    Was always a Jew thing never a Christian practice. Most people on this island are confirmed full made members of the Roman Catholic Church, you can never leave, in Christ till Final Judgement.

    Anyway, I think it's fantastic. I think foreskins are completely gross now. Although it's definitely true about the reduced sensitivity, I think the benefits outweigh the cost. Plus, when you jizz, the sensation is just as good... It'll probably just mean a longer build-up, and I can't really see how that's a bad thing either.

    If someone thinks big labia are gross, should FGM be considered? Is it fantastic when they're removed?

    Had it done when I was 23 for medical reasons. It's fine but I would absolutely not have got it done if there was a choice in the matter.
    The recovery (6 weeks to be fully right) in particular was awful.

    Useless trivia. Unless one is Jewish.

    It's not a rabbi, it's a mohel.

    That went completely over your head.

    Prb been covered, But It started out In desert environment/hot places as a prevention of infection. I.e. not washing and sand being trapped benith the foreskin. Not the same as a vagina they are pretty much self cleaning with discharges and all that And the overall design.

    This is a myth. In a time before antibiotics and sterilised surgical tools circumcision would have caused far more infections than it could possibly have prevented.

    Lack of understanding of ancient medicine I see. Who were the first ones to nose jobs ? contrary to belief ancient medicine was quite good. You may be thinking of Terrible western medicine.

    I'm circumcised and I have to say I can't imagine any fella not having it done , I think I'd hate the feel of it but I suppose I wouldn't know any different, I had it done as a baby and sur nobody remembers what happens them a baby so I can't see the harm in it
    that sounds a lot like denial. you were assaulted and mutilated as an infant for no real reason and you're trying to rationalise it.

    That's a myth. How much sand do you think you can get in your foreskin? And the early Israelites lived in hill country, not sandy deserts.

    Adults chopping bits of children's genitalia off.

    Fucking creepy.

    That's exactly how an alien species would likely view us.

    By that logic someone whose toenail falls off isn't a real person, since part of them is missing.

    Toe nails grow back foreskin doesn't. As someone else mentioned if it was a choice given to teenagers or adults it would never be done.

    It is a horrible practice and should be outlawed on children.

    The only people who think it's OK and argue for it are the people who have had it done.

    Which tells you something doesnt it?

    I'm not arguing for it, parents can do what they want. But I had it done to me as a baby and honestly I dont have any complaints. Really never give it much thought except for threads like this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,053 ✭✭✭pl4ichjgy17zwd


    Plenty of men who've had it also speak out against it. There's also a whole foreskin restoration movement.

    They also used to casturate baby males before so that they would have high pitched voices for church hym singing. true story.

    Sore as feck that's for sure, but on a personal note being told by numerous sexual partners through out my life that I had plenty of staying power in the bedroom and done a bit of research on it and yes guys that get the procedure done young will find it hard(excuse the pun) to climax during sex, hence the staying power

    I reckon this is wrong? If you're not cut then you have skin covering the head (where the nerves are located). So would it not be the other way around? Someone who got the snip should be a lot more sensitive.

    I have actually noticed circumcised partners did find it harder to ejaculate, sometimes they even couldn't

    I'm guessing from your username that you own a penis? From the '92' bit I further guess that your in your 20s.

    You do know that, ideally, your foreskin should retract? Jeez. Am I really explaining this to an adult male?!?

    :D

    The foreskin is packed with nerves http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17378847

    Well, rolls back and forth is a better way of explaining it. And just thinking, this would cause more pleasure! So yeah don't mind me!
