I've read some of the other introductions, so I thought I'd like to share mine with you all. I was circumcised as an infant at about 2 weeks of age according to my mother. I don't know why they waited so long, but I've wondered since I found out about it why they bothered at all. My dad was cut, but both of my grandfathers were intact (one was Italian, the other Canadian). I didn't see an intact male until I was 12 years old: another boy in PE class, but at the time I thought he was just different. It wasn't until I was a freshman in high school when I learned about it in Sex Education. From that day on, I felt that I had been robbed. I went through all of the emotions of wondering why and what if, eventually I just accepted that it was something that I couldn't change. After I was married, my wife and I started our family, and our first-born was a boy. I adamantly refused to allow my son to be circumcised, and my wife supported me completely, we both believe it to be unnecessary and barbaric.
A few years ago, I found Jim Bigelow's book "The Joy of Uncircumcising," which I read with great interest, and have had several false starts at restoration since. (I gave the book to a friend who was having doubts about having his son cut.) This time I am very serious, and no matter how long it takes, I intend to regain what was taken from me so long ago.
