Why the Double Standard on Circumcision?

[Kalis]

I have a friend who is not circumcised and he lives in fear of his foreskin...

I'm not entirely sure that having a foreskin is his actual problem...

[Deleted]

Like I said, I don't! I am a firm believer in Murphy's Law; what can go wrong, will go wrong. It has held true in all my life, so I would rather be safe than sorry. I have a friend who is not circumcised and he lives in fear of his foreskin and wishes his parents had it done as a baby. He has read and heard tons of horror stories about foreskins gone bad. So again, I know I will never know what might have been or will happen if I still had it, but in the end I am glad it is gone. One less thing to worry about as an adult.

Your friend needs help

[Voolawl]

Yes, i can imagine. Doesnt really change my knowledge not my argument. Though yours has yet to change and yet to find an actual reason.

Tradition is reason enough for me. If my dad, my grandfather, my uncles, every male in my family has been circumcised because it's what our family does, then that's reason enough for me.

[Khaza-R]

I find it hilarious you guys keep touting this.

I know. Subjective preferences be damned.

Just because something is tradition, doesen't always make it right.

From what I get from this thread I...

Do not feel pleasure.
Cannot masturbate

Nobody said that

In opposition to looking like a long sock then yeah it's much better.

So that when you're all standing around with your dongs hanging out, your son won't feel like the odd man out?
That's understandable.

What's right to you obviously isn't what's right to me.

Weird...we have differing opinions on a subject. I...don't know how to proceed from here.

Something like that.

Almost no complications is not as good as no complications.



Scars look better?

That split second you save pulling your foreskin back will save you almost a minute over the course of a lifetime...

I'd take the minute chance of complications from a male circumcision than foreskin complications and having to get a circumcision later in life

Yeah that minute saved not having to maintain an uncircumcised penis adds up over the years and in some ways improves quality of life. It's a useless piece of skin that just collects junk and may or may not improve an orgasm by 2%.

You're arguing as if one is so much better than the other when the reality of the situation is weighing the pros and cons of both. Being adults parents who might possibly know a thing about two about dealing with human sex organs, I have no issue with them making the decision for their baby boy.

circumcision removes sexual pleasure for men? ha, im not sure if i believe this.

I thought this was obvious to anyone older than 9. It's fact, not opinions. Well, except in rare cases where phimosis might cause trouble.

Well naturally europeans will prefer uncircumcised and americans wont

[Kalis]

My family background is a mix of Cypriot and English (Somerset and Norfolk) countryfolk...sometimes you have to drop the pointless tradition and stop fucking goats.

[Sillychan]

About 4 years ago I actually got my foreskin reattached...well I should say it was an operation that took skin grafts from my thigh and attached it onto my penis. It was rather painful for about 2 weeks afterwards, but honestly I think it was well worth the surgery and money. I just felt that my circumcision to begin with was a purely religious statement by my parents, and religion serves absolutely zero place in my life.

Is it...functional? I'd be afraid that tearing/pinching would be more common. That's amazing they can do that!

I sense the bias is strong in you.....


Teehee

Maybe O=)
But that being said my bf's is circumcised, and it's the only one I've ever known. So I guess.
I'd try and pitch it as an experiment for science, but really, no one would fall for it.

[AndaliteBandit]

its reduced sensitivity

Yes, but not reduced so much that orgasm is forever an impossibility.

I'm just saying that the consequences aren't of the same magnitude.

[Tastyfish]

Isn't one a sexual lobotomy and the other cosmetic?
I think if they both produced the same results there wouldn't be any double standard.

[Catta]

The only disadvantage I've seen brought up is loss of sexual feeling because of it. I have sex just fine with a circumcised penis.

Then you havent been paying attention because studies have been linked and anecdotes told about the increased chance of ED, lack of orgasm for the man and partner respectively not to mention the lack of lubrication and the problems arising from it.

How many uncircumcised cocks have you seen

[Remnas]

From what I get from this thread I...

Do not feel pleasure.
Cannot masturbate
and have horrible scarring.


BrB..


Hm.. I seem to have NO trouble achieving orgasm. It feels quite good and has since I was 12. Uhm..No trouble maintaining an erection... Horrible scarring? Hold on, lemme check...Can't tell.

I guess this is all anecdotal evidence though.

Agreed on all acounts.

Can we close this thread please? This topic has been done to death and always turns into a flame war.

[Rukentuts]

A compelling rebuttal

Equally met by a compelling assertion.
