I won't get into the gory mechanics of how it interacts with the penis to give you an orgasm, you can look that up yourself if you want.

I too have foreskin and whilst I do enjoy my foreskin I have a friend who is lacking in the foreskin department and is content with his lack of foreskin (and he gets more pootang then then myself and most of my skinned friends)

"foreskin" four times!

1886 William G. Eggleston declares that foreskin causes crossed eyes
1894 P.C. Remondino says circumcising blacks will help prevent them from raping whites.
1991 Aaron J. Fink declares mass circumcision is necessary to prevent sand from getting into the soldiers' foreskins. :pac: (i have got you ...under my skin)

2007 L. de Witte finds that >>Langerhans<< cells found in the foreskin are a natural barrier to HIV infection

No connection, I was just implying that his lack of foreskin in no way hinders his 'abilities' (I'm assuming, I've never actually been present or done any comparisons).

Basically himself, and others here who have posted, have no qualms over their parents having made that choice for them.

Comic-book hero ‘Foreskin Man’ criticised as anti-Semitic

HIS FISTS CLENCHED and muscles rippling beneath a tight blue suit, the yellow-caped character appears poised to take on evil-doers.

But as his name suggests, “Foreskin Man” is not a typical comic-book superhero, and neither is his choice of adversaries: doctors who practice circumcision and Orthodox Jews who support the religious ritual.

San Diego activist Matthew Hess says he conceived the internet comic series last year as a way to boost his budding national effort to outlaw circumcision.

This effort has so far led to a measure on San Francisco’s ballot in November that would make it illegal to perform a circumcision on a boy under 18.

Recently, though, the comic series has drawn criticism from those who deride Hess’ imagery as anti-Semitic and liken it to 1930′s Nazi propaganda.

Baaa... they have no sense of humour!

They'd rather be stoning dogs!

Same here. I guess having a foreskin is a natural thing. It should be removed only if there is a genuine medical reason to do so.

BTW, I'm always amused when I see or hear the word "foreskin", because it reminds me of happy times at university. There used to be a type of joint that was made using four rollup papers. Legend had it that it had originated in Maynooth, for which reason it was called a "Maynooth four-skin". Oh, if only someone could invent a time machine and take me back to those wonderful days ....:pac:

I love foreskin, you can play and pull it gently.

I dont see why religious people cant wait for their children to turn 18 and then ASK them if they wanted it done. Religiously its kinda the same as forcing children to be baptised to go to a school in Ireland.

LOL.

I agree that it would probably be better to wait until lads are old enough to decide for themselves whether or not they want to have their snags snigged.

But, as I have already pointed out earlier on the thread, I wouldn't expect to see long queues of 18-year-olds waiting to have it done.

Chinasea

I couldn't believe that Christina Aguilera went and got her baby boy circumcised just because of her husband’s hideous beliefs (and she's not even with him anymore).

What's the story Christina, you strutted around the place like a liberal mama and yet off you went like a sheep following a misguided out of touch ancient barbaric flock = not exactly progressive.

Has anybody been circumcised as an adult?

Would you recommend it?

I ask because a friend of mine.....

There must be practical reasons for getting it done as an adult.

Just off the top of my head :

1. Its a useful bit of skin for a skin graft to fix those ear stretcher yokes.

2. It could hold a few pens in a handy leather bind.

3. It would make an unusual frame for a monocle.

4. Napkin ring.

5. Leather jacket for a big toe.

In fairness it is going to waste on the end of a flute. Its the second most attractive part of the male body after the scrotum.

Its a terrible way of repairing that. The best way is to let them shrink naturally or if the piercing was very large you can simply cut off the excess and sew it back together.

Yep, it's mutilation. If someone needs surgery later in life that's different.

Boys need this explained to them in class so they know what to watch for in case they need it.

My guess is they want to reduce masturbation and hence increase the chances of pregnancy among the flock, proving once again that religious types are chronic ****.

Circumcision reduces masturbation? I didnt get that memo.

There was some guy on NewsTalk tonight representing Irish Jews (he was pro-circumcision) who played the anti-semitism card tonight.

Yeeep, I know the guy personally and he links every little criticism back to anti-Semitism. Actually, I recommend anyone who's in doubt of the anti-Semitism card being played continually by the Jewish community and abused constantly to take a look at the Israel in Ireland facebook page- it's shocking how many times the moderator brings everything back to the holocaust
