I am circumcised but always thought it would be more natural to have a foreskin. My wife wants our son to be circumcised.

Who here has foreskin and who does not? Also, has anyone here been circumcised later on in life and as such has experience both with and without foreskin?

I am having a hard time convincing her.

Why on earth would you?

And dread lady.. if Oscar Delahoya came to you and wanted to be your boyfriend.. you would turn him down? hehe..

Uncut bro's, back me up. E2, Gilbyag -- you bro's uncut? -- it is the way it was meant to be right? Now I've got to work on my wife.

It was after suffering through the pain of the after-effects of childbirth that I realized how TORTUROUS it must be for a newborn to urinate or sit in a soiled diaper with his healthy foreskin having been RIPPED from the head of his penis. I'm not jewish so after I researched and found that THERE WAS NO LEGITIMATE MEDICAL REASON FOR CIRCUMSIZING A CHILD I came to the decision that I would NEVER ALLOW ANY SON OF MINE TO BE SUBJECTED TO SUCH TORTURE. My husband is circumsized and was very much in favor of it. "How am I going to explain to him that he looks so much different than daddy?" was his arguement.....like my body looks EXACTLY the same as the bodies of my daughters. (Yea, REAL GOOD ARGUEMENT!) So you all can imagine the controversy that was ignited.

I am a first generation off-the-boat Europian American and NOBODY (other than jews because of religion) circumsized their sons. My father, brother, cousins, uncles - NOBODY! I did ask my bother about the sex issue and he never had a problem with girls or with kids in the locker room at school teasing him. He always said that you're supposed to know a girl before you drop your drawers and how well do you know someone if they would make fun of your body? We went to school with an ethnically diverse group of children so some were "intact" and others were not.

My sister and her husband have three children: one girl and two boys. My brother-in-law is circumsized yet my nephews ARE NOT. Soap does wonders! No male member of my family EVER HAD AN INFECTION or any other problem that would warrant such a horrible procedure.

Females by design are very prone to infection. Should we also surgically alter them?

And you all do know that there are MANY regions in the world that subject there female children to circumcision! These girls ARE old enough to remember and it is nothing short of CRUEL and INHUMAN!!! Many die from infection or bleeding to death.

These children are anywhere from age 4 to 8, I beleive and they are led to shacks - completely UNAWARE of what is about to happen - where their entire clitoris is cut back and their vaginal opening is stitched up so small that it will only allow the menstrual flow to leave her body - if she lives long enough to menstruate, that is. There is no anesthetic and the instruments are usually rusty, dirty knives and scissors, etc.

Now what is the purpose of such a procedure? Tradition. This way the men in these cultures are insured a virgin on their wedding nights. And even though the mothers of these girls remember the pain and agony they went through, they subject their daughters nonetheless because they believe that death would be a better alternative for their daughters than the risk that no man will want to marry them because they are not circumsized subsequently there will be no guarantee of the girls virginity.

And what are the life-long ramifications to the woman if they survive this barbaric procedure? Because the clitoris has been removed and the vagina stitched all but closed intercourse EVERY SINGLE TIME will be void of any pleasure WHATSOEVER and INCREDIBLY, UNIMAGINABLY PAINFUL! And what of childbirth? The excess folds of skin have also been removed and ,again, the vagina all but stitched closed - as if giving birth wasn't already painful enough - I CAN NOT BEGIN THE IMAGINE THE AGONY - and I've had a few babies myself.

Why would any man want a woman who will not only NEVER ENJOY sex but would shudder at the mere idea of it? (Remember, sex is how one becomes pregnant.)

BIGGER, LONGER & UNCUT!

Ive never had a problem with mine, never had "cheesecake" as someone put it, no infections, heard of them, in my opinion you must be a nasty ass to begin with.
Not embarrased cuz my town was half Mexican and over half Catholic, so showerroom situations were no big deal.
Now, what most of you are afraid of, looks... funny how when you talk to a girl she gets a bit freaked out about a uncut pepe. Ive never told a girl I was uncut before hand, and guess what, they cant even notice it until I point it out (a few fuk sessions later). Then they get very curious and start to check it out. Then their fears about it go away cuz they find out there is no difference. I have NEVER run into a girl whos had a problem with my being uncut. I think its a misconception put out there by those that are cut. You just couldnt imagine it any other way, well guess, what, I couldnt imagine being cut, nor have I ever wanted to. WHY?! About the sensitivity thing, yea, I think its true. Blow jobs are awsome, sex is great. I can beleive one can loose sensitivity, I guess Id compaire it run'n around without shoes, your feet would eventually tough'n up, same with your pepe constantly rubb'n agains your undies.

But hey, to each his own.

Mt T there is no embarassment with not being circumscised, perhaps you would find it embarassing but i've never had a problem. Oh and for all you guys who are circumscised i do really feel sorry for you, as your nerve endings in the head of your penis( the most sensetive area as we all know) have been desensetized so unfortunatly you have no clue how pleasurefull sex can really be. You've all lost a ton of feeling and unfortunatly you've been robbed of experiencing true exstacy!
