Penn & Teller are some of the coolest performers ever. Does anybody know if Bullsh*t! is going to get a sixth season?


The new season has been airing for 4 weeks now

I'm on the pro circumcision side of the debate only because their seems to be some sort of social stigma against uncut weeners in this country. Don't want the future children to get cock blocked by some whore who doesn't realize what it's really supposed to look like, and refuses to go near it.

crm114: wyrlss: Surgery? Just do stretches. It'll take a while, but you can stretch it back out. It's kind of cool.

/thanks peen & tellher


Once its gone its gone. There are more nerves per square inch in a foreskin than in your lips. You can't grow that back or stretch it out.

I'm cut and I bear no one ill will over my lack of fore skin. Sex is great. This whole mutilation defense for males would work if a lot of guys weren't exactly like me. I'm not mutilated so its not mutilation.

In Africa, they lovingly scoop out girls clitorises with hot spoon, to ensure they will get a good husband and not get rejected for being whole and unmutilated.

You know how sometimes, people are genetically farking stupid, so that your kid shouldn't be banging them anyway despite the fact they're fantastically hot? Yeah, if she's so stupid she doesn't know what a dick actually looks like, your kid doesn't need to bang her.

Gothnet: mrapier: I got the information for that Dr. Oz guy on Oprah, he said the head is more sensitive because the skin is not there to "protect" it.

Well, I wouldn't know for sure, I'm not in a position to do a comparative study, but that sounds bogus.

FYI the foreskin sorta recedes a bit when you're ready to go and rolls back and forth during sex, it's not like it's fixed and covers the head totally or constantly. The converse I've heard is that having it constantly exposed to the rubbing of your clothes desensitizes it over time.


So then cut guys tend to last longer... got it.

If you don't teach your son to get her more drunk than that, it's your failing as a parent.

 
HoratioGates 2009-07-17 12:32:42 PM  
I bet if they did a study where they just cut the whole penis off they would get a much lower transmission rate. They might get fewer volunteers. I'm not sure how they got so many volunteers in the first place.

Cut off all penises! Cure aids! Start with all the dicks in the Fark thread!

Wait! What?

How does one make the leap from circumcising males in North America to circumcising females in Africa? I'm just curious how that thought process workes.

Win ! did the same thing its up to them its not my peener

It's body mutilation based on taboos, body image and sexual shame.

There is no medical reason to do it, and ultimately you are doing it without the child mature consent.

That's a whole other scientific study I've not done. Could be true, might not be.As I said, I've met at least one woman that preferred the feeling of a cut guy to an uncut guy. Much to the disappointment of her fiance who was in the room at the time we were having this conversation.

YMMV.

If I ever have a son, I'm going to leave him uncut, like me. I'll instruct him in the ways of proper foreskin hygiene, and he'll wind up being a normal, healthy, sexually active adult, like me. If you want to cut the tip of your kid's dick off, by all means, do it. But you'll never convince me to do it with my kid, ever.

Its such a ridiculous concept in the first place. The control study to show that circumcized men are less prone to get hiv was done where hiv is already rampant, and where no one is circumcized. Of course, the numbers will be seemingly high, but as all you vaccination freaks love to say 'correlation does not equal causation'.

Simple fact, every 20 years or so, the powers that be try to force circumcision, citing a new reason why. Today's topic of the day is hiv/aids so that is the reason why.

Hey, i'm not anti-circumcision, but its pretty bogus to manipulate studies to push a political agenda.

RE-TARD-ED: From the WIKI

Non-religious circumcision in the English-speaking world
Infant circumcision was taken up in the United States, Australia and the English-speaking parts of Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and to a lesser extent in the United Kingdom. There are several hypotheses to explain why infant circumcision was accepted in the United States about the year 1900. The germ theory of disease elicited an image of the human body as a conveyance for many dangerous germs, making the public "germ phobic" and suspicious of dirt and bodily secretions. The penis became "dirty" by association with its function, and from this premise circumcision was seen as preventative medicine to be practiced universally.[20] In the view of many practitioners at the time, circumcision was a method of treating and preventing masturbation.[20] Aggleton wrote that John Kellogg viewed male circumcision in this way, and further "advocated an unashamedly punitive approach."[21] Circumcision was also said to protect against syphilis,[22] phimosis, paraphimosis, balanitis, and "excessive venery" (which was believed to produce paralysis).[20] Gollaher states that physicians advocating circumcision in the late nineteenth century expected public skepticism, and refined their arguments to overcome it.[20]
Although it is difficult to determine historical circumcision rates, one estimate of infant circumcision rates in the United States holds that 32% of newborn American boys were being circumcised in 1933.[23] Laumann et al. reported that the prevalence of circumcision among US-born males was approximately 70%, 80%, 85%, and 77% for those born in 1945, 1955, 1965, and 1971 respectively.[23] Xu et al. reported that the prevalence of circumcision among US-born males was 91% for males born in the 1970s and 84% for those born in the 1980s.[24] Between 1981 and 1999, National Hospital Discharge Survey data from the National Center for Health Statistics demonstrated that the infant circumcision rate remained relatively stable within the 60% range, with a minimum of 60.7% in 1988 and a maximum of 67.8% in 1995.[25] A 1987 study found that the most prominent reasons US parents choose circumcision were "concerns about the attitudes of peers and their sons' self concept in the future," rather than medical concerns.[26] However, a later study speculated that an increased recognition of the potential benefits of neonatal circumcision may have been responsible for the observed increase in the US rate between 1988 and 2000.[27] A report by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality placed the 2005 national circumcision rate at 56%.[28]
In 1949, the United Kingdom's newly-formed National Health Service removed infant circumcision from its list of covered services, and circumcision has since been an out-of-pocket cost to parents. As a result, prevalence in the UK is age-graded, with 12% of those aged 16-19 years circumcised and 20% of those aged 40-44 years,[29] and the proportion of newborns circumcised in England and Wales has fallen to less than one percent.
The circumcision rate has declined sharply in Australia since the 1970s, leading to an age-graded fall in prevalence, with a 2000-01 survey finding 32% of those aged 16-19 years circumcised, 50% for 20-29 years and 64% for those aged 30-39 years.[30][31]
In Canada, individual provincial health services began delisting circumcision in the 1980s.[citation needed]

CUT.

Look up Rambam's theory on why the old school jews did this. It sounds like his opinion is that the whole Abrahamic god is a cover for a lot of rational thoughts. Like you're supposed to receive less pleasure and therefor be more studious.

I'd like to know of anyone who had some sex > 100 times uncircumcised and some sex > 100 times and get them to tell us if there was a great difference in the feeling.

I'd also like to know (via scientific survey) how women who have been with both circ'ed and uncirc'ed men feel about them. (Women who have only been with one type of man seem to irrationally fear the other type) Also if there is a striking difference in sexual pleasure derived from the types of penii, or alternately if there are differences in sexual adventurism in the man (from her perspective)

Had my three sons cut as well.

That's not giving them an option, they're not gonna get circ'ed. Nobody in their right mind would let a doc come at their penis with a knife. I'll prob get my kids circ'ed (if I have kids, and boys someday). But to honestly believe you're "giving them a choice" is bullshiat, you're choosing them to remain uncircumcised.
