On Kelsey&#8217;s blog there were some anti-circumcision activists going on about how sexually debilitating it, loss of sensitivity, etc.  And as is usually the case where there is an intersection between sex and halacha, I thought of you.  Now, there anti-bris crowd always has these anecdotals by men who&#8217;ve been cut as adults, who say that they&#8217;ve lost sensitivity, but I wonder, is there anybody who says that sex is just as good, if not better?  It would be pretty good PR.  Now, I&#8217;m not asking you personally: <\/p>\n<p>A.  Because if I recall correctly, I asked you on the night we met if you had an adult circumcision, but you&#8217;d been cut as a kid (is that possible, did I really ask you that within five minutes of being introduced?&#8211;we really were meant for each other) <\/p>\n<p>B.  Because I know you&#8217;re saving yourself until marriage.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you still might be the person to put the word out and see if anyone out there is willing to stand up and speak out for the bris.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, gut shabbos, and hope things are going well.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Deutsch writes: First of all, I don&#8217;t know if this is a reflection on you or on him, but I haven&#8217;t seen David Kelsey so excited since he got a mention from VDARE.
