AVAILABLE INFORMATION
The three conditions are rarely mentioned, Many books dont mention the subject, (e.g. The Kinsey Report "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male")17 . Talking with nine men was more informative than over a hundred publicly available books in Birmingham and Hamburg, (on male sexuality, child care, psychology, medicine, urology and surgery, even anatomy books). The following examples speak for themselves. The Kinsey Institute New Report on Sex, says that phimosis and paraphimosis are infections18 . Desmond Morris tells us without any qualification in the best seller Bodywatching: "In fact circumcision has no medical advantages"19 . Dr. Spock's long term best seller updated "For The Nineties" says "It may take . . some boys . . until adolescence, to have a fully retractable foreskin, but this is no cause for concern."20 . Alex Comfort in The New Joy of Sex, is vague, but at least he appears to have heard something: "if you aren't circumcised, you need to retract the foreskin fully for cleaning purposes, and if it wont retract beyond the corona all round the glans except at the front, get it seen to . . If it . . is over-tight and gets stuck, get that seen to also. These are about the only things that are commonly wrong with a penis"21 . In the books which were reviewed none (excepting Dr. Porst and the Kinsey New Report), mentioned the frenulum ripping. |  |
