Parents, protect your babies. Support intactivism. This week features several videos that present the intactivist message.

YouTube Video: U.S. Administration Violates Human Rights
freedom0speech presents a compelling review of the US role in supporting male genital cutting for the misguided circumcision campaign against HIV. The real world results do not support the flawed studies supported by the CDC. Many African countries have higher HIV infection rates in areas where male circumcision is already high. Unfortunately, the Centers for Disease Control appears poised to instigate a policy supporting male infant circumcision. The video is a call to action for everyone to contact the CDC to tell them that cutting the genitals of infant boys is a human rights violation. Read more . . .

Stop Infant Circumcision demonstration in Washington, DCParents, protect your babies. Support intactivism. The following list includes blogs, articles, and websites of interest to Intactivists that were published in the past week. This is a running tally of the ones I found interesting.

This week marks the 40th anniversary of Van Lewis's arrest for intactivism. Van lewis and his brother were jailed in Florida's capital city, on 17 December, 1970, for peacefully protesting against infant circumcision while on the public sidewalk in front of Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. They were charged with disturbing the peace and spent a day in jail. Van continues as an intactivist.

Van became the Legislative Liaison and President of Florida's Chapter of the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers, a Certified Educator for Doctors Opposing Circumcision, and an active participant/protester in the Stop Infant Circumcision Society.

To mark the 40th anniverary, Van Lewis demonstrated against infant circumcision at the same place where he was arrested 40 years ago. Read more . . .

I'll take mine INTACT, please!

Lemons, ready for lemonadeTrying my best to make lemonade out of the lemons that have been handed to me has been challenging. As a 25-year-old woman I feel that I’ve had sex with more than my fair share of men. I stopped counting after 50 (but not much more than that), hence the metaphor above. Most of my experiences can be attributed to a lack of self-respect and the inability to tell someone "NO." I did gain control over my life as I got older though. The last 5-6 years of my life have been more "stable."

In making the "lemonade" out of my life, I have observed several alarming trends among nearly all of the circumcised males I have had intercourse with. I have also noticed a great difference between circumcised men and intact men regarding sexual experience and satisfaction. Overall I have found that vaginal intercourse with intact men was more pleasant and satisfying. Read more . . .

I Want My Foreskin for Giftmas

I Want My Foreskin for Giftmas bookLooking for the perfect holiday present for that someone special? How about a book? How about a book celebrating the foreskin?

I Want My Foreskin for Giftmas would be a unique gift. Author Carl J. Schutt wrote a book for adults that is an educational and eye-popping look at how one man searches for what was lost during his circumcision. He even has a sing-along video on YouTube.

The book is illustrated with cut paper and starts out with the verse

The first time I went searching
I looked under a rock
for that little ring of flesh
belonging to my cock.

The book is very colorful and would be great sitting on a coffee table. It is also a great conversation starter for those friends and relatives who are about to give birth and may be thinking of circumcising their newborn boy. Read more . . .

The featured page this week an undated article published in the Brooklyn magazine Stay Free!:

Stay Free!: Porn Flakes: Kellogg, Graham and the Crusade for Moral Fiber
A Brooklyn magazine article describing how sexual repression was promoted by J.H. Kellogg and Sylvester Graham in the late 19th Century. Their legacy lives with us as most adult men in the United States are circumcised, along with some women who had clitorectomies.

Women overwhelmingly prefer sex with a man who has a foreskin

Is he intact or circumcised in those pants?Men restoring their foreskin often wonder how women will react to their foreskin. Most men in the United States who are sexually active are circumcised. That means most women who are sexually active in the US are used to circumcised men.

But, there are some lucky guys out there who have their whole sex organ, that is, they are intact, uncut, and uncircumcised. Women who have encountered these intact, uncut, and uncircumcised men have been favorably impressed. Some of them are so taken with sex with a man having an intact penis that they blogged about it. Below are links to those blogs.

One thing to consider is that foreskins come in all sizes. Likewise, circumcisions come in all styles. I was tightly circumcised. When erect, the skin on my shaft was tight. My penis resembled a broomstick with a knob on the end. Every woman I was with was often sore after sex. And, I always had to use lube. Many guys who have a loose circumcision say they never encounter these problems. Fortunately, foreskin restoration gave me enough slack skin that my partner no longer gets sore from sex and I do not have to use lube.

what the muck!: Sex and the Circumcised
