In normal parts of the world they think circumcised looks weird and deformed. Probably because it's missing a bit and has a strange scar. Probably because that’s what you have/are used to, Wes.

In a sane world, a preference for genitals with part cut off would be generally regarded as the weird fetish that it is.

I mean, really. On a side note: uncut pee-pees creep my out. No like! What does it matter if still works?

I mean, really.

Note especially the symposia. The proceedings of the last several have all been published in book form. FGC is an important issue at them - more especially the ones held outside the US. Hanny Lightfoot-Klein was at the last one. Absolutely real. Note especially the symposia. The proceedings of the last several have all been published in book form.

I run a site dedicated to FGM. This is the first time I’ve heard of the Genital Integrity ribbon. Is it a real campaign? Thanks.

Quite a remarkable proportion of people (men especially) seem to delight in phallic displays of one kind or another, whether it's "ethnic" carvings or jokey toys, like booze dispensers in the form of the Mannequin Pis (sp), that famous Belgian fountain. The os penis or baculum usually ends up in a bottle on its own in the pathology lab. They vary widely from animal to animal, but you'd never guess what you were looking at if you weren't told.
