Is it better to be uncut?

Question

i'm uncut

Answer 1

Im quite Jeleous! Having my penis mutilated as an infant, I never got the chance to actually get to know what I could have had. Be thankful you have been given that opportunity and got to keep your foreskin.

The foreskin is a highly misunderstood appendage to the male body which has a heap of different functions. I'm gonna list a few of the things that help make up the foreskin and what good they can do:

Foreskin:
The foreskin comprises roughly 50% (and sometimes more) of the mobile skin system of the penis. If unfolded and spread out flat, the average adult foreskin would measure about 15 square inches - the size of a three-by-five index card. This highly specialized tissue normally covers the glans and protects it from abrasion, drying, callusing (also called keratinization), and contaminants of all kinds.

Frenar Band, or Ridged Band:
The frenar band is a group of soft ridges near the junction of the inner and outer foreskin. This region is the primary erogenous zone of the intact male body. Loss of this delicate belt of densely innervated, sexually responsive tissue reduces the fullness and intensity of sexual response.

Meissner's Corpuscles:
Circumcision removes the most important sensory component of the foreskin - thousands of coiled fine-touch receptors called Meissner's corpuscles. Also lost are branches of the dorsal nerve, and between 10,000 and 20,000 specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types. Together these detect subtle changes in motion and temperature, as well as fine gradations in texture.

Frenulum:
The frenulum is a highly erogenous V-shaped structure on the underside of the glans that tethers the foreskin. During circumcision it is frequently either amputated with the foreskin or severed, which destroys or diminishes its sexual and physiological functions.

Dartos Fascia:
Circumcision removes approximately half of this temperature-sensitive smooth muscle sheath which lies between the outer layer of skin and the corpus cavernosa.

Immunological System:
The soft mucosa (inner foreskin) contains its own immunological defense system which produces plasma cells. These cells secrete immunoglobulin antibodies as well as antibacterial and antiviral proteins, including the pathogen killing enzyme lysozyme.

Lymphatic Vessels:
The loss of these vessels due to circumcision reduces the lymph flow within that part of the body's immune system.

Estrogen Receptors:
The presence of estrogen receptors within the foreskin has only recently been discovered. Their purpose is not yet understood and needs further study.

Apocrine Glands:
These glands of the inner foreskin produce pheromones - nature's powerful, silent, invisible behavioral signals to potential sexual partners. The effect of their absence on human sexuality has never been studied.

Sebaceous Glands
The sebaceous glands may lubricate and moisturize the foreskin and glans, which is normally a protected internal organ. Not all men have sebaceous glands on their inner foreskin.

Langerhans Cells:
These specialized epithelial cells are a component of the immune system in the penis.

So as you can see, there is probably more to your foreskin than you actually realised! All of these things aid in pleasing you, keeping your penis moist, clean and sensitive and it gives your penis the protection that it needs. Being uncircumcised is going to positively affect you, even when you have sex. When your penis becomes erect, you may notice that your foreskin pulls back and this results in a "gliding" action. The foreskin's gliding action is a hallmark feature of the normal, natural, intact penis. This non-abrasive gliding of the penis in and out of its own shaft skin facilitates smooth, comfortable, pleasurable intercourse for both partners. Without this gliding action, the corona of the circumcised penis can function as a one-way valve, making artificial lubricants necessary for comfortable intercourse.

Being uncut is definately a great thing. It is true, that many people find happiness with a circumcised penis, but many more people a happier with their foreskin.

Answer 2

I'm uncut too and I think it's better (provided that your foreskin is working correctly). As long as a guy takes overall good care of himself like safe sex and good hygiene (it's really easy to take care of, as I'm sure you know), there's nothing detrimental to having a foreskin. For many the foreskin makes things better. If being uncut were truly so bad, then 80% or so of the world's male population wouldn't be uncut.

I've never had any issues with smell, smegma, no infections/irritations, and I don't intend to. I mean, the statistic is like 95% of men never develop problems because of their foreskin. Of the 5% that do, only a small fraction of those problems are severe enough to warrant something like medically-warranted circumcision. Then again, the rate of complication from circumcision is between 1-5%, so it even out in that sense.

Answer 3

The people who say you should be cut are in the "misery loves company" category. Uncut men have much better sex - and so do their partners! The foreskin improves sex in two ways. First, it's loaded with nerve endings - it's designed for pleasure. Second, it protects the glans (head) and keeps it soft, moist and sensitive. Cut men develop a hard layer of keratin over the glans, which makes it less sensitive for the man and kind of harsh for the woman. (Plus the foreskin is fun to play with!)

There is really no reason to deny yourself the sexual pleasure being intact will bring you for the sake of fashion - or because some unfortunate guy whose misinformed parents cut him at birth thinks he's better than anyone else so every man needs to look like him.

Answer 4

uncut is definatly better.....grows to be alot bigger than cut....plus im uncut

Answer 5

Answer 6

You're better off being circumcised. It will look cleaner, be easier to maintain, you'll have an easier time using a condom, it will be easier for a girl to give you oral, it won't smell bad and you won't have to worry about giving your girl infections, viruses and cervicla cancer! Go get circumcised ASAP

Answer 7

It's not better!!! Don't believe what other say.

Answer 8

Yeah it's better to be cut.
