The Foreskin

One of the toughest thing to explain to my little nephew is why do some people circumcise ... I have to answer because he came back from school wanting to know why his friend did it.

My nephew cannot accept religion as an excuse and he didn't get it anyway, so I told him it's easier if the boy is without the foreskin.

"Easier for what?"

"Easier to aim ... "

Of course we ended up arguing and laughing why the foreskin is the most useless piece of skin ever to develop in the history of the male anatomy. The eyelids is for protecting the eye and shut off the lights at bed time, the lips is for kissing and wetting your stamps, but the foreskin ... doesn't serve any purpose isn't it?

And where does the foreskin go after that? It's the same old question I ask about decaf coffee .. where does the caffeine go? "You know, in China, they'll eat anything " ... But quite unlikely, 'cos I still see those ex-Eunuchs' testicles hanging around the temples ... Or maybe it's re-cycled into some skincare or anti aging products, like what they do with sheep's placenta.

For me, I don't really like the idea of trimming my little ...I think it won't feel comfortable when I am wearing my ballet leotards also .. And with the underwear, I get double protection, but without the foreskin, it's back to one. Plus it feels like it has been shortened artificially, and men would rather drink chlorine than to have it shortened.
