Who'd have thought that such a small, seemingly insignificant piece of skin could be the cause of so much vitriol and hate.
I have no problem with cocks being cut or uncut. It makes no difference to me. What I do disagree with is that kids are being cut. The parents are taking away the option of them choosing for themselves. Don't get me wrong, I think most parents to a fine job of making decisions for their kids, where to live, whether or not to have them vaccinated, whether they're breast fed or raised on powdered milk, things like that, but I can't agree with decisions to make irreversible changes which are of dubious benefit to an infant's body.
Where do you draw the line? Do you have your baby's appendix cut out just in case of appendicitis? Do you have all their teeth pulled so that they don't need to worry about dental caries or getting braces? Do you get your baby tattoed because you have tats and want your child to look like you and it will hurt less if done in infancy? You could even have the same designs inked onto him to make sure you look alike. Do you get their nipples or penis pierced because you have yours done? To be honest, I think if any parent did ask for their child to be tattoed or given a genital piercing, that child would probably be in care within hours of social services finding out about it and the parent would probably be facing child abuse charges.
When it comes to sex, there is less friction on penetration as the penis slides within its own sheath of skin, rather than rubbing against the walls of the vagina or ass or whatever it's being thrust. Yes, you have that to a certain degree with looser circs, but in most cases, you end up with skin-on-skin friction, which is more likely to cause damage to both partners.
As for hygiene, kids are taught to clean their teeth. It's a hell of a lot easier to soap and rinse a dick than it is to shove a brush into your mouth and clean your back teeth, so if a boy can be taught to do that, he can be taught to keep his cock clean. It ain't rocket science.
On the subject of STDs, people should be taught to use condoms all the time during sex unless they're in a committed monogamous relationship. It's not that difficult to do. I'd see that as a more responsible parenting decision than having your son cut at a few days of age. Buy your son his first pack of condoms and make sure he knows how to use them and isn't embarrassed to buy them for himself. You never know, it might save his life, as it's a much more effective way to prevent the spread of HIV and HPV than circumcision ever will be. It will also cut the spread of other diseases and save money for the healthcare system of whichever country you live in and also has the added benefit of reducing the numbers of unwanted pregnancies.
I've only ever had sex with one guy who'd been cut as an adult. He'd had it done for aesthetic reasons at 19 and was very happy with the look. So was I. He had a very good-looking dick, nice size, good shape. Couldn't fault it. I wonder if he's a member here now. If not, he should be. He did complain about reduced sensitivity but said that he didn't mind too much because he thought the look was worth the loss of sensation. The point is he'd made his own informed decision as an adult. The other cut guys I've had sex with seemed to be fascinated with my foreskin and loved to play with it and dock with it. I suppose it was a bit of a novelty for them. I don't know. However, I enjoyed the attention as I wasn't used to anyone making that much of a fuss over my skin.
I don't know about natural being best. For myself it is, but I don't have the right to make that call for someone else. I wouldn't turn a guy down based on his circumcision status. If a guy wants to get rid of his foreskin for whatever reason, that should be his decision, not his mother's or father's not a doctor's or his wife's or anyone else's, his. I would have to say that a partner should have some input into the decision, but, at the end of the day it's not their dick, but it's only polite to listen to their views and reasons. However, if you're telling your partner that he should get cut, be prepared for him to hold you responsible for it if he's not happy with the result.
