Let's not forget all Jewish men are cut and most likely always will be. I'm not an expert in circumcision history, but obviously the practice began as a religious tradition before American doctors began performing the procedure en masse in the name of cleanliness.
... which would make it even less acceptable in any society with pretensions to civilization. religion is not a valid justification for ANYTHING - least of all premeditated assault upon newborn children.

I concur. Not justified. I'm just saying the practice is here to stay.

you guys are idiots. not only have you never expierenced being cut, you shove the thought that you are better for not being cut. unless you were cut and went through a restoration process or got cut as an adult you shouldnt be talking. the information is out ther about circumcision and people can read it. you talking about it wont change peoples minds it just makes me dislike people who are uncut for being ass holes. if the USA almost conciders making it so that orphans can only be adopted by people in there own culture then guess what its my culture to get cut. its a body modification just like tattoos and piercings. if you dont like that im cut then you can cut off your foreskin and staple it to my dick for all i care. its my body and im fine with it so go to hell.

Interestingly immoderate response. We don't tattoo babies, and I don't think we should pierce them. What does the statement "it's my culture to get cut" mean except "we do it for no good reason"?

I agree that there's not much can be done about men who are cut, but a culture of cutting babies can (and should) change, whether they're boys or girls. They used to do it quite widely in the rest of the English-speaking world. Now they don't.

No, there are different kinds of sensitivity. You wouldn't complain if you'd been left intact (see the poll) because you'd have learned to use what you then had. The nerves of the glans are mainly sensistive to pain, heat and pressure. The nerves of the foreskin are stretch receptors. When a guy is cut as a baby, he learns to get pleasure from what's left. My impression is that most of a cut guy's pleasure comes at the orgasm itself, and that from the release/relief. Intact guys get a lot of pleasure on the way: it's a slow ramp up, then falling off the cliff (or maybe a roller-coaster ride, with waves of orgasm), rather than running hard for a high jump, because - to switch the metaphor - we've got an accelerator pedal, not just an on-off switch.


They do it because they do it. Like the story about the wife cutting the ends off the breadroll.

I wouldn't doubt there is sensitivity loss from circumcision, but speaking for myself (and probably a lot of other cut guys), my pleasure is definitely not limited to orgasm. I love nothing more than a long, variable speed handjob, blowjob or masturbation session. When I have the time, I can edge for hours and experience orgasm waves without even coming.

Technique, passion, stamina have a huge impact on pleasure. I've had some pretty fucking hot sex with cut men. Uncut guys don't necessarily get automatic sensation bragging rights. Like all guys, cut or uncut, ya gotta know how to work your equipment to its full potential!

Case in point: As I write this my cock is literally leaking long strands of precum on the kitchen floor as I play with it and tease it while fucking around on the internet the past hour or so. And I'm not even close to letting myself cum. When I finally do cum I think even an uncut guy would be impressed.

I'm making the most of my hot cut dick. I rather like it, and the level of pleasure it provides. Perhaps ignorance is bliss, but I don't consider myself sexually deprived.

Technique technique technique. Practice practice practice.

cutting boys is a rite of passage in some cultures and to not do it would be taboo. depriving people of this culture would be wrong. its like telling a rastafarian to cut his dreads or asking an orthadox jew to eat pork. i understand what you are saying about cutting babies. but i totaly would rather be cut as a baby than some time later in life.
seriously all you are doing is making people mad at you. thus making me want to do what you are telling us not to do. its not killing me to be cut, people dont come up to me and are freaked out about it. its so imminiscule that i dont even understand why you rant about it. what happened to the good old days when men were men and didnt care about shit like this? if its all because of sensitivity durring sex then im proud to say that sex dosnt rule my life. i dont get into relationships thinking about sex so it making sex better dosnt phase me at all.

cutting boys is barbaric. There are a lot of rites of passage that have disappeared over the years and rightly so, oftentimes they endangered the life of the child or served to ostracize them from society if they failed the test. Circumcision needs to be the choice of the person it is performed on.

Here to a story about a father who brought his daughter to Somalia to be circumcised. He held her down while it was being performed. Here is a link to a story where 6 boys died from forced circumcisions in South Africa. As long as genital mutilation apologists like yourself continue to defend the practice, more and more children will be forced to suffer or die.

If you were in a country where circumcision is rare, which is most of the world, your exposed glans would be a source of horror to many people. Just because it's practiced here does not make it right and religion is no excuse.

There have been enough people in this thread who have questioned the logic of cutting baby boys, even a lot of jews and a few muslims. I realize that you feel it's perfectly normal and your resolve has only been strengthened to believe that circumcision is good but you and a minority of boys born today in the US are exactly that, a minority.

yess just like people who get tattoos. not many people have them and alot of people think they are stupid for getting them. if we keep protecting children from the bad things in the world they will never learn what they are. you link to pages of stories that happened in other countries but not in America. im sorry but all you talk about is how everyone should be the same and how we need to protect kids and stuff. seriously let people do what they want kids get hurt and die adults get hurt and die. im glad that you have pride in being uncut but let people have pride in being cut. damnit.

hhmmm,

the last post makes me think all the cut guys should be waving a banner and flag shouting "cut dicks have rights too! damnit" :tongue:

now, packing my jackass away.

although i am cut. i'm reminded of a song only with the words slightly changed.

"oh where oh where has my foreskin gone, oh where oh where could he be?"
cue up the lonely little foreskin shouffling along a desert trail with napsack in toe. :rolleyes:

yes you can smack me now, let me bend over first.

i do miss the shit though. fortunately i am looesly cut, kinda nice really.

zest

the boys probably had a clotting disorder, which probably would have caused tragedy at some point in their lives. It amazes me how much of an issue circumcision is on this board and how little anyone cares about it in the real world. while we're on the topic of barbaric operations, i think we should ban all cesarean sections because how dare the mother make the decision to deny her baby a normal vaginal delivery, along with the stress that will stimulate corticosteroid production and produciton of surfactant to prevent atelectasis

i honestly dont care that im circumcised. I dont believe it has interfered with my sex life one bit. My fiancee loves it, im happy with it and i think there are so many other things to worry about. I also find it funny when people claim "desensitization".....if you're overweight, prediabetes or diabetes you have a much higher chance of peripheral neuropathy from your diabetes ultimately leading to desensitization and impotence than from your being circumcised. Last time I checked it was over 56% of all americans that are classified as overweight or obese and the vast majority dont care

Yes that too. I recall from my days fucking women that without exception each one said they preferred circumsized cock.

the reason this topic generates so many head-achingly retarded arguments is that too many circumcized guys run with the (probably unconscious) assumption that an attack on neonatal circumcision = attack on their manhood = personal attack on them.

Huh? I never took it as anything of the kind. I just wish people would stop all the fuss. I'm simply glad I'm circumsized because I think (at least on my boyfriend and me) it's more attractive.

I've been with uncircumsized guys who are hot too... but again they need to be extra mindful of hygiene. And sometimes the head looks funny when they're hard. I'm glad I don't have to be that careful about the extra hygiene thingy.

I am cut and have never known any different. I love my cock:smile: and have no worries. Occassionally I might wonder what being uncut is like - but I have no ill-feelings or regrets. If I could rewind time, I would not ask for my skin back. BTW I am fairly loose cut and have no masturbation/sex issues resulting in too tight a cut.

i understand what you are saying about cutting babies. but i totaly would rather be cut as a baby than some time later in life.
As the poll shows, if you had not been cut as a baby, you'd be much more likely not to want to be cut later. And outside the US, you almost certainly wouldn't "need" to be, either.

seriously all you are doing is making people mad at you. thus making me want to do what you are telling us not to do.
That's called "cutting off your nose to spite your face" - except that it's someone else's, and not his nose.

its so imminiscule that i dont even understand why you rant about it.
Have you visited http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcc4XLfuimM yet (with the sound turned up)?

Sex doesn't have to "rule your life" for anyone to want it to be better rather than worse.

(There's a statistical fallacy in that: when you say "cut or uncut" you give equal weight to the uncut minority and the cut majority, discounting the much greater likelihood of happiness in the uncut minority.)

Your chances of getting a "happy as I am" outcome in the man are much greater by leaving a baby alone.

Extrapolating from the current figure, cut all and 46% will be glad - but the unhappy 37% can never be fully uncircumcised. Cut none and 80% will be glad - and the unhappy 16% can get circumcised if they want.

they cut girls becuause they dont want girls to have pleasure durring sex. but when they cut guys they still have some pleasure even if you say they dont have all of it. but if they are just cutting the hood of the clit then its just like a male circumcision but on a girl. but if they are cutting the whole clit off (the more popular thought of cutting girls) then thats totaly different. its like cutting off your dick head.

I'm not sure I share your sense of joy considering that approximately one-third of respondents throughout the duration of this poll (at the time of this post, 44/150) have stated that they aren't happy with their circumcision status. As the profusion of threads on this matter continues to make clear, this really is a very tangible source of concern/misery for a significant number of men.

I'm cut and I don't care. I like the way my cock looks, it's always worked just fine! However, I've always liked the way other men who are uncut look, although I haven't met that many.

I'm not circumised, but in a way I enjoy the best of both worlds as my foreskin is almost always retracted and it looks as though I'm circumcised. I do not have a very big foreskin- it never covers more than 3/4 of my head. What I enjoy the most about my foreskin is that it ensure a smooth ride when I'm masturbating.

I'd have to say that to look at, I prefer a circumcised penis, but to play with a foreskin is the best.

I'm happy with my foreskin and wouldn't change it.
