Men, do you really believe that you were born with a defect?
​
Yes. I was born with a trait that's sexually selected against, largely, in American society.
​
Hopefully that will no longer be true when I have sons of my own. But in the time I was born, having a foreskin would have had a detrimental effect on my sex life. Good riddance.

Do you mean women wouldn't, uh, mate with you if you had a foreskin? Has that actually happened to any foreskin-wearers out there?
​
A number of them - most importantly the one I'm married to - have told me exactly that.
​
American culture makes some pretty clear images about what a penis is "supposed" to look like, and a foreskin isn't a part of that image. On the upshot I think that's a problem that won't be a problem in 10 years or so. I'll be glad when circumcision is a non-issue but I'm not mad it happened to me.
