For USA born Uncut males only. Why were you left uncut?

[BigDoug]

Born in a small Texas rural town. Dads, uncles and cousins weren't cut so the baby boys weren't either--it just wasn't done. In middle school in California, I had to dress for gym class, and I was the only uncut one. Guys being guys, I got my balls
busted for being different and really hated not being cut. "What's wrong with it?" "Hey, it looks like an anteater/carrot!" I should have just popped one of them rather than just taking it.

I like being uncut now. Yes, some women say they wouldn't get it on with an uncut guy, but by the time you are both naked, she gets with the program, and most enjoy the novelty after they get past how it looks. I think that most of women prefer the way uncut looks, and you have to take the few seconds in the shower to clean it or you will never get blown again due to the odor if you don't. The one day of accumulated crud is pretty gross.

Bottom line that usually never gets discussed is that this "organ" covering the head of your dick isn't vestigial like an appendix. It is there for a reason, even if we don't fully understand all of its functions. Why cut it off just because it is there and some moms just like the way an uncut one looks?

Nnot to derail the thread, but the appendix isn't actually without a purpose either:

What is the function of the human appendix? Did it once have a purpose that has since been lost? : Scientific American

One can live without many body parts, but if there's nothing wrong with them, why amputate or remove them, especially for nonsensical reasons and/or without the owner's consent?

This (secular) American dogma that not to circumcise an infant is somehow "strange" or "wrong" really confounds much of the outside world.

Why are Americans so pre-occupied with having this done? There is no medical rationale for carrying out such a painful, traumatic and potentially dangerous procedure on male infants.

The question really ought to be (Jewish and Muslim beliefs aside), why are American parents agreeing for it to be done at all?

It cannot be for life expectancy reasons, since men live longer in most most first world countries than they do in the United States (where the male life expectancy is only 76 - that's 33rd place in the world!)

I suspect much of the reason it is so prevalent in the USA is because of the absence of socialised healthcare - i.e. private healthcare operators seeking to bill the American patient for as many profitable procedures as possible.

Almost no secular nation on Earth with socialised healthcare carries out circumcisions in significant numbers (in population terms), and no country in Europe advocates its introduction as part of public health policy.

In fact, in the United Kingdom (which leads the world with its socialised healthcare model), medical professionals argue that the rate of circumcision (13.5%) is far too high, is not required on medical grounds, and should be reduced below 2%.

Doesn't it strike the average American as curious that although there are more than double the number of men living in Europe than there are in all of Continental North America, some 88% of European countries have circumcision rates below 20%?

(The remaining European countries; Turkey, Albania etc have significant Muslim populations); in secular European countries like Spain and Denmark, less than 2% of men are circumcised.

No, it does not strike many Americans strange.
The AMA and AAP are propaganda machines. The medical community has been lying since 1870 about the benefits of circumcision, and covering up the problems.
Deaths and disfigurements and mutilations go unreported, or reported as something else. About a billion dollars a year is netted by the medical community for circumcision.
The head of the task force on circumcision for the AAP is a Jewish lady. She hired an ethicist who had been reprimanded for being pro female circumcision.
Most can't believe their parents would allow a part cut off them, if it wasn't beneficial to do so.

I'm not sure but I might be an unusual case. I'm uncut, and I was born in a Jewish hospital in New York City. Though my dad is cut, my uncle and grandfathers were all uncut. Both my parents didn't want me cut because they didn't think it was necessary. What's unusual is when I was growing up I went to a summer camp in Maine every Year from ages 7-15, and most people there were uncut. It was the same through high school (lots of Russians and Poles. Because of this I never got teased the way some uncut Americans have.

[wolfhunter53]

I was born in 1953 small town southern Il. I was first child and mom said she was horrified when the doc suggested it. I have never had a problem of any kind but I'm sure if proper bathing isn't practiced...well there you go.

My father-in-law was British and uncut. He told my wife that if we had a son, we shouldn't do it. My wife agreed, I disagreed. We argued. I researched it and changed my thinking. She was able to convince 2 friends not to do it to their sons. I have 2 sons, both uncut. I am cut (totally fine with it, btw), but my sons have commented that they feel sorry for me and think I look weird. So, because of my British father-in-law speaking up, 4 boys had their 'skins saved.

This is not a circumcision thread but a "not circumcised" thread. The majority of men in the USA are circumcised. We know, generally, why these guys were circumcised. The ones left with a foreskin are the question. Why? Why were we not circumcised like the rest? How come we were to get passed by in a place where "everyone was having it done"?

Yep. I just caught up with the thread, and it's too bad the first half of it got consumed with all the silly bickering. It tends to become an emotional topic but it really shouldn't be - "intact" advocates can make their points without having to wage an over-the-top crusade about it, and cut guys (and their ladies) shouldn't get defensive about it. Otherwise it's been fascinating to hear the various rationales guys have been given for why they were the exception.

I was born in Miami and left uncut, not too surprising since my parents are from Latin America and didn't ask for it. It's just not done down there unless you happen to be Jewish. There were definitely fewer of us in the high school locker room, but not by enough of a margin so that I ever felt strange about it - not to mention the whole point was just to take a quick shower and get dressed, no point in getting stressed out over 5 minutes of your day. One of my friends who was born in Portugal decided to get circumcised in his late teens because apparently he had issues with foreskin tightness or whatever - he had a rough month but afterwards was much happier with what he had, so that's really my take on it, that there is always the option to have it done when you can decide for yourself. I don't see the point of doing it routinely to infants, because you can always get it done when you're older if you are one of the exceptions that run into problems, just like getting a tonsillectomy or whatever. And last I heard, Europe and Latin America aren't having an epidemic of men with dick problems, haha.

I do wonder about how uncut straight American guys deal with the reaction from their partners. I've run into a lot of gay guys who, if they had any reaction at all, they got excited about my foreskin, whereas American women I know socially almost all say they find it "weird" whenever the subject comes up, and seem to vastly prefer cut. Hopefully that's changing now that their men are more likely to be uncut and they get more experience with that - I've noticed guys that I mess around with who were born in the mid-late 80s and later do seem to be more often uncut than what I first encountered when I started to be sexually active.

I do have to say it must be a pain to not be able to jerk off comfortably without lube, haha. But that is only the case for some cut guys, in my experience, and it is what it is. On the flip side, uncut guys have a responsibility (to themselves and their partners) to stay on type of their hygiene down there! I ran into one guy who had some issues in that department, and since it was a one-time hookup I didn't lecture him about it or anything, but I was so disappointed in one of my tribe making us all look bad, heh.

My mom said uncut cocks feel better for the chicks.

Well written Alonso

 

[sukmycock00]

Father is Hispanic and I'm the 3rd son with 3 different women....the first son was born to a very Hispanic mother so they never had my older brother circumcised....the second was while he was in the Army and overseas in Germany, where circumcision isn't common practice, so he was uncircumcised as well....I was born in America to a white mother, but keeping in tradition with the other sons, I was left uncut

 

[hornyguycam1992]

My mother is Catholic, and they don't practice circumcision.

 

[Kicker]

I am uncut, but my father and brother are both circumcised. I asked about it and was only told that the doctor didn't offer it, and my parents didn't ask for it. Odd, since my brother is cut. When I was in high school I was one of the only uncircumcised boys there. I heard some jokes about it and wasn't happy about it at the time, but in college I grew to appreciate my foreskin and now am very happy to have been left intact. I don't remember ever really having any girls think it was gross or anything, but most either didn't pay it much mind or greatly enjoyed it.

 

[Uncutsouthernboy]

Kicker, where were you born?

 

[Kicker]

Oklahoma.

My mother is Catholic, and they don't practice circumcision.

This is so totally not true.

 

[mandoman]

This is so totally not true.

Read the New Testament, Paul's letters to the Galatians.
It is absolutely true that Catholics are not supposed to practice circumcision.
That is ignored in the US, and sometimes Canada, but it is anti-Catholic to circumcise.

 

[Uncutsouthernboy]

No, it is not Christian to circumcise. Christians around the world do not circumcise. Except the Copts in Egypt, the Ethiopians, and Filipinos as a religious rite. Oh, then the Americans. All these Protestants that "follow the Bible to the letter" should not be circumcising. But they don't do many things the Bible says to do and ignore things that it says to do and some pick out some obscure verse and handle snakes and drink poisons.
