Yup. When my youngest was born in late September 2001, a pediatrician remarked that he had a natural circumcision and therefore didn't requireone. I'm thinking she was maybe trying in some strange way to talk me out of having it done. Either that or she was an idiot about natural penises because he definitely has a foreskin long enough to come to a point at the end- so its all there!

As for it being detachable, my son's wasn't, and what a weird thing to say by your doctor. It CAN happen that babies are retractable but its EXTREMELY rare. Odds are, he has a normal foreskin and you should just let it be.

: boob job indeed

garbear, there are many variations of a natural foreskin. If you read around here enough to find this thread, then you may understand that I for one and many others here do not find anything natural about a circumcision; please refer to the definition offered by a previous poster.
