Heh. On a side note about circumcision, one of my roommates is cut and he actually had to go to the hospital once when the scar split open during sex. He's lucky she wasn't positive.

CRINGE

TripodMillenium: Personally, I'm ok with being cut.....

My skin is strong enough not to come apart like that.... :blink: >_<


And, I&#39;m WELL sensitive enough as is..... if not a little too much......


I&#39;m not sure I&#39;d be able to put up resistance in an unwanted situation if I were uncut..... It would be difficult as is...... :mellow:

Johnb, I have a *very* difficult time believing that.

Unless he&#39;d been recently cut -- stitches still in or healing -- it&#39;s impossible. If as you claim, his skin split, that would mean that anyone who&#39;s ever had surgery is at risk years after said surgery.... from appendicitis, back surgery, face lifts, knee surgery.... Oh, and belly buttons, too would be popping out all over the place.

Don&#39;t buy it.

I was left whole at birth because my father was. Then it was determined that I have hypospadia. So I was cut at the age of 14 as part of the "corrective" surgery. All they did was remove my skin no real correction. Since then I have had to have my penis cut on two more times. For one I wish I had had the choice of being cut or not. I would have kept it all. The minor inconcenience of extra cleaning is nothing to the value of the foreskin.

 

[KinkGuy]

I&#39;m cut and there is an area of my circ scar (right side of penis) that is very prone to what I guess you could refer to as "abrasion". The skin in this area seems somehow thinner? than the rest and I have experienced bleeding and scabbing if I&#39;m not adequately lubricated. Odd, when I am soft, I have some loose skin that rolls up a little behind the ridge, but when erect it becomes quite tight. When wearing a condom, lubricating the inside is a must. Can&#39;t jerk off without lube either. Maybe that&#39;s similar to the above situation, more than "splitting" open? Way over my .02 limit.

 

[jonb]

Well, he was very tightly cut. That&#39;s the problem.

 

[prepstudinsc]

Well, I&#39;m cut, not very tightly, though, I still have my frenulum, and I&#39;ve had no problems. I don&#39;t know what it&#39;s like to have my foreskin, I don&#39;t have any nicks, no skin bridges or anything, so I have had no problems with being cut. As far as I know, it&#39;s great being cut and I personally like it.

 

[D_Barbi_Queue]

From a girl&#39;s point, I can certainly say that sex was pretty damn pleasurable with an "uncut" compared to most "cuts". (Not quite going all the way to say it was definitely better since I married a "cut" and that wouldn&#39;t be very wifely of me to admit that I didn&#39;t marry the best lover ^_^ - but you get the point)

On the other hand, since "daddy" was circumcised, we did the same for our 1st son and will most likely do the same for our second.

(Damn I love this WordWeb - thanks again Pappy&#33

While I agree that it&#39;s not something that should be done to someone who can&#39;t decide it for himself, it doesn&#39;t bother me that I&#39;m cut. Occasionally I wonder what it&#39;s like to be uncut, but I&#39;m not bothered by it. And I think guys who go out of their way to restore their foreskin are obsessing over it too much.

I personally, resent the hell out of the fact that I was cut. I&#39;ve never had skin covering my glans as God intended, so I can&#39;t offer any intellectual comparison, but mountains of data support the fact that circumcised men has significantly less feeling in their penis. Infants have no decision in the matter and the pain, barbarism and narrow minded attitudes combined with the lack of information most parents have (or have bothered to research) is what pisses me off. There is no medical basis for the butchering of baby boys. Other than for religious reasons which I acknowledge, this hideous practice really should be halted. Just watch a video of a circumcision and you will grab your crotch and cringe in terror. It is horrible and done without anesthetic of any kind. Whow, climbing down off soapbox now and offering apologies to membership. :mellow:

Similar to aloofman; It doesn&#39;t bother me immensely that I was cut. I do, however, occasionally wonder what it&#39;d be like to be natural. But considering that he&#39;s been remarkably reliable (after much more than the manufacturer&#39;s 100,000 mile warranty), and has given me an extreme amount of pleasure (and to others), I have zero complaints.

I&#39;ve seen a video of circumcision. I agree with KinkGuy that it&#39;s probably the most uncomfortable things I&#39;ve seen, and shouldn&#39;t be done at-will.

 

[jonb]

If you think that&#39;s bad, a kiddie porn bust in Glasgow turned up, among other things, a video of a circumcision. I&#39;ve heard of liking them young, but a day old?

 

[ponybilt]

Eeeuw.

I did indeed do research before having my son circumcised and I made sure the doctors used an anesthetic before performing the proceedure. Most of the research I read was slightly in favor of having it done. Having said that, I also realize that the American Academy of Pediatrics acknowledges that while it does have some health benefits, those benefits aren&#39;t "significant enough to recommend routine circumcision". On the other hand, I haven&#39;t seen anything to say that there&#39;s more health benefits to keep one uncircumcised either. I&#39;d rather be safe than sorry.

I also chose to do it b/c since I live in America and the majority seems to be circumcised, I didn&#39;t want him to face being ridiculed in the locker room b/c he was different. (I had to deal with some of that myself growing up - obviously not from being uncircumcised, but something else) It was also important to my husband and I that our son not be different from his daddy either.

I am by no means trying to pick a "fight" with you KG, but I just wanted to defend myself. ^_^

 

[jonb]

Hey, between circumcision and militant Zionism (The current administration would be considered far-right even in Israel.), I&#39;m convinced the US just wants to be Jewish. Of course, most Americans are still too shellfish to be kosher.

Texass, circumcision, like many things about child-rearing, is something that a mother must decide for her child before he is old enough to voice his own opinion. I applaud the obvious amount of thought you put into your decision, I daresay most think about it far less, and I think your reasons were sound ones. Not having had the experience of talking to men here on this site, I&#39;m sure I would have done the same thing if I&#39;d had a boy, although I would probably make another decision now. I think as a good mother you just wanted the best for your child and that&#39;s a wonderful reason to do anything.

 

[ponybilt]

Very insightful, not being a parent myself. It&#39;s a part of the process and I wish more were as thoughtful about educating themselves about circumcision before jumping in. It&#39;d still take place, just not as much probably.

Well, TexAssgirl, you proved my point&#33; Thank you. The point was; you made an informed, intelligent decision based on research and discussion with the boy&#39;s father. Ultimately you made the choice based on what was important to your family. What more is there? No fight here.

damn, i was looking forward to a good mud-wrestling match. ha/ha

Bigus Dickus: :wacko: Ok, I&#39;m a Canadian, born 1967 in Toronto. Dad was uncut, but at the time, studies seemed to show being cut was healthy and clean. Bid deal, I don&#39;t get this butchering of little boys idea? Parents have to make choices, some are hard some, easy...I doubt many moms and dads circumsized their kids with no thought about it ( be it religious, culteral or purely for "looks".

BY the way my wife and I decided against cuting our two boys...I&#39;m not so hung up on this "gotta look Like dad" idea.
Hopefully they both will gets Dad&#39;s endowment&#33;
Still I&#39;m biased...I thik cut looks better&#33;
