What's the general opinion on the whole topic.
I'm circumsized, because I had a small foreskin for my penis. I personally like it, but can't remember anything else (I was 4 when I lost it. FYI, I lost it in Hong Kong.)
Is it better or worse for sex or is it just preference. Also what would you think if you were about to have sex or a play and you just came upon it?
Hmm,
Lawton.

And now I shall get flamed to death for my opinion on penises.
The uncirmcized version, if I've read my_name's post right.
my_name at the end of the day thats your opinion you shouldnt get slated for it!
tell that to the last thread of this (would you ever guess that kermit was in on it )
I should explain myself more, I don't mean they are bad and laughable in general, its just I've no experience. Its quite uncommon. Its just something I'm not used to and therefore I find quite funny looking. (to make the un cut men not think i'm a bitch )
You're entitled to your opinion but I do think that if you lived in any other western country your views would not be so extreme. America does seem to have an obsession with circumsising every boy and I think that affects the views of the people in the country.
I'm lucky enough to have parents who allowed me to make my own choices, and i'm glad they did. I think they whole practice is a little barbaric and medically unneccesary in most cases. Unless there is a real problem I think there is no need to remove the foreskin. Every girl i've been with have preffered me this way, but then again, if they did have a problem, they know where the door is. I wouldn't expect a girl to have the hood of her clitoris removed.
yeah I heard that too, which is another reason i'm glad I haven't had it done.
Ive been with a girl before whove had never been with a circumsized man before and for awhile was puzzled by the shape of my dick until she confronted me about it and explained to her that it aint only Jewish men that are circumszed.
Mine has those small bumps too. I think theyre pretty standard.
These days, having bits of a boy's body trimmed off for no reason (apart from medical like extreme phimosis etc) except to 'be like daddy' is tantamount to child abuse. It should be up to the child to choose whether they want their bodies modified when they are old enough to understand the physical/sexual implications of the operation. In the US, this procedure makes millions of dollars for the medical profession and it is so easy for them to perform that they are very resistant to upset the 'gravy train'.
The sooner US women insist that their baby boys are not carved up for nothing more than an uneducated, misinformed ridiculous cultural fad, the better. Surely even the smallest danger of your child dying from this procedure is NOT worth the risk!
Before you have your sons circumcised, attend a circumcision of another child - and I am sure you will be appalled!
If the penis does require circumcision for medical purposes, then that is fine by me although these days they can sort out most problems with cortisone creams etc.
**Helen**: I have removed the pictures as they are not relevant to this discussion and are disturbing.
** Teagan ** Fair enough ... the truth can be disturbing. People can private me for the links if required ...
And in answer to your question, it's happened, there is nothing you can do about it (although you can embark on a foreskin restoration regime) so don't get hung up about it. I personally like circumcised cocks so would never be disappointed to see one ... I like uncircumcised one's too although less keen on those where the foreskin dos not pull back when erect - but that is just a personal preference.
They usually do look different (especially when flacid) .. but research has shown that girls can't normally TELL the difference during intercourse ...
I only agree with it when an adult decides they want it done (for their own reasons) or if it is a health problem as a baby/child
That adds to my point. To some it may seem pointless, but it wouldn't be as cute natural
What was the purpose of cutting the tail off that dog? Making it go through an operation it was not benefitting from, go through the pain of having a part of its body removed? To please the human eye? Thats like saying "hmm im gonna remove a leg from my cat because i think it would look better"
All dogs look better with tails, in my opinion. And they should all keep their tails unless it gets injured and needs removing or something.
So long as the person is fully informed of the risks, and able to give consent etc, I don't have a problem with it. What I do have a problem with is routine infant circumcision. It overrides the bodily integrity of the infant and the overwhelming majority of them at that age are unnecessary, as says the AAP.
**Helen**: LiveJournal link removed - content too disturbing.
Yes. You can't deny that we live in a culture based on looks. They cut my babies tail and ears to make it cute. They cut penises so your not the butt of every joke in the locker room.
If I ever have a boy, I, and the man agrees, have him cut on up, no thoughts or doubts about it. For me, purely and simply because, here, its pretty much the norm.
If cutting off tits were common, I'd sure hope they did mine.
But in all honesty. I just plain don't care. I like uncut. I'd get my kid uncut. I'm glad my man is uncut.
I guess circumcision just isnt that common in Europe. I dont know anyone who got their child circumcised or even thought about it unless for medical reason. It baffles me why someone would get that done to their precious child.
And what do u loose (original post says they lost it in Hong Kong)
They cut the top part of the foreskin off.
www.cirp.org/ (granted I have no idea what this site is, its actually blocked, but it was the first thing to come up when I did a search of it.
So that makes it alright?
I have to say thats a fucked up attitude.
