If yes, how was the experience?

One of my friends is about to undergo one and he is a bit nervous.

Why is he doing it? There is no point.

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 have never seen any surveys or studies on it, but I find that very hard to believe. When a penis is errect, it looks the same circumsized or not.

Well being a 5-minute man is not because he suffers from premature ejaculation. That means he doesn't know how to control his dick.

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

is this all that surprising? American women are influenced by american culture. They are programmed from a young age(from the first time they see a penis where ever it may be) that the norm is to be circumsized. If they grew up in a culture that didnt mutilate baby boys(like the majority of the world) they would surely not have that same belief. People have many beliefs that are just not based on facts at all the preference of women and circumsion is one of them.

I am, but my step-brother is not.

I will say this immediately... I am so glad I am. I think my parents made the right choice just by the experiences that I have had versus what my step-bro has gone through.

On the other hand though.. if it had not been done to me when I was born I would be leery of having that kind of alteration done this late in life. I think it would change the experience that you have during sex and other various activities that you may or may not expect. I mean, if he doesn't like it... he can't simply reattach it. I have heard that some say that men lose some sensation after having this done, but I can't attest to that since I have never known otherwise. But, I will say that I have no problems with a lack of sensation, personally. I one time nearly threw my wife off the bed because it was being tickled too much... (draw your own conclusions here). All in all it's your friends choice, but I would really be apprehensive at this point.

Fact #1: A man from a European country will have an accent (British, French, some Latin love type guy, you get the picture)
Fact #2: Such a man, assuming he is decently attractive, would have no problem walking into any American bar and wooing the women with his exotic ways
Fact #3: This man is probably not circumcised, but I bet none of those ladies will be kicking him out of bed.
Fact #4: ...
Fact #5: Profit!


:p
 

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.
A few seconds with a internet search will net you the results you want. Were not the only country that regularly "mutilates" babies, please stop pulling these ridiculous assertions from your ass. I'm not programmed to believe anything. The world isn't black and white, please stop trying to win arguments with statements that rely on that falce assumption.
If anyone is programmed it's you to believe that America is evil or something.
Let me guess, you're uncircumcised?

I have never seen any surveys or studies on it, but I find that very hard to believe. When a penis is errect, it looks the same circumsized or not.
Do a search. Of course this will net you different results from different polled data sets with intentions to prove different things.

I'm not saying its WRONG or I'm AGAINST being uncircumcised. Ok. When someone says one thing, it does not mean the exact opposite is true or is the belief that person holds.

All you are saying is "blah blah blah AMERICANS ARE PROGRAMMED, blah blah blah. Therefore your point is irrelevant because all americans are "programmed". Get over it.

Now you need to convince someone else to love it, too. ;)

I have in the past and I'm currently trying to do it now. :D

I've been with men who were circumcised and uncircumcised. There is nothing wrong with the appearance of an uncircumcised penis, and certainly nothing wrong with the way it functions. If some women have been brainwashed in to believing that circumcised penises are more attractive, then they can just damn well get over it. If some boys get teased in the locker room (which really shouldn't be happening with the same frequency nowadays that it did twenty years ago), big fvcking deal. Kids get teased all the time at that age. If it's not their foreskin, it'll be something else. They'll learn to cope with it just fine.

Here is a delicious :cookie: \\

These polls were they like blind taste tests? Did the girls have blindfolds on, get pounded by a cut and un cut guy anonymously then asked which she preferred without knowing who was who? Get out of here with your polls and statistics on this. you must know you are wrong.

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

I happen to be a screw-up case... They had done something wrong, so when I "grew" a little more, it was super tight and painful. I was four years old when I went back in to have it fixed again.

I still have scars from it -- in fact, I can see where there were stitches. They removed the stitches after I healed up. However just a few years back (I'm now 28), I had one of those stitch-scars get really irritated. It's like a flap of skin where you can see where the thread went thru. I used some tweezers and pulled out (a piece of black thread (3 mm or so long)! I was SHOCKED! My wife couldn't believe it, either.

I did have my kid circumsized, so he could look like Dad.

Hey, if someone wants to hack away down there, that's their choice... I just dont know why anyone would even have a preference for it unless some type of problem arose (which is usually when all surgery happens - when something is wrong).

If it's not broken, don't fix it. But it shouldn't be so hard to test-drive the experience. Just pull back the skin and tape it up. See how it feels walking around like that for a week ;)

How does personal preference equate to brainwashing?
If a girl doesn't find a uncircumcised penis attractive then she MUST be brainwashed by the ignorant american media machine, right?

Yeah as opposed to the earlier days when people used to get so much done with their foreskin but now we have cranes for it.

Oh get over yourself. What is there to be wrong about? How can someone be wrong about personal preference? Get a clue son.

Absolutly. I personally know friends who are uncut and non of their girlfriends, and their current long term girlfriends will not give them oral sex. As far as I'm concerned, oral sex is worth cutting off a useless piece of skin from the tip of my penis.
