This study found that circumcised men engage in a "more elaborated set of sexual practices," i.e. they masturbate more and get more oral sex. Maybe this is because they require stronger stimulation.


Tell that to most American males. I am very happy with vaginal sex. Do they mean that circumsized men masturbate and have oral sex more as a percentage of total sexual activity... or just in general?

Um... yes they would. And they do. It is a sign of a covenant with God for some people. And for others, they believed that it could lead to disease. This bullshit that it was cut off because it made sex too pleasurable is just that: bullshit.

Did my comments about the reality of your situation of having multiple degrees and a **** job sit in? Isn't that embarassing for you? I'd be embarassed of having multiple degrees and working as a car salesman, and you're damn proud of it. Good for you.

Asher, I make quite a comfortable living, thank you. As I pointed out before, auto sales management generally takes in 6 figures a year. For someone with liberal arts degrees, this is far above the normal expectation of wages.

Tom, take a look at the studies linked to the article you hyper-linked.

OTOH circumcised men were more likely to engage in heterosexual oral sex and masturbation.


Well, the study shows a functional difference, which I think is what you asked for. For what it's worth, here's a recent anectodal report from a foreign student in the US:

Hello, please allow me to send you this message.
I am 24 years old male who had a circumcision as an adult 4 years ago. I was cut right below the glans which removed inner foreskin and all the foreskin components totally. Since the operation, I notice that I can never get orgasm neither from sex nor masturbation. Before the circumcision, whenever penis gets erected, the foreskin gets stretched, and sended a sexually turn on signal to the brain. I say this is erogenous trigger. Now that I don't have any foreskin that can be stretched, I have an erection but no erotic trigger to the brain anymore although I try to be erotic in the brain. Ridge band was very erogenous tissue and so as rest of the inner foreskin. I can no longer get erotic sensation from my penis. Only sensation i get from glans is not really erotic and I really have to get erotic stimulation from some kind of sources (like porn, naked woman etc) to get some sort of sexual
excitement. But without the foreskin, the sensation is totally different kind and no signal to brain like i used to get with foreskin stimulation. I really hope that scientists and doctors persue research on function of
foreskin and it's components and prove the importance of it. I am living very very difficult life since the operation because i can never obtain orgasm and erotic sensation which i used to have everytime and the problem is often a suicidal matter. The hope I have for living is the regenerative medicine will create some method to regenerate amputated foreskin and nerve endings to regain the sensation and function of the
circumcised penis. Is there any research on foreskin regeneration today anywhere in the world? I really hope that I can find some information on this topic. Please give me any information that you have in this matter. I really appreciate for your support.

Tom... you know that person (who is ONE person, btw) has a psychological disorder after his foreskin was cut rather than a physical one .

If all cut people couldn't orgasm, there would be a lot less Jews and Muslims.

I said I wouldn't accept a gay man's opinion on penile health over my OBGYN. That's not bigoted...that's rationale.
And my dislike of you has nothing to do with the fact that you like it in the no-no hole. It's because you're a spoiled, elitist brat who runs his mouth.
I'll be happy to pay the minimal postage to find out just how unlisted your address is, too. While I sit here in all my peasant grandeur, I'll enjoy thinking about you scrambling to cover your ass. Will he do it? Won't he? I have no reason not to.

An OBGYN doesn't necessarily know more about a boys' penis health.
And how you specifically stated how you don't appreciate a gay man's opinion, that's bigoted. If you meant to say you'd take the opinion of a medical professional (and apparently you don't care she's a WOMEN'S HEALTH specialist) over an ordinary man, that's different. But for some reason homosexuality had something to do with it.

You are such a loser, honestly. I can't believe you have anyone here who ever backs you up.

I have more respect for Wiglaf than scum like you.

both of you guys are quite out of line. i think it's quite obvious that tandee isn't paying attention to either of you anymore, and both of you seem tied up in a pissing match.

look:
ss thinks he did the right thing. maybe he did, the evidence is still somewhat contradictory. but it's not like his son, precious kid that he is, will ever know the difference. parents want to do the right things for their children, and if they make mistakes, so be it. nobody's the perfect parent.
asher obviously believes that the evidence is there to disprove and reason for circumcision. good for him. and so he's advising someone to his beliefs on whether it's needed or justified.

there's no need for a cockfight here, no need for ad hominem attacks.

this thread should have been put out of its misery a long time ago, once tandee came to her decision.

Yeah, high ranking management for an oil company in Calgary. Good luck, it's not like there's many oil companies in Calgary....

Seriously Sneak, you'd think even if you did send the email of a website that says something my parents would believe it?

Do you think they'd believe me when I was talking about how you were an online sexual predator who was pissed off because I refused to meet you -- or that some anonymous coward would send a message outting their son?

Circumcision wasn't common among Christians in the 19th century. It became prevalent in the US during the 20th century when in-hospital birthing became dominant since medical recommendation favored circumcision.
