[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok medical journals aside, here's a perspective as a male that's not cut.

No one made fun of me in the locker room. A few friends who knew me well made jokes sometimes, but it was the same as making jokes about each other for anything other attributes we had (hair color, height, etc). I'm sure if I was cut, my friends would just have found some other attribute to make jokes about. It's part of growing up.

I've traveled in Europe extensively, and the norm there is not being cut.

This "non-hygienic" stuff is not really a big deal in practice. If there's one part of the body that every male pays attention to in the shower, it's his penis. It will get more soap and attention than any other part, so as long as he showers regularly in general, things will be fine.

I think the STD risk they refer to is because the skin on the glans (head) is softer/more sensitive if you're not cut, because it's in a protective sheath most of the time, so it's more likely to get abrasions during rough sex. In my wide experience, this never happened if your partner is lubricated, and this risk is only there if you are not using a condom. I had a rather err... "wild" life in my 20s including plenty of bareback sex with questionable women, and never had anything like this. I did get Chlamydia and Gonorrhea (like over half of all sexually active people in their 20s), but I'm pretty sure that came the way cut men get it also - via the urethra. No UTIs, no penile cancer. Those days are past me and I thankfully have a clean bill of health, despite doings lots of stupid stuff.

The benefit to not being cut is that the glans is sensitive = easier to masturbate and sex can be more stimulating.

If we have a son, we won't get him cut. [/quote]

Thank you.[/quote]
