Intact-friendly
Intact-friend and foreskin-friendly are terms used in the United States, where circumcision has been generally practiced, to describe health-care providers who are knowledgeable regarding care of the natural penis with a foreskin.
The extraordinary ignorance of many American health-care providers regarding the human foreskin, a natural body part, makes these terms necessary.[1] It is said that the only thing doctors learn in medical school about the human foreskin is that it is to be cut off!
It is very common for American doctors to forcibly retract a young boys non-retractile foreskin, thereby causing great injury and pain.[2]
