This marks the end of day 7 as I prepare to lay down for the night. Since I've started this whole restoration thing I have found that I have become very well aquainted with my penis. I have come to admire the color, shinnyness, shape, and subtle folds, creases, and lines. I think that I have literally fallen in love with my phallus. It deserves praise and respect as it is the part of me that begs to be worshiped. It is the part of me hidden from the world that begs to be free. And most importantly, it is the part of me that begs to be as it was meant to be, protected from the harshness of man made restrictions i.e., clothes. When I emerged from the womb, my penis was hooded, protected from the elements, safe from the harsh inevitablity of diapers, underwear, and pants. Before it had a chance to claim it's victory over these things it was mutilated, forced to expose it's protected gift. Millions of nerves gone, veins and lubricators cut away, forcing it's sensitve, vulnerable glands to calus, and canternize, become tough and dull, and oblivious to the natural cleansing, lubricating and ferimone rich secretions that were meant to be.

I am bitter that my foreskin was forcefully taken from me without my permission and more so because I didn't have a chance or choice in the matter. I can only imagine what could have been.

Think about this: removal of the foreskin causes many things negative to develop in the penis.

1. The size of the penis in it's final state, both length and girth, are stunted. What may be 6 inches circumcised fully erect could have been closer to 8 inches if not circumcised. And the thickness greater.

2. The amount of skin removed at birth seems minimal, no more than maybe 4 square inches. That skin of a full grown male is actually 15 square inches. In other words, it is nearly 50% of the overall shaft skin.

3. What doctors say it prevents when advocating circumcision is greatly inaccurate and unfounded. They boast that circumcision greatly prevents the spread of STD's, namely HIV, but what infant do you know having sex? Also, they say it lessens the possiblity of penile cancer yet there is NO proof to back this up. Truth is by removing the foreskin you greatly INCREASE the risk of many of these and add the possiblity of greater infection in the open wound.

4. The foreskin has many many purposes such as protecting the glans, lubricating for sexual intercourse, preveting friction during intercourse, extending sex play (preventing premature ejaculation), releasing ferimones, cleansing of the glans by removing dead skin cells, and on and on. For something to have so many reasons for being how can it possibly be okay to just chop it off?

And finally,

5. If it were a female, it'd ne the equalivent of removing the clitoral hood and the whole of the inner labia. Enough said.

So as I lay down to sleep, I have a new found respect for my penis and every other penis on this planet cut and uncut alike. But also I have a new found motivation to see this through to the new beginning. I will have a foreskin again. Maybe not as great as the one I was born with, but at least 75% as good I hope. This is a life goal worth pursuing.

For those of you contemplating having sons or are do to have one, please take all of this into consideration before you decide to disfigure your child. Is it really worth the resentment later in life? Is it worth the physical and psychological baggage it creates later in life? Is it really necessary to do what the doctor feels is right just because it tacks on another $2500.00 onto his pay when you're billed? Oh, you didn't know the doc gets fat paid for that legalized child mutilation? Yep, they do.

Stop condoning this. Stop male infant gental mutilation. It's illegal to circumcise a female so let's just call it equal rights. Give the boys the same protection you do your precious little girls. After all, if it wasn't meant to be there we wouldn't be born with them. Damn the reasons the doctors give. It's all just Money in their eyes.

Blessed Be.
