Circumcision Increase the size of your Attachments

Being brought up Jewish, I was obviously circumsised. Used to consider it mutilation, I was only 8 days old but after reading about the health benefits, and that it is an evolutionary dead end like the appendix, I'm not so sure.

Thoughts?

Supposedly, circumcision slightly lowers the chance of penis cancer and infections.

I believe you're sentient as a baby... we have the mental capacity of a spider monkey then, which are thought to be conscious.

Besides, few would argue that babies are conscious, surely?

I never felt bad about it until I heard you guys at Poly say how good it feels to have that extra friction. I really feel I'm missing out on some great sex . Because when I'm wearing a condom (which I always do for intercourse) I really can't feel ****. I can't help but think if I had a foreskin I would enjoy having sex while wearing a condom more.

I feel so mutilated

but I do think they look better . Not that I really go around looking at men's penises. But you can't help but see them in porn movies.

Suffering from ads?

Diss: I can live without the friction, after all, the more we are desensitised, the longer one lasts. Great sex is all about the woman anyway, for us, physically its not much better than "going solo".

Fairly safe assumption that it makes us bigger too! Like the foreskin can act as a constrictor, preventing width!

i figure as a baby, since at an older age, particularly after puberty, you're probably much more likely to fight to the death anybody with a knife coming for your pecker.

Well its logical really, with some of the nerve endings removed, I will always last that bit longer that I would have had they still been there. Assuming I hadn't learned to control them on top of what I have, but hey lets keep things simple.

There has been some evidence that circumcision may be partially protective against contracting the HIV virus. Definitive studies are currently in progress.

Partially, maybe... risky words. I'd just go with the good old condom. And as for other ways to catch HIV, it doesn't help anyway.

The inside of the foreskin has very absorbant tissue or something, apparently its very suceptible to viruses etc, or something like that.

He's a doctor so I assume he has some idea what he's talking about. I'm not sure "Because God will protect you" is a part of his reasoning.

Anyway, I am uncut and perfectly happy to be so. I see no reason or evidence for anyone to be circumcised, although I'm not fanatical about it. If conclusive evidence is produced in the next few years that it is beneficial I will change my opinion.

FWIW, I have never met nor heard about a single person in this country who has ever had any health problems whatsoever related to the presence of his foreskin. My unscientific empirical and anecdotal study reveals no ill effects.

The recovery period is longer at older ages, and it is generally believed its more painful at older ages, (though who has asked a baby how painful it is?) This is the principle response to those who say dont do to babies, let men decide after theyre 18. Basically youve taken away the chance to have it done when its easiest.

Exactly. More pleasure for the ladies is the key. If you get a reputation (whether public or private) with the fairer gender for being good in the sack then, on average, you will get more sex. Anything that helps that is a good thing I suppose.

They did it to me as a baby. I think that, at the time, my parents would have had to specifically tell the hospital NOT to do it, otherwise they just did it.

I've never really thought about it, to be honest with you.
