http://youtu.be/gCSWbTv3hn So basically....America didn't adopt the practice of circumcision until the sex-phobic days of the 19th century, when puritanical doctors promoted it as a way to stop kids from masturbating. Psychology Today (Sept. 2011) Cleanliness is no longer an issue thanks to modern hygienic standards. Psychology Today (Sept. 2011) Circumcision has been found to marginally reduce the risk of HIV transmission, but condoms are still much more effective, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The foreskin is a natural lubricant, contains millions of nerve endings, and prevents desensitization. Psychology Today (Sept. 2011) There's no benefit to it. The Mayo Clinic lists some possible advantages but still says only that circumcision "might" be beneficial.I really never knew any of this until now. Sad to say that I used to shrug my shoulders on the topic. Now I'm pretty sure if I have a boy in the future , they aren't getting circumsized.
I always wondered why America adopted that Jewish practice. But yea, nowadays, its just a remnant of an ancient era that refuses to die. I wonder how parents can so readily accept mutilating their sons genitals.. But really, to stop masturbation? Goddamn humans are stupid -__-
Kellogg was one sick puppy. Did you know he advocated the removal of the clitoris to remove "impure tendencies" and prevent masturbation in girls? Yet circumcision still prevails here? what the fuck.
I'm circumcised and I'm cool with it. I know it's effed up when u think negative about it but it's not that bad. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Agreed, it's so outdated and unnecessary. Not to mention all the sensitive nerve endings that get cut off with the skin! The foreskin is beneficial to ensure the glans doesn't get dry, and it provides some lubrication to the penis.
I had found out the same info, and came to the same conclusion. Yet when my first son was getting ready to come into the world, I could do nothing to convince my then-wife and the doctors to leave him uncircumcised. Lots of American women have been programmed to question an uncircumcised dick too, tho. I've been with a lot of women who say they want nothing to do with foreskin. I don't know...we need a reeducation program on this and Mary Jane, I think...
it doesn't matter to me either way with a sexual partner and if i were to have a son i would let the father decide what he thinks is best for da penis
Wonder how this thread is going to turn out, let's sit back and watch. I'm for circumcision but I don't care that much. Something for parents to decide.
Why is it something for the parents to decide? Why not the boy when he's older? It's HIS penis after all.
Damn this thread got lucky with open minded people. Normally OP's who touch the subject get flamed like there's no tomorrow. Good work OP
My parents circumsized me.. I'm not complaining lol but I will definitely not do it to my future son.
Huge complications can be had later in life if a guy wants to be circumcised..BUT some men have to get circumcised later on due to poor hygienic sand done men have pain during sex because their foreskin doesn't stretch back enough or is too tight n causes pain n tearing
i am uncut and didnt know until i was in my midteens i think....my parents never told me otherwise, i never questioned it either to be honest, and the ladies didnt really mention anything when they saw it... if we have kids, we both agree to leave the skin on and let him decide whether or not.
I don't care much one way or the other, but If I'm gonna be honest, a circumcised peen looks much better than the latter.
Most men in the world are not circumcised and do just fine like that. It still should be their own choice. Also, some guys have pain during sex because they were cut too tight. I don't know the stats, but if I had to guess I'd say that's a bit more likely to happen You could come to have issues with just about any part of your body later in life. Doesn't mean you just start chopping shit off
