Foreskin Discussion (take #2)... god help us
 

Are you all circumcised or something? Let's get a consensus in this motherfucker

MOD EDIT: As much as I'd like you all to think that Leto would just ask this question out of the blue, this thread was actually split off from here.

I just wrote a post, reread it and then deleted it because it made me feel ill. Apart from anything, I was mentioning Alcar's foreskin.

Then I searched out my 'Christmas Tree' metaphor in the old Should Infants Be Circumcised thread. And now I feel positively nauseous. You people disgust me.

Those were the days.

I miss Dipstikk and his small member

edit: HOLY SHIT THEY DO LOOK LIKE THE WOMBLES

Yeah, you won't need lube if you still have a foreskin.

My foreskin got trapped beneath the head of my cock the last time I was naked with my girlfriend and her father was coming upstairs to pick her up.

AHAHAHAHAHA that hurt...

To pick her up to take her downstairs? That’s extreme chaperoning.

Also an extreme mental image.

I am perfectly intact downstairs, yet I can not fathom this imagery... Just how did that happen/physically possible?

Alcar...

I'm with you on this one.

It has happened to me. It can happen due to a large crevice between the head and shaft, or due to… well, something like rolling your sleeves up.

Extreme downhill romantic foreplay with bonus head, still puzzled? So am I, it's not like Mr John Thomas has ever played that little trick on me before.

And Max, we were at a friends house and he was coming directly upstairs to pick her up to ensure we weren't engaging in any of the fun and games we clearly were up to.

We both quickly threw on our respective clothes and I smiled sweetly at her father and told my girlfriend babai and no I could not see her off to the door. I then spent the next ten minutes in the bathroom trying to massage my foreskin back into position.

First time I've ever been glad to be cut.

Not true either. I rarely use lube.

But you can only "rub" the shaft, as the head is rougher. Well, you could rub it. But it's a lot smoother feeling with lotion or whatever.

My foreskin's name is SHllooppsshuk.

NOPE! It's nameless

Okay, so I was bored watching Windows Updater very slowly do its business so I created a poll in this thread. In case it's not obvious, my goal is to make this thread even more deranged and sickening than the Turn-ons one.

Was it that bad? Yes. Yes it was.

At least we're talking about something much less disturbing. Penis.

WTF?

I mean seriously, why are we talking about this?

I was circumsized. It actually annoys me that it happened. I think you should get a say in whether you get cut or not.

Unless you two have incredibly deformed penises, it's just not something I can see being possible.

Alcar...

I created no such thread!

Yes, let's ask all the children at birth. Seeing as the language barrier will get in the way, any kind of positive response will do. fist shaking, head moving, you know.

pix.

I voted. Cut. I've typically figured that it would feel better uncut but I'll never know.

The only time I've ever even seen someone with a foreskin was way back when I was a kid.... it happened when my parents were watching a friend while his parents went away on a cruise. I was like 6, so naturally when it was bathtime, out came the perilous question to mommy, "Why is his pee pee different then mine?" Eh heh heh, so naive!

Probably different around the country and in other countries, but NOBODY dared shower after P.E. in middle school or high school around here, and somehow everyone managed to 'dress out' without completely stripping down in the locker room. So no exposure there.

And all the (2) guys I've dated were cut.

Yes, pix.

Or can you draw perhaps a very detailed diagram? :fuzconf:

All the three (3) guys I've dated (using the term loosely) have been cut. But then, two were American and one was Jewish so that's not all that surprising.

I used to work with a guy who turned around one day and said "When I was thirteen, my parents took me to be circumcised".



To this day, I don't know what prompted him to reveal that information. The only other titbit I got from him was that it really, really hurt.

Oh wahwah. If the thread makes you uncomfortable, you are not required to contribute.

Completely intact here. I do not understand why parents would decide to circumcise their kid. Unless there's some medical problem I do not see the reasoning. Also what's the Jewish tradition in all this? What's their reason for doing it? I've never known that and I'm curious.

I don't know a whole lot about it, but there seems to be some propaganda out there about the issue of circumcision and how it engenders cleanliness. After all, cleanliness is godliness, as they say.

If you need your foreskin removed to be able to keep clean, surely you've got some issues or something? I haven't had that problem.

I don't know ANYONE who's circumcised. Hearing from you guys about all these people is very odd to me, actually.

I can't imagine how odd it must feel O.o But I think it's harsh to remove it from babies too young to decide, as it's removing a body part (when shouldn't that be your decision?) that's not really replaceable, if you want it off you can get it done later, and especially considering it's hardly gonna kill you otherwise, and I'm sure it's there for a reason (evn if minimal), rather than likely to cause harm. I'd be pretty hacked off myself (pun unintended).

I don't think a flap of dickskin is really all that integral to human function. And yeah, there's a cleanliness issue, non-circumcised people have a higher chance of contracting bacterial infections on their DICKHEADS

I've always wondered why the Americans picked up the circumcision thing.

It’s all the Jews secretly in charge.

Yeah, and I hear phimosis is a bitch.

Cut if you must know.

Pretty much its a 'Because God said so' sort of thing. Circumcision is a symbol of the pact made between God and Abraham. Once the child has undergone the process, they are a member of that covenant and, thus, are now Jewish. In theory it's possible to be uncircumcised and Jewish but you're pretty much banned from doing most of the traditional stuff.

As for an atheistic-historical perspective; it may be one of many reasons, including:

• Helps keep it clean in a dusty environment, reducing disease and infection.
• Some tribal societies use circumcision as a coming-of-age test at puberty. Perhaps it started off that way and then became ritualised and transferred to newborns.
• Theoretically, it reduces the impulse to masturbation.

If we're going to go down that route, why not lop off our little toes, remove the appendix, saw off nipples on males, etc? There are plenty of human parts that are leftovers from millions of years of evolution - yet we do nothing about them.

As for the cleanliness argument, as as already been stated, I don't know of any male who doesn't play (and by play, I don't mean masturbation) with themselves in the shower, even for the shortest of periods. I can honestly say that I have never had issues with cleanliness, even when I used to be the typical teenager who bathed once every fortnight :p

Anyhoo, I believe circumcision is a barbaric practice, whether carried out in a religious context or not.

Alcar...

Yeah, but you'd be considered a freak if any of that shit got removed. If it were standard practice, then I would argue that it doesn't matter. Also, little toes are important for balance, yes?

Edit: I read wrong. Yeah, I agree. I'm just repeating what I've heard.

Yes.

Pssssh. Yeah. Ok.

Common acceptance is rarely a good argument.

It's the big toe that we need for balance. Interestingly, you break your little toe(s) on average six to eight times during your life - yet you probably won't notice.

Alcar...

Sure it is! Especially considering the fact that some people prefer a cut dick.

As they've grown up with it being the norm, one could argue it is conditioning.

What are your thoughts on female circumcision?

Alcar...

I tend not to think about it.

I've never thought about it. Cunninglingus would be pretty superfluous.

The difference is that female circumcision has a much higher rate of complication and makes sex actually painful. Male circumcision may make sex less fun, but it's not near as evil as that.
