I.M.A.C. INTACT MEN AGAINST CIRCUMCISION Newsletter I.M.A.C. Press P.O. Box 355 Green River, Wyoming 82935 I.M.A.C. is an assembly of intact men networking to save infants and chldren from destructive genital surgery. We are joined together to help end the intense pain, trauma, terror and suffering which is a perversion called circumcision. As owners of this extraordinary structure, the prepuce (foreskin), we must speak out. As males who appreciate and understand the importance of wholeness, we must speak out. As males who are experiencing a phenomena which guarantees a lifetime of complete, sensuous, fulfilling, and normal sexuality, we must speak out. We have been mute too long, our voices must be hueard, we must share the truth that ownership of a complete primary sex organ is healthy and the subraction from that organ is destructive. The promoters of this primitive and barbaric infringement on the sanctity of the human body have had silence as their consort, including our silence, but we shall remain silent no longer. If we can break this silence, the broken minds can be silenced. We must educate. We are fighting against all genital mutilations, male and female. Our primary objective is male mutilation due to the fact that the 'rape' of male infants is a crime so common and irrationally accepted in the United States and, to a lesser extgent, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Other than England, Europe never practiced this dementia, nor did the rest of the world. Enlightenment came to England and they stopped this sexual attack on infants 45 years ago. Today, the only countries who openly practice and perpetuate the mutilation of a majority of their infant boys are Israel and the U.S. We realize that Female Genital Mutilation (FMG) is not confined to African and Middle Eastern cultures. There are many instances of FGM in North American and elsewhere. We must speak out on this terror and suffering and eliminate sexual bias by terminating the atrocities against both sexes. We included men circumcised without their consent who are going through years of dedicated work of "uncircumcising." We know it is criminal to have to spend years trying to create a facsimile of a body part that took only 10 minutes of terror to totally destroy. We include women with intact significant others and women fighting to protect the Basic Human Right of ALL people to ALL body parts. The time has arrived for those of us how are whole to empower ourselves and each other, to share our feelings, thoughts, and experiences. We can empower other men, circumcised and intact, to leave their sons natural. Some of us who felt bad due to a peculiar view of being, 'differnet' from most of our peers, have a new awareness and gratitude for physical, sexual, emotional, and mental wholeness. We are aware of our gift, and not only feel good about having whole bodies, but feel delightfully and naturally 'different.' We know that we possess a penis which is vastly superior to one which is irreversibly damaged through destructive surgery. We have deep compassion for our brothers who were forced to endure the abomination and its affects without THEIR consent. ALL of our voices must be heard to stop this tragedy from continuously repeating itself. We understand that circumcision has never been, and is NOT, a medical issue. There is no valid medical justification to substantiate any benefit. Almost all penile problems are iatrogenic (doctor caused), acquired after this destructive surgery is performed. We extend a sincere welcome to I.A.A.C.! The wholeness movement will be successful because compassion and truth will prevail. We definitely need each other, as do the infants who try to speak to us through their screams, unable to protect themselves. WHO? WHAT? WHERE? I.M.A.C. is a network of intact men. We are joined by restored and restoring men, women with intact partners, sons, grandsons and women fighting to end genital mutilations. We are a cross-section of mankind from all walks of life and most professions; from the medical, business, and educational world to engineers, housewives, and retirees. We live across the U.S. and Canada, and in Australia, and New Zealand. We are young (and not quite so young) men and women spanning three generations. We are committed to a gentle infancy without the pain, trauma, and terror of sexual surgery, nor the long-term spoilation of the penis. DID YOU KNOW....? 5% of the world's males are circumcised as infants and over half of all infant circumcisions are performed in the U.S.? That 70% of all circumcised men in the worl are Muslim, circumcised between the ages of 2 and 17, and it is not a religious requirement? That there is a female victim of genital mutilation for every five male genital mutilation victims in the world? DID YOU REALIZE....? The prepuce, shaft, and scrotum share common tissue? The underside of the penis from the commencement of the foreskin to the end of the frenulum. Chopping off this tissue affects more than the removal of the sensitive and protective prepuce and frenulum. It causes an increased unnatural tension of the shaft and disposition of the scrotum.
