Why don't every guys get circumcised?

[Anonymous]

With all the benefit from getting circumcised, why don't every parent cut their boys? I would appreciate everyone answers to that, thanks :)

[passinby]

One benefit is I can go a long time without getting off I guess due to the lower sensitivity--a long time. So I think it benefits the female orgasm for that reason. Of course it also helps to be hung too. As an infant I required the adult sized tool. I have been with a large number of diseased varmints and I was recently checked and still clean so the lower risk of diseases could be true. The odd thing is mine for some reason looks uncut and I do get asked about it because women think it is uncut. There is no way for me to compare obviously; but all I know is I wouldn't change a thing.

[Celtero]

"All the benefits." Like what? Not being able to feel anything?

Being uncircumcised is better. You can actually feel something and it's so much easier to masturbate. Only downside is you actually have to wash your dick and girls are apparently afraid of foreskin.

[Asker]

How do you not you feel anything when circumcised?

[Celtero]

Anything is an exaggeration... but with the removal of the foreskin nothing is protecting the glans from rubbing up against clothes, and over time this dulls the sensitivity. But really, circumcision is an outdated religious practice, and it only really useful for people too dumb to wash their dick... or those who have a medical issue.

[Repa33]

there's like no benefit to cutting it off. Its one of the most sensative parts. How would you feel if you parents cut off your clit?

[Repa33]

Also it genital mutilation. Its illegal to do to girls without consent, should be the same for dudes

[cootjuh]

Exactly well said!

[therainman]

I was cut and I'm perfectly fine.

[theflash675]

"Oh i was cut so im fine so that makes it right" dumbo

[therainman]

And your problem is?

[Asker]

There is a difference between cutting a foreskin and a clitoris itself tho.

[therainman]

That is true. Foreskin is just that: skin.

[Repa33]

Theyre both the most sensative part.

[therainman]

The skin is not as sensitive as the tip of the penis though.

[theflash675]

Skin with 20,000 nerve endings. Asker, you should just remove your labia instead. Thats the equivalent

[cootjuh]

Im glad i still have my skin 😁

[therainman]

The fact that some men can't pull back all the skin is what makes them have the surgery. Simple as that.

[Asker]

The 20k nerves ending are on the whole skin of the penis, not only the foreskin. Sure there is loss, but not much compare to removing a clitoris.

[Repa33]

Still. If someone removed your labia or the clit hood withour consent would you be okay?

[theflash675]

The 20k nerve endings are on 3 glands of the foreskin which are actually removed. And therainman cream fixes that no problem. There are tons of products for females vagina to help with their health issues. Want to speak on that too?

[Asker]

I mean if there were benefit sure. Both are quite pointless biologically.

[theflash675]

Asker, if you can tell me one actual benefit then you win.

[therainman]

I actually like the look of it as well. To me it looks much better than a completely covered penis.

[Repa33]

What benefits are there? Again, its a body mod that did not have consent. How is that okay?

[theflash675]

Therainman will you also choo the ears of your son like a dog if you liked the look of it?

[theflash675]

Chop*

[therainman]

Now you're just speaking nonsense.

[theflash675]

Says the guy who says its ok to chop a part of his penis off when he can't pull the skin back because he lacks the knowledge of there being less invasive treatments out there. Would you also chop your hand if you got a finger infection?

[therainman]

But since you brought it up: if your son had skin covering his ear and it could be a problem for him to hear, would you leave it like that?

[Repa33]

But the foreskin isn't a problem and removing it does nothing but decrease sensitivity

[therainman]

It actually increased my sensitivity

[theflash675]

Considering that the ear wasn't designed for that no. The problem with that logic is foreskin on the other hand has been developed throughout millions of years of evolution and is on all male mammals, yet just because 20% of men are cut and its some weird cultural thing for you do you expect other people to be clueless on such an obvious topic? Ill let you answer that

[Repa33]

Exactly

[Repa33]

The foreskin is the most sensative part. Good for you. It doesn't for most

[therainman]

I don't expect people to be clueless about that, no.

[Asker]

Well evolution gave us Wisdom tooth too, are they great to keep?

[Repa33]

Again. Whats the benefits you speak off

[theflash675]

Another strawman argument. Many humans lack wisdom teeth for that same reason of it not being needed. Why can't you answer the question i gave asker?

[Asker]

Its cleaner and look better.

[Repa33]

So? Who cares? Thats not a benefit! Thats an opinion and up to the individuals personal hygiene. I think labias are ugly and dirty shall we start cutting yours off first?

[therainman]

Benefits: reduced risk of urinary infections, prevention of inflammations on the foreskin and glans.

[Repa33]

Not by much though

[theflash675]

Girls create smegma too, you are in no position to talk about uncut boys being dirty when you produce the same stuff they do.

[therainman]

I'm not saying uncut boys are dirty though. You're the one who just said that.

[therainman]

Listen, I don't care about other guys' penises. I care about mine. I'm circumcised and I like it. I'm not gonna change it. Whoever likes it, fine. Whoever doesn't, there's plenty more penises out there.

[simonqq]

There is only one reason to circumcise and that's if there is a medical issue. The foreskin adds pleasure, protects the head, you are more lubed when turned on. The cleaning part may have been a benefit 200 years ago. It literally takes 3 seconds to clean your penis in the shower. Pull back the skin under the stream of water a few times and done. It's a visual modification that unless needed should only be allowed at the age of 18.

[therainman]

And mine was a medical reason. My brother didn't have the same issue and he's uncircumcised. So what?

[simonqq]

So nothing? That's all you had to say. You had it made because it was necessary medically. We are speaking of when it's done on babies for absolute no reason.

[Repa33]

They have no excuse now

[therainman]

Yeah, on babies is a bit much. At least let the kid know about it...

[theflash675]

Kids are not capable of making those decisions. Therainman what was your condition that you had

[therainman]

Phimosis

[theflash675]

You know there is cream for that right? Well its to late now anyways.

[therainman]

Was this cream around in 2001?

[simonqq]

Theflash there are actually cases where you need to have the skin removed. Where a cream is not enough. A doctor can decide that and has more knowledge than you :)

[theflash675]

A doctor is not exempt from wanting to take advantage of somebody and make a quick buck off them. Sometimes, surgery is the only option offered. In fact, a lot of doctors even pressure parents into cutting children for no logical reason. In a rare case where phimosis can't be cured then surgery is the last option but 99% of guys dont have that problem. So rainman. Unless you are the exception of a rare condition that can't be cured then you were played

[therainman]

I wasn't played. I wasn't the one who spent the money. Also if I'm happy with the result, how is that a downside?

[theflash675]

If you are happy you are happy. I consider having a part of my body taken from me under false pretense being played whether i payed for it or not. With that said maybe you were that 1%. My cousin who is a girl had an issue where her peehole was covered so they had to remove some skin. It happens.

[simonqq]

Well I'm speaking from a country where health care is free and I know that it's sometimes necessary. America is the only country that has circumcision on men that aren't religious. Because Kellogs pushed that campaign to stop masturbation. Now parents just think that's what they are supposed to do and "it looks better"

[therainman]

I don't if that was also the case with me though. If it was, even better for me now ahah

[therainman]

Uhh I was circumcised and I'm religious or American xD

[therainman]

I'm not*

[simonqq]

Therainman... Your case is still medical. I'm not talking about that :) there is a difference.

[therainman]

I know ahah xD

[memeqweenn]

I dunno, maybe because it's messed up to mutilate a baby's genitals?

[Boromir]

Just for my own personal statistics, what do you vote?

[matchrestore]

The science behind circumcision lowering the transmission of STDs is flawed for multiple reasons, and pertains to 3rd world countries, not the developed world. One of the main flaws of the African circumcision studies was that men who were circumcised were also taught about safe sex, given condoms, etc, whereas uncircumcised men were not. Of course men who are taught about safe sex and given condoms are going to have lower rates of STDs than those who aren't.

Other "benefits" that people site are very subjective. What looks better to one person may be the opposite of what looks better for another person.

[markscott]

Circumcision as an infant, is a fairly simple procedure, taking 5 - 10 minutes. The World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics say the benefits of circumcision outweighs the risks. Benefits include less chance of getting some STD's, including HIV. Fewer urinary tract infections, and fewer kidney infections, among others. However, circumcision when older, is more complicated, takes much longer, with a longer recovery period, and is more prone to problems, than when an infant. I'm pro circumcision for infants, but would hesitate to have a teenager circumcised, unless there was an issue that made it necessary.

[theflash675]

Circumcision business makes close to a billion dollars annually. Of course they would come up with a bunch of bull crap. Females are actually more likely to catch utis due to a shorter urethra, and catch stds by the way. Breast cancer is a real issue. Lets also lob off breasts too! Get real. Stds do not get prevented from getting cut. Safe sex does.

[markscott]

@theflash675 : I'm talking about male circumcision. And this scientific medical fact, not bull as you suggest. Your comparison of a small section of skin covering the glans of a penis, and lopping off a breast is ludicrous. I guess from your perspective, we should leave skin cancer on people, or just cut off their arms. It makes as much sense as you said. Re. making money. Most doctors make money, does this mean they are all suspect and can't be trusted? Same goes for nurses, patient aides, x-ray technicians, etc. The benefits from circumcising infants is determined by scientific medical research, not hysteria.

[Tomblebee]

@theflash675 To catch something someone has to be throwing. I wonder where they put all the offcuts :P

[markscott]

@Tomblebee : I heard one pediatrician used to throw all the foreskins in a closet, as he didn't know what to do with them. Years later, when he retired, he thought something should be done with the closet full of foreskins. He asked a friend, who was a leather worker, to make a piece of luggage out of them. A few days later, the friend showed up, giving the pediatrician a wallet made of the foreskins. The pediatrician asked, why was it that all those foreskins only made one wallet. The leather maker said, it is just a wallet, but if you rub the wallet, it turns into a suitcase.

[Tomblebee]

Why would yo usay that? I'm scared to open my cupboard and touch my wallet now thank you very much.

[theflash675]

"I'm talking about male circumcision" In the states alone they make around 800 million dollars a year. So i am talking about the dame thing. . "And this scientific medical fact, not bull as you suggest." Its not a medical fact if the majority of health organizations globally dismiss it. .

[theflash675]

"Your comparison of a small section of skin covering the glans of a penis, and lopping off a breast is ludicrous." Its as ludicrous as saying that cutting off foreskin actually prevents something. 80% of the worlds population is not cut yet there is no widespread disease that comes from it. This basic fact leaves your entire logic rendered. In the states we have the highest rate of HIV of any western nation, yet the majority of us are cut. There is no direct correlation between hiv and cutting males just because you have a false study. " I guess from your perspective, we should leave skin cancer on people, or just cut off their arms." You compared skin cancer, which is a disease that has already developed to cutting a new born baby over close to non existent issues with leaving a baby intact

[theflash675]

99% of babies do not face complications if left intact and only 2% of intact boys catch utis as newborns. Women are 4 times are likely to catch utis. Penile cancer which is another argument used only happens in 1 in 100,000 males. This is why i brought up the breast cancer argument. If you use feeble arguments then i compare them to other feeble arguments. Its that simple.

[Tomblebee]

@theflash675 Lemme guess. Cut and uncut?

[theflash675]

Are you uncut?

[Tomblebee]

@theflash675 How do I even answer that?

[theflash675]

Did you get you labia cut off women?

[Tomblebee]

@theflash675 For what purpose?

[theflash675]

For the same reason guys got their stuff cut. Its "cleaner"

[Tomblebee]

@theflash675 Have you never eaten dirt in your life? Did the cave-men do it?

[theflash675]

Stop smoking crack

[Tomblebee]

@theflash675 Do you cut off your toe if you get an ingrown toe nail?

[theflash675]

I think you are really confused. Why are you telling me this?

[Tomblebee]

@theflash675 Yeah I'm so confused.

[markscott]

@theflash675 : Two of the most important medical institution do say that infant circumcision is beneficial. The first is the World Health Organization, which is massive. The second is the American Academy of Pediatrics. And they determined this by rigorous scientific study, not by public opinion or public pressure from various groups and countries. Rigorous scientific study, leads to findings of fact. There findings were that infant circumcision was definitely beneficial, via the research. Just because medical institutions in some areas of the world dismiss this, does not change the facts of the research. The WHO and the American Academy of Pediatrics are not just some institution. They are recognized world wide as leaders. There is a lot history, research and substance behind their findings. Even if others disagree, the WHO and AAP have earned the right to hold their place, and to have their finding accepted as scientific and reasonable.

[Tomblebee]

Bahahah. Lol I got muddled with the pro and anti circ lol

[theflash675]

"Two of the most important medical institution do say that infant circumcision is beneficial. The first is the World Health Organization, which is massive." "Massive" but not the majority. Dont be fooled by the word "world" as for this topic it was mostly focused on North and West Africa and the americas. The "studies" that were taken place is just to make it seem like it has actual purpose. The irrefutable fact is simple. There are tons of countries of males who are not cut who do not face the same epidemics that Ugandan people or people from congo face. Why? Not because of foreskin but because of a ton of other variables that you are to lazy to take into account. You want to talk about the history of the research? They used to claim masturbation made you blind and would make you crazy. For those reasons, they said circumcision was justifiable. The only difference now is that the "studies" are revised into more bullcrap. You aren't fooling me

[markscott]

@theflash675 : You are making ridiculous comparisons. The masturbation comments you made, were never researched. They were just beliefs, without proper research. Which is what a lot of anti-circumcision beliefs are.

[theflash675]

Look up kellog, and his "research" you aren't spouting anything new. It just sounds different. The studies involve a lot of fallacies, its just now they are a bit more clever.

[markscott]

@theflash675 : This is foolishness. Kellogg didn't use the rigorous scientific methods that are used today. What you are doing, is like saying the ancient Chinese with their rockets, didn't use good mathematical standards, so the rockets putting up satellites today, are false or fake. If this kind of foolishness, re. Kellogg, is the best you've got, then you have a very weak argument indeed.

[theflash675]

You compared ancient chinese to something that happened less than a century ago and i have a weak argument lol. Dont forget that quantum mechanics was already a developed theory during his time too so it wasn't like they were in thw stone age. There was no excuse for him to make such outlandish claims and spread propaganda on masturbation. His claims hold just as much weight as the claims you make today. They are non existent. All your "studies" do is use a bunch of fallacies to make it seem like they have a point.

[markscott]

@theflash675 : Are you able to stay on topic?

[theflash675]

Coming from the guy who brought up ancient chinese and rocket science.

[Tomblebee]

Tension in the air

[EdwardMoon]

Keep in mind removing the skin is almost like removing the hood of the clit so the dick will be a lot more sensitive but the pluses do out weigh the cons

[Cammy137]

Well for starters, it reduces sensitivity. My girlfriend has said several times that she's glad im not circumcised. Plus, you say "with all the benefits" but there aren't that many.
If my parents had had me circumcised as a baby, id be pissed. You can't just chop skin off dicks.

[Patrickjv]

Good bait

[Specs_]

While there are some benefits to cutting it, there are also some benefits to keeping it. Also some parents nowadays feel that it's cruel to cut it off at such a young age, when the baby has no consent at all.

[MrMilti]

Why dont all girls get circumcised?

Because its horrible to cut off babies bodyparts without any consent! Stay the fuck away from my foreskin!

[MyNewAccount109]

They felt it was cruel or wrong

[Anpu23]

What benefits? There are no proven medic

[Anpu23]

Medical benefits and the non medical ones are questionable at best. Further it is a surgery and has the risks associated with surgery including infection and there have been reported cases of death.

[omggrae]

Well it's a jewish tradition. They didn't have em big so they thought let's make it cute! Personally I would not, I hear there is a lot more sensitivity down there when circumcised. I dunno about all of you, but if the cock stays hard for longer then the sex keeps going. It's no fun to come before she does unless it for quick release. But that's what porn is better used for. The longer it can last, the better a built up orgasm.

[genericname85]

why don't we cut the labia minora off of girls vagina? i mean they're kind of ugly and it's more hygienic without them anyway right? why only cut guys?

[worldscolide]

Because the mother chooses to mutilate their babies because they think the circumcised penis is more attractive.. The American society of pediatrics has stated that there are benefits but not enough to make every baby get the procedure done

www.aap.org/.../Newborn-Male-Circumcision.aspx

After a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence, the American Academy of Pediatrics found the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks, but the benefits are not great enough to recommend universal newborn circumcision. The AAP policy statement published Monday, August 27, says the final decision should still be left to parents to make in the context of their religious, ethical and cultural beliefs.

[LiamSaw]

In Canada there is no charge to get circumcised so promoting it for money making is bunk. It has been proven that it's easier to to keep clean and also provides less chance of sexual disease. When circumcised it's impossible to get these to common problems phimosis and paraphimosis, that many uncircumcised guys get. In recent studies it also has been proven that women with circumcised partners have a 49% less chance of getting cervical cancer. Not to mention that a high percentage of woman prefer a circumcised penis especially while performing oral. I'd say those are some significant benefits. To those that say it's like cutting off a woman's clit, grow up, if you have to compare it to a woman it would be more like cutting off the clit hood although not very similar.

[Kuraj]

Clinical research performed in first world countries shows that there are no benefits to circumcisions, but that there is a fair degree of risks.

As such, it is a practice that should be outlawed, not kept being perpetuated by mentally ill women with deeply rooted misandrist issues, that really should have no say in matters of bodily integrity that isn't theirs.

[therainman]

In my case for example it was with my consent. Though I was just 6 or 7, my parents told me it was a solution.

[GizZzmo]

What benefits? It was more hygienic back when hygiene was an issue... but most people have showers... so clean it... also think it's pretty upsetting for the baby? Sure it won't remember in maybe a year? But at that time it's just going to feel pain. It's something that was done for a reason. Now it's pointless in most cases

[WeirdoWerdo]

It's like female mutilation. Guys looses the sensitivity in their dick especially the part which us the sensitive making sex less enjoyable

[Ozzieguy]

What benefit? There's so many negatives to it.

[Tomblebee]

Such as?

[Ozzieguy]

@Tomblebee masturbation/sex can be really painful without lube. Then depending on which medical data and evidence you want to follow there are a number of other reported issues that can arise such as reduced sensation, reduction in overall size, as well as reported to be less pleasurable to women during sex.

[Tomblebee]

Apples and pears.

[vald9inches]

@Ozzieguy i am circumcised and i have no trouble at all masturbating or having sex without any lube and i am extremely well endowed so I don't know wtf you are talking about ozzie that just propaganda right there! your chances of contracting an std is less when you are circumcised by the way.

[Ozzieguy]

@vald9inches CAN was the word used in the sentence, I didn't say circumcision decreases your penis size to other people, you don't know if your penis would be bigger without the circumcision. These are all things that have been reported and the data has been obtained from numerous surveys and studies.

[Tomblebee]

Exactly... How would you know?

[Ozzieguy]

@Tomblebee reading different articles of research, surveys collected from adult males that got circumcised and the statistical data drawn from it?

[Tomblebee]

How would u be able to compare your cut vs uncut dick if uv only ever known the one..

[Ozzieguy]

@Tomblebee I just answered that question. Adult males that got it done were surveyed about these things.

[Tomblebee]

At the end of the day it is an individuals decision.

[Ozzieguy]

@Tomblebee exactly which is why boys shouldn't get circumcised as babies because they didn't get to chose? Thanks for agreeing with me.

[Tomblebee]

I put this in the same boat as parents choosing to get their babies ears pierced

[skateranon123]

Hell no I love the fact I'm uncut. My cousin had problems and had to get it cut as an emergency I'm not sure what the reason but it was medical. I remeber the smell of blood if he would sit next to me and one day he told me that sex doesn't feel as good anymore

[NovissimumVirorum]

I hate that I am circumcised since I didn’t get a choice and lead to some excess skin problems for me

[Nandor]

I dont know

[Stewart997]

Well despite what everyone else is saying, I'm circumcised because I had to be when I was 8 due to a problem I had. It looks so much nicer with no foreskin and it's more hygienic whether you clean it regularly or not with foreskin. It's just overall better id say

[therainman]

I completely understand you, dude. I was cut when I was around the same age.

[Stewart997]

Just easier and better isn't it

[therainman]

I think it is, yes.

[theflash675]

What was the problem that you had that couldnt be solved medically?

[Stewart997]

I had a cut on the end of my foreskin that really stung when I pissed and also bled sometimes

[theflash675]

There are less invasive ways to deal with that.

[Stewart997]

Well that's what they did and I'm glad

[theflash675]

So if you get another cut, which is more than possible. Will you trim more skin down on your penis?

[Stewart997]

I mean I don't need another cut it's absolutely fine

[Revolver_]

I know why

[Seppel]

It's not common where I live

[Nachowedgie]

There's no benefits to getting circumcised, only negatives

[masterkamasutra]

its more cultural thing than health, so many would go against it.

[jamyles1243]

Usually it's don't at birth and if not I can't imagine a guy wanting a piece of his dick cut off.

[jamyles1243]

Done at birth*

[Seppelson]

I think circumcision is wrong

[Firamax]

There isn't really proven science on benefits of circumcision. If you are talking about cleanliness, thats up to the individual to clean their penis. If you are talking about the supposed longer lasting sex, again its on the individual

[Tharon01]

What do you mean with benefits? There are non.
Circumcision is a heavy body mutilation and a young boy can't defend itself. Circumcision should be banned

[therainman]

What about guys who can't completely pull the foreskin back? Do they have to live with that? It can cause trouble, you know?

[1nittol3arn]

@therainman that's why it should be done when the person feels like it's needed. Not on a baby with no choice.

[therainman]

Yeah, on a baby is taking it too far. I had mine when I was around 6 years old.

[Anonymous]

I also don‘t understand why it isn’t standard.

[Anonymous]

Because an uncut man has more sexual pleasure.

[Opinion Owner]

Gals I've been with have told me that they prefer uncut. It feels better for both parties. The only benefit I can see relevant is if the guy doesn't like to shower.

[jamyles1243]

How does it feel better for the girl? I don't understand why it would make a difference.

[Opinion Owner]

@jamyles1243 the skin makes it fatter around the head for one. For two it's double thrusting as the skin moves and the dick.

[Anonymous]

Because it's stupid and pointless, unless done for medical or religious reasons.

[Anonymous]

Why dont you get circumcised? Pretty sure i can smell your vagina cheese a mile away

[Tomblebee]

How does that help?

[Opinion Owner]

What do you mean?

[Tomblebee]

How do you cut off a hole?

[Opinion Owner]

You are either a boy on a girl account or you dont know your own body. I saw some other question with you by the way. I see you have multiple accounts

[Tomblebee]

That was speculative.

[Tomblebee]

How would cutting off anything from the exterior stop the internal fermentation of potential cheese factories?

[Opinion Owner]

Becauseit builds up in the labia or around the clitoral hood like it builds up in the foreskin of guys.

[Tomblebee]

Ah. Valid response

[Opinion Owner]

Clean ur cheese

[Tomblebee]

I like cheese

[Anonymous]

What the hell!!!🙄🙄

[Anonymous]

Up to the parents if they want their kid cut or uncut. Personally if I have a son. He will probably get cut. I could care less a out religion reason. More like I'm cut, so he will be. Keep family tradition alive.

[BrianMerritt]

Silly.

[Anonymous]

Well first off baby boys don't get a decision on whether or not to get circumcised. Something feminism never talks or cares about. Also, the "health" benefits of circumcision is now being revealed as a myth. Also nerve tissue is removed and it may impact the sexual experience. The skin acts as a "sheath" and actually is supposed to increase pleasure for the female as well.

I'm circumcised. And now after reading more about this I'm starting to have second thoughts about doing this to any future sons I have.
