   I talked to the other NPs at the practice and they all say they retract.

   Fast and without warning was a very poor choice of words. Gently and efficiently with no unnecessary conversation in order to minimize embarrassment was what I meant.

   Is Camillia right? Does doing it that way (fast and without warning) reduce embarrassment? Also, have you encountered any problems with retracting the foreskin routinely? Because a lot of people here seem to be against it.

    I'm a NP (meaning I can do physicals), and the standard physical form I've seen from schools and camps has a "Genitourinary (Males Only)" box. And I live in (and went to school in) an area with a very high circ rate, so I don't remember it ever bein...
