You better believe it, man.


And now It makes complete since why they used to cut it back in the day.

Pinner: My GF stretches the skin out as far a she can, then does tequila shots out of it.

First good use for that thing I've heard of.

But I call BS 'cause an ex of mine dipped my junk in a shot of Goldschlagger and it burned like hell.
Won't do THAT again.

GoatEwHelenWate: There are at least three of us. I like the uncut ones because the cut ones have weird scars on them.

You study them that closely and intently? Really?

 
CrazyCracka420 2009-07-17 12:59:16 PM  
It's about aesthetics to me, I'm circ'ed, I like the clean/smooth look, and can't imagine having a flap of skin there. That being said, if you're not circ'ed, who cares, I wouldn't ever go out and get circ'ed if my parents didn't do me the favor when I was a little baby.

And from what I can tell from the series of tubes, and past gf's, is that it makes no difference at all for the vast majority (which I don't know why it would).

zoips: CrazyCracka420: How is circumcision a political agenda? I'm confuzzled

Well, it's not been a scientific agenda for quite a while, at least where we all live, here in the first world with running water and daily bathing.


So it not being a scientific agenda makes it political? I'm confused...I just think it's what's ingrained in people, is what they are comfortable with, or what they are used to seeing. I guess I didn't realize there was this big pro-circumcision conspiracy that's sweeping the globe.

Jubeebee: Pinner: It does sometimes. Kind of like running the garden hose on full blast. With your fingers over the end.

Uh, what?

I don't know what kind of wizard sleeves you guys have going on, but I'm uncut and the foreskin barely more than halfway past the head.

What symbolism for an uncut phallus may look like.


Look up phimosis. That's not far enough, but there are non-surgical solutions that American circumcision-happy doctors don't know about.

 
The Envoy 2009-07-17 01:01:39 PM  
CrazyCracka420: 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.

I was in hospital with a 15 year old who had to have a circumcision for medical reasons. I was only 7, but I remember that poor kid's pain. He moaned, cried and screamed most of the time. I had surgery on my balls (undescended testicle) and I got off lightly compared to him. Doing it later in life is certainly not an option anybody not in medical strife chooses.

Also, what's all this shiate about terrible scars? I must have had a good doctor, because I never even knew there was scarring until I read a Fark thread where someone had obviously seen a Freddie Krueger knob and thought that was how they all were.

Surely they would realise how circumcision is superior and get it done? They do have a choice, it is still there and they can choose to have it removed. If they have phimosis (that cannot be resolved with steroids)/get bored of giving it a rub every morning in the shower/convert to judaism/just fancy a change, they can have it done. If you get them cut and they decide they didn't like it that way, they cannot get it reversed (stretching skin back over the head is nothing like the real thing).

I don't know how you can say that no one in their right mind would get it done to themselves and then say you would have it done to someone else.

They did, because I like the look, and there's no wind resistance, so easier to pound away ;)

That being said, did you read the rest of my post? It really doesn't matter one way or the other, but I have a preference for the clean look.

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.


Back in college I had a roommate that was uncut. He confessed that he felt that it was definitely a detriment to his sex life. Not only did many US women find it unnerving, but he was also constantly getting yeast infections. At one point he confessed that he and his girlfriend had been passing back and forth the same yeast infection for several months.

You're a f*cking moron...

Doing it to a baby is different than having a grown man get circ'ed. Adult male circumcision is hell, you get a boner and you can get the stitches to come out...it's painful, and you have a doc coming at your penis with a knife.

Parents are deciding for their kids whether or not they'll be circ'ed for life. If you circ them, or not, I can tell you they won't get the procedure done later in life (there's no point in doing it, unless it's medical).

How was that a troll? I'm surprised that nobody has explained this to you, but you disagreeing with a statement doesn't make that statement a troll. Some people find genital mutilation disgusting. My wife's a nurse, and was pro-circumcision until she actually saw one performed.

How hard is it to snip off some excess skin and sew it back up? It's like getting cats declawed, you have to do it when they're still very little.

Maybe my circumcision was done by a crappy doctor (wouldn't surprise me), but I have no problem seeing where my foreskin was removed; there's a pretty obvious band of scar tissue. That being said, I can see the exact same thing on every single cut guy in porn also *insert ghey joke here*. So yeah, if you're cut, I'm pretty sure you'll have a pretty damn obvious band of scar tissue on your dick.

It's a f*cking baby...he won't remember and there won't be any lasting effects, other than a penis that's streamlined for efficient f*cking. Plus, in countries like the US, it's the norm. Most women can get over it, but there are some who can't get over a non-circ'ed penis.

This I think is likely one of the best arguments for it. All evidence suggests infants forget about it hours later. But as an adult it requires a morphine drip to dull the pain just a little.

Hygiene isn't such a big issue, though you never know what the future holds. 18 months ago a bunch of people thought they were living the good life with multiple cars and big homes... now their cars and homes are gone and they live in subsidized motel rooms....
I guess it is possible anyone in any circumstances could end up in a bad way... likely? Guess that depends on how much faith you have in the economy and your government. Will Obama protect your penis?

That excess skin that got cut off has more nerve endings than the rest of the skin left on your dick. But I imagine you still think it's useless.

Other than conformity.

And it damages the sexual function of the penis. This is medical fact.

BUT KEEP ON CUTTING YOUR SINS DICKS BECAUSE YOU HAD YOUR MANGLED!

It wasn't the disagreement that was a troll, it was bringing up the Catholic priesthood abuse when it had nothing to do with the subject at hand. Those cases involve alter boys and such who, quite obviously, can remember the abuse and thus talk about it. I don't know one person who was circumcised as a baby and remembers the pain or trauma, and to equate circumcision with sexual abuse is pretty damn retarded in terms of long term effects and the motivation behind them.

How is that bad logic? I don't think any adult male in their right mind would get circumcised, and that's including those like myself, who are circ'ed already (if we were to pretend we weren't). If that's the case (which I guarantee it is), then how is it giving your baby a choice to leave them uncircumcised? They aren't going to go out and get circ'ed, because (as I already said, and I think any male would agree), a dude's not gonna go out and let a doc come at his penis with a knife. The post-op is horrible for circumcision, the only way someone would do it as an adult, is for medical reasons.

You can argue all you want about whether or not to circ your baby, but don't give me the copout that "you're giving them a choice", that's bullsh*t, and anyone in their right mind knows it.
