Brutal ! Having no fore would be like having a vivid with no lid haha.

Read this. Lolled. Then realised there's another 14 pages about foreskins to go.

At least you were smart enough not to read them.

Nothing barbaric about the pratice as long its done after birth.

As opposed to?

[Brownbikerbabe]

had to go and get circumised

What's your thoughts

"Had to" would signify to me that it was for medical reasons.

So if you don’t it could be… (puts on sun glasses) … the end of you?

Relctant to post this one .. because ... well you'll see ...

There's strong evidence to suggest that the circumcised penis losses sensitivity and therefore sex is better for uncircumcised males ... the protective foreskin maintains sensistivity in and below the glans, so when it is removed sensitivity is lost ..

And yeah .. now all you poor circumcised bastards can scream at me ... but you'll never know ...

And the ladies? Well girls, now you know what to look for in a man !

Singing:
"I got rhythm
...
I got my girl
Who could ask for anything more"

With no apologies to George Gershwin but plenty of thanks to my parents (who refused to do it to me ... )

Kind of attached to mine, might not be able to find it at all on those cold winter rides without it!
Always seemed like a bit of a barbaric practice, and although it may have had merit in the distant past I would struggle to find purpose in having it done today.

Has anyone made a bad pun about “leaving a tip” yet?

[terbang]

Well it didn't make me an axe murderer...

Well try harder...

"Barbaric" my arse. Surprisingly it's mostly women who get upset about male circumcision. I have yet to meet anybody who has been scarred emotionally by having their foreskin removed as a young infant, other than whiney Green Party voters.

This cracked me up, most guys I know are cut and not a single one has any issue with it.
To be honest, I wouldnt go near an un-cut guy, but that's personal preference.... I prefer the look and cleanliness of un-cut.

In the modern world however, there is little reason to circumcise. The medical benefits are as follows:
• Decrease in physical problems involving a tight foreskin
• Lower incidence of inflammation of the head of the penis
• Reduced urinary tract infections.
• Fewer problems with erections, especially at puberty.
• Decrease in certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV, HPV, chlamydia, syphilis in men and their partner(s).
• Almost complete elimination of invasive penile cancer.
• Decrease in urological problems generally.

Those are among the reasons I had my son circumcised and will have the next boy done too.
Their father was done, as was his father and grandfather.

I've also had 5 male family members (young children) who have had 'issues' where they have either had urinary issues, or infections, or worse and had to be treated - and one circumcised very late which was horrible for him!
I never want my children to be at risk of requiring a late circumcision.
The healing process when they are older is just awful!

I have a friend who was done at 20 as he had refused to admit to anyone he was so embarrased that he couldn't pee properly until he couldn't pee at all! It took him more than 10 minutes to pee 1/4 of a cup of urine! He finally was had up about it because he was also refusing sex due to the pain and ended up having to be circumcised! It's taken him almost a year to be able to have sex again! It was horrific for him!

Yeah fucking right....corse they feel it! they just dont remember it.

They absolutely feel it, but no more so than their 6 week vaccinations...
My son was 3 days old when I had him circumcised. I was in the room and there was no 'pinning' down.
A nurse and I stood at his head, held his hands and I stroked his head and talked to him throughout.
The Dr held his legs and performed the circumcision which took less than 10 seconds!
It took the Dr longer to sterilise the skin than to actually do it and while my son cried, he actually cried louder when the Dr was applying the iodine to his skin! He screamed at the cold of the iodine.... then was only having a whinge when they actually clipped him. I didn't realise it had even been done till the Dr asked me if I wanted to breastfeed him now.
He calmed and stopped crying within 2 minutes of the procedure.
He didn't show any discomfort in peeing afterwards.
Nappy changes were a breeze, he had no issue with me moving and cleaning around his penis right from the same day.
In the bath a week later, the bandage floated off after about 5 minutes and he was clean and happy!

As a direct comparision for those people arguing that the pain is unneccesary, 5 weeks later I had to take my son for his 6 week vaccinations.
When the first needle went in, my son screamed blue murder.
then they turned him round and put ANOTHER needle into his other leg and if I thought he screamed the first time, holy heck the second time, you would have thought they were amputating the leg without anaesthetic!!!!
He was absolutely inconsolable! It took me 20 minutes to calm him down!
I had thought after him barely noticing the circumcision that jabs would be easy, but no.
I think vaccinations are far more cruel!
Not to mention that I could barely touch either of his legs for 3 days as he would just cry out in pain - whereas I could touch and move his penis (dressed) within a couple of hours and he didn't react with any pain at all.

I think that if people WANT to circumcise their children then good for them.
But if you DON'T want to, then don't.

Rather pointless to abuse anyone for their choice though, won't make either side change their minds.... and for the most part, if you abuse someone for doing it the way they want to, you will likely just make their resolve stronger and they will be more likely to do it again.

We all have differing opinions for a reason. World would be a boring place if we all felt the same :P
