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!

And I'm pretty sure I've seen studies about HIV rates in the developing world being lower for circumcised men, but there are certainly disputed reasons for this, like cultural teaching, marital status, whether the men visit sex workers, etc.
