What I've read indicates that the foreskin harbors the sexually transmitted viruses that are at least in part responsible for cervical cancer in women.
OK, smegma == bad.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Or, you could just STOP HAVING SEX, hussy!
Ya know, one of the reasons I got married was that people would stop calling me that!
I can't be a hussy for doing it with my husband!
Oh, honey. I grew up Catholic and spent 5 years in a freak-ass church. I can think of about 100 ways in which you're a hussy for having sex with your husband.
(I would be a truly dangerous person if I still believed any of that shit.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Jewish history. It's in the Bible. (not sure of specifics right now)
Not Jewish, but didn't Abraham circumcise himself at age 80 as a sign of his covenant with God?
OK, smegma == bad.
Yes, this factored into my decision for circumcision.

I can't even.

It's called basic hygiene. If you are capable of preventing a crud buildup in your ass, you're capable of preventing it on your dick. Not real challenging.

Gotta go with John on this one.

What is even happening?
It's in the Bible. (not sure of specifics right now)It was a sign of God's covenant with Abraham.
Oh, honey. I grew up Catholic and spent 5 years in a freak-ass church. I can think of about 100 ways in which you're a hussy for having sex with your husband.
I don't get this at all. I am so glad that was something I was never exposed to. For all my religious upbringing was strongly evangelical and bordering on fundamentalist where scripture is concerned, I never once got the message sex = bad.

Nora, assuming you both start healthy and remain monogamous, this isn't an issue. And I've seen that man of yours with you. Him? Smitten. You? Smitten.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
didn't Abraham circumcise himself at age 80 as a sign of his covenant with God?
From Bible.com
Genesis 17:10 - This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
Genesis 17:11 - You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
Genesis 17:12 - He that is eight days old among you shall be circumcised; every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house, or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring,
Genesis 17:14 - Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."
Genesis 17:23 - Then Abraham took Ish'mael his son and all the slaves born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.
Genesis 17:24 - Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

Not Jewish, but didn't Abraham circumcise himself at age 80 as a sign of his covenant with God?
Well, yes, but I dont' think that he was the first one ever to come up the idea. Was he?
Note to self: religion freaky.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I know the covenant with God story, that's not what I mean. I always had the impression, and this might be totally wrong, that circumcision was a thing that was done (maybe by very few people) before Abraham.
