> Nope, Dave, circ isn't a bad thing when phimosis (or call-it-what-you-will) is complicating your life needlessly. Afterwards your glans is somewhat less sensitive, but again this is not necessarily a bad thing--some guys think it's a good thing. A Frenchwoman who was dallying with one of the Rothschilds asked him, "How do you feel being a circumcised Jew?" (Many of the French absolutely abhor circumcision, and look at Jews askance because of it.) His answer was, "Great!
