Circumcision
Do you think it would be better if boys were born without a foreskin as opposed to circumcising it? If so, why?

I am still awaiting nadine's answer to my own response, which so far, she has not bothered to respond to for some reason. I must therefore reiterate that if a woman actually knew what a male's foreskin was for in the first place, she would not feel the need to ask such an obtuse question in an open forum such as this.
But in all fairness to those, including nadine, whom do not know the reason a male comes equipped with a foreskin, the primary reason they do not know is because of the cultural biases held within their own culture's state of awareness regarding a male's penis, as well as the level of sex education their respective culture provided for them on this issue.
One's understanding therefore, lies purely within the difference found between one living in a culture that does NOT promote male circumcision nor makes circumcision readily available immediately after a child is born (Scandinavian countries), versus living within a sexually un-educated culture that ABSOLUTELY DOES encourage male circumcision as a matter of unsubstantiated, albeit standard medical protocol (all of North America).
When anyone, male or female, does not know the reason for a male's foreskin, I will only say that they have unknowingly deprived themselves of one of God's many Gifts to our human species. When we know better, we do better. But if we don't know of the difference OR are way too afraid to find out those differences for ourselves, then we become victims of our culture's status quo.
