My wife is Korean, and it took me awhile to convince her that circumcision is a scam. I didn’t believe her when she said most Korean men are cut until I wore my glasses in a 목욕탕. When I told my brother-in-law, who got circumcised around 3rd grade, that our son wouldn’t be sliced, his reaction was “they still do that shit in USA?”

“They all shall have circumcision, for it is a sacred ritual to K-Manhood.”

…which dates from the 1940’s and could be seen as a product of American cultural imperialism.

I was circumcised in the United States by a Korean American doctor. It was extremely painful. Extremely. I still remember the moment when… *censored*. And I feel no shame about it, neither should my sons. They all shall have circumcision, for it is a sacred ritual to K-Manhood. But circumcising them as a baby is plain cruelty, and I believe it should be banned. Pain is only meaningful to those who can appreciate the meaning.

That article sounds like the stream of horseshit that Koreans have told me about 20 or so Korean dishes that are overpriced and supposed to be “good for man.”

alert PETA to do a NAKED protest in Beijing now.

They are wasting their time in New York City, America.

“Oh yes,” she adds, “the same group also ate an aborted reindeer foetus.

“That is very good for your skin. And here it is…”

Apparently, they are low in cholesterol and good, not just for boosting the male sex drive, but for treating all sorts of ailments.

Laughter trickles through the walls of our dining room.

“Government officials,” says Nancy. “Two of them upstairs. They’re having the penis hotpot.”

“Russian dog,” says my waitress Nancy.

“Big dog,” I reply.

“Yes,” she says. “Big dog’s penis…”

We are in a cosy restaurant in a dark street in Beijing but my appetite seems to have gone for a stroll outside.

Nancy has brought out a whole selection of delicacies.

They are draped awkwardly across a huge platter, with a crocodile carved out of a carrot as the centrepiece.

Nestling beside the dog’s penis are its clammy testicles, and beside that a giant salami-shaped object.

“Donkey,” says Nancy. “Good for the skin…”

She guides me round the penis platter.

“Snake. Very potent. They have two penises each.”

I did not know that.
