My grandpa was Jewish so my mom had me cut because of that. It may tie into religious and cultural background but I think parents do it because "I thought everyone does it?"

According to the study, an uncut foreskin is more likely to tear during sex. These tears serve as an entry point for the HIV virus, which binds to white blood cells, and the tip of the foreskin contains a high number of white blood cells.

Seems like a compelling reason to get a son cut.

Saying that circumcision prevents catching AIDS or other STD is just so hilarious as saying that the ghost shirts of the indians protected them from the bullets of the 7th cavalry regiment.

Do you circumcised guys really believe you'll be safe if you stick your cock in an infected pussy just because you don't have foreskin? Good luck! The higienic reason is also rather lame in civilized environment with easy access to water and soap.

Tight foreskin sucks. I suggest a stretcher kit like the one from http://www.phimocure.net also consider getting betamethasone .1%.



As an adult, I wouldn't recommend getting a circumcision.

What medical reasons? I've heard of it becoming harder to pull the foreskin down and sometimes you have to get cut for that. This happened to me a while back. It got tighter and became kind of painful for me to pull it down so I looked around online and read about this happening sometimes to guys. I had to "excercise" it back into shape in the shower by stretching it down and holding it.

Girls are stupid and can't tell the difference unless you tell them and they get a closer look. I think I've had one or 2 even say anything about it.

Yeah I had some extreme phimosis going on, had it my entire life and just decided to get rid of my foreskin. No major regrets so far.

Significantly reduces is not the same as prevents. Your bilingual dictionary may have mistranslated that one.

I'm not a native speaker so there is room for missunderstoods, however he stated that circumcision reduces the chances for AIDS and other STD, which implies that somehow, in soma cases, for some reason prevent those men from catching those STD while an uncut man would have more chances to catch it.

I've heard that speech a lot from my muslim friends... and at least in their case they use all kind of scientific or pseudo scientific points such as circumcised men develop a bigger cock, their erections last longer, less odds of catching STD, it's cleaner when the fact is that it happens because it's a cultural tradition and even if it were proved that it was negative or unhealthy for men to be mutilated like that they'd still be for circumcision and if it were proved it's positive for health and it were not part of their heritage they'd be against it.

Agreed. I think it's like most things, if you don't give a fuck they don't. My point there was that a lot of girls don't even really understand what it means. Hell, I've met girls who didn't know that the penis gets bigger when erect, or that there's one ball sack and not two (usually 18-20 age group). As hilarious as I find that, it's probably a good thing for a girl to not be a cock anatomy expert.

The point is that a woman has no right to complain about an uncircumcised penis. That's how every man is born and it's completely natural.

Can you imagine what happens in those tribes when they "miss" while using an axe??? No more dick.

African tribes also practice female circumcision, so I wouldn't take everything they do as the model for society.

Yes, there are may hospitalisations and deaths every circumcision season. It doesn't help that in the modern world it is typically carried out in Winter (School holidays) and the larger ritual includes a couple of weeks sleeping rough in the countryside. Your ability to fight infection is probably compromised in these circumstances. I'm not really recommending it, or not. Just pointing out that it is considered an important practice more widely than among Jews and Muslims. For the Xhosa important enough to accept pretty severe risks.

Can't speak for all African tribes, but the Xhosa do not practice female circumcision. I don't think female circumcision is practiced widely in sub-Saharan Africa. Probably only by small groups of hard core Islamists. Christians and Animists are unlikely to practice it.

You are right that it is not practiced much is Sub-Saharan Africa, but it is not just a "few" small tribes that practice it in Africa.

This most likely has to do with the top countries who practice this are predominantly Muslim. In Islam it is just as common as it is in Judaism to get clipped. Though I'm surprised that Libya, Morocco, or Algeria don't have a higher rate. But like it says, these estimates are uncertain. I'm sure many more people in those countries get clipped because they are Muslim.

I'm uncircumsized and I'm Mexican-American. I think that has something to do with it. I'm the type of guy who will ask others stuff like this (you can call it rude or having no shame) for example my cousins in Mexico aren't cut, neither are my friends who live here in Cali.

It's an American thing in my opinion. (Jewish would work too but I know Christians who are cut.)

P.S Don't call me homosexual for knowing if my cousins/friends are cut lol

It just happens to some guys. Honestly, I have always had a tight foreskin, while I have never been unable to pull the skin back while flacid, it is sometimes very difficult/painful to pull back the skin while fully erect.

To answer your question, it can take a couple of months to fully stretch out the skin, and it probably depends on which ring you start with. I started with one of the mid sized rings a couple weeks ago and moved up one size already, so at this rate, I will have moved through the largest size after a couple of months.

I've heard that circumcision removes a lot of the pleasure nerves and that sex with an uncircumcised dick would be much more sensitive. This comes from reports of people who became circumcised in adulthood.

On the plus side, I've heard you get something called "dick cheese" that builds up under the foreskin and it's pretty nasty.

I was circumcised shortly after birth, and needless to say I was not consulted about it. I refused to have my two sons circumcised. If they wish to change that in the future, of course, that will be their own decision.

This is how it started. Some Rabbi tried to get his wife to give him head and she said no because the foreskin was gross and had a weird texture to it when tried to suck him off. So he went to his cousin the doctor and asked him what he could do. He thought about it for a few minutes and decided to snip off the foreskin. His wife loved it so much that she sucked him off every day for the rest of their marriage. Word spread through the community and it became a fashionable thing to do. So they wrote it into the Torah. And the people rejoiced
