Show Notes
“When I joined therapy, [foreskin] was what I was most scared to talk about. I was shaking.”
This week, Andy is joined by Georganne Chapin, Founding Executive Director of Intact America, and Willy Kaye, a circumcision survivor, to discuss the history and myths surrounding the very American medical procedure of circumcision.
We start by taking a 12 question True/False quiz about circumcision, foreskin and the science around it. From there, we talk about Willy’s trauma for having a circumcision and Andy’s trauma around not having one, and the shame and irony that boys and men everywhere, intact or not, are uncomfortable to talk about this issue. But it’s time to talk about it.
PLUS!
-did the guy (Dr. Kellogg) who invented corn flakes popularize circumcision to prevent masturbation?
-is this all about money? (yes.)
-what is the intactivism movement?
-how circumcisions took doctors and rooms away from COVID-19 patients
-how the medical industry doesn’t take a stance on this issue and puts the burden and pressure on the parents
