Circumcised Naturists

This group is for all people who are circumcised or those (male or female) who like the way it looks and feels! You can chat, share experience or get in touch with others here who feel the same way.

Is the terminology "roundhead" for circumcised and "cavalier" for intact universal in the English-speaking world, or is it just British?

When I was at school, a boy conducted a small survey on this issue, asking every pupil he saw whether they were roundheads or cavaliers. In my naivete I thought he was referring to political sympathies in relation to the Civil War, and I replied Cavalier, which in the sense in which I now realise he intended was wrong. Of course, if he had been in my own class, he could have known the answer, because he would have seen me in the showers.

Those terms might be British. I cannot recall having heard them in this context in America.

Not in use at my grammar school (late 60s-early 70s). As far as I recall, we just used the word 'circumcised'.

Hi, entering a bit late in the discussion but I remember the terms well.

I went to an English boarding school late 60s early 70s and these terms were in common use. I would estimate around 30% of the pupils at the school were cut, some tight cuts some more loose. Always thought that the cut cocks looked better and so had myself circumcised as an adult. Certainly not regretted it.

This is a boy after my own heart - I did something similar at school and have carried this into my adult life, always trying to find out the status of friends!!

I was known as Roundhead at state school in the 80s/90s. Our sons have occasionally been called it but more often they get called Bell-end Boy. Peter

My close friends growing up were all circumcised, so we were all the same. Don't think I heard the term roundhead/cavalier till I went to secondary school, it was only then I realised I was in fact in the minority in the UK.
