Circumcision in Albania


“My boyfriend is circumcised, and it is so much nicer and more hygienic. He is Albanian, and there it is obligatory when they reach 14, when they get circumcised, and they are considered to be a man thereafter.  Interestingly he is not of the Islamic faith, but tells me it is simply routine practice there.  I guess they must be influenced by the Albanian Muslim tradition.  In any case, he says he is very pleased to be a circumcised Christian and would not have wanted to keep his foreskin into adulthood.  He feels he could not have had sex with a girl until he was circumcised, although I don't know if this was for practical reasons (problems with his foreskin) or because of cultural issues.  In any case, I think the nearly mandatory practice should be introduced here in Hungary, as unfortunately, many a men do not care about their genitalia as they should.”
