- In my experience at safe-sex parties in Amsterdam, Berlin, and other
- places, I stand out as being one of very few circumcised participants.
- We usually have a discussion of this afterwards or during the break,
- about how `the americans' are. However, I don't know if I am spotted
- as an American because of that, or because of my abominable accent
- when I speak German.

- during WWII.
