Poll: Circumcision

[chuckman1]

I'm American and I'm not circumcised wait.....

There are, however, 'fun' drawbacks to being circumcised with some ridiculously high number of nerve endings in the foreskin making intercourse all the more fun. And whacking off too, to be blunt.

I'm circumcised, I dunno why, just am. Personally I don't see why it's so bad. I mean, it's not like I'm dying or any less of a person since I am. (I'm not Jewish either, so I know that's not it)

That might be true, but even if it was we still have drugs to fix it ; )

As far as my parents(one of which was a doctor) were concerned, circumcision was acceptable for all their male children.

I believe it has to do with increased risk of infections via less nooks and crannies to clean, as well as decreased risk in bleeding and contraction of diseases such as aids. On a lighter note it supposed to be visually more pleasing, though all the girls Ive talked to, don't seem to care.

You have drugs to increase the amount of nerve endings in your pre-glans shaft? Increased blood circulation isn't going to fix that.

Oh, and medically there's NOT a significant risk at your age due to circumcision, the debate is why should it be done at all if there's no real BENEFIT to having it done.

Hey, that means longer and more fun for us!

[EeveeElectro]

No, I'm not and it sounds painful for a woman.
My ex was, which was a bit weired but I got used to it.
I'm not a guy so I don't have a clue if it feels any different.
I heard it's for hygiene reasons that some get the snip.

 

[mokes310]

I am, and I can honestly say that I don't really care.

Putting a child through such agony for something that doesnt even have any benefits is inhumane and should be illegal, just look at the mutilating of female genetalia in african tribes, that's considered a crime against humanity, yet mutilating a infant boy for you're own beliefs are not.

The hygiene argument is really only valid if the person in question never showers, or does so very rarely.
And then, not being circumcised will be the least of his problems.

The foreskin removed in circumcision has almost 40% of the nerve endings that create sexual pleasure. It also increases pleasure in the woman. You know those ribbed condoms? Those are designed to mimic the feel of an uncircumcised male. So circumcision makes both you and your woman miss out on a lot of fun. Seriously, fuck that.

The only "benefit" is aesthetic. But the thing is, when its erect the uncircumcised one looks exactly the same as a circumcised one, except with a little more girth. If loosing all that pleasure for you and your woman is worth a minor cosmetic alteration that's only noticable when you are not excited, well, to each his own. I'll pass.

Actually, an uncircumcised penis and a circumcised one doesn't look exactly alike when erect. Or so I heard. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OrSoIHeard]

When erect, the uncircumcised penis will have the foreskin fall back around the shaft, revealing the head. The only difference is that the shaft will have the foreskin around it, giving it more girth. When flacid, the foreskin will usually surround the head (fully in some males and only partially in others) since it doesn't expand and contract with the rest of the penis.

Well, you have to take into account that far from all uncircumcised penises will have the foreskin retract when erect. Which was what I was getting at, but you obviously didn't get the hint.

I think getting circumcised removes some of your nerves down there.
Ya know what that means

A'ight! Let's go!

...wait, we're having a sex competition? Well that's one of the more weirder ways a conversation has gone.

Putting a child through such agony for something that doesnt even have any benefits is inhumane and should be illegal, just look at the mutilating of female genetalia in african tribes, that's considered a crime against humanity, yet mutilating a infant boy for you're own beliefs are not.

Circumcising a female is a "crime" because it can kill the woman (to my knowledge at least).

For males, it's just some debatable unneeded skin. It's not "agony" at all, I should know, I am circumcised, it's just some skin cut off. Do you really think that I have to get used to not having foreskin when I never even knew what it felt like? The only way I could die from it is if I had hemophilia (I believe that's the name for it) and bled to death.

Though just a tidbit of info for everyone, according to my Rabbi if the first two children die of circumcision, then the third child may not be circumcised even if the parents want it. Just dropping it off for no real reason.

I just wanted to reply to the opening post. Personally I am uncircumsized, but I think that it should be noted that numerous recent studies have shown that circumcision reduces the chance of aquiring HIV. This is largely due to the foreskin holding vaginal fluids against the glans for a prolonged period of time after intercourse. Of course if you wash right away it makes minimal difference. I work for a charity www.letsstopaids.org , and have been to numerous conferences on the issue of HIV and AIDS, and as further proof that I'm not just bullshitting, here is a good paper from the CDC http://www.cdc.gov/Hiv/resources/factsheets/circumcision.htm . Also noted in the paper are the increased chances of microabrasions on the foreskin during intercourse further increasing the risk.

A big topic of concern is the use of circumcision as a preventative measure. The problem being that people who are circumcized may have a false sense of protection, and although it reduces rates it does not stop transmittance. Also, if you are already HIV+ it does nothing to reduce the chances that you give it to someone else... so as always, condoms are the smartest idea.

That being said, of my three past girlfriends not one was bothered by my non-circumcised nature, and we had plenty of time together to find out haha.

That, my friend, is a matter of mental training and practice ;-) And don't forget that quality > quantity, we uncircumcised people are better for the ladieees, oooo yeaaaaa *does a Todd high five to the other uncircumcised people*

PS: Yea that means I'm not circumcised as well.

PPS: As for HIV, just use a condom.

 

[Clashero]

I find circumcision to be a barbaric, sadistic practice. The foreskin is full of nerve endings, so it must hurt like a *****. Most babies go into a pain-induced shock when they're circumcised, but their moronic parents think that they're just asleep. (and have you SEEN the device used? It looks like a torture device).
Plus, you probably lose feeling on the penis when circumcised. I mean, when my head rubs against something, or even if it gets hit by the water from the shower, it HURTS. A lot. So circumcised people are either always in pain or lose all feeling on their penis. Which means that sex will be less pleasurable. (on the other hand, maybe that's better for the woman because it means the man will take longer to finish).
Also, it's not a requirement to be circumcised if you want to convert to Judaism. You can be a fucking Rabbi and not be circumcised.

Of course it's all about the ladies, and of course lasting longer means more "personal time" Don't forget, we have hands.

I suppose we are evenly matched Mr. Uncircumcised! But we shall see who has the bigger E-Peen! And I don't know if that's literally or not!

But for a serious moment, I'd rather have moderate pleasure for a long time than high pleasure for a short time.

I can feel my penis just fine thank you. I've been to some Brises, and the baby is always given a swab of whiskey to drunk them up, and they never cry or anything. And the piece cut off is pretty minuscule.

Unless you're talking about medical circumcisions, if that's the case, I have no idea how that goes.

But it is true that a Rabbi can be uncircumcised, but it's pretty rare.

EDIT: And isn't not feeling any pain on the penis....good? I tell ya, I'd rather feel a slap on the balls with 50% decrease in intensity than one at full pain >_<

Well as I sad, the time you last can be improved by mental training and practice. There ain't no compensation for the loss of nerve endings down below though But yea, I think it won't matter thát much. Problem is ofcourse: you can't really check properly. We know that a lot of nerve endings are gone, but it's hard to notice the difference because most people are circumcised long before they ever have sex.
