i never said i favored circumcised over uncircumsized.

and what begs the question now is why are you talking to so many guys about their penises? :confused:

I didn't edit fast enough, read my post again.

And, sweetie, I'm gay - how could you possibly have missed that? I've been out to AT for over five years now. That makes it much more probable that I'm going to be discussing cock with men :p

I jerk off like 3 times a day, do you have any idea how much lube I'd need to for that if I didn't have my foreskin. I'm a student I can't afford that.

You can have one of my pinkies. The function of my hand won't be significantly changed without it.

Have you ever experienced 1) losing a finger, or 2) losing a foreskin?

I have not experienced #1, but I have experienced #2, at an age at which I can remember what it felt like. You may not want to hear this, but it was most certainly not a laughing matter. Of course, the pain only lasted for a month or so, but I would speculate that having a finger amputated under anesthesia would be less painful during recovery, because it's easier to avoid using one's finger a few times per day than it is one's penis (you've got to piss sometime). Regardless, I'm sure if we cut off a baby's 5th finger a few days after birth, s/he wouldn't remember the pain. Why not?
get it straight: they still aren't the same, and i don't have to experience either procedure to realize that.

and i wasn't laughing at the procedure of circumcision only at the lame comparison.
get that straight, too.

Ok, if circumcision is so great, why not get yourself circumcised? I'm sure you could find a nice witch doctor to take care of it for you. After all, your labia is only vestigal skin... its doesn't serve any function, like protecting the vagina from dirt, right? :roll:

Before you jump on me about FGM, in most cases, they remove the labia as well as the clitoris. Google it.
why change the subject? ahhhh, because that is what you do when a valid point is stated.

we are talking about circumcision of a male. i am not a male. i am not speaking out against one's desire not to be circumcised. i am against calling circumcision mutilation.

stay on topic.

at what point does removing pieces of the body that you are supposed to have become "mutiliation" ? Is it by the wieght, the usefulness, how much more aesthetically pleasing someone claims it be? what are the metrics you use to determine mutilation vs. not ???

It's more important to me what a woman thinks (=moshquerade) than what a bunch of guys do.

moshquerade = represents most women

If you don't want to argue the matter any more, that's fine, but simply saying that something is or is not so does not make it as such. There are too many posts for me to keep track of who said what, but numerous people have tried to justify circumcision based only on its supposed aesthetic properties and heath benefits. The former is personal preference (you can't say absolutely that one looks better than the other), and no one has yet posted any links to justify the latter.

yeh, you must've skipped over the post where i justified it. i provided a dictionary text reference to what mutilation actually is. it verified what i have been saying.

Would most women make major changes to their bodies at the request of a man? (ok, I haven't been following stats on breast enlargement surgeries and such, so maybe this is wrong.) I certainly wouldn't expect them to! Nor would I make major changes (defined for this post as having surgery to remove or extend a body part) to myself based on what a limited number of women might demand. Besides, if she gets so hung up over the shape and appearance of a small normally hidden part of my body, I don't think I'd really want to have an extended relationship with her anyway. :)

It's not extreme mutilation in the sense of losing an arm or a leg, but I'm not going to take your word for it because you have no experience in this matter, and since you have never lost a foreskin you can not accurately comment on how it feels.

it's not a major change - it's like removing a mole. And btw, a lot of people go to great lengths to increase their sexual enjoyments.

Was your circumcision performed at some time after the age of infancy? If so, do you tend to enjoy pain?
