OK ladies, does it really make a difference?

    Ourcrazymodern? still, wondering

    The terms we use provide our differences, unless we're willing to rely on our eyes to not see otherness. Indelicately, I rely on others' statements to shape how reality forms. Regarding the difference? Fuckers use whatever they have or have been left with. Sensitivity is an issue. Distracting as the day is long.

    Genital mutilation by any other name. The cleanliness argument is a red herring; it's not hard to clean -at all- if you shower daily with soap. If someone told me a cleft tongue made cunnilingus better, I still wouldn't do it, and I'd laugh in their face if they discriminated against me for not doing it. In short, if a consenting adult chooses to get circumcised, more power to them. I just don't believe unless there is a medical necessity that it should be performed, particularly on minors.

    Minors? How about 3 day old infants? My ex-husband overrode my decision not to get our son circumsized - an ego based decision on his part, having nothing to do with religious tradition or crazy concerns over cleanliness - he simply wasn't going to have HIS SON sporting a penis that didn't look like his. I believe it is this factor, more than any other, that has kept the practice going in the US.

    Just something to think about.. how easy is it to clean when you are old, probably have dementia, and don't have full use of your hands, let alone the ability to get in and out of the shower/bathtub easily? I've heard of a number of men being circumcised very late in life because of infections and the like. Not that I'm advocating for circumcision.
     
  8. Well hell when I get old and not able to use my hands on my penis, the last thing I'll miss is cleaning it. If you know what I mean. :D

    I stated pretty clearly in my first post: "I just don't believe unless there is a medical necessity that it should be performed" - Infection is one of the medical cases where it may be necessary, after all other medical options have been exhausted. Amputations are a last resort for every other infection, I fail to see how this is any different.

    because you can still lead a "normal" life (unheard of in TFP but moving on) after getting circumcised without a prosthetic.
    other amputations... not so much.

    Well the research results are pretty mixed, some men who get circumcised experience erectile dysfunction and other sexual side effects. There's always a risk when you're chopping off a part of yourself.

    My now-husband was the first guy that I slept with who was circumcised. This in itself should tell you something about my thoughts on the matter. In my little sample size, completely un-scientific as it was, circumcised men last longer. While this is great, lack of foreskin seems to make it more difficult for the guy to enjoy sex, and when they guy isn't as sensitive or having fun, it's far more difficult for the woman to get into it. I second what Pony mentioned - hand jobs are significantly more of a challenge with a circumsized man. A penis just doesn't pull properly without a foreskin. It also requires more lubrication for intercourse.

    I have to agree wholeheartedly. I was circumcised and had no say in the matter and it was truly a batched job, I don't know if I moved and they didn't have me "knocked out" or that the doctor was just an idiot. Anyway, it is difficult to truly have pleasure due to the botched job. Oral especially, it just doesn't "feel" right and can be painful. Since I have no way to compare just ideas from what I have heard by those that weren't hacked, I can't really say that being hacked is better or worse. In my case I can last quite awhile because it does take so much to actually "feel" anything.

    Two things occur to me.

    First - regarding the sensitivity thing (barring medical accidents, of course) - my experience is that there is no loss of pleasure (having been circumcised for medical reasons, after puberty). It's different, but just as pleasurable.

    Second - regarding hand jobs - women must be doing something wrong if they need more lube, etc. We manage just fine on our own!

    That said, I see no reason for circumcising children and never had my son circumcised.

    I suppose if it weren't for the religious aspect, I wouldn't care one way or another. Obviously, I am circumcised, and any son of mine will be circumcised, but if I weren't Jewish? I dunno what I'd do or think about it.

    If I had been given a choice ( when grown up, obviously ) I would have opted not to be cut. I don't hate my parents, but don't think it was right for them to do it. They thought it was right, so they did. If I ever have a son, I won't.
