Poll: Circumcision - What is your opinion?

[MelziGurl]

Should be 100% mandatory. Uncircumcised penis looks like a dog penis.

An uncircumcised penis is also a NORMAL penis... since we're all born to have one - fully equipped n all. Funny how you've been looking so closely at uncircumcised penises and thinking about dogs at the same time... hmmmm.

Also... I don't know what kind of dogs you've been looking at - but I'm sure my penis looks like a human penis and not one of those strange phallic mushrooms. You know, the ones that look like circumcised penises .

Hey jackasses, if you actually were smart enough to do a little research, they look almost exactly the same erect. The fact you have to both act like children is pathetic.

This thread has become trash.

My penis doesn't look circumcised when erect. The skin is still there... (I mean, I can pull it back, but it's still there)

Don't know what YOU'VE been researching .

I wouldn't go as far as to say they 100% the same, but they are very close in appearance when erect, there is very little in the way of appearance to seperate them.

First off, the "" in your posts are making you look 12, secondly, the skin pulls back to the point it's retracted fully and the skin is now on the shaft, resembling the shaft itself. Or maybe your wang is small and the skin covers even when your erect.

was how you were all "You can start hating your parents now." Tell me, oh ye the sensitive one,

I agree that was ill though, anyway I take the lesson for this one, we all have our stupid moments. Still does not take away the truth behind what I said.

but if a few can be convinced in the middle of the flames then it is useful.

"Honey, should we circumcise our little boy when he's born?"
"I dunno, let me go ask a bunch of opinionated people with no medical background on a video game forum."
"You're really going to base a decision of that magnitude based on a flamewar?"
"It's time we faced the facts, honey, we're gonna be horrible parents. Might as well start screwing up now."

Oh my. Did I struck a nerve ?
I was referring to people who stop and think about things, not you.

You argue it all you like, but I am yet to meet a grown adult who was circumsized at birth complain that they wished it was never done.

One did in this thread. Searches for foreskin restauration are surprisingly popular too.

If you were circumsized as a baby then you wouldn't have known anything different to be able to actually say that.

But looking at the studies I've linked to I would have understood, if I wanted to that is.

Personally I am very distrustful of religious websites as scientific sources

The site lists a bibliography of medical journals and other scientific publications at the bottom of the page from which it drew the summarised statements. It presents medical findings, not religious doctrine. And even in religious texts, it is only described for the significance of Abraham's covenant with the Big Guy, not for any medical reasons.

That's a problem in this kind of topic, it's possible to draw sources from any number of sites who put together chosen studies and make the whole mean anything they want.It's just that the site you use as source having a religious background is not encouraging to me. Because, let's face it, religion and scientificity don't go well together.
You're right though, I can't dismiss it all just because of that, just as you can't dismiss my own sources because they may not suit you. To get around that we could each look at individual scientific articles provided by the other to acknowledge, and so get an overall unbiaised view of the subject.

Some will get less pleasure, others more, most likely there is as little difference as there is a way to measure it.

The prepuce does have a proven crucial role in sexual stimulation, that's why it is not just subjective. If some think they can have more comfort without it they should be able to decide once they are adults, circumcision is unfair to those it most probably make less comfortable.

And regardless of anyone's opinion, it has been practiced for thousands of years and will continue for thousands more. It isn't just a "tradition" as you suggest but does have religious and medical reasons as well.

Yeah, people have been believing the earth was flat for thousand of years after all.

Further, your statement about it increasing chances of infections...there aren't any studies to demonstrate that

http://www.circumstitions.com/Complic.html
Here's a list of examples, in any cases if proper hygiene is enough to prevent infections in general then circumcision is still not necessary .

 

[Carlston]

I'm not, I get full feeling during sex, why is it easier to clean? I wash it fine every time with skin.

It's a lame old outdated practice to bow down to a god, and if your not snipped the lies about disease or infection run up which is sad since people then bathed once a year and today we can shower many times a day....or if your non circumcised your just dirty or something stupid...

In the end it's pointless and to me gentile mutilation for a baby for lame religious reason which every "pro" is based on myth and every con is based on the same myth.

In other words some sicko god wants you to snip your dick, no real reason but if you don't your some freak who doesn't bathe.

Yeah mature view that one.

I dunno about that bro, I'm not the one that's mad.

I'm not mad either, so we're even.
You are good at horripilation, should have known looking at your avi

 

[bobknowsall]

If done for medical reasons (i.e. There's an actual problem with the foreskin), I'm totally cool with it. If done for any other reasons, it's bullcrap.

There are reasons for it to be done, but those reasons are rare. It shouldn't be done nearly as much as it is currently being done.

 

[Verlander]

I swear this thread comes up every other month.

My answer is now streamlined through experience:

A lot more people than you think, are actually circumcised. Many babies have circumcision for medical reasons. That way it cannot be banned. If you want it banned in religious ceremony, you're going to have to square that with your own conscience, but religious circumcision only accounts for a small percentage of European procedures. It is far cleaner than a hooded penis, and (trust me on this one) sex is no different for the man if they've had a circumcision (honestly, if you are worried about this, then stop wanking, as that is one thing that DOES impact the quality of sex). I've found that women generally prefer it as well.

There are hundreds of bullshit facts floating around, generally created, and then believed by over sensitive men who haven't had one themselves. There are probably loads on this thread, but I'm not reading through 12 pages of ignorant "fact" slinging. At the end of the day, the foreskin is a throwback to an earlier age, a vestigial organ if you will, like the vermiform appendix, parts of the coccyx and ear muscles.

CONS:
Loss of about 40-50% pleasure during sex.

Prove it.

Seriously.

Prove there is a loss of pleasure during sex.

How would you even design an experiment to test that?

My woodie wears a hoodie and I'm stoked on it.

I'm not, I get full feeling during sex, why is it easier to clean? I wash it fine every time with skin.

But when you wash, you use soap, right? And that soap can dry out the skin, which causes it to crack. Cracked skin is an entry point for bacteria.

The AMA said there is a medical benefit, but it is not significant enough to recommend everyone do it.

As such, I think it should be left to the parents, who are routinely asked to make medical choices for their kids. It seems like the only logical choice.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

So, judging by these posts, I'm a victim of an oppressive society, my penis looks barbaric, and my parents are worthless slime unfit for parenting because they had me circumcized. Lovely. Thank god I came here, otherwise I'd be under the horrible impression that I am not a mutilated creature who is less than a man and that my parents don't deserve the death penalty.

If only that single, kind of disgusting looking flap of skin was still attached me.

 

[vento 231]

I was circumsised at birth and am very happy about, here if you don't have it it's really strange. I don't remember it.

Easy.

Let´s say you stopped wearing shoes. Your feat would be completely unprotected against the outer world. Soon enough, the skin on your feat would grow thick, in order to protect itself from the rough enviorment. But your feat would be less sensitive, because of the harder skin.

Circumcision is the same principle. Stop wearing shoes (foreskin) and the skin on your feat(Dick) will grow thicker and make you more resistant, but less sensitive.


Also, you ARE cutting off some pretty substantial nerves there. I may have exaggerated a little in my opening post, but there is no doubt that it does lower sensitivite, and therefor, pleasure.
