A snip by any other name?
Imagine being born circumcised. Apparently, that is something of a common claim.
Dirk Taljaard, manager of the Bophelo Pele project - a male circumcision research centre at Orange Farm near Soweto - has heard this claim one too many times.
The length of the foreskin varies among men and does not always fully cover the head, leading to the perception among those with a naturally shorter foreskin that they have been naturally circumcised. “I’ve heard this many times, not once,” says Taljaard.
