most are comparing it to cutting off the TIP of the penis... the tip being the closest relative to the clitoris (condensed section of nerve endings)
Then the victory belongs to kevman, since you are the first to throw out the 'ad hominem argument'. :roll:

Where is that thread by Titandiddly? Anyone who can coax the braindead search function to find it, please post the link. He confirmed that there is significant loss of feeling following circumcision. Makes sense, since the foreskin has many thousands of nerve endings.
Mechanical lubricant: Are you familiar with water weenies, like you can get in science museum gift shops?
Example 1:
Example2. Scroll down a bit, or search for "slipper."
If you put something into one of them, it can move freely, since the torus is able to rotate or invert itself continuously - or whatever it is you call that particular manner of motion.
Similar action with the foreskin.
Preserving sensitivity: With a circumcised penis, the glans is constantly rubbing against clothing, which erodes its sensitivity. With the foreskin present, this does not occur, thus the sensitivity is preserved. Some examples of how sensitivity impacts our perceptions:
Put in earplugs for several hours, then take them out. Suddenly everything seems really loud. Why? Your ears were sensitized by the lack of stimulus. When the plugs are removed, the tiniest stimulus seems like a big deal.
Or papercuts - why do they hurt so much? Because they're on your fingertips, which have a lot of nerve endings. That same cut most other places will not hurt as much.
Sensitivity of the foreskin: It is less likely to be eroded by constant contact with clothing because it is able to move quite freely.
And the term "calloused" doesn't necessarily refer to the hard patches you might get on your hands and feet from constant pressure. For instance, the skin on your elbows or knees is calloused, but it is still quite pliable. "Calloused" can simply mean that the area has become desensitized. There are two terms too, conveniently:
Callous:
1. Having calluses; toughened: callous skin on the elbow.
2. Emotionally hardened; unfeeling
Versus callus, which does refer to hardened, thickened skin.
It would seem based on your responses that 1) You are exceedingly defensive of your own penis and its connection to your ego, and thus are resistant to anything that might offend this, and 2) you don't know a whole lot about your own equipment.

Ummm...my d!ckhead has never been callused. A mechanical lubricant? Please describe what it does. I prefer to sleep with women that produce their own lubricant. How does it preserve sensitivity if it has so many nerve endings? What protects the foreskin from calluses and sense deprivation? Either you don't use the foreskin during sex, or sensitivity issue can be ruled out.
Also, many of the people I know probably get more use out of their fingernail than you will out of your foreskin

Because someone invariably says "cut off the tip of his penis" and then it goes off on a tangent from there, possibly with someone comparing it to cutting off the foreskin, a "useless" piece of skin, something false like this:

I think the loss of sensitivity does exist, but since our brains adapt and are so malleable, especially when at a young age, that it ends up really not mattering. Of course, after having masterbated and lived with an uncircumscised penis, your body is accustomed to such sensitivity and therefore after circumscision, you WILL lose sensitivity you had, so it does really matter. To say that one person enjoys sex or has more pleasure in sex than another based upon circumscision probably isn't so accurate.

I guess it would be like someone born without a body part, be it working eyes, or parts of limbs. The person has never known what it is like to have vision, or two hands instead of just one, so there's not a traditional sense of losing something, since it was never there in the first place. But in any case, the person is still lacking something that should be there, be it functioning eyes, two hands, or, in this case, working sexual organs.

Jeez you guys argue like little kids. Anyone comparing male circumcision to fvcking female genital MUTILATION is out of their mind. The man cut his daughter's clitoris off, she will NEVER be able to feel more than half the pleasure females experience during sex. Guys on the other hand, have benefits and disadvantages to being circumcised. On one hand, it reduces the risk of infection, etc. On the other, people who grew up uncircumcised but had to have it done later on report feeling less pleasure. Boo-hoo, it's not like being circumcised will take away your ability to have a "foreskin orgasm", but she'll never know what a clitoral orgasm is. My point? They're two, COMPLETELY different things.
That seems better than removing a clitoris.. Then again I don't know exactly what female discharge is composed of and whether it fits through that hole.

Female circumcision was never driven by cleanliness...it carries a much high risk of infection and death.
I agree that both practices are dumb, but male circumcision is much less harmful. It's akin to getting your appendix removed at birth...needless surgery, but fairly routine, with a very small chance that it prevents a problem later in life.
You lose a crapload of nerves. There was a person on this very forum who got circumsized at a later age due to some health problems (IIRC), and reported a huge loss of sensation. IMHO circumcision isn't "barbaric", but the reasons against it clearly outweigh the reasons for it.
Female circumcision, however, is barbaric, and there are NO reasons for it and many against it.

Agreed. The only "reason" I see for it, and it was mentioned in the article, was this:
"He said he wanted (the girl) to have it done so that she will not be promiscuous."
Just another form of control over women, to protect the egos of men. I guess it lowers expectations of men by the women - they don't have to be such good husbands when there's less risk of their spouse deciding she's living with an asshole, and that there are better guys out there. It's just men trying to lower competition, only here, they do so by promoting mutilation of the sex they supposedly love. If women were to return the favor, what form would it take, I wonder? As some have mentioned, perhaps just cutting off the glans of the penis would do the trick, and maybe leave the foreskin? Sex would still be possible, just not nearly as good.
God what a sick and petty species ours can be.
