His forskin would not go back..
He says when he pulls his foreskin back... he kinda feels "strangled".
The head is partially exposed and he says Ma$turbation becomes a problem.

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!

SVU is crazy sometimes. I saw one where this guy's girlfriend was a man who had taken hormones -- and he didn't know-- when he found out, he killed himself. That wasn't even the case.

yea i remember both those eps. the twins were played by one guy of course. the "sex changed man to woman" in the older eps was played by a real woman:)

and the one about the twins is based on a real story..minus the murder. the guy killed himself last year. theres a book on it.

In that case it might be best for him to undergo a little nip and tuck. It'll bother him to no end because of it, and he may develop sexual hangups.

It's not a major procedure and can be done in the doctor's office. It's not like knee surgery (which can also be done under a local anesthetic). He's in and out and no worse for wear than an all nighter with a, ah, friend. ;)

I just thought I'd point this out for all of those circumsized folks out there, who aren't getting laid on a regular basis ATM.

For those of us blessed enough to be uncut, masterbation is MUCH EASIER

I don't want to get into all the gorey details (but I will), all the uncut folks know what I'm talking about, but let me put it this way...

1.no lube neccisary (skin travels back and forth w/your hand)

2. I think you can go longer, (doesn't just apply to masturbation) although I have no basis for comparison, the head is only exposed 1/2 the time

3. Clean up is a breeze, when you're about to... um...go... you just pinch off the fore skin and... well... head for the toilet

out
I just about lost my Frosted Mini Wheats after reading #3. That is so fuxking gross.

I'd say it's less gross that cuming on your hand, or chest, or keyboard, or whatever

WTF are you takling about, do all you guys ejaculate on yourselves when your masturbating? Personally, I'll just do it in the bathroom and right into the toilet when I'm ready. Can't get much cleaner than that, can you? I never realized some guys cover themselves in it when the spend some time alone ...

.. having said that. This argument is absolutely ridiculous. The bottom line is, it doesn't matter either way, there will be no truly life altering differences either way. I'm circumsized, and to be honest, I'm not more grateful than I am upset. I couldn't care less either way :p

haha! Ever here of those guys that tie weights around their junk to make it bigger!?!? thats what this reminded me of!

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

Hey, if someone wants to hack away down there, that's their choice... I just 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).
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.

:laugh: you have to know you cant win this sampson. you stated facts at first, but no one will swallow their pride and admit you were stating facts and they were arguing with themselves. hilarious.

great article!

The sexual differences between a circumcised and uncircumcised penis is . . . like wearing a condom or wearing a glove. . . . Sight without color would be a good analogy. . . . Only being able to see in black and white, for example, rather than seeing in full color would be like experiencing an orgasm with a foreskin and without. There are feelings you?ll just never have without a foreskin.( 6)


That's like if someone removed the ability for you to see color at birth because they said it causes brain tumor when half the population can see color and have no problems. You will say you see perfectly fine, but you have no idea what you're missing out on.

Humanity ran around naked for 40,000 years, you need a foreskin and pubic hair to protect your abilty to procreate in that situation. When you run around in three layers of clothes the need for natures precautions fade, and the consequences of those protections become more severe. You are more likely to develop a urinary tract infection when you aren't circumsized.

The reason to get circumsized in the past was for hygiene and/or religious reasons. Now, I don't think hygiene is much of an issue.

I know many girls that either prefer no foreskin or have no preference at all. However, I've never heard a girl say she prefers ones with a foreskin to those without one.

Circumcision is PAINFUL. While I wasn't an adult when I had it done, I'll just say I wasn't young enough to not remember the pain. :p

Out of curiosity how long does it take for your weener to heal after a circumcision? And do you have to go back to pull out the stitches. Thats giving me goosebumps thinkin about yer wang and cutting.

Body hair keeps you warm and keeps dust out of areas it should not be in.

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.
Yes, and in the womb the foreskin develops too. It's certainly less useless than nipples on guys...

Body hair (except maybe on your head) is worthless, sorry. Just makes you itch more. It does NOTHING to keep dust out, in fact, it just makes it harder to clean your skin.

So their girlfriends DO give them oral sex?

Sampson, if you like being circumsized more power to you, but stop trying to play it off as "normal" or "better" when it's just a cultural phenomenon.

I don't consider it mutilation, but I don't consider it necessary or desirable either. It's just a cultural thing that some people do.

This issue always seems to get everyones panties in a bunch and here's why:

Uncircumcised men always hear the stereotype that their dicks are "ugly, unclean, smell bad, etc", so naturally they get all uptight and rant and rave about how they love their foreskin and are much happier than all the "mutilated" guys.

Circumcised men then hear all the anti-circ guys telling them that they are "mutilated freaks, etc" who will never experience the full pleasures of sex, so naturally they get all uptight and rant and rave about how they love their absence of foreskin and how all the ladies tell them how much better it is.

In the end I think their are pros and cons for circumcision as follows:
Pro- hygiene, don't have to worry about smegma or phimosis
Con- somewhat less sexual sensation
Con- painful procedure, especially as an adult
Also there is the pro that woman supposedly prefer circumcised men but that is very subjective and shouldn't really be considered when making a decision.

If you don't know what smegma or phimosis is I suggest you google for them.
*warning you might encounter some nasty pics*

Oh btw I was cut at birth.

Hopefully our society will advance one day and recognize that males have a right to bodily integrity too. If we started circumcising female infants it would cause a huge amount of outrage. Regarding hygeine, if we can put a man on the moon, we can teach children to clean their foreskins.

"Her body, her choice. His body, no choice."
