razzed for having a Weird Dick. By high school, I was an expert foreskin hider. When I came out of the closet in my 30s, none of my friends suspected that I was uncut.
This year, I learned that American teenage boys have a neutral slang term for the natural penis: "pullback". That term highlights an important truth, that many older Americans seem to not know, namely that the foreskin slides back to reveal the bald penis all Americans know and love. This alone is why all claims that the natural penis is uglier than the cut one are utter nonsense. When the foreskin is easily retractable (which is what Nature Intended), the natural penis is a 2-in-1 penis.

Your knowledge of up to date statistical averages in Canada is far more accurate I'm sure than what I've quoted you from my own experiences of 15 years ago, as I have never pursued an accurate head-count of my own to support any discussion that followed. The region of Ontario I lived in during my teen years was south-western Ontario which is 99% rural. The statistical averages of the rest of Canada are not and never have been equally reflected nor represented in that southern-most part of Canada.

In terms of the American mid-west, what you're saying doesn't surprise me at all. But in all honesty from my own experiences which have been garnered primarily through discussion with other women, it matters not where one travels in the United States, most of the country is a direct reflection of those sentiments felt in the American mid-west. There is an underlying fear that cloaks all of America in my personal view, that nobody really wants to advance into the 21st Century on any level of conscious awareness for fear of not knowing in advance what the outcome might be.

Status quo, which most other civilized nations around the world refer to as 'backward thinking', is what predominates the ultra-conservative approach most Americans have adopted as their model of 'forward thinking', insofar as circumcising at birth is concerned as a standard medical protocol. [/c]

@swirlie A growing number of American parents are questioning the Bald Penis status quo, starting with two simple reasons: (1) RIC hurts like hell,(2) there is no honest counting of the number of RICs that go rogue, and (3) a man should have a say in how that very sexual part of his anatomy looks and functions.
The influence of American culture on southwest Ontario is, like it or not, strong.

West of the continental divide, the most forward looking part of the USA, RIC has become a minority of choice among young parents. One day, American pediatricians and obgyns will agree that RIC is indefensible, and the American Bald Penis will die out.
