When my penis erects the foreskin does not retract, am I abnormal?

Author: Smoky

    The simple answer to your question is no.  You are not abnormal, you've simply never been circumcisized.

  from the penis.    Circumcision is the removal of some or all of the foreskin or (prupice).  (That skin that covers the "cap")  The word "circumcision" comes from the latin term circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut").

    The earliest depictions of circumcision are from cave drawings, though some pictures may be open to interpretation.  Male circumcision is a religious commandment in the Jewish religion.  And is recommended or obligatory in the Islamic faith.  It is also customary in some Christian churches in Africa including some Oriental churches.  Studies show that approximately 30% of males are circumcised, mostly in the Middle East and Africa.

    Opponents of non-therapeutic circumcision claim infant circumcision infringes upon the individual's bodily rights, is medically unjustified and it adversely affects sexual pleasure.  Circumcision advocates claim it is a worthwhile public health measure that has no substantial effects on sexual function, and has a low complication rate when properly done by a physician.

    The AMA (American Medical Association) stated in 1999: "Virtually all current policy statements from specialty societies and medical organizations do not recommend routine neonatal circumcision, and support the provision of accurate and unbiased information to parents to inform their choice."

Other health organizations, on the other hand, state that evidence indicates that male circumcision significantly reduces the risk of HIV acquisition by men during penile-vaginal sex, but also state that circumcision only provides partial protection and should not replace other interventions to prevent transmission of HIV, or other sexually transmitted diseases.
