Circumcision Not Recommended
It’s a deplorable fact that the majority of American men and women—including physicians—have only seldom, if ever, seen or touched a penis in its original, intact state.1 So it’s not at all surprising that some should look upon it as strange, or perhaps even peculiar. But in actuality, the intact penis with its foreskin is the natural one—the one which Nature wisely intended. It’s the circumcised, denuded penis that is peculiar—the “adulterated” one.
The foreskin evolved for a purpose: like the eyelid, it protects, moisturizes, and glides; like the lips, it is laden with fine-touch nerve endings; and like the nose, it is strange looking if you’ve not seen one before.
