Molavian: forresttriax: Once my father in law volunteered to change his grandson's diaper. He returned white as a ghost asking why we never told him about the birth defect. My wife asked what he was talking about. He mentioned the penis that was not completely formed. I could not laugh realizing that my American father in law must never have seen one in its natural state.

Most straight American men are uninterested in other men's cocks.

Most gay American men are interested in other men's cocks.

It's odd how many of you are interested in other men's cocks.


Dad?

I just couldn't believe that a man in his mid fifties didn't know what the standard issue equipment was. I bet until that moment he didn't know that his had been altered.

xenomorpheus: crm114:

Or they're doing it wrong and have found an easy scapegoat...

An easy thing to say from your chair, but I'm sure most in this particular situation would have gone to many, many sex therapists and doctors to work things out and find out viable options besides injections or reconstructive surgery.


I'm circ'ed, I cum just fine, keep an erection fine, and have no problems getting it up. I don't see how being circ'ed would effect that...my gf's have always complained (not really seriously though), that I'm always getting a boner. And you usually hear of guys cumming too soon...I don't think anyone would complain about taking longer to blow their load.

IXI Jim IXI: Yes, but cancer is a natural event (at least some instances of it). So saying that there's never any excess in nature or biology is just silly.

wisdom teeth?

some people are born with a vestigial tail.

Of course, if I had one, I'd hope I would have kept it

Slartibartfaster: flyurchin: Totally do it. Nothing like smooth, clean cut balls and cock

my wife likes it like that.
Lots of fun when she helps me do it too

(and unlike my foreskin, it grows back)

Dont go clean shaven though, especially in summer.... it itches when it grows back.


I know! That's why now I do it regularily and I use my gf's moisturizing soap on my legs right afterwards. Haven't had a problem with the itchy or the awful 'red dots' for months.

IXI Jim IXI: Less chance of snagging it in a zipper?

hehehe yea that freaking hurts (getting it unstuck even more so)
But (pardon me I was drunk when I did it) as far as I remember, it wasnt the end bit that got caught.

but I did get to go on those drugs that stop erections for 6 weeks so the stitches would not split (ya know, the same stuff they give for adult circumcision). Kinda worked, but I was 18 at the time, so errr... it didnt always work.

// I think they have better medication for that now

You can use topical antibiotic ointment like bacitracin and the irritation should go away. Works wonders, I heard it before, and then I read it in Jenna Jameson's book, and decided to test it myself.

Fark is not my personal erotica site.

And although nut sucking is a compelling argument, I'm a bit reluctant to drag a razor on my balls. The earlier talk about getting nicks while shaving them does not help either.

Yeah it does sound pretty messed up, but there's really no side effects, so I don't think it's that bad.

Maybe I just like mutilating babies, is that really so bad?

Before the first ultrasound, I told my wife that I hoped our baby had a tail, so we could get him a job with the circus. Surprised she didn't kill me in my sleep.

At the ultrasound, the tech said (out of the blue), "Baby looks great. If you had got this two weeks ago, you could have seen a tail." I think she dented my shin with that kick...

Good to know. Fortunately, whatever soap it is my gf has has worked so far. And regular shaving really, really helps.

Slartibartfaster: CrazyCracka420: Just for looks

Yeah, see, I hope to never have kids. You never know what they might think of the choice you made for them. I guess I'd probably leave it on, just to avoid complications.

See my post above (to you). I was worried about shaving my balls originally too, but using bacitracin, it helps a lot. Also, my balls are really smooth (besides the hair), so there's really nothing for the razor to catch on. It's a lot easier than shaving the shaft. But I heard if you do cut your sack shaving, that one of your balls could fall out, so I'd be careful.

flyurchin: CrazyCracka420: If I could have made the choice as a baby to be circ'ed, I would. I wouldn't as an adult...do you not understand the difference?

Exactly, and I'm glad my parents made that choice.



If only your parents had made the choice to botch your circumcision, cut off your entire junk, cut you a vagina and raise you as a girl, so you could never reproduce. Wouldn't that be even better?

The educational pages within contain close-up pictures of (mutilated) penises..


But Beverly and Gary Sweet's dream took a nightmarish turn only nine days later when they took him back to the hospital for treatment of an infected circumcision and the hospital returned a severely brain-damaged and blind child

Hmmmm. Well, that's not really what happened to me, as far as I can tell. But yeah, I still applaud my parents' choice.

Also, as I said, I probably wouldn't choose the same for my son, simply to avoid complications.

I, and many other men, have cut cocks, and we're golden. Sometimes bad things happen, sometimes life sucks.

There are many complications that can occur with childbirth. Maybe we should make it illegal?

I'm glad to hear your procedure worked fine and you enjoy a normal sex life, as do MOST of them, but not ALL of them.

After pumping away for 30-45 minutes and giving them a few "O's" women usually get sore - lube or no lube, and affected guys are no closer to finishing. And it's always a blow to their ego when they can't get you to cum even if they don't express it.

There have been complications in surgery (which is why I would never personally subject my son to it unless it was required)
There have been complications without it (which is why I taught him how to wash, and make sure he dries properly etc...)

My personal (and I agree to disagree with my "friends" here on fark, Im just having fun, so are they I assume) feeling is that no person should go for surgery if they can avoid it... Ive had too much that I DID need to want my son to get stuff he does not need.

I still dont get the "mine looks better" argument. Mine can look "like" yours, and I still have that thing that was "designed intelligently" (evolved) to protect the end bit.... I like my end bit being protected. Call me fussy.

Not oral either, from what I read upthread?
That seems... Odd. From my (relatively little) experience, there's a lot more than just the tip that's sensitive. Have you done much experimentation with oral? Trying to target an undamaged area, for example?

Honestly, I was wondering the same thing...why didn't they have the men use condoms...wouldn't that have been responsible, and prevented them from giving women aids? But i guess their Africans, and it's women we're talking about, so who cares, amirite?

While I think one cock can look better than another, I doubt that foreskin alone could be the deciding factor (unless it were a really nice or really ugly foreskin).

But you think that baby protects you? I think one swift tap to the tip would have both of us recoiling.

IXI Jim IXI: A population outbreeding its food source is another example of excess regarding nature and biology.

We could easily feed the entire planet now. The main reason it's not done is because it would drive market prices down and a starving country is easy to control. Sure, some people like to pretend it's the teeming masses who screwed everything up, and the rich and powerful only ever thought of the greater good, but that's delusional and naive.
