Kevin:
I’ve just finished a viewing of Drawing Flies and enjoyed it for all the reasons you yourself mentioned in the brief prologue you staged with your colleague, Scott Mosier.
I did find your prologue a little unexpected and unusual (and that’s good), as well as your impromptu remarks on cut and uncut cocks.
Just to set the record straight, though, it’s generally known and well documented that routinized genital cutting (RIC) of baby boys in this country was prompted historically in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in an effort to discourage or eradicate masturbation—something viewed as a disease and moral evil by people like Mr. Kellogg of, yes, Kellogg Foods fame! RIC has ever since continued as a lucrative surgical procedure in search of a reason—and, specifically, a medical reason. As a matter of contemporary fact, no reputable medical establishment underwrites or advises RIC today. The upshot? Well, for one thing you and your colleague enjoy altered cocks for no reason whatsoever except someone sometime thought you might masturbate less, or someone else thought you’d be cleaner or smell better, or someone else thought your cock would look better cut—what you wanted or thought about the whole thing didn’t matter.
And that’s the skinny on your lost skin: not smegma, not nothin', just someone decided for you it would be that way.
