Oh my god... that's terrible! Mind you, I'm not on either side of the debate, really, but still if you're going to do surgery like that it should be for more of a reason that 'Just because.' or 'Satan lives in my baby's foreskin.' Ugh. Seriously, while like I said, I'm not on either side of the to circ or not to circ debate, the more I read and the more time I spend at [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MOS[/words] the more disgusting this practice becomes....

Belowav, you're on a roll today! You've officially made the most disturbing posts in the FR section in one 24 hour period. This list is horrifying. I don't understand why more men don't get royally pissed off about it. I guess, when its done to you as a baby, and you have no idea what is really taken away, you don't know what there is to be pissed about, but I just don't understand how people could be so blaise about cutting up any part of the body.

some studies show that circumcision may limit your penis size, also
"A piece of skin the size of a quarter contains more than three million cells, 12 feet of nerves, 100 sweat glands, 50 nerve endings, and almost three feet of blood vessels."

The Human Connection,
by Ashley Montagu and Floyd Matson
(McGraw-Hill, 1979)

thats more that a little excess skin dont you think?

dee, if your circumcision was done perfectly, and your frenelum was untouched, the best you can expect is loss of sensation, drying and cornification of the glans, loss of the gliding mechanism during intercourse and masturbation, and reduced circulation. That's the best case scenerio you can expect in exchange for altering the cosmetic appearance of your penis and perhaps making it easier to clean. You could have a nice tight cut like me and end up with turkey neck balls, hairy shaft, frenelum removed, curvature and extreme loss of sensation. Those aren't really considered complications, tho. Not by the docs, anyway. Finally, there's a .05% chance that something REALLY might go wrong.

thanks for the info, i thought every male was circumsized as a part of birth like cutting the cord, didnt know all that, now i do

 

[kong1971]

No, it's a big scam.

If you want the cut look, you can retract and train the skin to stay folded back. It is non-surgical. I've heard of some uncut men who do that. Seems better than resorting to a knife.

dee,
I was circumcised despite having NO excess skin.

and perhaps making it easier to clean.

The only difference as far is hygiene is concerned is an uncut man needs to pull his foreskin back first,once its pulled back then you clean it the same way a cut man does.

<i>To provide practice for house-surgeons (interns)</i>

that makes me much more comfortable. i thank god i wasnt circed like my other brothers.

some others

<i>To celebrate a newspaper's anniversary
"Relax, it's good for our circulation" [picture] "A BOY grimaces in pain at a mass circumcision at the offices of Kompas, Indonesia's largest daily newspaper, in Jakarta yesterday. In an Islamic rite of passage, <b>171 Indonesian boys were circumcised in celebration of the newspaper's 36th birthday</b>." - The Australian, July 6, 2001, p30 (Marketplace)

Because his mother's friends kept asking why he wasn't
(He was, but didn't look it, <b>so it was done again</b>)

To make him immortal, like a snake gaining a new life when it sheds its skin

Because women's magazines advise it

To make him look different from his twin brother</i>

just pull down their pants to tell if it is billy or joe.

<i>Because men prefer a maintainence-free penis</i>

not the guys on this site.

I don't know, bkkorps. The other night, after my wife and I had sex twice in a row, and the second time she finished me off and I literally came so hard my head exploded and I just lay there for ten minutes, panting and moaning with jizz all over her and me, I thought, Gosh darn it. I wish I didn't have to pull the skin back to clean behind the head.

Here is a GREAT answer to give a future parent on the side of not mutilating their boy.

If they throw the cleanliness argument at you.. answer with this.. One day, his arm pits will smell.. why not cut off his arms too?

I got a friend of mine to leave his baby intact with that one. I wish someone said that to my parents way back when..
