Re: come on...

...your aesthetic preferences are certainly not more objective than mine.... I make no such claim. On the contrary, I suggest that aesthetic preferences are largely socially constructed and the attempt to attribute objectivity to them is pernicious. I attacked the notion that the glans is ugly, not the argument that circumcision is bad. I spoke of exposing the glans very specifically in the context of "[p]ulling back the foreskin, if it is still there." I recently encountered a piece of man-boy erotica in which the boy performs fellatio on the man. Initially, he pulls back the foreskin, but the man objects that this is painful. So the boy sucks him with the glans unexposed. This struck me as an odd reaction on the part of the man. I had thought fellatio on an intact penis generally involved exposure of the glans. I would be interested to know if I am wrong about this. (I have gotten into the habit now of asking AI about stuff, since the responses are in most cases useful. I did so in this case. Please feel free to try your own inquiry, but my AI asserted that "performing fellatio on an intact (uncircumcised) penis usually involves the exposure of the glans.") hugzu ;-p
