There are several threads and postings floating around the general discussions forum about circumcision. While I don't support circumcision, I do have a funny story to tell. It wasn't appropriate for those threads, and I was wondering if any other guys here had similar experiences.
The story takes place in Pre-School. I was around the age of four or five. I remember my mother used to always stress to me that, when I took a bath, that I should always wash "down there" because if I didn't it'd turn black and fall off. (Nothing strikes more terror than that into the heart of a young boy. :P) Now, being circumcised I had never seen an uncircumcised penis in my entire life up until I was in Pre-School. There I was standing at the urinal next to another boy named Aaron. I glanced over and... OMG, his "pee-pee" didn't have a "head!" I was horrified, and became convinced that my mother was telling the truth and that this boy Aaron hadn't washed himself properly, and that it had turned black and had fallen off.
I seriously believed this story to be true throughout virtually my entire childhood. It wasn't until I had access to porn - gay porn - that I learned what circumcision was and what an uncircumcised penis really looked like. Yet, it still took me awhile to put two and two together and realize that Aaron just had a foreskin. :blush:
It's an embarrassing but funny story. Needless to say, "down there" is always rather impeccably clean. Neither Aaron nor my mother knew how much of an impression they left on me regarding cleanliness. :P
