Six days ago, <span style="background:#d7f5ff">I finally got circumcised</span> by Dr. Zarifa of London. he was very
agreeable and performed at my request what looks like it will be a 'total' circumcision (ie one that is tight when flaccid and the skin completely immobile and slightly shiny when erect, with <span style="background:#d7f5ff">public hair and the scrotum pulled onto the lower shaft</span>). The scar line is about half way down my shaft when flacid (I'm still trying to minimize erections so watch this space for later reports).
There is still some pain and swelling as I would expect, but everything seems to be healing ok. I'm taking a multivitamin and B and C suplements in order to help things along. I guess I'll start with vitamin E in a few days.
I had originally planned to go to David Cornell in the States, but my situationv didn't allow that. Nevertheless, as far as I can tell Dr Zarifa did an excellent job.
I'm really proud to be circumcised at last, and look forward to keeping everyone here updated.

| Text=Hi Vernon
Thank you!
Yes, I recall our correspondence. <span style="background:#d7f5ff">I find it difficult to believe that I would regret
something that I've regretted *not* having done since age 5!</span>
I'm pleased to report that it's now day 9. I've taken all but one of the stitches
out. The bruising has gone, and the skin has bonded well on the top and right
sides. Dr. Zarifa warned me that the skin would open a little due to the tightness,
and sure enough on the left and underside it has. He assured me that this would
fill in and become a neat line, so I am trusting the mysterious processes of the
human body to do this. I'm getting a couple of drops of blood from the frenulum
area from nighttime erections. The swelling is slowly going down, though it has by
no means gone.
Regards,
Jake

| Text=<span style="background:#d7f5ff">"For those of you who don't remember, I'm a 26 year old English guy. I was circumcised by Dr. Zarifa on the 21st of July, receiving a high & tight circumcision.</span>
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">Last time I wrote, I had a slight infection.</span> This of course cleared up quickly, and my penis had essentially healed at about week 6. Around this time also, most of the swelling had gone. The swelling has continued to disappear, leaving just a few slight 'bumps' under the incision, particularly where the skin parted slightly and the scar is wider. There is also a slight ridge following the line of the rim of the glans, but about a quarter inch away under the inner foreskin remnant. This too seems to be going, but very slowly. Did anyone else experience that ridge?
My scar is about one inch from the glans on the topside, and about one and a half at the sides. It looked at first as thought the left hand side was 'lower', but this seems to have become more even over time. <span style="background:#d7f5ff">The scarring on the underside is quite dramatic, especially where the 'v' shaped hole centered on the frenulum was. I don't mind. The scar is now starting to become more sensitive, especially on the
underside. When did you guys start to notice the scar getting sensitive, and assuming it is gradual how long did this process take to reach the final sensitivity?</span>
When flaccid and standing, the skin is smooth. When sitting down, there is sometimes a little wrinking or bunching. <span style="background:#d7f5ff">When erect, the skin is tight and there is no movement.</span> The underside is particularly tight. As the swelling goes down and the scar becomes more elastic, the circumcision when flaccid looks smoother and neater - effectively looking tighter.
I'm keen to see how it will look in another three months.
I am delighted to report that I am thoroughly enjoying my circumcised penis in every way.
Regards,
Jake

| <small>'''NOTE:''' The above message may seem gratuitious, but it's important to notice that Waskett's primary emphasis has to do with the appearance of his newly cut penis ... the "look" of the thing. This sheds light on the incident, whatever it was, which prompted Waskett to desire a circumcision by age five. Obviously it had to do with appearance, only, as at that young age Waskett couldn't have been aware of any "studies" which recommended circumcision.</small>

Thanks guys
As many of you know from my earlier posts, I am attempting keep at least some semblance of reason in a public, theoretically circ-neutral forum. I recognize that some people here don't see any point in trying this, but I do. People do go to that kind of place for advice, and I can't just stand by and let the
anti-circ lies get spread around. Maybe I'm an idealist fool.
Some (a minority) of them will stop at nothing to try to hide the facts. It's incredible how low they are prepared to stoop in their attempts to discredit. I'm currently defending us against these allegations:
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">"he's a member of circlist (and procirc) and we all know they masturbate to videos, stories and photos of children being circumcised."</span>
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">"You people are a disgusting bunch of paedophiles"</span>

| Text=he anti-circs don't seem to realize the damage they cause. In trying to stop RIC, they feel the need to say how amazing the foreskin is, so they quote all their figures about the blood vessels enough to go to Neptune and back (or whatever it is they claim this week) and so on -- all true I've no doubt, but they conveniently omit any kind of comparison to put it in perspective. Can you really blame someone who's perhaps a bit gullible, a bit immature, and (from my own observations) keen to find something to blame for their lousy life, if they take all this to heart
and figure that they missed out on this kind of 'sex organ of the gods'?
Of course, those who've grown up with a foreskin know the true story.

I think that you should consider how they will feel in years to come. Nobody can know for sure, but you and your girlfriend will be bringing them up, so you're in the best position to guess.
I'd say if you can put your hand on your heart and say that your sons will appreciate it, then there's no reason not to go ahead. But if there's doubt in your mind, I wouldn't advise it.
While 10 months is too young, <span style="background:#d7f5ff">it ought to be possible (if challenging) to talk to a three year old about this, and I think his wishes should be taken into account.</span>
That's my opinion.

When I first found Circlist.org (as it was then), I had just begun searching for information about circumcision. At the time I had been thinking about getting circumcised for some time, but I was hesitant and uncertain. I felt, as must so many of us, that I was weird, strange, and probably alone in the world for wanting what I did.
My early internet searches brought up the usual anti-circ tripe, and though I was naive I sensed even then that they weren't entirely truthful. I kept on looking, and then I chanced on Circlist.org. Here were testimonials and intelligent comments from hundreds of men who had done it! <span style="background:#d7f5ff">I read -- no devoured -- the site</span>, and in spite of my shyness filled out the application form to join the list.
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">I will never forget the feeling of not being alone, being among like-minded people. Circlist for me has always been a place to have intelligent, thoughtful discussion about circumcision, and a place to talk to like-minded individuals.</span> But, most importantly, its a place to return the favour, and help and advise those who are considering circumcision.
End of speech.

Many groups don't like discussion of infant circumcision here, because it's controversial. I think that's a mistake. as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy for it to be discussed and even debated here.

== Retirement ==
On June 2012, Jake Waskett retired his Wikipedia user account, and in August 27th 2012 he announced his retirement from the circumcision debate.
Jake Waskett's Wikipedia user profile (retrieved Oct. 2012) states:
Retired. This user is no longer active on Wikipedia as of June 2012.
On August 27th 2012, the following email was sent to the inter-circ Yahoo group:
[Inter-Circ] My retirement & the AAP's statement<BR>
FROM: Jake Waskett<BR>
TO: Inter-Circ@yahoogroups.com<BR>
''Monday, August 27, 2012 9:49 PM''
''Dear All,''
''Back at the end of June I made the difficult decision to retire from the''
''circumcision debate. I've been involved with it for nine years. It's''
''been very rewarding, and I've made a number of friends for whom I have''
''the greatest respect and admiration. But it has also been stressful,''
''and - like many of us who've publicly confronted the anti-circs - I've''
''had to endure vile personal attacks on a regular basis.''
''Today's announcement from the AAP is exactly what I hoped and worked''
''for: recognition of the beneficial nature of circumcision that is at''
''last explicitly stated, and a strong endorsement of the pro-parental''
''choice position. I'm delighted with it, and feel that it should help to''
''facilitate similar statements from other organisations in future.''
''So today is a good day. It's also a good time, I think, to announce my''
''departure to members of this group. I'm not leaving Inter-Circ today,''
''though I will at some point in the near future, but I do expect this to''
''be my last post to the group. All good things have to come to an end.''
''Jake''
Even so, Jake Waskett is suspected to still be lurking on Wikipedia behind the scenes, and he has been cited as an author in many papers with [[Brian J. Morris]].

Six days ago, <span style="background:#d7f5ff">I finally got circumcised</span> by Dr. Zarifa of London. he was very
agreeable and performed at my request what looks like it will be a 'total' circumcision (ie one that is tight when flaccid and the skin completely immobile and slightly shiny when erect, with <span style="background:#d7f5ff">public hair and the scrotum pulled onto the lower shaft</span>). The scar line is about half way down my shaft when flacid (I'm still trying to minimize erections so watch this space for later reports).
There is still some pain and swelling as I would expect, but everything seems to be healing ok. I'm taking a multivitamin and B and C suplements in order to help things along. I guess I'll start with vitamin E in a few days.
I had originally planned to go to David Cornell in the States, but my situationv didn't allow that. Nevertheless, as far as I can tell Dr Zarifa did an excellent job.
I'm really proud to be circumcised at last, and look forward to keeping everyone here updated.

| Text=Hi Vernon
Thank you!
Yes, I recall our correspondence. <span style="background:#d7f5ff">I find it difficult to believe that I would regret
something that I've regretted *not* having done since age 5!</span>
I'm pleased to report that it's now day 9. I've taken all but one of the stitches
out. The bruising has gone, and the skin has bonded well on the top and right
sides. Dr. Zarifa warned me that the skin would open a little due to the tightness,
and sure enough on the left and underside it has. He assured me that this would
fill in and become a neat line, so I am trusting the mysterious processes of the
human body to do this. I'm getting a couple of drops of blood from the frenulum
area from nighttime erections. The swelling is slowly going down, though it has by
no means gone.
Regards,
Jake

| Text=<span style="background:#d7f5ff">"For those of you who don't remember, I'm a 26 year old English guy. I was circumcised by Dr. Zarifa on the 21st of July, receiving a high & tight circumcision.</span>
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">Last time I wrote, I had a slight infection.</span> This of course cleared up quickly, and my penis had essentially healed at about week 6. Around this time also, most of the swelling had gone. The swelling has continued to disappear, leaving just a few slight 'bumps' under the incision, particularly where the skin parted slightly and the scar is wider. There is also a slight ridge following the line of the rim of the glans, but about a quarter inch away under the inner foreskin remnant. This too seems to be going, but very slowly. Did anyone else experience that ridge?
My scar is about one inch from the glans on the topside, and about one and a half at the sides. It looked at first as thought the left hand side was 'lower', but this seems to have become more even over time. <span style="background:#d7f5ff">The scarring on the underside is quite dramatic, especially where the 'v' shaped hole centered on the frenulum was. I don't mind. The scar is now starting to become more sensitive, especially on the
underside. When did you guys start to notice the scar getting sensitive, and assuming it is gradual how long did this process take to reach the final sensitivity?</span>
When flaccid and standing, the skin is smooth. When sitting down, there is sometimes a little wrinking or bunching. <span style="background:#d7f5ff">When erect, the skin is tight and there is no movement.</span> The underside is particularly tight. As the swelling goes down and the scar becomes more elastic, the circumcision when flaccid looks smoother and neater - effectively looking tighter.
I'm keen to see how it will look in another three months.
I am delighted to report that I am thoroughly enjoying my circumcised penis in every way.
Regards,
Jake

| <small>'''NOTE:''' The above message may seem gratuitious, but it's important to notice that Waskett's primary emphasis has to do with the appearance of his newly cut penis ... the "look" of the thing. This sheds light on the incident, whatever it was, which prompted Waskett to desire a circumcision by age five. Obviously it had to do with appearance, only, as at that young age Waskett couldn't have been aware of any "studies" which recommended circumcision.</small>

Thanks guys
As many of you know from my earlier posts, I am attempting keep at least some semblance of reason in a public, theoretically circ-neutral forum. I recognize that some people here don't see any point in trying this, but I do. People do go to that kind of place for advice, and I can't just stand by and let the
anti-circ lies get spread around. Maybe I'm an idealist fool.
Some (a minority) of them will stop at nothing to try to hide the facts. It's incredible how low they are prepared to stoop in their attempts to discredit. I'm currently defending us against these allegations:
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">"he's a member of circlist (and procirc) and we all know they masturbate to videos, stories and photos of children being circumcised."</span>
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">"You people are a disgusting bunch of paedophiles"</span>

| Text=he anti-circs don't seem to realize the damage they cause. In trying to stop RIC, they feel the need to say how amazing the foreskin is, so they quote all their figures about the blood vessels enough to go to Neptune and back (or whatever it is they claim this week) and so on -- all true I've no doubt, but they conveniently omit any kind of comparison to put it in perspective. Can you really blame someone who's perhaps a bit gullible, a bit immature, and (from my own observations) keen to find something to blame for their lousy life, if they take all this to heart
and figure that they missed out on this kind of 'sex organ of the gods'?
Of course, those who've grown up with a foreskin know the true story.
Soap-box over. Sorry guys.

I think that you should consider how they will feel in years to come. Nobody can know for sure, but you and your girlfriend will be bringing them up, so you're in the best position to guess.
I'd say if you can put your hand on your heart and say that your sons will appreciate it, then there's no reason not to go ahead. But if there's doubt in your mind, I wouldn't advise it.
While 10 months is too young, <span style="background:#d7f5ff">it ought to be possible (if challenging) to talk to a three year old about this, and I think his wishes should be taken into account.</span>
That's my opinion.

Although nowadays there are other pro-circumcision mailing lists, <span style="background:#d7f5ff">Circlist will always be *the* pro-circumcision list, at least for me. It must mean something different to everyone, but I will never forget finding Circlist.</span>
When I first found Circlist.org (as it was then), I had just begun searching for information about circumcision. At the time I had been thinking about getting circumcised for some time, but I was hesitant and uncertain. I felt, as must so many of us, that I was weird, strange, and probably alone in the world for wanting what I did.
My early internet searches brought up the usual anti-circ tripe, and though I was naive I sensed even then that they weren't entirely truthful. I kept on looking, and then I chanced on Circlist.org. Here were testimonials and intelligent comments from hundreds of men who had done it! <span style="background:#d7f5ff">I read -- no devoured -- the site</span>, and in spite of my shyness filled out the application form to join the list.
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">I will never forget the feeling of not being alone, being among like-minded people. Circlist for me has always been a place to have intelligent, thoughtful discussion about circumcision, and a place to talk to like-minded individuals.</span> But, most importantly, its a place to return the favour, and help and advise those who are considering circumcision.
End of speech.

Many groups don't like discussion of infant circumcision here, because it's controversial. I think that's a mistake. as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy for it to be discussed and even debated here.
My own position on infant circ is moderate, or at least I think so, anyway.

== Retirement ==
On June 2012, Jake Waskett retired his Wikipedia user account, and in August 27th 2012 he announced his retirement from the circumcision debate.
Jake Waskett's Wikipedia user profile (retrieved Oct. 2012) states:
Retired. This user is no longer active on Wikipedia as of June 2012.
On August 27th 2012, the following email was sent to the inter-circ Yahoo group:
[Inter-Circ] My retirement & the AAP's statement<BR>
FROM: Jake Waskett<BR>
TO: Inter-Circ@yahoogroups.com<BR>
''Monday, August 27, 2012 9:49 PM''
''Dear All,''
''Back at the end of June I made the difficult decision to retire from the''
''circumcision debate. I've been involved with it for nine years. It's''
''been very rewarding, and I've made a number of friends for whom I have''
''the greatest respect and admiration. But it has also been stressful,''
''and - like many of us who've publicly confronted the anti-circs - I've''
''had to endure vile personal attacks on a regular basis.''
''Today's announcement from the AAP is exactly what I hoped and worked''
''for: recognition of the beneficial nature of circumcision that is at''
''last explicitly stated, and a strong endorsement of the pro-parental''
''choice position. I'm delighted with it, and feel that it should help to''
''facilitate similar statements from other organisations in future.''
''So today is a good day. It's also a good time, I think, to announce my''
''departure to members of this group. I'm not leaving Inter-Circ today,''
''though I will at some point in the near future, but I do expect this to''
''be my last post to the group. All good things have to come to an end.''
''Jake''
Even so, Jake Waskett is suspected to still be lurking on Wikipedia behind the scenes, and he has been cited as an author in many papers with [[Brian J. Morris]].
