More Support for Intactivism
Here's a fun link with current American film stars who are intact (most actors born outside the US are intact, of course). I was pleasantly surprised that many of my favorites were here: http://www.circumstitions.com/Famous2a.html
And here's what John Leguizamo says about choosing not to circumcise his sons:
Playboy: Justine is a Jewish mom and you're a Latino dad. Was there ever any debate about circumcising your kids?
JL: Actually, no. We talked about it, and I said there's no way they're going to be circumcised, and she was totally cool with it. It's a beautiful thing. Back in history, so was lip plates and all kinds of piercing and neck-stretching, but I think to the modern world, it's not medically necessary at all. Actually, from what I've read, guys lose feeling by doing that. I want my son to have all the feeling he can have. Growing up in New York City, a lot of my friends weren't circumcised, and my dad's not circumcised and none of my family members are circumcised, so to me that was normal. When I saw some white kids circumcised, it looked like a mutilated monster. I thought someone had done a Frankensteinian surgery. It was weird to me...it was really bizarre. Leo DiCaprio isn't. I never saw it, but he told me.
