So, to the people who want to circumcise their kids, what will you do if your son is made fun of in the locker room for being circ'd? 😉

Tell them to ask the other guys why they care what his wang looks like.

Hence the 😉. That's also what an intact men should do in the company of bullying circ'd men.

have you heard of that happening in the U.S. ?

Anecdotes, especially in majority Hispanic communities. As the rates continue to drop, I think it'll become more common. Believe it or not, circ rates are trending to drop below 50% in the next few years.
that's fine as long as you don't continue to think you should make the choice for everyone.

The problem is if they decide or have to get it done as an adult it hurts like hell. Also, many girls these days don?t know what to do with an uncirced wanker.

If I was lucky enough to have a foreskin, I imagine that teaching them is half the fun. 😉 Besides, girls born recently will know lots of intact guys, including brothers and cousins.
you made that sound sick.

 
Okay they say being uncircumcised makes sex more sensitive that means your son won?t last 30 seconds. I don?t know about any of you but my john Thomas is sensitive enough. I am willing to sacrifice some sensitivity for a longer run.

Of course, I'm not legally able to make a choice for anyone, but I will continue lobbying my state reps to discontinue Medicaid funding for the procedure. I don't like my tax dollars contributing to that barbarism.

It would be interesting to poll European and Mexican men, as very few of them are cut. We'd see if they're truly 30 second wonders as you suggest.
 
Why is it so popular in America? Was it not just misinformation, or a wrongly formed opinion, that led many people to believe it was necessary and thus had it done to their sons?

I don't know the facts, that's why I'm asking. I'm not saying it's wrong, or anything else, I'm just enquiring as to whether what I've been led to believe is true.

Oh, and as a POI, the US isn't a planet. 😉

Here in Europe it's far less common for men to be "circ'd" . Obviously no-one knew the state of foreskin distribution for all the males in my old school, but as far as most of us were aware, only a few people were circ'd. No, we didn't make fun of them, we didn't bully them, it was like some people had ginger hair., it's just part of them. Or I suppose in this case, the lack of a part of them.

YOU are the one suggesting it by saying uncircs are so much more sensitive.

Sensitivity != finishing sooner. I have way more sensitivity after a little foreskin restoration and I last a lot longer. So my wife and I have longer sex and I enjoy it a lot more.

I dunno.
I don't think it's hugely popular in Europe, the UK at least, although I have decided not to try and research it, after my initial attempts met with pictures, and I don't want to go there again.

Read the "History of Circumcision" on Wikipedia. It was an obsession with masturbation among doctors and fundies in the early 1900s. Doctors discovered they could make money circumcising people, so they kept inventing reasons to do it. And read the article before calling shens.
 
im jewish, and i was cut at 8 days old. i intend to do the same with my sons. i dont really know what it would be like with foreskin, but im perfectly happy with the way it is.

No actually I do have to question the need to include brothers and cousins in your statement about girls knowing intact men. Did you play a little too much family doctor growing up?

Well on the forums, there is someone who had the before/after experience, and he says the loss of sensitivity was NOT good.
You can't really make a judgement based on stuff you don't have a clue about.

If only they did something useful with all the energy and time they are wasting...

No, but we were already having sex at least once a day anyway. She doesn't get sore anymore either.

Until the reports of infection start pouring in from the uncirc folks. It's real I have lots of German relatives getting circed at 50 ain?t a pretty picture.
