Default Circumcision

Was listening to the WS discussing circumcision, apparently the global rate is something like 30%, whereas in the Phillipines it is 98% - performed just before puberty *ouch*. Apparently world rates changed after the 1950s, somehow it doesn't fit with my observations. Most of the men I know have been circumcised, it could be something to do with age, so I thought I would ask the panel...

Vote often and early - don't wait til puberty

When you say "men I know" do you mean in the biblical sense?

How many we talking here?

An Englishman's foreskin is his own private affair.

I am, probably because it is fairly normal in South Africa (and other hot countries).. My eldest son had his done when he was 6 weeks old.. The youngest is yet to have his done (just gone 8 weeks old)..

My mate's son had to have it done around age 13 due to it being too tight, so my mate decided to show him it wasn't that bad and had it done himself..

I am tired of andyw, some teenager who pestered this board, now immortalised because everyone talks about him every single f'ing day.

BTW I was looking at the F4J book yesterday, are you in it?

Reminds me of one of my favourite insults:
