Foreskinned is Forearmed?
As the happy owner of a bobbed banana, I'm having a little trouble seeing why Greg Dervin of San Francisco State is so upset about the foreskin he lost at his bris 24 years ago. Dervin is founder of Students for Genital Integrity, a campus organization against genital mutilation. And, while his organization is also against the unarguably horrible practice of female genital mutilation, Dervin's crusade against routine male circumcision seems personal. "Yes, I'm pissed," he says. "I was denied a whole sexual experience. I was robbed. The experience should be my birthright." About two-thirds of American male babies are still routinely circumcised.Mrs. Dervin? Is there any chance you gold plated and kept Greg's foreskin? He wants it back.
