It's all a moot point for me. I can't have one re-installed and don't know what one feels like. There may not be a medical reason for the procedure but I can't change history...just live with it.

As far as it's function...I can still get an erection at will and can still cum without a problem. I know quite a few men my age that have problems with those issues...both cut and not cut.

 

Success rates of grafts are very low.

Without the foreskin, the head of the penis hardens. This reduces sensitivity in the glans.

Get yourself a copy of Circumcision: The hidden trauma. Very informative.

Here's a paper for you:

http://hpq.sagepub.com/content/7/3/329.short

People are arguing that circumcision for babies can cause PTSD so I hope the ignorant freaks saying to "get over it" would reconsider their dastardly comments.

Prospective parents, I am urging you to not inflict this travesty on your children.

 

stamina and sensitivity are 2 different issues bud.

This whole issue is stupid anyway, just like you I too never met a woman who siad "that's gross". I don't think women in general really give a shit if you are cut or not as long as they get fucked well (and that has nothing to do with your foreskin)

 

It is not. I can only hope that you review your position on this topic.

 

Nice post Hank; you said it all perfectly!! I myself am cut, mutilated, circumcised (choose your poison) and wish that my parents had left me intact. My own children are intact and have had no complaints from their partners about their uncut penis looking "gross".

As for those saying an uncircumcised cock is not clean, the owner of said cock must not practice an adequate daily hygiene regimen. Like everything else, if you wash it regularly, it will be clean.

To those that say there's nothing to it; have you seen the video of an actual circumcision being performed on a baby? If it was YOUR son, I don't think you'd enjoy hearing the blood-curdling screams coming from him constantly for the 10 +/- minutes it takes to perform the surgery. It really is unnerving.

I'll leave with this from http://www.circumcisionvideos.com/:
"All major medical associations in the U.S. and in other medically advanced nations around the world now agree that this painful surgical alteration of the male genitalia has no significant health benefits (and circumcision most certainly does not stop masturbation). New studies are showing that circumcision significantly reduces male sexual sensitivity."

 

I wont sleep with a man who isn't cut. I had an ex who traumatized me with his uncut penis and from now on I wont even watch porn with an uncut cock in it.

The people arguing over it being cleaner or not are probably the same men who say they prefer a bald pussy because its cleaner which is bull shit. My stand point on it has a lot to do with me being shallow and a cut cock is a MUCH prettier cock, but it also stems from the event my ex put me through.

 

The paper I referenced in my post above is from a medical journal. Circumcision should be made a crime, here's the abstract:

http://hpq.sagepub.com/content/7/3/329.short

Circumcision is not pleasant in the slightest.

 

New studies are showing that circumcision significantly reduces male sexual sensitivity.

Really? I thought that premature ejaculation was caused by being overly sensitive. How quick would it be over with if I was not cut?

 

I was circumcised as a baby, so I had no say in the matter....I really couldn't imagine life any other way.

 

That is exactly what I am saying. Having your hand cut off is mutilation. A tiny piece of skin is not.

 

Total bullshit. I held my son down while he was circumcised right in front of me. No freezing. Took about a minute, he screamed like hell, was handed to his mother immediately after, began nursing and was quiet.

Guess what, he is just fine. I honestly believe people just look for reasons to make themselves into victims. Get the fuck over it.

 

I am saddened by the fact that this subject is parading their ignorance. Your statement is obnoxious and I can only hope that your ignorance is remedied by educating yourself.

I will practice self-restraint as you could be suffering from a psychological disorder due to your circumcision and have not received adequate professional advice to help you deal with it.

Mutilating your child was despicable. If you are able to mutilate your child and parade your ignorance then I do not expect much from someone like you.

My thoughts are with the child. I can only hope he will become better informed that his obnoxious parent.

 

wow dude... you are a dick.
you are saying that he has a MENTAL DISORDER because he does not agree with you? holy crap.
THAT is crazy. so much for having an open minded forum.

i was not messed up for life by being circumcised. heck, i have known no other life. i dont remember it happening. i have no resentment for my parents.

if circumcision was as bad as all of you are making it out to be then a significantly higher percentage of men that are would have serious issues in their lives.
that is not the case. it may hurt the child momentarily, but in the long run it is no worse pain than scraping a knee.


wanna talk about mutilation? how about nipple piercing? how many of you anti-circ guys think that a pierced nipple is hot? thats not how the woman came out. she looses sensitivity. its slightly harder to clean and must be done daily. its incredibly painful.


semi-related note:
I used to work in a mall a long time ago. the store i worked in was directly across the hall from a store that did piercings. every day some mother would bring their daughter that was too small to make decisions for herself up there to get their ears pierced. the mother would hold the child down as the person working their pierced the little girls ears.

i wonder if those girls alwayus resent their parents?
i highly doubt it. by the time they are old enough to realize that their ears are pierced they are already used to it. they have lived with it as long as they have been alive. heck, they might even thank their parents for making them look pretty before they were old enough to remember the pain.

thats kinda where i am. im happy my parents made my cock look more attractive to every girl i have been with before i was old enough to remember the pain.

 

I think you need to do some self reflection as that term is more suitable for you.

I'm not saying that. Many medical studies have shown that male genital mutilation causes PTSD. If you don't like it, show us your research credentials.

Irrelevant.

You seem pretty messed up to me.

You're parading your ignorance. Well done.

If an adult consents to piercing / having their genitals mutilated, no problem.

It is not your decision for minors.

 

i am not circumised i try and take picture

 

hmmm

I guess the solution is...... take half the foreskin off.

That way you get the best of both worlds.

i think alot of people need to take a chill pill. (love 80's slang)

p.s scientist's can be full of shit

 

seriously, you said in a previous post:
"I will practice self-restraint as you could be suffering from a psychological disorder due to your circumcision and have not received adequate professional advice to help you deal with it."

how is that not saying he has a mental disorder?

there are studies out there that show many things. many have been wrong. this one may be as well but you seem to pick things that only say what you want them to.

there are MILLIONS if not hundreds of millions of well adjusted people that are circumcised. not everyone gets PTSD. you cant prove that they do.

this is just a personal attack because i disagree with you. there is no basis for your claim that i am "messed up" where are your psychological credentials ?

and you are not making an argument here. you are just being a jerk about it. i realize you disagree with me, but instead of informing, you choose call those that disagree with you ignorant or stupid. this is a sign of arrogance. if you want to not look like a dick, then inform people in a nice way without calling us "ignorant"
name calling does not help your cause.

so by your logic a baby getting their ears pierced is mutilation? what about PTSD in that situation?

make a note here that all the articles that i read on line that are saying what you are saying all use the phrases "may show signs or" or "there is some evidence"
there is no solid proof yet.
i know. you are going to call me ignorant. the fact of the matter is, these studies have no proof.
AND
when you enter a study looking for something in general terms ( as in is "x" practice "bad"), then ANYTHING that is remotely supportive of your argument will be used to claim that you are correct.
just remember: Correlation does not imply Causation.


as i said before, not everyone gets PTSD from circumcision. if circumcision caused it as you claim it does, then 90% of the US would have it. they dont.

 

Your choice to use a more civilized tone is noted. Thank you.

By using the word "could".

I am willing to accept this, you just have to produce the studies that show it.

You can't prove that they don't. I have referenced studies that support my assertions. You've provided nothing.

You called me a "dick" and went on a nonsensical diatribe. That is pretty messed up. I do not have any psychological credentials.

This could indeed be the case. I'll raise this issue with a more informed colleague. Thanks.

Have you read "Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma"

http://www.circumcision.org/cht.htm

Do you think it is right to subject an innocent child to a procedure that could give them PTSD?

 

Oh this thread got funny! In my opinion as a woman, I think circumcised is more pleasing to the eye. I can't compare them in action because I've never known a guy who was uncircumcised. Either way, I don't see why this is turned into an argument. But I agree that circumcision is not mutilation. Not even in the same ball park. The men who are crying about it need to suck it up. There are worse things going on in the world!

 

Please, do confess, what is this traumatizing issue... sounds like a great story.
Also how would you know a man is not circumcised, if he just pulled his foreskin back?
