History PlayingWith / CircumcisionAngst

'''Basic Trope''': Angst about being uncircumsized.

* '''Downplayed''': ???

** Bob has joined a religion where apparently ThePowersThatBe care about whether a man has a foreskin or not.
** Alternatively, self-consciousness (whether about foreskins or anything else) is a fact of life; Bob just happens to be self-conscious about this particular thing.

* '''Deconstructed''': Due to lack of uncut males in his life, Bob never learns to properly wash his penis, which leads to a life with frequent discomfort and absolutely no oral sex ever.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob gets over the angst, and he learns to keep himself clean and comfortable. Because he is confident and clean, his {{Love Interests}} take notice and give him plenty of "loving attention" regularly.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Sometimes Bob feels self-conscious about his foreskin, other times it doesn't bother him.

* '''Invoked''': Bob reads Literature/TheBible and starts to wonder if {{God}} still cares about foreskins or not.

* '''Defied''': Bob doesn't let others' opinions regarding what his penis looks like faze him.

Back to CircumcisionAngst

* '''Double Subverted''': Bob feels awkward about his uncut penis, until he meets a girl who despite his expectations isn't grossed out. He is happy until she dumps him. Later he gets to know she secretly always hated Bob's foreskin-ridden thing, but was too nice to complain.

* '''Justified''': Bob has joined a religion where apparently ThePowersThatBe care about whether a man has a foreskin or not.

* '''Inverted''': Bob feels like a cripple and is angry at his parents for having his penis cut when he was a baby.

* '''Averted''': Circumcision issues are never handled in the story, or the story is set in a world where circumcision is unheard of.

* '''Invoked''': Bob reads TheBible and starts to wonder if {{God}} still cares about foreskins or not.

** Or the cast consists of [[PinkBishoujoGhetto females only]], or creatures with no penises or foreskins.

* '''Reconstructed''': Bob gets over the angst, and he learns to keep himself clean and comfortable. Because he is confident and clean, his {{Love Interests}} take notice and give him plenty of [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean action]] regularly.

* '''Enforced''': ???

* '''Exploited''': Bob brings up that question in his Bible Study class or privately with his pastor, and the consensus seems to be that, yes, God still wants his men to be "marked" (that is, cut.)

* '''Discussed''': "Bob, you need to get over with this silly wangst. No matter what the wild stories in your porn mags say, most girls really don't mind whether you're cut or uncut as long as you're cool with youself."

* '''Inverted''': Danny moves from USA to Europe, and begins to feel awkward about being the only cut male around.

* '''Parodied''': Bob is certain the weird skin flap thing "there" is a malformation or maybe cancer. He goes to see a urologist, who gets similarly worried because even he has never seen an uncut penis.
