> Hi Marnie,

> thank You for posting, too. Let's start "talking"!

> As You know, I'm from Germany and here is RIC completely unknown (exept turkish people and jews, of course).

> For me it would be interesting to know, what a mother is thinking, when she decides to go for circumcision whith the child (is it the most normal thing, is it a special kind of care, ...) are you standing besides and look at this procedure performing?

> What are the feelings of a mother of a circ'd child, when You see his small, circumcised willy? Are You proud of it, do You think it is good for the future wife, do You think that he got propper health-care?

> Perhaps - or sure - this sounds if I would be anti-circ; but this is not true!!!

> I'm only interested in knowing these things, because here in Germany this procedure is not routinely performed. I can not talk about this, because no mother or father is doing so!

> I'm thoroughly convinced, that RIC is not only not a bad thing, there are different advatages! I had been very thankful, if my parents had decided to get me circ'd!!! (I got circ'd for different reasons, when I was 27.)

> But although this is my conviction I would not have the nerves to fight against all people around me and get a future son circumcised!

> Perhaps You understand my interest and can answer.

> Happy (cut) greetings from Germany
