Getting there is only part of the equation; making sure you don’t piss off the locals is where the excitement begins.

Getting Lucky Abroad

Who hasn’t heard of people going on holiday and being swept off their feet?

Whether you only have a brief fling in mind or something which you might be open to “continuing” after the vacation, I guess I can safely assume that most would be open to some holiday romance.

So you pass the initial getting to know you stage with no cultural faux pas to speak of… ready to go hot and heavy (after all, isn’t that what holiday flings are really made of?) and then you discover that there are some differences in your culture and his, after all. A falter in your step, as you get the first sight of his uncircumcised (or circumcised, depends on who is looking) errmm, manhood.

The facts (girls, take note!):

Circumcision is performed for religious, medical or CULTURAL reasons. Some do and some don’t.

The majority of males are circumcised in the following countries, in most of which the predominant religion is Islam, which endorses circumcision: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cameroon, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria, Niger, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Republic of the Congo, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, “Somaliland”, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkey, “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus”, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.

In other countries where circumcision predominates it is endorsed by religion (Israel) or by local custom or tradition: Philippines, Samoa, South Africa, South Korea, Togo, Tonga, The United States and Vanuatu.

And in most European countries, circumcision is NOT performed. Circumcision rate is generally estimated at 10-15% but this rate varies from country to country.

Be prepared for what you might encounter!
