Foreskins are nice. You are really missing out.

What are we missing? I actually like not having a foreskin, but of course that's because I never had one, just like you always had one so that's why you like it :p

Penises with foreskin just look weird to me (even though that's how they naturally look), reminds me of a dog's penis hidden in its skin (just without hair), plus all that stretchy skin around the penis looks strange.

Apparently it's more sensitive.

I'm not sure that's been proven, or ever will be for that matter. Is there a machine that can detect sensitivity? If not then how will we know that's true? I mean it's not like I take my clothing and scrape my head with it until its red.

nerve endings?

Maybe, but don't you guys pull that extra skin back? meaning the skin that goes backwards either covers another skin or pushes back the skin closest to the base, while ours stays straight with no skin being on top of another skin or slightly folded (basically being the same thing). I could be wrong though, maybe you guys are right, but I already cum too fast because of the sensation, can't imagine having it even more sensitive, would probably last 5 seconds.

As someone who has been on both sides of the debate, I can 100% testify that there is a loss of sensation.

Because they are completely different. They aren't even comparable.

He's right.

Assuming that a male circumcision is done correctly (i.e. no STD-ridden mohels sucking your blood), the male will be able to have an orgasm and enjoy sex. The goal is either to mark a male as part of a specific religion or tradition, or for cleanliness.

Assuming that a female circumcision is done correctly, the female will /not/ be able to have an orgasm and enjoy sex. The goal is to render the female docile and virginal, and unwilling to cheat on her future husband.

So, totally different.

You too. Wrong.


There are many different forms of female genital mutilation, including trimming the labia minoris, trimming the clitoral hood, removing the clitoral hood, removing the clitoris, and slicing the clitoris but leaving it attached.

Typical male genital mutilation is comparable to the first three.

Yep, there are sites that show the differences... (Some NSFW due to being graphic)
People will say they'd rather not be as sensitive cause there'd be too much pleasure,
but shouldn't a person decide that on their own?

Sites? PM them to me? Am interested in knowing this

I don't understand why though, it's not like the nerve endings on your penis disappear, since it's the skin that's on top of the glans that is removed, do nerve endings die or something? doesn't make much sense to me but I guess I could be wrong.

Maybe it's because your gland is always exposed? Friction => loss of sensation over time.

I guess that does make sense though I'm not sure if that small friction will make you lose sensation, instead it could mean that your body gets used to the friction (kinda like you get used to your fan that makes a loud sound and you stop hearing it after a while). So does that mean people living up north have less sensation throughout all their body than those living closer to the equator?

My nieces and nephew are jewish and I can't say I've ever heard of this practice. What the shit man. I kind of want to ask their parents if that happened to my nephew but I can't imagine how to even start a conversation like that.

"So uhh...did your son get sucked off by a rabbi after they cut his penis?" Just...what the hell.

I think it's like how they used to stop the bleeding, in ancient times. I don't think a full compress would do it, but the extreme pressure caused by super suction probably blocked off bluud flow pretty efficiently. I doubt that there's any ero-sexual aspect to this. They just didn't want dog-dorks like the heathen men who lived in the lowland hill country.

And in the old days, didn't some tribes circumcise at a later age?

Also, lol how did this become a circumcision thread?
 
I love my foreskin. Other than sensation increase and no need for lube, the downside...more likely to get STDs.

If everyone wraps it up though you don't have to worry about sensation or STDs.

Well, I mean you do but you know what I mean.

What? how come? this may be a weird question but is the tip...moist or something?

never had an issue with that only time I've ever had to use lube was during anal with an ex gf of mine.
 
All circumcised men needing lube is a misconception, some do but I think most don't --- I definitely don't need lube to masturbate lol.

You're literally severing nerves. You're removing part of the body. Sure, a small part, but a part with an extremely large amount of nerve endings.

I really have to wonder at the sick fuck that came up with that practice of sucking away the blood from a child's penis. Like what was the thought process of that, even hundreds of years ago. Mind boggling.
Passes for suction for a desert nomad, I suppose. Evidently these fellows didn't get the memo about time and technology moving forward by, oh, 3,000 years or so.

You remove the skin that's on top of the glans, not the glans (tip) itself. They cut the extra skin at around half the length of your penis, so I would agree with you there but the glans is the most sensitive part of the penis and no nerves are severed there. I do agree that where they cut the skin we definitely should have less sensitivity but not the tip.

I know what happens, man, I've gone under the knife.

Regardless of what's the most sensitive part, CUTTING part of your body definitely reduces the amount of nerves, that's the bottom line.

Another case.

An Orange County infant has been hospitalized after contracting a deadly strain of herpes from an Orthodox circumcision ritual that has claimed the lives of two babies in New York City in the past decade, health officials told Newsday on Monday.

The month-old infant was admitted to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center in Manhattan last week after the ultra-Orthodox...

Information regarding the case is surprisingly hard to find. From a Jewish site that I won't link since it contains an INCREDIBLY GROSS picture of the act:

Last month the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a report on MBP in New York City. It found that infants who have MBP are 3.4 times more likely to get herpes than those infants who do not.

Newsday reports that NYC DOH is thinking about requiring hospitals to take genital swabs to aid forensic investigators in determining the identity of the mohel, similar to the way rape kits have help iidentify rapists. This is necessary because haredi parents almost always refuse to cooperate with DOH investigators and won't identify the mohel who circumcised their child.

This is sick on two levels.

Firstly, WHAT THE FUCK.

Secondly, what the fuck made them think this was hygienic? Sterilising any cut should be the first priority, not bringing it in contact with bacteria-carrying agents like unclean scalpels, or human saliva of all things.

Fucking hell.

Time to mandate these procedures to be done with strict sterilisation and hygiene requirements.

Because there are lots of nerves in the foreskin itself that are related to sexual pleasure. That, and when there is nothing protecting the head of your penis, it becomes less sensitive. Just like how you get calluses on your feet.

Wow! SO MUCH ANTISEMITISM IN THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!11ONE!!

On a more serious note, I hope I live to see the day where infant circumcision, when done for any reason other than a medical last resort, is treated like any other case of infant mutilation.

lol what a terrible world you wanna live in where circumcised people will be identified as a person that had a medical problem, or was mutilated as a child.
"Oh youre circumsised guess you had complications growing up. Thats so sad"
"Umm no"
"Oh I see, you were mutilated then. So sad."

It only seems like it's not a big deal since we're so used to it. It's child abuse, and our grandchildren will look back on us 100 years from now and wonder what the hell we were doing.

Circumcised penis looks like burn victims to me. At least that's what I first thought when I saw my first porn vid, looked weird as fuck. Also found it odd as to why the girl was spitting on the guy's dick, guess circumcised penises are dry?

I had one at one point, doctor made me get rid of it. Found out later I didn't really need to have it removed. Really regret it now. Whether circumcised people want to admit it or not, you do get less sensitive after the operation. Should not be done without someone's consent for sure. Permanently altering someone's body without their consent is morally wrong. There is no way you can spin it to say otherwise.

They generally do that because they themselves will be dry, not the dude.
 
11 baby boys in New York City were infected with herpes between Nov. 2000 and Dec. 2011 following an ultra-Orthodox Jewish circumcision ritual called metzitzah b’peh — or oral suction — in which the mohel puts his mouth directly on the newborn’s circumcised penis and sucks away the blood.
