I will probably have it done to my children out of spite

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Haha...that reminds me of a funny story....

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

You two make it sound like it was this awful thing.
It can't be that bad? :lolz:

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

It can't be that great though, I don't see uncircumcised adults jumping up to get a part of their penis chopped off. :p

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I don't remember being circumcised.
I am happy it was done.
Everyone wins.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I had to get the chop at age...ten maybe?

My foreskin stopped growing but my dinger sure didn't. It became uncomfortable to pee.

Essentially, my penis couldn't be contained.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Let's all be mature, here.

I ejaculated retardedly on your mom.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Great way to look cool out of a potentially embarrassing situation. :p

It hurts me to think about though.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

What an akward thread lol. I'm just glad I got it, and glad I don't remember it. Much like Typhoid lol

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Been snipped too, before I could remember.

I'm not unhappy I got the trim because I prefer the way it looks, but I have heard that uncircumcised men are more sensitive and I do wonder what it would feel like to be au natural. On a related note, I have recently felt that I'm not as sensitive as I used to be. Not sure if it's related or not.

I should ask the girlfriend if she has a preference...

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

You should name your penis Bruce Banner. Could be a good pickup line to segue into the story of how your penis can't be contained and all.

Most of my imaginary lady friends say they don't mind if a guy is cut or not. Honestly the biggest complaint I get is how a guy grooms himself, which oddly is proportional to the amount of time girls will spend downtown.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

If you men the same story I think you do I have one word for you dude

---------------------'CONTEXT'---------------------


Make sense???

If not I have either got the wrong idea or can elaborate.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I'm a little confused.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I should have followed my instincts and never came back to this thread.

Now I can't get the searing image of Moogle's oddly veined mock turtleneck dick out of my head...

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Dont worry then man. I was just trippin out. You must have ment something else and I had the wrong idea. What was the funny story anyway?

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I'm amazed by the high number of circumcised men here. I didn't know I knew any of them! I thought it was mostly a Jewish thing.
And I'm uncut.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I just thought of a reasoning behind why I would get my kid circumcised.

I would much rather putting my infant son through a traumatic experience in which he won't remember, than him having to get it between 8-20. Moreso when the kid is young, and forming a memory. I wouldn't want to risk that for my kid.



And to be honest, I always always thought getting cut was the landslide norm.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

It's nothing in particular, just missed my mark actually happens more often than you might think but eh.


Anyway, I don't think I'll circumcise my kid unless there is a good medical reason to do it, like Hulk penis.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I saw a poll at some site, maybe it was a porn site I don't remember. I just know it came to the conclusion that 8/10 women prefer men with the cut, and 2/10 dont' care or like uncut.

But yeah, don't trust my stats.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Found out today that the other 3 members of my band didn't get the cut

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Kramer: (about the Bris) Hey, we're not talking about a manicure. Imagine, this is gonna be his first memory of his parents, just standing there while some stranger cuts off a piece of his manhood and then serves a catered lunch!

*******

Kramer: (about the Bris) It's a barbaric ritual.
Jerry: It's tradition.
Kramer: Well, we used to sacrifice virgins to appease the Gods, but we don't do that anymore.
Jerry: Maybe we should.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I'm curious how this comes up (no pun) in conversation.

Like do you just kind of make a not so subtle segway... "Oh by the way is your penis cut?"

Or is it something a bit less likely, "Oh speaking of hair cuts...."

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Lame. :p

After seeing this thread, I asked some of my friends outright: "are you circumcised"?

Some gave strange looks before answering, others just answered nonchalantly.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

If you get offended or awkward when someone asks you if you've got a helmet or a jacket, that's pretty awkward in itself.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I would answer if asked, I just don't see many people... at least the ones I know asking straight out.

I mean its like one of those things that isn't a big deal (unless you're me) but no one asks.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

This has been some good lulz to read. I'm cut and it doesn't bother me. Don't know why though since both mom and dad at time weren't religious but eh, I'm not complaining.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Yeah, I'm not sure how it came up.


I think my friend just said it out of nowhere

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Wow, a lot of the guys I know can't shut up about their sex lives so this type of thing comes up pretty naturally. On the other hand I know a decent number of guys who don't talk much unless asked specifically, if ever.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I'm curious how many actually got it cut for religious reasons?
I mean I think some people just get it cut due to other health issues related to foreskin...

I forget the name, but believe there is one in which the foreskin becomes so tight around the head that it causes the man a ton of pain when he pees or something. And the whole smegma business.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Yeah, as far as I ever understood it the main reason to be cut was because of health and cleanliness reasons. My parents aren't super religious and I was cut, so I don't know.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanitis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phimosis
Also done for hygiene and apparently guys who are circumcised are less likely to get Urinary Tract Infections and Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

On the other hand, not having sex with people who have STDs is the best way to not get STDs so I think it is a moot point....you have sexy time with fire your genitals are gonna get burned, circumcised or not.

I definitely did not get the chop for religious reasons...the doctor probably told my parents it was a good idea when I was born.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I can't confirm or deny your reports, but I did wind up asking the girlfriend and she said that she definitely prefers a cut man.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

Cutsman?



Imagine if he was the one to give you the snip.

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

BAD TOUCH!

Re: Thoughts on circumcision?
 

I think circumcision is far more popular in the states than in Europe. I'm personally not circumcised, its just not something my family do and the idea has never really been up for consideration, and i think thats true for many English families. I was born with the skin there, it doesn't bother me in health or personal way, so there's no reason to have a doctor cut it off. But each to there own i guess.

I do think female circumcision is a real shame though, obviously a rare practice when compared to male circumcision, i don't know how often its done outside of a few African countries; and as far as i'm aware thats areas that retain the tradition its not necessarily common. If we're born with the ability to experience pleasure in a certain area of our body, i personally don't see the sense in denying ourself that pleasure.

Someone mentioned the Victorian attitude to circumcision, and thats not really representational of the time, certainly a period of dual lifes. Though this isn't all related to circumcision, the idea that the victorians were conservative is far from the truth. There was perhaps more prosistutes in England in the victorian era than any other period, people took more drugs on account of snuff boxes. Accepted public life and actual private life were very different.

As far as hygiene goes, i think it's been said already, but its really not as difficult to keep that area clean if one makes an effort. Especially when going out on a date, or when meeting up with a partner.
