The newly exposed head was super sensitive to everything it touched. I had to wear a cup and couldn't sleep for days because whenever my head hit the corner of the cup, I'd wake up screaming.
JEEBUS....

:shocked:

There are many things that people "like" simply because it's a culterally accepted norm. Chopping parts off of penises is not natural, and you might (or might not, if you're a Puritan) be surprised to find out the reasons that it was done many years ago in this country (hint: it wasn't medical).

So while we're on this topic, find a link that proves your statement of the opposite, which I quoted at the top of my post. I think it would also be beneficial to hear from some European ladies to get their opinion from a part of the world where male genital cosmetic modification is not quite as prevalent. Unfortunately for your over-generalized "facts," I don't think you'll find that they're on any crusade to circumsize all of the men across the pond.

Actually, his statement was far different from yours. He said "girls say they like it better". You said "girls are actually much more likely to have orgasms with intact guys"

His statement could be construed to mean only the girls he has talked to, and it states an opinion (his, OR the girl's) Your statement seems to apply empirically to all girls, and it is stating a fact (correct or incorrect, I'm not sure)

Absolutely. The results of this study contradict previous studies done in this area. A single study means absolutely nothing without without peer review and independent replication of results.

Wouldn't it also be cool if the smaller the penis, the less chance you have of transmitting HIV?

Myth.

Have you ever known a man that was circumsized as an adult after having sex for years? I have, and it wasn't a myth according to him.

Surely you realize the major differences between infant circumcision and adult circumcision?

Surely you realize that there aren't major differences and the reason you dont' think it's bad is because it's been 'accepted' by society for years. Think about this: why is it accepted and promoted for males but considered horrendous for females? Both cut off pieces of the sexual anatomy. Both have lasting consequences in sexual function and pleasure.

No, there are differences. There's much less tissue damage when performed on an infant, and less sensory nerves are destroyed. Whereas adult cirumcision removes much more tissue, and damages a lot of nerves. Also, how many babies start having sex when they're 4 weeks old? None, I'm afraid. An infant has a good 14 or more years before he's going to be having sex, which is a lot of time for the penis to heal. So I really hope you don't compare 14 years of healthy, early-life healing, to an adult who tries to have sex a few months after having his foreskin removed, and missing many regenetive functions of a healthy child. There is no validity to that argument at all. If you need me to tell you why female circumcision isn't practiced as much as male circumcision, then you're more lost than I can help.

Are you a doctor or are you just talking out of your a$$? Have you studied enough anatomy to know where the nerves map out to on the foreskin?

If you guys seriously want to see the difference between uncut and cut penises and the skin on the head - I have some high resolution pics of the two if you really want to continue the discussion (and no, not of mine).

What about the ring of scar tissue? You can't see that?

That might be true if having sex was the only way to get HIV.

(There are some pictures at that link that may be NSFW...but they are medical oriented not porn-oriented, I apologize if they are seen as inappropriate)

A few things:

One: There are many nerves in the foreskin. I would not say this is comparable to so called "female circumcision", but many pleasure nerves are lost in a circumcised male.

Two: The "skin" on the glans of a circumcised penis doesn't callous or get rougher, in fact there is no skin on the glans. Circumcised penises grow a thin layer of keratin to protect them. Does this reduce sensitivity? Possibly...but without having two penises personally with which to compare I don't feel confident making that assessment.

Edit: Woops...major typo there. Sorry guys...point 2 is about circ'd not uncirc'd. Damn it I need to pay more attention to what I write. Thanks for pointing that out sxr7171.

Three: One of the foreskin's functions is to stimulate the female g-spot. Does this cause women to be more likely to orgasm? Hell if I know, but there it is.


On the other hand, this is a website, so what good are they really as a source of information? About as good as un-peer-reviewed "studies".

Now you're just showing us how limited your view of the world really is. There's more to Europe than France... (or else you shave your underarms)

The point is simply that it is ridiculous to make any statement that comes close to "we cut off the ends of our penises because it's RIGHT and everyone else who doesn't do this to themselves is WRONG." I'm very sorry, but if you want to convince me that all male babies should be circumcised, you're going to have to put up a slightly more convincing argument than "because it looks good" or "because it's easier to keep clean" (yeah, you save 15 seconds in the shower, woohoo!).
