- SemajReffahs, on 10/12/2007, -8/+159Dugg for the most immature description of the day
grats - Fission, on 10/12/2007, -65/+214My parents are both European and as many of you know, the standard over there is not to get circumcised. If you are uncircumcised here, it's a weird thing, but it's the opposite over there (for the most part). Personally, I love having everything in tact because it keeps it nice and cozy. Plus it's just natural.
All the uncircumcised man DIGG THIS up and let us revolt against those skinless fools! - eneshelon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+119One day in the hospital, two little boys were lying on stretchers next to each other outside of the operating room. The first boy leans over and asks, "What are you in for?"
"I'm here to get my tonsils out and I'm nervous," the second boy says.
The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about! I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep and when you wake up they give you lots of ice cream and
Jell-O. It's a breeze!"
"Well what are you here for?" the second kid asks.
"A circumcision." The first kid replys woefully.
The second kid says "Wow! I had that done when I was born and I couldn't walk for a year!" - CaptMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -9/+109It doesn't count if they don't talk to you at all.
- EmperorAwesome, on 10/12/2007, -6/+88I for one wish I'd been given a choice. Why circumcise infants?
- PATSCRU, on 10/12/2007, -3/+82i know i read it like 3 times...i haven't heard "weiner" in describing the penis since grade school...i laughed, then shook my head.
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -8/+67God gave man foreskin so he would have a place to keep his gum during a sandstorm.
- person425, on 10/12/2007, -6/+62haha, ya reads like it was written by Butters on Southpark
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+54From TFA: "Kimberley Payne of the Riverside Professional Centre in Ottawa, Canada, and her colleagues tested the sensitivity of 20 intact and 20 circumcised men's penises as they watched erotic movie clips, by touching the penises"
I'd like to volunteer for this study. - thrallie, on 10/12/2007, -22/+73cutting a piece of your penis off isn't good for anything. Watch the Penn and teller *****! Episode on circumcision..its the worst procedure ever.
- synclare, on 11/26/2008, -7/+56No one has brought up the ease of "manipulation" that a foreskin allows. Its like natures own custom-made junk pump. But i guess that's something you would never get to experience being cut. Hand lotion vs nature? Hmm. Oh, and ladies find it just as convenient - at the movies, on a road trip, even at your parent's house! - Foreskin goes where you go !!
Foreskin - it's a keeper! - macaddct1984, on 10/12/2007, -0/+47And remember guys, circumcised or not, you should be washing your penis...
- thrallie, on 10/12/2007, -15/+60Uh. The only science about it is cleanliness (you can clean your own dick) and the supposed protection against aids (only in Africa..without the use of a condom). So no, there is real scientific benefit, you will survive and live a fine live with an uncircumcised penis.
How about this, when you have a kid, you WATCH the procedure. I am sure your opinion will change.
Edit: As I said..no added protection against aids if you use a condom. - DickyMcPhallus, on 10/12/2007, -7/+49Digger in mom's basement: Damn! If only I wasn't circumsized. Then I'd be getting some tail for sure! Anyway, back to WoW.
- kushed, on 10/12/2007, -6/+48This just in. Not getting circumcised has no negative effects on your sex life.
- Haplo, on 10/12/2007, -17/+57"And the circumcision debate on digg continues; one thing I don't understand though is the guys that are not circumcised and hence don't know what its like seem to be the ones who are always against it."
Hah, and you have been circumcised and you are not against it.
"As someone who had the procedure done at 17 I personally think its better for various reasons: hygiene, and from what I have experienced women do prefer it."
So you need to have some piece of skin cut away to be able to clean your dick properly?
Women who prefer it are probably the ones that are used visually to circumcised dicks. The foreskin makes entry easier, it works as a buffer. Once a female has had a few uncircumcised guys /and/ is open enough to ignore her cultural background she will tell you that she prefers uncircumcised guys.
As for mutilating babies, people should go to prison for that, period. - DeskFlyer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+39"Does circumcision harm your sex life?"
No, Digg harms my sex life. - milomilomilo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+44one of the most often over looked fact is that condoms that are "ribbed for her pleasure" are to simulate foreskin.
the fact that an uncut penis will stimulate a woman more, as well as the man thanks to all those nerve endings is also ignored.
a circumcised penis is covered in scar tissue, overly tough skin due to constant exposure to fabric.
There is little to no possible benefit to circumcision. And that AIDS claim, well condoms work well too.
cleanliness or lack there of in not the fault of the foreskin but of the dirty person who might now wash.
So it seems the only thing that has even a little bit of weight is that some people find the natural appearance of the penis weird, which is again strange as they look pretty damn similar when erect.
cutting off foreskin is mutilation not medicine, period. - macaddct1984, on 10/12/2007, -7/+42I'm incredibly happy my parents didn't circumcise me. (I'm glad we're British)
Parents really shouldn't be making that decision. If a guy wants to remove part of his penis, let the owner of the penis decide that.
Oh, and my ex-girlfriend (here in the US) didn't seem to mind it ;) - KuntaKinte, on 10/12/2007, -5/+40circumcision has a bad effect if you live in iowa. it makes the chickens uncomfortable
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+45A buddy of mine got circumsized in his mid-20's. He said there was no difference.
- NijiDaku, on 10/12/2007, -7/+40Like anyone who have been circumcised will ever say that it's a bad thing. It's like saying you got something "wrong" with you that's never gonna be fixed..
Anyway, hood or no hood, just love your weiner! - Tyrekicker, on 10/12/2007, -6/+39@brundlefly76 - "I had no opinion until I read that being circumcised protects you from getting HIV from an infected partner by over 40%"
Circumcised or not, I would hope to take a few more precautions regarding protection against HIV than merely assuming that the non-existance of my foreskin somehow had me protected. Interesting statistic, yes. But I am not about to run out and lop off the end of my dick due to some misconception that I will somehow be saved from the AIDS. - catalysis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34Some do, some don't, some don't even know what it is.
- ponyfreak, on 10/12/2007, -3/+35I am circumsized but I have always suspected that I am missing out on some sensations from the missing foreskin. Of course there is no way to prove this...and I enjoy sex plenty...so I'm not losing any sleep over this.
But it raised just enough doubt for me to decide that my son (now 2 years old) didn't need to get circumsized just to look like his daddy. The nurses in the hospital were quite impressed by that. - DreKor, on 10/12/2007, -9/+40I wonder if that's a regional thing. I've had just the opposite experience.
- feedmecereal, on 10/12/2007, -15/+42@brundlefly76
Amputating an essential body part of a baby is hardly justified by this. I have a better idea: Wear a condom! - NikoKun, on 10/12/2007, -5/+28of course it harms it... they remove a large section of skin half the size of a normal penis, which is full of sensitive nerves.... -_- those nerves are the orgasm trigger... makes things ... weaker for the guy...
- djbumunltd, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28I was circumcised when i was 11. I was expecting some kind of anesthetic. It didn't happen. It was one of the most traumatizing and painful experiences of my life next to ***** my pants in the subway. I remember crying for so long because i couldn't believe my parents let it happen. I guess I was being a baby about it.
- warriorscot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25If you weren't supposed to have a foreskin you probably wouldn't have one, short of a medical reason don't cut bits off your children, its just a rule its not like an umbilical cord its not needed but neither is an appendix you don't have them removed at birth, why its the norm in the US i have no idea it serves no purpose mutilating you children for some weird fashion is just pointless. I cant see how it cant be uncomfortable without any kind of desensitisation.
- jodokast, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25*giggle*....he said wiener.
- ender42081, on 10/12/2007, -14/+33"protects you from getting HIV from an infected partner by over 40%"... thats better than gypsies tears!!!
by the way, that study is old and total bunk. it is based on the possibility of a torn foreskin... being natural I can tell you that less than once a year it WILL get a very small tear (overfapping usually). it is the equivilant of a yeast infection. NOT FUN to have sex like that. would YOU bang a whore with an open sore???? thank you mom and dad for giving me a choice. - cphuntington97, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21"However, when Robert Van Howe of Michigan State University used a similar method to measure sensitivity at 19 points along the penises of 163 men, he found that the five most sensitive points were all in portions of the penis removed by circumcision, especially those in folds exposed as the penis becomes erect (BJU International, vol 99, p 864)." FTFA
- GyroTech, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22A while back I was dating a girl from the US (I'm English). After a while things started to get pretty serious between us. We talked of marriage and inevitably, kids... She raised the point that if we had a son, she would feel better if he were circumcised. I, being born and raised in the UK (and as others have said, over here in Europe, it's the norm for men to be uncut) held no favour for it. So I made her a deal, I told her that if she wanted our son to be circumcised, then she must consent to our daughter being circumcised (removal of the clitoris) too. Needless to say, she was horrified at the idea of genital mutilation being performed on our possible daughter. I waited for her to realise her hypocrisy, before giving up and spelling it out for her...
She really didn't get it. - macaddct1984, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23Apparently the idea of a ribbed condom is to simulate the foreskin rolled back on an uncircumcised penis.
- smash, on 10/12/2007, -7/+25"All the uncircumcised man DIGG THIS up and let us revolt against those skinless fools!"
HAHA nice quote!! I agree, most people don't realize what they're missing. - nbulp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19When you cut a sensitive part of your body away... what do you think happens? Are people so egocentric that they can't be open-minded for a moment?
- jadenguy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20I didn't even know that what I was doing all this time was considered research.
- CGreen, on 10/12/2007, -6/+23Yes they did, in the larger study.
- offwithyourtv, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18From a female's perspective, I honestly don't think there's a crucial difference between circumcised and uncircumsized penises. I'm not entirely sure why some girls think it's weird one way or the other. Of course I can't honestly say I understand the difference in sensitivity from a guy's perspective, but really, I think most guys are happy to be having sex regardless.
So, my opinion regarding "Does circumcision harm your sex life?" is probably not. However, World of Warcraft might. - bhovenkotter, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17My wife is pregnant with my son (today is the due date in fact) and we've had hours of conversations about this issue. I'm circumcised (the mid-70s were the height of circumcision in the US), but I don't know that looking like Dad is a good reason. I don't want him to be teased about it, but I'm on the West Coast where the current rate of circumcision has dropped to almost 50% (though most of our friends with boys have had them circumcised). I have spoken with two men I know who aren't circumcised, one is glad he wasn't, and one wishes he had been. I've heard that it can have a negative impact on sex for both the man and the woman, but nothing seems to be conclusive. There is the whole HIV issue, but it isn't an epidemic here like it is in Africa, and I intend to tell my son (and daughter) about the importance of condom use (of course they might not listen).
So ultimately there isn't a strong case either way, so I figure why not let him keep the extra skin. My wife has left the decision up to me because she figures it is something a father should decide (how convenient). - TangerineDream, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19Circumsized or not, I am still not getting laid
- nbulp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Impossible. I'm not cut... and mine looks even better... and I love it!
It's not a question of sensation... because, quite frankly, I don't give a ***** whether your sex life is going well or not.
The point is (and it's quite simple): stay off my dick.
From birth to death. - nbulp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14You're right. Most guys are happy with what they have and with what they get. How could this be otherwise?
The problem is, and there is such, that *someone else* gets to make the decision about circumcision. Which is not acceptable.
After all, this isn't Soviet Russia.
My opinion, regarding the question, is: unless I invite you, stay off my dick. - ewetubing, on 10/21/2007, -1/+15I have recently heard circumcision referred to as "male genital mutilation"
Circumcision rates are now below 50% in this country (USA.)
The norm of 25 years ago will eventually change to a rare occurrence as this trend continues.
I know an OB/GYN who refers to the act of circumcision as "torturing little boys."
I also know someone in the family who had their circumcision done incorrectly. It has caused him a lifetime of sexual dysfunction. And, it was done to him unnecessarily when he was 1 day old...when he had no say in the matter.
Not worth it in my book. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Tell her she needs breast implants and to have labia surgery too. I heard bleaching ***** was very poplar in L.A. these days.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14There's a bigger problem with limp dicks. Must be circumcision. ;)
Here's my take on this. I'm uncircumcized (and very happy about it). I swear that the most sensitive area of my penis is the foreskin and very tip. When I have the top down like a convertible in my pants, I can barely walk because of the overstimulation. I cannot imagine losing that protective cover and leaving myself exposed to the constant rubbing in my shorts. Over time, I imagine I will not notice it, but that's only because the nerves will have been deadened. This is common sense. Now why would I want to lose that pleasurable sensitive part of my body? More Jewish propaganda to make everyone look like them. For women, just imagine your clitoris being exposed 24/7. - Wootery, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14"and it looks cooler"
Let me guess - you live in the US, right?
Here in the UK, you'd be viewed as weird if you _were_ missing a chunk of your penis. - abyss478, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14think about how much the hospitals and doctors are making by making circumcision the "norm"..... only in america.... greedy bastards. how about just saying "let me chop a piece of your dick off for $400--it's the norm" anything to make some $$$
- nbulp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Your son will be teased. If he's black. If he's gay. If he's muslim. If he wears glasses. What the hell ever. Just think of a reason and there you go. As a father, you'll have a major role in protecting him and, most importantly, teaching him how to protect himself.
I'm glad you let him be himself; he was great the way he was born. If he, some day, wants to get a circumcision or maybe a tattoo or what-not, it will be *his* decision and *his* free will.
I think that what you did was the right thing to do! -
