I think that may have been an idea at one time with NOCIRC being an umbrella organization. I see a lot of groups being started up with all going in different directions and with different goals. I think this actually fractures the movement and prevents us from putting together any significant programs simply because none of these organizations are large by themselves and don't have the fund raising ability that a large organization would have. I can envision a "United Way of Circumcision."

Unfortunately, putting together an organization such as this is easier said than done.

But both are worth doing.

Kim: Thank you. I doubt very much that you are alone. The pain can be alleviated and the complications are rare, besides meatal stenosis which is common at 10% and should get mentioned, but if you remove an erogenous zone you remove an erogenous zone. It happens and it does not matter how nicely it is done or how many other consequences there are or aren't it is still what you have done. And all circumcisions do.

Breeder: Thank you.

I wanted to thank you again, James. Your thoughts and suggestions have really helped me focus on the strongest argument we have. And I think being able to keep it simple will help me. I feel empowered to bring it up more frequently and to more people. In fact, I might be doing so tonight!

You're welcome, again.

As an intact man it is simply the most immediately obvious, to me. It is easy to get lost in the sheer quantity of data so just latch on to the most pertinent point, which is pleasure. Pain as well, but that can be alleviated to some extent. Just hone in.

Unfortunately the most obvious way of going about intactivising {targeting parents-to-be} is lacking in that every decision is a consequence, in the context of culture. So that needs altering and whenever and wherever you can shift the views of those around you you should.

So good luck tonight! ^.^
