RE:When were you cut and why? And what are your thoughts on it.

I was born in 1949 and was circumcised at birth, as were my subsequent brothers. It was a "cultural" as well as a "medical" thing at the time. For Aussies and NZers circumcision became normal after WW1 due to problems men had had in Egypt and Palestine. However that attitude changed in the 1970's and 1980's. So by the time my sons were born, we were strongly advised against this unnecessary procedure.
Personally, I wish I was intact.
For boys born now and during their developmental years I would ensure that they were well educated on keeping the foreskin area clean by retracting it daily as they bathe or shower. Also in the sex education classes to be aware of the pro's and con's so that they could make an informed and educated choice later in life, if necessary.
