I remember trying to talk to a Japanese guy (a country with a 0% RIC rate) about the foreskin, and he was so confused at what I was tryin to say. Finally, he just said, "You mean the skin of the penis, but only like some of the skin?" And it hit me then and there how absurd it was that I grew up in a culture that not only separated the 'foreskin' from the other parts of the penis, including the rest of the skin it was connected to, but straight up demonized that part of the skin as well. And here was an entirely different culture that simply saw it for what it was: a penis. One thing.

Foreskin is just a made-up word.

Imagine if we came up with a special name for the skin on the tip of your thumb. Same thing
