Uncut explores the significance of the foreskin in contemporary culture

The uncut penis is viewed by some as attractive or erotic, and by others as ugly or undesirable. Secular parents of male infants worry about whether or not the foreskin should be removed so their little boy can grow up to look like dad or to avoid imagined bullying in the locker room. Medical experts and public health organizations argue back and forth about whether circumcision is medically necessary, while intactivists advocate that removing an infant's foreskin without their consent is mutilation.
