what does it mean to be circumcised?

Question

Is it a good thing for guys to be circumcised? does it even matter if he is or not? will it hurt if i have sex with a guy who isn't circumcised? (my friends told me it hurts like heck?)

Answer 1

Of course it doesn't hurt to have sex with a guy who is not circumcised. It is actually a lot more comfortable as there is less friction when entering the vagina, but the sensation is just as good. I think I tend to dry out more with a man who is circumcised.

I don't think it is a good thing for them to be circumcised. For a start, circumcised looks really weird, and it is much easier to pleasure an uncircumcised man, there is more you can do by moving the foreskin and less need to lube, and the foreskin is full of nerve endings so the pleasure is increased for the man.

In addition, the head of the penis is more sensitive and softer as it is usually protected from friction by the forskin, making sex a more intense experience for the man.

Answer 2

Circumcision cuts WAY down on sexual enjoyment for the man due to loss of nerve-rich foreskin. A new study proves conclusively, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that circumcision decreases sensitivity for the man. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2006.06685.x
Getting cut causes the glans (head) to develop a keratinized layer to protect from rubbing on clothing, further cutting sensation.

Nine out of ten women who have had both prefer intact penises: http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/408/60750.html That's really pretty definitive.

Hurts? Your friends are just plain wrong! I'm married to an intact man, and the sex is fantastic!

Answer 3

It is the removal of the foreskin, the loose skin that surrounds the tip of the penis. In the Jewish faith, it is a ritual that is performed when a boy is generally less than three months old. It is emblematic of being Jewish.

Advantages: A circumcised man is less likely to become infected by a yeast infection, there is some evidence that it may also prevent the transmission of AIDS.

Disadvantages: It reduces sexual sensitivity for the male.

Answer 4

It is a foreskin. A envelope of skin that covers the tip of the penis when it is not erect. It does not matter if he is or not during intercourse. There are beliefs that it is dirty, but that goes for any man who has poor hygiene, No it does not hurt. The majority of men from other countries are not circumcised.

Answer 5

Your friends are idiots. I'm sorry, I just find this a sensitive subject.

"The foreskin has long been known to be valuable to the female partner.[8, 16] The presence of the foreskin is reported to be stimulating to the female.[41, 45, 55] Women are more likely to experience vaginal dryness during sex with a circumcised partner.[24, 28, 62] The unnatural dryness may make coitus painful and result in abrasions.[28, 41, 50] The vaginal dryness may be mistakenly attributed to female arousal disorder.[55, 62] O'Hara & O'Hara report that the female partner is less likely to experience orgasm when the foreskin is not present and more likely to experience orgasm or even multiple orgasms when the foreskin is present.[41]" [ http://www.cirp.org/library/sex_function/ ]

A link to all research articles referenced in the paragraph are available in my sources below.

Circumcision is the removal of the prepuce from the penis. It is generally the removal of a fully functioning healthy part of the male body.
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.

No medical institution in the world actually recommends the practice.
Let's have a look at medical associations in the developed world. The 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. Every one of them recommends AGAINST performing the procedure. Their positions on the procedure can be found here: http://www.circumcision.org/position.htm


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.
http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=512542
Approximately 230 American males die every year because of circumcision. [ http://www.sexuallymutilatedchild.org/deathsdo.htm , http://www.cirp.org/library/death/ ] This is a meaningless and very sad loss of life.

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 and premature ejaculation. [ 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.

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