I genuinely hope the man I marry is uncircumcised.

No, love. Circumcision wouldn’t end if women did this and it’s extremely ignorant of you to make a statement like that.
-
If no circ’d men could get laid? If all women scorned mutilated penises? It would end immediately.
-
Gay men exist honey. And you shouldn’t punish grown men for mistakes that their parents made and they had no part in. That’s not forward moving at all.
-
Some gay men can & do also state a whole penis as a preference or requirement in a future partner. Doing so doesn't "punish" anyone. This isn't Huxley's Brave New World where "everybody belongs to everybody else."
-
You can't expect people to act as if they might enjoy sex w/a certain type of body part when they're convinced (for whatever reason) they won't. When that kind of brutal honesty is necessary, the message is better delivered asap, not when clothes are coming off.
-
You might say the polite thing to do would be to invent a little white lie to avoid hurt feelings ("it's not you it's me"). And if the problem was almost anything else, or if you knew he was firmly against circumcision, I might agree w/you. The trouble w/that approach...
-
...is that he may never learn there's a downside to being cut, & you can't underestimate a cut man's tendency to rationalize it. A polite but firm rejection for that reason, as painful as it might be, could end up being the thing that ultimately saves his sons from being cut.

Great post Amanda, re message & argot. 'Intact' is correct. One dude wrote, "I am no more 'uncircumcised' than I am 'undecapitated'. 'Uncircumcised' ironically normalises mutilation of the male body part.
-
Exactly! People don’t go around saying they are unmastectomied because they haven’t had their breasts removed. They don’t say they are unenucleated because they haven’t had their eyeballs removed.
-
Absolutely. 'Unenucleated'. Brilliant, who sez one doesn't learn something new on Twitter! :-)
