mines uncut there are times that i wish it was cut and there are times im glad its not have had some women loved it uncut but lots are like i have never saw one that isnt
well, it's about time they did. this practice has got to stop. in my opinion, it contributes to widespread emotional and mental issues among males. i would like to see a class action suit put a stop to it.
i dont know if enyone is like that but wtv...Im dilated..That means that im not circumsised but the foreskin is ALWAYS under the glans...so its like if i am but im not...
I just read about the study that was referred to in earlier posts. I thought I didn't care which I was, but now I think I'm glad I got sliced and diced. The study found circumcised men were a thrid less likely to get penile cancer and were less likely to get a urinary tract infection. That is in addition to the aforementioned reduced risk of contrating a STD. Here is the link to the article I found that makes reference to the study: http://loveandhealth.ifriends.net/Article.cfm?Topic=2&SubTopic=6&Article=295
Lovemywifesass - you got your statistics wrong - the study you cited says that circumcised men have a reduced risk of penile cancer, urinary tract infections and STDs than uncut guys.
Doh... That's what I meant to say... Good catch. I'm going to edit the post but wanted to thank you for catching that.
As a circumsized male I just wanna say that being this way has never damaged me emotionally or mentally... and I can't understand how it could. If you want to talk about real medical issues associated with circumsizion look at the number of uncircumsized people who get genital diseases compared to circumsized. You are twice as likely to have a genital complication as a child if you are uncircumsized, twice as likely to develope balanitis (inflamation of the penis head) and FOUR TIMES more likely to gain irritation or a rash. Although many of these problems are minor and can easily be treated some result in people having to be circumsized at an older age. If we take out all the myths, a child has a lower risk of having medical problems involving the genitals if they are circumsized. ref: http://www.cirp.org/library/complications/herzog1/
Yet, you are the one with the word "Freak" in your user name. Kinda reminds me of that stone, glass houses scenario.
Un. Yeah it's not like I had a say in it when I was born, but it's alright. I'd rather be natural than altered. I've yet to have any problems with it.
I got a kick out of the story about the Rabbi performing a circumcision without any type of anestetic. At one time I supervised the engineering department at a major hospital. I probably witnessed 50 circumcisions, and not a single one was done with anesthetic. It wasn't until fairly recently that has gained in popularity. I guess that's the reason I said (in my earlier post) that I don't think I would opt for it if wasn't done while I was an infant. The first cut usually resulted in the infant turning bright red and screaming. As well, I thought it interesting that when a Rabbi performed a circumcision (which they are allowed to perform without a medical license), there were often doctors looking over his shoulder. They weren't there to make sure the Rabbi didn't screw up. They were there to watch the technique used, as the local Rabbi I always saw performing the circumcisions (obviously for the Jewish infants only) had performed hundreds of them and was very fast.
Several other reasons to circumcise at birth or get it done later on - when peeing, all cut guys have to do is shake it two or three times and zip up. Uncut guys, especially if they have a "nozzle" on the end of their foreskins, have residual urine left under the foreskins,which means that the foreskin has to be retracted before it is shaken, or the urine is left there, to smell and lead to possible infection. Another reason is that many uncut guys (perhaps 10 to 15%) have foreskins which do not retract or which can be retracted only with great difficulty. This means that when oral sex is performed on them, it is like licking a lollipop with the wrapper still on. Also, during intercourse, the foreskin tends to sneak back up over the glans on the outthrust, which lessens the exposure of the coronal ridge to the vaginal walls, lessening the enjoyment for both parties. I am circumcised, but with a "loose cut", which does not do this on the outthrust (I have checked). The best of both worlds.
i guess i shoulda had all my teeth pulled out as soon as they erupted cuz they were at high risk of decay at some point in my life...and could possibly one day absess and cause my death due to systemic infection...and they retain nasty decaying food and plaque which makes kissing unsanitary. they also get in the way during fellatio and french kissing.
Also, about 15 % of uncut guys cannot retract their foreskins, and this can interfere with their sexual enjoyment. I find that hard to believe, that it interferes with enjoyment. When the penis is circumcised millions of the most sexually sensitive nerves on the penis are removed. There have actually been studies stating that the uncut penis is more sensitive to sexual enjoyment. I prefer the uncut penis when it comes to sex. Not that i would turn down a man that i liked if he had a cut penis. Most circumcised men get defensive and say that the cut penis is better, i wonder how they would know? [/QUOTE]
