You can't be this daft. There is a man in this thread wanting to cut his off because he thinks it is ugly. Now where do you think he got that idea from? Is it a natural state of being? No, it's sociocultural. There are thousands of intact males in the US SO SHAMED by their culture that they are getting circ as adults. So, when you are taught to feel SHAME over a body part all of your life, the resulting push is to then feel PROUD of it. I don't know how else to explain basic human psychology. I remember the boys mocking the crying ones, the shame they felt, the cruelty of adults around this issue. You may have grown up without it, and if you did, brilliant. So yes, when you have been mocked and hurt and humiliated over something, is the solution just to let it fester and do nothing? What else do you suggest someone affected by these issues do? If not self love, or pride, then what?
If we are going to get rid of the objectification of bodies and body parts, we cannot just throw out the positive ones, the negative ones must go too. And we're a long way from that.
Im neither proud nor embarrassed by my member or is cut state. There are an equal number of people that prefer one over the other and also an equal number that like the like of cut or uncut. Curiously, people feel the same way about body hair. While I "prefer" the physical appearance of cut over uncut, I don't discriminate between the two. I am however not in the least bothered that I wasn't given a choice in the decision to be circumcised. Circumcision was the norm back in the time of black and white television. In reality, I dont think about it, except when the subject comes up. Thirty years ago, I wouldn't have thought twice about whether or not to have a child of mine circumcised. Today, I would probably pass.

Right on target, could not have said it better myself!

I was in a private high school and all except two of us in my class were uncut. They used to make fun of me and my friend. Now, some of those friends that I still stay in contact with have boys and are uncut. I'm glad with to be natural.
I remember when I first started showering after PE in 7th grade, I felt some concern at being uncut. But as I think about it now, probably 60% were uncut in our rural area in the mid 50s. My dad showed me how to keep myself clean at an early age. I am very fastidious about cleanliness. I wear my foreskin retracted much of the time for hygiene but like the appearance both ways. I guess I can have the best of both worlds.
In an actual genuine nudist context no one gives a hoot. Nobody who is real nudist is staring or taking stock of that. They look you in the eye so nothing I ng to be embarrassed about. The preference for circumcised or not is a issue for you and any partners to discuss and explore.
