It´s Getting Cold Outside

Better cover up to protect the valuables!

I got this from a friend who thought it was better suited on my blog than on his own, and after laughing my ass off I totally agree with him!

Thanks to much, Apmel!

In SecondLife I use a huge sock for this, which I understand is the preferred way for the was majority of the "foreskinly" challenged American men to use for erhmmmm lets call it "self-satisfaction". That sock seems to pop up in every book I read, film I see and anything else where we can receive sociological knowledge about the habits of the current tribes in North America, the lacking of foreskin part at least.

I must say that to me the idea of using a sock seems scratchy and hurtful, but then I still have my foreskin so who am i to judge.

Vote Against Infant Circumcision

A truly inspired commercial for a man owning a circumcision clinic in the Philippines

My friend and co-blogger Eddi Haskell has started a vote for or against infant circumcision. Our debate started after a mutual friend and co-blogger Torro Spyker came out against infant circumcision on his blog The Bullring.

My own position on the issue, as I have said before, (so this is partly a  repost) is that mass-circumcision of infant boys is genital mutilation and child abuse. Admittedly there are a few cases when it is warranted by medical reasons, but otherwise I cannot see any valid arguments for this procedure being performed on infants.

In my mind this surgery should only be performed with informed consent on adult men. I for one would hate to have my foreskin removed, just saying.

(And yes, I totally agree that female circumcision is much more invasive and a more important issue to fight against, as it leads to more problems for the women later in life and also deprives them of the possibility to fully enjoy sex.)

As I have said already in a comment on The Bullring: "My position is basically a Human Rights one and can be boiled down to this.

Leave the children's bodies alone, both boys and girls. Teach them healthy routines to clean up their genitals on a daily basis.

...all the rest is religion and culture screwing up with nature."

 Now head on over to Eddi´s blog Eddi Haskell´s Second Life and tell us what your position is on this matter.


For me the only possible vote in this pole is "Yes", actually I would have preferred an option saying "Hell yes!"

On Circumcision

Today two of my favorite non-SecondLife blogs choose to raise the subject of male circumcision.

copyranter does so by showing a new Filipino commercial about a boys journey into "manhood" (boring add) but on a back link to an earlier post I found this truly inspired commercial for a man owning a circumcision clinic.

Joe.My.God. also touches on the same subject with a post about a San Francisco anti-circumcision group that has collected enough petition signatures to place a city-wide ban on the practice on the November ballot. The commenter's have gone wild on the subject of the pro´s and con´s of circumcision. There are more than 185 comments now.
