Off like a foreskin
2025-10-16
Ouch! Not the prettiest way to begin... no apologies are necessary. This is my space. I'm therefore only answerable to myself for questionable expressions.
My progress in writing novel eight is moving along. I'm nearing the completion of chapter three in POM II and this is making headway, for me. Typically, I'm a slow starter due to my need for laying down the first ten chapters in as precise a fashion as possible. So where does the notion of foreskin come into play, you may be wondering? It's obvious to me. Cutting off skin is no different than cutting out extemporaneous verbiage in a new novel, similar to the foreskin being removed on male babies.
Like I said... ouch!
Besides, it's an infinitely more important subject to discuss, than blogging about writing, which I will from time to time, without making my posts solely about writing, which would be boring. You may uncross your legs and show me your foreskin. Seriously. I don't care whether a man is cut or not, only that he's clean, and makes the effort to take care of himself, similar to how the majority of women feel about potential bed-mates. We prefer our intimacy to role out with another individual who is groomed, if only partially, to present as cleaned-up, rather than rolled up in a filthy carpet, holding inside a pile of dirt and dust with food stuck between their teeth.
But I'm going to digress again, and focus on the male organ. Truly, there are far more profound subjects to discuss, though perhaps none as interesting as male body parts. Circumcisions have been the subject of controversy for centuries. In this modern age, they're still commonly practiced in the United States, Canada, South Korea, and some African countries, but rarely in Europe, South America or Asia. Circumcisions are a necessity for Muslim and Jewish males and, many pediatric associations promote the potential health benefits to circumcision.
If I had a willie, which I don't, I'm not so sure I'd agree with this sentiment.
You cannot Google the word foreskin without images blurring your vision of the male appendage, detailed cartoonish images that depict the surgical procedure. I dated on and off for years a man who never had the surgery as a young boy, and he never saw the value in getting one as an adult. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference when he was ready to rumble. When any woman makes that face, to demonstrate her ick, upon seeing a man who hasn't been circumcised, I want to push her out the door, for her stupid judgement. A baby doesn't make this choice, when it's thrust upon them vs an older man electing to get the procedure done to please a woman. If this is how she's treating you, then I suggest you need to get yourself a new lover, before you make her your girlfriend or wife.
The practice in some countries of genital mutilation of young girls continues, whereby the clitoral bulb is literally hacked off, sliced away with a dull blade, as family members force the young girl to spread her legs wide to prevent her from protecting her body. Female circumcision isn't the same as male circumcision. With males, the frenulum (that most sensitive area which delivers pleasure) isn't hacked off vs with young girls where the cutting or removal of the vulva means she won't feel the pleasure that comes from this body part. The vulva's clitoris has over 10,000 nerve endings, and this makes it highly sensitive. So in effect, performing this procedure on girls isn't comparable to what's performed on young boys. One biology student pointed out to me that it would be analogous to hacking off half the man's member, were he to be treated in similar fashion to how young girls on treated in some countries. The the Continent of Africa wins for the largest share where these surgeries are performed, over 144 million, with Asia coming in second at 88 million. These grotesque numbers are staggering to me, more so when I consider the unsafe environment in which these surgeries are often performed.
And, while many countries are quick to denounce these procedures, the medical community admits it will take centuries to eradicate these practices.
Returning to the foreskin... to keep or cut?
I recommend that you have this conversation before you decide to have children, because young baby boys are not given the choice. Many of these surgeries being performed in countries (Iraq, Indonesia, Iran and Yemen) are leaving boys permanently traumatized with botched surgeries.
Writing is hard, but cutting out the clunky passages in a new novel is child's play in comparison.
