@chegroovin Will 2 Change is a wonderful, challenging, important book. I quote it in a recent essay. I am sure that notions of sexual conquest being admirable are ingrained in many male subcultures. I was trying to see how generalizable that was among my followers as it wasn't my experience      fuente

This book by Janice Boddy is so deeply researched, sensitive, wise, and magisterial. Anyone interested in so-called Pharaonic circumcision (what Egyptians, as I understand, call Sudanese circumcision as it’s not so common in Egypt) should read it, along w. Ellen Gruenbaum’s work      fuente
