Getting circumsized need advice...

A recent study of African men who were circumcised as adults showed conclusively that they found no loss of pleasure having sex after their foreskin were cut off.

I was circumcised at birth, but most of my foreskin remains, and sits behind the glans. I can pull it entirely over the glans when soft and two thirds over it when hard. The best of both worlds - a "loose cut".

What study?

What group sponsored this study?

How long after the circumcism was the information gathered?

And most importantly, any 'study' that says it proves conclusively anything that somone else is claiming personal experience with being the opposite, is 100% full of shit from the start.

 

As for that... it is like saying, I was tortured, but they only cut off 3 fingers, not them all... so I got the best of both worlds.

 

The word 'conclusively' proves nothing at all. It merely means, by definition, that someone has come to a conclusion. It doesn't make it the correct conclusion.

Plus, as ChronicTom pointed out, as usual, the data source of the 'recent study' (which, as I recall, has frequently been mysteriously cited by Cutted) is notable, once again, by its absence.

 

i refuse to pull it back and clean it!

 

Alright here's my perspective. I'm sure I've posted this story before but it seems to fit this thread well (from what I've read).

One night I was laying naked in bed stoned (I have alot of stories that start this way). I was staring down at my penis thinking really hard about my circumcision. I was circumsized shortly after birth. I was trying to remember it. For the life of me I couldn't. Did I still feel physical pain from it? No. Did I still feel psychological pain from it? No. Do I miss it? No. Do I feel robbed now that I don't have a foreskin? No. Would I feel any of that if I were Circumcised now? Yes. What a difference 35 years makes. I don't know how old the OP is or even if he is still here at all. But if he is old enough to get on the internet, find and register for this site then he is probably too old to get circumcised and would probably go through all of the issues I just mentioned.

Nobody is too old to get circumcised. In fact, due to an injury I suffered to my foreskin some years ago (which, had the foreskin not been there in the first place would have resulted in serious damage to the glans, which doesn't bear thinking about) & as a result of the scar tissue frequently tearing apart then rehealing, and the skin tightening in the process, there is a strong possibility that I may eventually end up having to get circumcised myself - I am just putting it off as much as possible, as the last thing I want is to have my penis mutilated - I like having the protective cover that Nature provided me with.

 

It always amazes me how the same people who argue for individualism, independence and freedom of thought, then turn around and argue that it is okay to make an irreversible life altering decision on behalf of a child and use as proof that it is okay, the fact that it was done to them.

Going by this theory, there is nothing wrong with having doctors manipulate a fetuses DNA to choose a child's gender, or make the child grow gills, or make them taller them normal and so on and so forth.

After all, when they grow up, they won't know any different...

While we're at it, let's make it so parents choose our jobs, mates, religions, and political affiliation when we're born as well...

im circumsized so i dunno what it feels like to have foreskin

 

The study was by the World Health Organization. In Africa, ecause of the high incidence of HIV/AIDS, and several studies which have shown that a man is over 50% more likely to get HIV if he is uncut and has unprotected sex, a major effort in underway in sub--Saharan Africa (most north Africans are Moslem and thus circumcised) to get as many men circumcised as possible. So there is a large pool of men who have had intercourse while uncut, and then again regularly after their circumcision had healed. The study followed them from their circumcision to several years later, when they were asked if they felt a loss of sensitivity and a lessened enjoyment of sex. Overwhelmingly the answer was "no".

Although circumcised, I have a "loose cut" and can pull my remaining foreskin over the glans entirely when soft, and it sometimes stays there. When I masturbate, I pull my foreskin over the glans and back, just like an uncut guy. The only difference is the supposed "lack of sensitivity" in the glans because it is exposed in my underwear and rubs against it. I have never experienced a "lack of sensitivity", and if my glans is in fact less sensitive than an uncut guy's, I never noticed it. In fact, having an uncut penis increases the likelihood of premature ejaculation problems, and if the smegma is not regularly cleaned off underneath the foreskin, it smells. With cut guys, it just hardens and falls off. You can say it is easy to clean it off, but a lot of guys don't do it regularly, and it does smell, my girlfriend tells me.

 

Once again, you talk about studies and don't link them...

 

as for this part... What has been said already still covers it...

If someone is too stupid to wash their dick, then perhaps they should go and get circumcized...

That is still NO EXCUSE for mutilating babies.

I don't give a fuck if 99.99% of adult men went and got circumcized... it still wouldn't make it right to do to children when they have no say over it.

It isn't the parents body to do with as they please or for their convenience, it is the child's.... It is the parents responsibility to nuture and care for that body until the child becomes an adult and can make decisions on their own.

Mutilating it, is not caring for it.

 

this is full of contradictions and I can't see how such a theory could be scientifically proven. Removing a piece of skin will give you protection against HIV? Me no docta, but c'mon dude ...

 

The same sort of surveys might say the same thing of Female Circumcision, which is commonly performed amongst Moslems. The thing is that the same outcome, supposedly resulting in lower HIV levels could be attributed to the wearing of the Burkha.

You see, if you look hard enough you can find a cause to match to any effect, no matter how ridiculous.

 

Google the World Health Organization and go to "circumcision".

 

You really seem to have a hard time understanding this don't you.

If you are going to quote studies, post a link to the studies. If you don't, then you just present yourself as a blowhard...

Now, if you have any links to these studies that YOU claim show these things, then link them...

Otherwise, your next lines will be, "well that's not the study I meant" and then you will whine and cry when I tell you just how impressed I am by your lack of ability to back up your arguments.

 

I don't care to take the trouble to find again the studies to spoonfeed you the answers you would never accept anyways. They are there if you want to take the time to Google them. I have posted them in the past, in this thread, which has been around since 2007.

By the way, why don't you move to San Francisco so you can vote in the November,2011 election on a proposition which would make it a misdemeanor to get circumcised until you are 18 years old, even if you are Jewish or a Muslim, or want to be circumcised because your foreskin will not retract and the doctor recommends it.

 

Okay, how about you provide a link for this?

I did a little checking (as I always do), and found this;

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/27/us-circumcision-ban-idUSTRE73Q0JJ20110427

As for your 'my other links exist, look them up for youself", I couldn't find these studies you speak of, because I did look, the first time you brought them up, because I like to find these things out for myself and make rational decisions based on that.

Now, I am not saying they don't exist, perhaps they do. A quick way to solve this part of the whole discussion would be for you to link them. The fact that you keep refusing to leads me to think that either you are just trolling for effect or just plain old full of shit.

 

I never trust any statistics I haven't faked personally. As for looking it up, I did:

Complete BS is what your statements are.
