I’m so glad I’m circumcised. Unless theirs was botched then I suspect they’re just miserable at life and trying to find random things to play victim about. No well adjusted grown man is wishing he had a turtleneck in his free time.

How much experience do you have with an uncircumcised penis?

It’s not just aesthetics.

You're right it's not just about aesthetics. I've had many an experience with uncircumcised penises and can tell you uncircumcised ones can have a lot of... fromunda cheese I guess is the nicest way to put it. Not all men know how to keep themselves clean, which can lead to medical problems.

And yes, we all went to very good colleges and are white upper middle class. Sorry if that offends you. We circumcise where I’m from and for health reasons alone I’m all for it. Snip away!

Your attitude is disgusting. You are talking about your own child here. This isn’t a joke. SMH

I know at least five people with multiple advanced degrees, multilingual, amazing careers, and every other western cultural attribute associated with “class” who are as God made them.

So please keep your silly, uninformed, pro-genital mutilation bigotry to yourself.

I have a PhD, my husband a masters. My parents are doctor and lawyer. My brother is not circumcised and nor is my son.

Our very wealthy friends (partner in law firm and marketing exec) have 2 boys that are not circumcised.

I am sure there are many more in our circle of friends, but we haven’t seen their kids naked or have we discussed the issue.

Bottom line is that it is NOT a lower/uneducated decision whatsoever.

Wort people who travel and perhaps lived abroad understand this… the others don’t I guess

How would they know they have lost sensation if they have been circumcised as an infant? This is weird. They wouldn’t know any different.

Well this is a non explicit forum, but I assume the issue is that they take a long time to “finish”, longer than they have been told is normal, and/or do not find sexual touch very pleasurable despite wanting to. Needing to use pron because the sensation alone is not enough would be another symptom.

There is no way to know that this is from the circumcision alone since they have no basis for comparison. There are people who are intact who also have sexual problems.

Sure. What is also true is that when that skin is alway exposed, sensation diminishes. If you compare the skin of a circumcised penis and an intact one you will notice how different the skin looks. The circumcised penis’ skin looks almost like the skin in other body parts while the uncircumcised penis’ skin is very different, thinner and almost translucent.

Yes, this. Also, hopefully without getting too graphic, there are special things that they can put over the head to try to regain sensation and they all notice improvement. Which makes sense since a circumcised one is basically calloused and if you stop the abrasion then you can usually thin the skin back to normal eventually. But they say it doesn’t ever go back to how it should have been terms of sensation, even if they wear that thing permanently.

So if you are looking at it from your child’s self esteem perspective the likelihood that they will be rejected because you didn’t get it done is more likely. Why give your kids something to have a complex about.

This is what it came down to for us when deciding. I had friends complain about the smell of the uncirced.

Men complain about the smell of vaginas too so what surgery should we undertake on our daughters to make sure that they please these certain men?

Balls smell too. Should we castrate all boys?
