51stcenturyfoxFollowing 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 08:08 am (UTC)I mean, all the guys I've had sex with were Jewish, the other majority in my country are various kinds of Muslims and the only men I would think would be uncircumcised are Eastern European immigrants which I didn't sleep with at the time and the last time I slept with someone who has a cock was four years ago... so... yeah.
But yeah, I actually quite like the detail if it's part of the describing the cock in detail and if it's missing from someone who comes from a country/culture/religion that doesn't require cutting I'm going not actually going to think about it, until I think about it. Because my automatic assumption is "no foreskin".
Which I agree is odd and a bit sad.
