Penises - circumsized or not, what's the big deal?

I was just reading a thread about how a female was upset about potentially playing with an uncircumcised penis.

I don't get it so please...what is the big hullabaloo about whether a cock is circumcised or not??

It is a cultural thing for people from the U.S.. I guess that women from here are just so used to seeing the circumcised ones that the others look strange. Plus there is the hygiene thing, we have been told for so long that an uncircumcised penis has the possibility to carry bacteria and such. I guess that is the reason that there are so many cases of diseases being spread by uncircumcised penises in the rest of the world....oh wait a sec.

Maybe it's just my bad eyesight but I don't really see a major difference. And we always play safe so it gets covered with a condom anyways. I have only encountered one time where I didn't want to play because of penile issues (well, it was one of the issues) and it had nothing to do with circumcision!

When they are hard there is not much diff except for the looseness of skin on the shaft...but soft, there is a big diff. IMO they are much less attractive when uncut, but that's just me. Could be bc I was raised in the US so it's less common? Not sure.

Oh yeah and the head of an uncircumcised penis is much more sensitive because its not used to rubbing on stuff all day, so the men seem to lose it a lot quicker. At least, that's the excuse I heard. Lol

Meh, no big deal to me...I prefer cut, but that's just a preference, it would never be a deal breaker.

Hmmm...I think on a whole, penises aren't as attractive to look at (unless you are the reason they are in an aroused state...) in comparison to other body parts. I also grew up in the US but I never really understood the hang-up of circumcision.

As for sensitivity...I haven't really played with a male that was less sensitive when it came time to play.

Erm, I don't actually think penises are attractive at all, cut or uncut. Useful, lovely, something I definitely want in my life? Oh, yeah. Attractive? Nope. I don't discriminate, though, and will happily make do with whatever is on offer.

I didn't circumsize my son because it's his body, his penis, and if wants to get it cut he can but it will not be me deciding that for him. When I was interviewing new daycares for because of our mood, people had no clue on how to take care of it. I had to note "wipe what is seen" because they assumed they had to retract it.

I hope his future partners will roll with it.

Pun intended? lol

I didn't realize there were women who wouldn't be with a guy who wasn't circumcised. As if we didn't have enough to worry about with whether it was big enough. Now I need to worry weather my foreskin will freak her out?!

I remember those same conversations with our babysitters.

I'm sure when our boys are older there will be no problem. I think not being circumcised is very common now. Actually, I looked it up and the circumcision rate in the US now is around 56%, so circumcision would still win an election, but uncircumcised is getting pretty close. In the 1970's the rate was 90%.

I've never been with an uncircumcised man, but I think it would be fun and interesting.

I worked in a daycare with uncircumcised babies. We were told to retract to clean properly. Schmegma is disgusting.

I can see why one would feel the way you do though, about letting him decide on his own.

Interesting stats! I would have thought the rate to be much higher but them again men born back then are in my age range so I suppose that's why I thought it was so.

We also did the same for our son. Personally, I find it a bit barbaric to still be practicing circumcision with all the uproar that we have in the US when it comes to female genitalia mutilation in other cultures.

My wife only likes cut. Its her desire and I'm not going to argue it with her

I'm not going to get into the circumcision argument as I find most of it to be hyperbole and not based on science but near propaganda, but I had my son circumcised after a LOT of study.

Mrs two4you prefers cut, but it isn't a deal breaker or anything like that.

Oh, dear God, no. This is what I get for clicking to make that picture bigger. I knew better and did it anyway.

This is not correct. In babies and toddlers the foreskin is not easily retracted and is supposed to be that way. If you pull it back it is painful and damaging. When a child is about three the foreskin loosens and then you can teach them to clean under it.

I'm with the school of thought that no person has the right to order the mutilation of another's body.

You may be correct. One of the babies moms was a pediatrician and this is what she told us. I never thought to question it.

For what it's worth, they never seemed to be in any pain when we were changing them.

When our older son was born, a nurse in the hospital told us to move his foreskin back to clean it. It didn't work so we asked the doctor on our next visit. He told us to definitely NOT do that and immediately scheduled a training session for the nurses in the maternity ward.

Funcoupledayton is right. It will loosen up on it's own.

I have also heard this too.

Ya learn something new every day! :p

I prefer cut but it is no big deal for me either way. I have had plenty of both and enjoyed them all!

I am one of those lucky enough to have received the rabi 10% discount.... Have to say though, I am quite enamored of mine.

The women i have been with don't know iam not cut till I'm soft,by then they don't care.

I for one, am against the mutilation by circumcision. Why are we ok with removing parts of a boy and then are outraged when certain tribes in Africa remove female parts? Leave the person natural as intended. 

For sex, just push the foreskin back and it's almost the same as circumcised. Done. If the male is clean (brushes his teeth, wears deoderant, etc...) then he'll likely keep himself clean down there too. It's no different than a woman who smells down there, and we all know there ARE A LOT more folds of skin on a woman than an uncircumcised man. 

DO NOT push back the skin on  baby, this is  the equivalent of a hymen for girls. The first "push back" for a boy is painful and essentially him losing his virginity. Would you go poking around inside of a young girl to clean her? 

There is so much misinformation about circumcision and a lot of old wives' tales regarding it. In the end, you're having sex with the person, not a separate penis. Just enjoy the person for what he is. 

And for those who say penis' aren't attractive? as a bi male I have to disagree. Just like there are unattractive people and attractive people... there are unattractive penises and attractive ones. There are some really gorgeous penises and beautiful vaginas. 

Not disagreeing with you about circumcision. But that operation doesn't inhibit pleasure for the male like removing the clitoris from the woman - I think it's unproductive to compare the two operations. 

I am circumcised, but no one asked my opinion when it was done. I was a newborn. 
In my age cohort and geographic region, it is typical. I think younger people are more likely to be uncircumcised. 

I actually got to see my GF play with her first uncircumcised penis and it was a hot fucking experience.  I knew she had never had an uncircumcised cock before and she had made comments about how she thought they were "weird" (nobody get offended).  The guy was from Europe and she found him to be VERY physically attractive.  He went for hours and was not shy.  He was really rough with her (which she likes) and was into very kinky stuff.  They had great sexual chemistry.  But she actually giggled when she first saw his cock and said "I didn't know you were uncircumcised, I've never worked with one of these before."  He said not a problem, let me show you what to do and just went to town on her the entire time.  Ever since then she's fine with any cock.

A bit of trivia.  What happens with foreskins that are removed?  The cells are cultured to make things such as Dermagraft® to treat wounds that won't heal.

I definitely prefer the look of a circumcised penis, but as long as the guy cleans himself appropriately I'm ok with an uncircumcised penis.  I will say it always surprises me when I see one pop out of a dudes pants,lol.  I did start to go down on a guy once that didn't clean in the folds regularly and the smell was terrible, so it was a hard no for me and I left.
