That's not really true. Studies show repeatedly that in North America at least, women who prefer circumcised men far outnumber those who prefer uncircumcised men. It's somewhere around a 4:1 ratio. In other countries this changes; in Europe for example, where circumcision is less common, women are more divided on the issue. It tends to track fairly closely to the prevalence of circumcised penises in the population. So it's not really the same thing.
As for masturbation, anyone who thinks that circumcised males need lubrication to masturbate are outright stupid. That's not true.
As for any medical reasons to do circumcision, there aren't really any compelling ones. The numbers do indicate that once a successful circumcision has been done that issues with your dong are lower, but that is partly off-balanced by the (small) risk of the procedure itself. It ends up being about 1.8:1.2 uncircumcised to circumcised penile complication risks (cancers, infections, phimosis, etc), but this is off of a low total number.
As for STDs, being circumcised does significantly reduce infection rates for some STDs such as HIV, but for most of them there is no difference found so far.
This debate is fairly silly in general. Both types of dongs work fine. Most people will violently defend the 'awesomeness' of their equipment, but it doesn't really matter much.
Oh, and last, the sensitivity issue. Of men circumcised as adults, 1/3 reported increased sexual pleasure, 1/3 reported no change, and 1/3 reported decreased.
Actually, last-last. There was a study where women reported better orgasms from uncircumcised men, but it recruited its participants in an anti-circumcision newsletter...
So why not just be happy with your dong? Both ways work. As for me, I'll circumcise my kids.

How do you masturbate without lube? Spit works in a pinch, but proper lube works better. Worst thing to happen is when the spit/lube starts drying just as you reach the point of no return... Sucks when that happens, if you take your hand off your dick to apply more lube/spit then you might miss the climax, and if you continue it doesn't feel great cause it's kinda dry :lol
Yeah there's definitely an advantage for uncut dudes IMO.

Technically I can too, but I find it so unpleasant that I don't even consider it an option when you have ready-to-use make-do lube at your disposal at any time (saliva, and precum helps too).
Fun fact: I discovered how to properly masturbate when I was 18 years old. Never successfully did it before that :lol
Edit: Come to think of it, perhaps I do have a relatively nonsensitive penis? Because I never, ever came from receiving a blow job, and it can take me a considerable time to do so during intercourse. But I always attributed those to psychological reasons, because I can probably come in less than a minute by using my hand...

Hey guys, while you're at it, get your daughter a boob job. Its aesthetically pleasing and all the guys I know make fun of girls that have small/natural chests.

I think some people are confused by the different ways to masturbate. I basically think there are two main ways two masturbateTheEastonator said:
google "ways to masturbate" and be amazed at the many number of ways :lol
Both feel pretty good but most times I'll go with the latter because it's easier/cleaner.
amirite?

What if my son is an outdoor enthusiast and routinely enjoys going camping? Huh, what then? The only benefit is he would have an unlimited supply of cheese to eat, but that is no way to live.Herbspicesoy said:
oh noooooo... why have my parents done this to me? they have mutilated me. How am I ever going to live without my foreskin? my oh so precious fore skin. They have violated me in ways that I can never ever forgive. Never. Ever. These religious nuts. We should protect our children from these wicked people. Evil evil evil. My precious precious foreskin.
edit: female circumcision is removing clitoris right? how is that the same as male circumcision?

Like an accordion! Do uncut dudes ever pretend to play polka when they fap?brianjones said:
I only need lube when my hands are too clammy (one in every 150 faps I wager).
If my son wants to do that, he can get it done himself when he's old enough. But I won't do it when he's a newborn and unable to think for himself. That's just wrong. Unless there might be complications if I don't do it, which is very unlikely but not impossible. I was almost circumcised because my foreskin was too tight, but it sorted itself out.
Edit: @grumble: it kinda is the same though. not really, but kinda. think of it like this; the clitoris is the part of a woman that arouses them the most because there are tons of nerve-bindings there. It's the same with the foreskin. It's the part of the penis that is most sensitive and the part that gets the person aroused and feel pleasure the most.

Yesterday was World Aids day, so I was up to my head in magazines and newspaper clippings related to aids. I swear there were studies that showed male circumcision reduces the chances of HIV acquisition significantly, even they didn't directly reccommend it against other methods like condoms for obvious reasons. What are the criticisms of such studies?

grumble said:
It's genital mutilation no matter which way you look at it. Logic tells you it's not necessary at all. It's about as logical as cutting off part of your earlobes. There has never been evidence to support that circumcision is a medical benefit.
It's really hard to believe that people are defending the mutilation of the genitals as something that is a good thing. You are essentially cutting part of your dick off for what is non sense reasons.
The morality of it is indeed an evil. If you want to cut part of your dick off by all means go ahead, but for fucks sake at least give the child a choice when they are of age to understand.
On regards to female circumcision there are different types of it. But when it comes down to it, it is genital mutilation.
The same way you wouldn't dare have your daughter's clitoris cut off, is how people view equally the mutilation of the male genitals.
We don't even cut off part of our dogs dicks, let alone a fucking new born baby that has no say in this.
These are the tools used in male genital mutilation. Would you like these objects near your new born son's penis?

if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
I would think that if it was medically advantageous to have no foreskin, humans would've evolved not to have it.

Sometimes it's because the foreskin is too tight.Jea Song said:
But i agree that THE WAY it is done in may countries is just ridiculous and for stupid reasons.
There is NO excuse for female circumcision. That's fucking barbaric. It should stop NOAAAW.

it's of no influence on evolution. so it will stay. Like the hair on your ass.

^Foreskin too tight? To my understanding of skin should stretch accordingly to fit whatever it's holding...thought it may not be immediate.
Obviously they can't be 100% the same because of the sex differences... they are similar because they are done for similar reasons, and both involve cutting some part of the genitalia. They are basically gender specific versions of the same thing.
@Jea_song I wouldn't want all that near my newborns ANYTHING let alone penis.

I'm jewish, so not really much to think about here. Mohel it UP.
People appear to be overstating the opinion of foreskin for one thing. To be honest, I'm not sure whether this is religion and culture being a bitch again, and people who have a hatred of these things jumping on the bandwagon, or whether there is a legitimate argument that parents are harming their children.
