Age 25. Over the past 40 years it has come to be accepted, often only silently, that when a woman leaves home at the end of high school, she will discover and experiment with her sexuality. We humour this as long as she insists that the men she “tries on for size” use condoms. By age 25, she is expected to settle down and commit to a single partner. The years between 18 and 25 are precisely the period when a woman is allowed to compare and contrast cut and uncut, and the number of women who have made this comparison is set to grow over time. What a woman does in her bedroom between 18 and 24 is not held against her in later life.

I have been told a half-dozen times that intact men never get BJs. I have been told that to expect a man to rinse off his johnson before getting close and personal with a woman is to expect too much. It is evident to me that behind the American obsession with making the penis bald lie a host of unstated urban myths and the like.

God is a woman who designed the penis for sexual comfort, not for looks. The notion that God looks kindly on those of us who have had trimmed the long sleeve on the short arm is absurd on its face. Circumcision is a human custom grounded in bizarre fetishes and a sad ignorance of how Nature intended foreplay and vaginal intercourse to work. Circumcision will die because bold and educated American women are rediscovering how sex and foreplay are supposed to work, and using the internet to share with the world what they have learned. Circucmision is untenable in a world where women are free to experience both cut and uncut before 25 years of age, and blog about it anonymously.
