Unfortunately an accident happened to one of the twin during the cicumcision and they cut off too much. So 1 of the twin baby had only half of the "thing". The parents then decided to cut it off entirely and raise him as a girl instead.



So in other words, good luck to your friend!

It really happened, link, but not twins.

circumcision screw ups are common. Raising your child a girl because of it is not so common.

What's disgusting about it?

nothing its personal preference. Like when you look at a chicks ass you probably prefer a nice bubble but. When he is dealiing with penises he prefers them to be cut.

When I'm dealing with penises? :shocked: What are you implying?

nono sir its what you have implied.

Thanks for clearing that up. :confused:

who brainwashed him into believing that hacking his penis is normal? he does realize most penises on this planet are NOT circumsized. What's his definition of normal anyway? is he on drugs?

The only response you can muster is a rolling of the eyes. Good job, run along and play.

what purpose do man nipples serve? Hack em off. Body hair?? hack it off. Two testes?? it hink we can all get buy with one. Piggy toe? Not really necessary. Ear lopes? nah dont need em. eye brows? shave em off. TWO KIDNEYS? do we really need two in this society?
You miss the point.

Man nipples, in the womb embryos are asexual and have both organs before they fully develop, nipples are part of this.
Body hair keeps you warm and keeps dust out of areas it should not be in.
Piggy toe helps with your overall balance.
Earlobes, they are used to direct the sound as well as change the sound slightly so you can tell what direction the sound is coming from.
Eyebrows keep dust, sweat and other unclean things out of your eyes.

Kidneys, technically no one really knows why we have two. Yes you can function perfectly with one. Some speculate that our development is prone to create pairs of things, some say the body creates a spare, though no one "knows" for sure. In this society I would say two kidneys are more important than they were in the past. Lifestyle changes, consumption changes and changes in medical technology make having two kidneys an advantage.

The foreskin's purpose is to protect the head of the penis from the elements, and keep it marginally cleaner. In todays society we wear clothing and are cleaning our bodies a couple times a day.
Reasons for the foreskin today boil down to strictly sexual pleasure.

my uncle was not circumsized until he was in his 50's i believe. He said it was quite painful for several days. Many of you are asking "why?". I believe he was having infections and things that was a direct cause of the extra skin there. It was suggested to have the operation done and he did. I haven't asked him about it since, but i'm assuming things are better.

Then why would anyone opt for elective surgery like this? It's beyond me unless this person suffers from chronic premature ejaculation.

What point are you trying to make? sexual pleasure has no part of society? thats it off with the clit!

The sexual pleasure of the foreskin is marginal. Most women polled prefer it to be removed.

Most women prefer a circumsised penis.
Why someone would opt for elective surgery is beyond me. All personal preference. Mabey too many women have turned down giving him oral sex because of the foreskin.

I had a friend who got circumcised as an adult.

He did it because it had a tendancy to try to grow closed throughout his life, which caused constant soreness.

where are these polls or stats that most women prefer this? I feel sorry that you believe this. U do realize we are like the only country that still regularly mutilates babies right? That means the entire world lets things go naturally and that is considered the norm but yet you are fully programmed to believe the opposite is true.

I dont think I have dated one girl that liked having the foreskin still there. One of my friends that I know that hasnt been circumsized always complains about being a 5 minute man in bed. That being said, I couldnt thank my parents enough for having me circumsized when I was born.
