My mother has no need to know if my son is circed or intact.

Even if your son is circed, I doubt that your great-grandson will be.

Sensing victory, the pro-circ enthusiasts gleefully chirped it meant that “circumcised men have more fun,” are more creative, and have a more expansive libido.

2002, Terri Hamilton, Skin Flutes & Velvet Gloves: A Collection of Facts and Fancies, Legends and Oddities About the Body's Private Parts, St. Martin's Press, →ISBN, page 238:

For example, my own work was erroneously construed as "pro-circ" by a posting on the anticircumcision Internet listserv called INTACT-L (short for intact-list). "Who's this?" asked the participant. "Seems like pro-circ works in progress at DePauw University in Indiana. Any intactivists on campus?"

2006, Eric Kline Silverman, From Abraham to America: A History of Jewish Circumcision, Rowman & Littlefield, →ISBN, page 244:

Her husband was circumcised, and his family was very pro-circ — not for any religious reason, they just "thought it looked better."

anti-circ

The next morning I typed “circumcision” into Yahoo! Twenty-three site matches appeared. Many were the same affirmative reports I’d already examined, but there was also a promising list of anti-circ groups.

Guerin Woodgate Jr., 29, says he never thought much about his circumcision until he stumbled upon some anti-circ Web sites about ten years ago.

2007 July 12, Craig Malisow, “The Fantastic Foreskin”, in Houston Press:

Circumcision has been widespread as a routine neonatal procedure in America, resulting in an enduring clash between the medical community and the anti-circ (anti-circumcision) movement that hosts conferences, rallies, anti-circ days, and numerous Web sites.
