I've had this kind of discussion before, and I had it with girls that I had no intention of ****ing (translation:ugly ). Its my prefrence. I am aware that, as you pointed out, the foreskin isn't very noticable on an erect penis. I am the one that has to look at it when it is flacid, and I wouldn't want to have a foreskin hanging there. Its a vanity thing. Some people pierce their ears.

The looks argument is bull, it's just what you're used to. That's obvious.


It is completely preference. I don't care what you say, or what the current stats are. Be proud to be uncircumcised. It is your penis. Personally, I'd stay circumcised if I were the only circumcised man on the planet. I like it that way

BTW, I've read through this entire thread and it has been by far the most disgusting/hillarious thread I've read here. I have a question for you turtleneckers out there. You say that uncircumcised penises are lubricated. Do you mean that your penises are constantly drippy? Are you always pre-cumming? (pardon the crudness). I think that that would be annoying. Also, circumcised people can masterbate just fine without lube. TMI?

LOL
That would be annoying, very very annoying.

I'm not going to go into detail since I don't wanna be banned, but suffice to say the skin isn't nearly as tight on uncut men than cut men, so there's far less friction.

Some can, some can't. I know quite a few who need lube for it to be very pleasurable. I know others who say they'd never needed it. Perhaps it depends on how the cut was done. TMI again?

Got spare money?

I have to say that Horse wrote the words that I thought but didn't dare express for politeness' sake. I got the same vibe from the numerous posts, but felt that it wasn't my place to comment due my my extremely tangential relationship to the parties involved. Of course posting your personal life on an open forum does tend to reduce one's presumption of privacy to an extent.

Horse is more willing to speak his mind, but I do feel that he does so (in this instance anyway) from the heart. We are both old farts and have seen a few situations like this turn out very badly for everyone, especially the children. I certainly hope that I am wrong, but I do trust my own sense of this more than the opinions of the principles, as these sort of problems exist squarely in the blindspots of the afflicted. The rush to defense on the part of both of the male sides of this triangle merely reinforces my opinion that there is a narcissistic personality at the heart of this matter, and now a baby is the latest bit of matter sucked into orbit. That's too bad because babies require a lot of attention to develop normally, and attention around a narcissist is usually in short supply. I hope that I am wrong of course, and in any event everyone does have my best wishes regardless of their opinion of me or my words.

I don't think it's an issue in the relations between sexes at all. I live very close to them, and people around here are very 'Mercan compared to Europe.

Do you tell her you like slightly different formations of female genitalia? I didn't think so. Neither do Americans, unless they are bigger freaks than I think they are.

Of course it's not a big deal. Why should it be a big deal if someone grabs a child and cuts off a normal part of his/her sex organ?

You'd be surprised how gross a cut penis can look if the circumcision isn't done right or there's a complication.

If the appendix were located at the end of the penis and had a sexual function, then unfortunately they probably WOULD have gone ahead and cut it off.

Really? Where did u get that idea? Basic principles of ethics, law and human rights prohibit surgery on anyone incapable of giving informed consent, unless those proposing the surgery can show it's medically required. Except in very rare cases circumcision doesn't meet that condition.

I like the way that the most rabid anti-circumcisionists are those who have not had it done themselves and have no idea what it is like having a circumcised penis. Get your foreskin chopped off and then lecture on the rights and wrongs of it, because until then, you really have no idea.
