Circumcision. Is it necessary?

Should I circumsize my child?


  • Total voters

If you were getting pain from a boner because your skin was being stretched too far. You were in the very small percentage that your foreskin didn't retract from your head naturally during puberty.

In your case, surgery was warranted to retract the foreskin. But this only happens to a very small percentage of men.

Actually I wanted it done real bad I just like the look without the hoody. You dont have to do the surgery they can give you steroids for the foreskin pain. The Dr. wanted to make sure I wasnt doing it for my mom or a gf and that it was my sole decision which it was.

And everyone just loves it, loves it ,loves it. When I press it up againts a bus window or whip it out in church.
I take my penis skiing, hes like watchout for that tree. And I'm like thanks penis-Lucky I had you out...

So it's surgery then, mutilation if done earlier.

Okay bud.

Look it's simple, if you don't want to circumcise your kid, don't. If I want to, I will.

The difference is that when it's done later, you presumably have the choice. It'd be like your parents gauging your ears for you as an infant...so you grow up with friggin dinner plates in your ear-lobes. Many people make that choice for themselves later in life.

that is funny but they forgot a few :twofinger...

If a gay conservative doesn't want to get married, he outlaws gay marriage.

If a conservative man doesn't want an abortion, he outlaws abortion for women.

If a non-native american conservative doesn't want those damn immigrants ruining this country, they work to seal the borders to keep immigrants out.


ewww gross politics in a dick skin discussion thread!!!

ooops politics!!!

Sad to see that we only lasted 14 pages before Antarius turned it into a political thread. :thumbdown

Since we have now gone there - here is the most important missing one:

Mutilated conservatives want to make sure every male gets mutilated before they have a choice

Non mutilated liberals want it to be an informed choice at puberty

- most people that grew up cut/uncut are fine with being cut/uncut as an adult
- most people that grew up religious/not-religious are fine with being religious/not-religious
- most people need to impose their random, arbitrary decision (cut/uncut, religious/non-religious) on other people not realizing it doesn't matter one way or the other
- people still arguing this are wasting their time. it falls into the same category as arguing politics and religion

again, i feel those that can't allow others to be satisfied with a different position are simply insecure needing to force others to be like them. the desire to "convert" a person is fairly strong. not needing this validation requires stronger character.

all the main arguments for/against circumcision have already been made; people still arguing at this point are just beating a dead horse (presumably thinking repeating the same arguments ad-naseum will force someone into agree with them which never works)

Cut - whatever. honky dory.
Uncut - maybe a little extra cleaning. whatever. honky dory.

big whoop. it's not like we run around waving our dicks in the air for society to judge us by....at least not literally...
 
Well, it appears that polling society at large is generating similar numbers to the barfocosm http://www.debate.org/opinions/is-male-circumcision-beneficial-and-or-ethically-sound which is to be expected i suppose...i mean, why would a cross section of motorcyclists be any different than a cross section of any other 'mercian demographic, right? :|

in any event, i'll leave you with this to suck on-

The Lancet study in Uganda said:
They were able to get details on HPV infections for nearly 1,000 women, all identified by men as long-term sex partners such as wives. After two years, 27.8 percent of the steady partners of circumcised men had HPV infections, compared to 38.7 percent of the partners of uncircumcised men.

HPV infection is best known as the primary cause of cervical cancer, but it causes genital warts and can also lead to cancers of the anus, penis, head and neck.

Male circumcision has now been shown to decrease HIV, herpes simplex virus-2, and HPV infections and genital ulcer disease in men, and also HPV infection, trichomoniasis, and bacterial vaginosis and genital ulcer disease in their female partners

it's funny that pretty much only horse is the only one to really have anything to say about this, however delusional, and granted, no we don't live in Uganda but i personally haven't been there and cannot comment on what day to day hygiene is like there...but i will say that there are PLENTY of 'unwashed masses' here in this lovely and shining beacon of first worlditude, the SF Bay Area!

so, at the end of the day, it's still pretty much up in the air as to how much actual benefit to circumcision when you factor in all the other stuff like using condoms, making good, educated choices on who to fuck or whatever, but i'm QUITE SURE that not one person here has made good choices 100% of the time, so if there is some resistance offered by circumcising, then at very least it's not something that one should be committing themselves to eradicating, you MGM dingbats. you truly, truly make me sick trying to push your views on this upon people who want the option to be there. it's not mutilation, and you know it, you just have something wrong up in your head and are quite likely pro-lifers to boot.

it's also cool to hear Paulos and JMack's side of things- we used to rip on the couple of uncircumcised doods pretty mercilessly in gym class, and that's wrong, but kids rip on each other and probably always will for something or another.

It got political the instant someone mentioned HIV.

A non mutilated liberal wants it to be an informed choice at puberty

Ah, pish posh. The whole POINT of being a parent is that you're making choices for your child in which they have precisely ZERO say, and of which they have even less understanding. In the grand view of choices that my parents made for me before I got to the age of understanding, the decision to cut a bit of skin off the end of my dick rates pretty low on the scale of importance.

It's just more proof that society takes penises WAY too seriously. There are dozens of choices that parents make for their children that are FAR more important. Religion, exercise, nutrition, education, travel, etc.: all kinds of shit that has WAY more of an effect down the line than the appearance of their cock. When a parent overfeeds their child or lets them do nothing but sit around and play video games all day, it has a mutilating effect on both their physiology AND their psyche that makes the removal of a bit of flesh from their pecker look like a non-issue, but NOONE is up in arms about making it illegal for a parent to let their kid turn into a fat slob.

Look it's simple, if you don't want to circumcise your kid, don't. If I want to, I will.

What he described is his foreskin not retracting from the head naturally at puberty. This only happens to a very small percentage of men, and needs to be corrected otherwise erections would be painful.

I think when people think of uncut vs cut. They either think of small child's penis, (after all, that's usually all they see) which is before the foreskin naturally retracts. And that skin is covering the head.

On a grown man, its no longer like that. The foreskin retracts at puberty. The penis grows into the skin. Think of it as a kid growing into a coat that was a couple sizes too big. Now the only way you can get the skin over the head is if you pull on it, and only while soft. When hard, you cant pull the skin over the head, it just doesn't go that far.

I've seen some weird cases in porn where the guys foreskin doesn't fully retract, but that isn't the norm. Every penis and vagina is different. Some have more skin/hood than others. Don't use extreme cases to make your point.

Imagine if some christian/jewish/islam religious nut see's a woman with huge labia. He then decides to cut off all baby girls labia, so they all look the same at adulthood. Now all religious girls have no labia. Circumcision amounts to this. Baby mutilation plan and simple. Except its foreskin, not labia.

Its surgery, because he had a medical problem. His foreskin never retracted during puberty. Chances are they just retracted him and didn't cut off too much of his foreskin/nerve endings.

Its mutilation as a child, because they don't just retract, they snip all the foreskin away. Taking away half the cocks sensitive nerve endings. Cut cocks are scarred. The skin under the head often looks stretched unnaturally. Many times there is discoloration of the skin, where its stretched and scared. Maybe you don't notice because you don't know what a healthy natural cock looks like. But its mutilation. I notice because I have a healthy natural cock and have watched a lot of porn.

I'm a freedom lover. If you want to cut up your cock, or put a pad lock through your head of it, go for it. If you want to cut up your kids cock, I really don't care, that's up to you too.

But don't come on here spreading lies trying to convince other people. That I won't stand for. Circumcision is a barbaric religious ritual. A tradition. One that is slowly dieing off. There is no medical benefit to it, and it can do some harm. As you are cutting away sensitive bits.

You are here to lie to yourself and others. I'm here to educate so parents can make the best decision for their child.
 
Actually I wanted it done real bad I just like the look without the hoody. You dont have to do the surgery they can give you steroids for the foreskin pain. The Dr. wanted to make sure I wasnt doing it for my mom or a gf and that it was my sole decision which it was.

In your case, you had to have the surgery. Your cock shouldn't be giving you pain when erect. Glad they fixed it and it worked out for you.

Everyone loves my cock too. I'm known for taking him out often. He is like that loveable best friend that is always getting me into trouble. :laughing
 
seems true. Women have some body issues as well.
This is what makes us so freakin interesting, neurotic and loveable!

Just to embellish the point, I will say that even tho' some of the guys here talk glowingly about their member, there have been times in my life when I considered Bay Arean Jr. to be more of a tormentor than friend. And periodically, guys get drunk or distraught and cut their Johnson off exactly because of it.

I mean, really, the hijinx and situations guys get into to please their needs are diverse, astronomical and pretty much tilt the earth of human history. But I guess that's like being amazed that the sun is bright. Inevitable.

There is a big difference between those other choices and mutilating your child's cock. Those other choices can be reversed when your kid becomes an adult. Good luck growing back a foreskin.

Just the fact that you want to get involved in your kids sex life, before he even has one, is pretty twisted by my standards. But to each his own.

The studies are seriously flawed. Done by people with agenda. Its simple really. You take away half a grown mans sensual nerve endings, he probably doesn't enjoy sex as much. That would explain the slightly increased numbers of disease in guys unmutilated. More sex equals more disease. Also you are talking about countries that don't have access to stuff like lube and condoms. Without that extra foreskin, no lube sex would not be as enjoyable. So less sex.

Kids haven't been through puberty yet. So there is a big difference between appearance of cut vs un-cut. So some make fun not knowing any better. But tide has turned on that these days as numbers are even. Soon it will be the cut ones that are made fun of.

Now as adults, un-cut have the last laugh, as our cocks haven't been butchered. We have more nerve endings allowing us to enjoy sex more. Keeping our cocks rock hard into old age. When your butchered up cock gets older and less sensitive, you will probably need Viagra just to get it up. That might be where agenda came into play in the studies.

Remember when cigarettes were good for you? How about saccharin? Yes, that is what the studies said.
