I think it's become less and less common to be circumcised. Funny cause it's generally liberals opposing circumcision........but they don't mind you circumcising the whole baby up until the minute before it's born. Ironic. Anyway, I think they associate it with the Bible so that makes it BAAADDDD even though it's more convenient and healthier for you and your wife......but that's just science speaking, I'm sure message board ranting is far more credible.

How nice of you to bless OT with your stupidity. And here I was, affraid that it would be confined to P&N.

Do you agree or disagree with my statement? And why?

There's a reason why they call it "bumping uglies"... :p

They say sensation leading up to orgasm is MUCH higher uncircumsized.

The belief that there are medical benefits of circumcision is widely held, but close examination reveals it to have little substance.

I have two things to add to this thread.

1. How would anyone know which is better between the two? For there to be a real comparison someone would have had to have been both circumsized and uncircumsized at birth. Otherwise, there's no way to know for sure.

2. Can we please cut out the mutilation talk? I've got two arms, two legs, a normal face. If I walk down the street people don't say "wow, look at that freak; I can tell he's circumsized from here." It wasn't my choice and I'm not a fan of people making fun of something that I didn't willfully do. Besides the fact that it looks completely normal and is fully functional.

That is all.

Probably if they've been with a lot of circumcised men, but it's hardly some kind of relationship killer, unless you meet women by waving your dick at them and seeing if they respond by sleeping with you.
Amusing thread. I chose to reply to this thread for one simple reason, which is that your post just doesn't make sense. If a woman doesn't like something about a man's penis (and of course she doesn't find out until they go to bed), the last person who is ever going to find out is the man. If what she doesn't like is serious enough (i.e. cut/uncut, too small/too big, whatever), then what is likely to happen is that the relationship simply won't last. Sooner or later, there will be the "Can't we still be friends" conversation. I mean, would you hit it if it looked like rotten hamburger and smelled like rank tuna? Not necessarily the same thing, I understand, just trying to illustrate a point because some guys would hit anything, while in my experience it is women who are more choosy.
Just like guys, women have preferences too, even when it comes to that. Sorry to break the news to you. And that's all it is, preferences. Some guys like big tits, some don't, and some don't care as long as she has a tight ass. Same kind of thing. Most people would not stay with a partner that does not meet their preferences unless there are some serious compensating factors.

Anyway, cut/uncut, I don't think it makes that much of a difference. For the record, I'm cut (at birth), and find it very hard to believe that I'm missing out on anything. If some people want to circumcise their male children for relgious, traditional, or perceived health reasons, more power to them. If others don't, more power to them.

1. There are surgeries in each direction - circumcised <-> non-circumcised

Either way can make changes. I've spent 22.5 years of my life with a circumsized penis. That's all 22.5 years of my life. A baby can cope extremely easily with changes in physiology whereas someone even 10 years old has a much harder time. That means that the sensations I feel could very well be the same an uncircumsized person feels. No one would have any way of knowing.

No way am I beleiving that the reattachment of the skin to a circumcised penis is the same as being au natuale from birth.


No way am I beleiving that the skin being cut off a 30yo mans penis is the same as that being cut from an infant.


Different nerve endings from birth that just aren't so easily replicated.

From what I've read, it's not a surgical reattachment, it's more of a "dangle weights to stretch out the skin" sort of procedure.

:Q indeed... IMO a man would have to have some serious inadequacy issues to go through that type of procedure.

sampson is obviously biased.

I dont think anyone can ever show an unbiased answer, maybe a person that got cut after adulthood (after experiencing sex both ways). but then he would also be biased since if u get it cut, chances are that person will claim that its the best way of having sex (since he cant have it reversed)

As WhiteWonder pointed out, what a funny way of phrasing the question: "Have you ever been circumsized?" It's a one-time procedure at most. The question is, "Are you circumsized?"

Tell that to this guy :)
