Following today's fandom!secret on this topic, some questions about... foreskins!
Here's the secret someone posted:

Do they have a point? I was going to do a poll, but LJ is being very naughty about polls.
What are your thoughts? Should fic writers mention foreskins more often (for characters who are likely to be uncut?) Do you not need or want this detail? Do you assume they're there anyway, depending on how you imagine the characters and who they are? Is this something you've never really considered, either way?
Do you not give a hot damn?
ELVES? VAMPIRES? HOBBITS??? I don't even know.
Are you pretty sure Jack Harkness has a fiveskin? Because I am.
ETA: Thank you to my f-list (unlike the F!S thread) for not being judgey about people's parts. Every cock is pretty!

Date: 2010-02-05 06:39 am (UTC)I couldn't agree more. I've discovered kinks (fic kinks, at least) from writers who know how to bring it.
And I'm agreed; hearing about female circumcision, I think, has affected viewpoints about something people really didn't think about as often before.
My husband's cut, and he's quite sanguine about it and so am I, but it's really become something people think about more if they're making the decision instead of doing automatically. Which is really cool.
