THE GREAT CIRCUMCISION DEBATE. Yesterday young Ezra tried to bait me into the multi-blog circumcision and male sexual pleasure conversation. By today, the bloggers writing about this and related topics (Ross Douthat on smegma, anyone?) had, um, mushroomed to such an extent I feel compeled to say that I can’t imagine any conversation I’d less want to have with my male co-workers in public than this one they are now having with each other. Also: Y’all straight boys should know better than argue with a gay man — the conversation was initiated by i>The Atlantic’s Andrew Sullivan — about male anatomy.
