Curious after circumcision Q How do guys feel about the idea?

Question

I was just wondering how guys feel about this in general, I have known guys who were and those who weren't but never asked.
So are you for it or against it and why? Is it a religious thing or what?

Answer 1

I like'em either way.

Oh, for me. Well, I'm not, so I was fortunate.

Just remember THIS: there are more NERVES THERE than on anywhere else on the body! Why whack'em off, keep'em and enjoy'em!

Answer 2

i've got faith this is somewhat merciless while accomplished to toddlers. there are no longer any clinical reasons for it to be accomplished at delivery. An grownup can do what he needs along with his penis, yet there is distinctive good information obtainable that an uncircumcised penis is greater mushy for the guy (that's consumer-friendly experience too) and in my own reports i've got under no circumstances discovered an uncut guy to have hygiene issues like a smegma build-up, and the foreskin is relaxing to play with.

Answer 3

My husband forbade it after what happened to his friend's son. Three corrective surgeries. Worked for me, I thought it was genital mulitation.

We agreed that if he wants it done later for cosmetic reasons we'd pay for it, but it ought to be his decision since it's his body.

I think it's only a religious thing if you're Jewish.

Answer 4

I believe it is a terrible mutilation of the genitals.

I feel one should not be allowed to cut parts off of someone's body without their informed consent, be it the mother or the father irrelevant of their intentions. It is an irreversible process.


It's perpetuated by culture, just as FGM in other areas and the majority of people who force it on their children do not know the true facts.


Parents should not have the right to force it on to their children. Should they have the right to circumcise girls? It is comparable to type 2 female circumcision (see below).
No medical institution in the developed world actually recommends the practice.
The following link contains the position of medical societies in English speaking countries on circumcision. Specifically British Medical Association, Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Canadian Paediatric Society, American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, Australian College of Paediatrics and Australasian Association of Paediatric Surgeons:

Here is a video of the operation. Watch it if you want to learn more. Please do watch it.

It is not just a little snip here and there. Watch the above video of a circumcision in progress.


The foreskin keeps the glans soft and moist and protects it from trauma and injury. Without this protection, the glans becomes dry, calloused, and desensitized from exposure and chafing.
Specialized nerve endings in the foreskin enhance sexual pleasure.
The foreskin may have functions not yet recognized or understood.
[ http://www.nocirc.org/publish/pamphlet7.html ]

"Circumcision removes the most sensitive parts of the penis and decreases the fine-touch pressure sensitivity of glans penis. The most sensitive regions in the uncircumcised penis are those parts ablated by circumcision. When compared to the most sensitive area of the circumcised penis, several locations on the uncircumcised penis that are missing from the circumcised penis were significantly more sensitive." Circumcision removes as much as 75% of sensation [ http://www.nocirc.org/touch-test/bju_6685.pdf ].

The foreskin reduces the force required by the penis to enter the vagina. It also increases the sexual enjoyment of the female partner. Here is a study to back this up: http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/ohara/

Performing circumcision on a child can and does result in the deaths of children due to blood loss and/or failure of the immune system.
It can and does result in very significant scaring.
It can and does result in sexual problems later in life.

Circumcised males have a much higher rate of sexual dysfunction. [ http://www.cirp.org/library/sex_function/ ]




A lot of the information perpetuated about it preventing diseases is false.
The study that you are less susceptible to aids if you are circumcised is flawed. Here is a discussion of the report and its methodology by "Doctors Opposing Circumcision": http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org/info/HIVStatement.html .

Have a read through their statement. It is very informative. It shows the methodological flaws and poor conclusion in the report that the WHO has jumped upon. Everything is aptly sourced.


Men may often feel a need to justify their own circumcision by the generation of claims of health benefits.[ http://www.cirp.org/library/psych/goldman1/ ]
"The medical literature is full of protective claims for various diseases, such as sexually transmitted disease , male and female cancers, and urinary tract infection. All such claims have been disproved."[ http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org/info/HIVStatement.html ]




"The United States has one of the highest rates of male circumcision and also one of the highest rates of HIV infection in the developed world, suggesting that circumcision is having exactly the opposite effect. Conversely, Finland and Japan have some of the lowest rates of circumcision and also some of the lowest rates of HIV/AIDS."

Condoms have been proven to be an effective means of combating AIDS.

Are you aware that Stallings study also shows that female circumcision also reduces HIV transmission? [ http://www.ias-2005.org/planner/Abstracts.aspx?AID=3138 ]
Female circumcision type II is the removal of the prepuce, part of the clitoris and the labia. Because of the function of the male foreskin, male circumcision is comparable to type II female circumcision. [ http://www.mgmbill.org/mgm101.pps ]
Should we circumcise girls or is this practice different or is it that one is "culturally" acceptable and one is not.
We do not nor should we circumcise girls.

It should be the choice of the victim as to whether or not they want to undergo the procedure. There are many men who try to undo the damage done to them every year: http://www.norm.org/
It is wrong to force an irreversible process onto them that they may not undergo as a adult if they still had the choice.

They are both mutilations of the genitals. A parent does not have a right to mutilate their child's genitals by the following UN conventions: the U.N. Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the U.N. International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights. These violations were brought to the attention of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in 2001 both orally and in writing by NOCIRC. However, the U.N. has yet to take action. [ http://www.mgmbill.org/un.htm ]

The vast majority of the world(83%) is not circumcised.
There is no good reason to perform male genital mutilation.

Answer 5

Circumcision is not a part of what will save a person.

Answer 6

Uncut is how we are born so why alter it if there is nothing wrong with it. Fortunatly I wasn't circumsized. I also like guys who are like me as long as they keep it clean.

Answer 7

It is a hard Q. in the fact if I am not It will be a herbal for me and her ???
but I can say it is wrong for the girls and write for the men for a lot of reasons

Answer 8

my personal opinion, if my husband is circumsized, so will my sons. If he's not, my sons won't be.

Look like daddy they must.

but I would never have it done after infancy as it hurts a whole lot (anesthesia doesn't work on the penis)

but uncircumsized isn't nasty....it looks odd, yes...but if someone refuses to 'touch' an uncircumsized penis...they need to grow up and face life.

Answer 9

im not a guy .. but its been my experience guys who are circumcised speak the loudest about guys that arent being " grouse " ... thats just what i ve heard em say when they ve said anything about it at all . .

Answer 10

I feel very lucky - I was born in a place where this primitive practice isn't in vogue.
