http://whatimmissing.blogspot.com/2011/06/what-im-missing-part-4.html
There are a lot of misconceptions about circumcision. This blog addresses one: "He'll never know what he's missing.". Friday, June 17, 2011. Part 4, Animated feature. All of a sudden, this big graphic of a penis came on the screen. It looked kind of like an architectural drawing. Naturally, that got my attention. How often do you see a drawing of a penis in school? The narrator continued. "The foreskin, or prepuce, is removed, exposing the glans." And the foreskin part of the drawing separated fr...I tho...

There are a lot of misconceptions about circumcision. This blog addresses one: "He'll never know what he's missing.". Thursday, September 22, 2011. Part 29, Ignorance. My friend OtherKurt, one of a handful of other Kurt's I've known in my life, at the age of 27, didn't know that he was circumcised. Here's how he found out that he was:. Now at this point in my life—I was 27, same age as OtherKurt—I think I had only ever discussed my negative feelings. Anyway, I didn't know how to respond to this consumeri...

There are a lot of misconceptions about circumcision. This blog addresses one: "He'll never know what he's missing.". Monday, August 22, 2011. Post 27, Loyal listener. Spokesdog Ladybug debunks the hygiene argument. Good news. I tracked down a copy of Ed Wallerstein's book, Circumcision: An American Health Fallacy. I guess it's just as well I didn't find it right away. I got a lot of positive feedback about my digression into the events surrounding Disco Demolition Night. So Steve moved around, but I alw...

There are a lot of misconceptions about circumcision. This blog addresses one: "He'll never know what he's missing.". Saturday, August 6, 2011. Part 25, Disco Demolition. I've always been more of a glam rocker. This was going to be an in-depth analysis of Ed Wallerstein's book Circumcision: An American Health Fallacy. But it appears that the only copy of it at my library has been misshelved. Therefore this will be a post about the death of Disco. Then the cops just started busting people for no reason at...

There are a lot of misconceptions about circumcision. This blog addresses one: "He'll never know what he's missing.". Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Part 15, Marvin Gardens. Do you remember a move called "All That Jazz"? Roy Scheider plays this chain-smoking, sexually compulsive choreographer? It all seemed very avante garde. And you never know how long the game is going to last. Me, I'm a bargainer. I think Bargaining is my Marvin Gardens. (I read in Sidney Harris' column years ago that Marvin Gardens i...Of co...

Once on Christmas morning, she scared off a small group of evangelists by answering the doorbell in a chiffon nightie with a Bloody Mary in her spare hand. All my friends said the same thing about my mom: "I feel like I can talk to her about anything.". And I'd think to myself, "You know something, I wish you wouldn't.". He talked to her to...

There are a lot of misconceptions about circumcision. This blog addresses one: "He'll never know what he's missing.". Sunday, July 31, 2011. Part 24, The Jews. A fortuitous library book sale find. Until that night, sitting there drinking BEER on the couch in B.'s dorm, the closest thing to an explanation I'd heard for the 90 percent circumcision rate among my American-born peers was a vague insinuation that my mother had made. You know why we're all circumcised, right? Of course I didn’t know why w...

There are a lot of misconceptions about circumcision. This blog addresses one: "He'll never know what he's missing.". Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Part 23, Saying it. Life as I know it now: groggy at 7:45pm. I consider it my great good fortune to have started college right around the time American retailers began experimenting with generic products. Remember generic products? And he pulls out a six pack of white aluminum cans, and on each can is printed in big black letters "BEER.". All that year, me and B&...
