So, if that is the case, why did God demand that all of the Hebrews be circumcised? If he made them to have foreskin like that anyway, why would he demand that they cut it off soon after birth? If he didn't want us to have foreskin, wouldn't he have made us without it? I am circumcised now, and I wish I was not....if it was about cleanliness, why wouldn't God have made another commandment, something like, "Thou shalt pull back and clean thy foreskin at least once a day."
What is the deal with circumcision and God's command that every boy be circumcised?

Ok, look, i've read testimony from guys that were uncircumcised and have had sex, and then got circumcised....and they all said (it was only three, but still...) that when you are circumcised you lose alot of feeling in your penis. I know it's not scientific or anything, but basically I'm just wondering....what is wrong with the uncircumcised penis? And for the people that think its a turnoff...it's NATURAL.....you should shave your bush then, since most guys hate hair....its not natural but it "looks better." Touche, eh?

that is not established; more like a rumor your trying to spread, which is erroneous.

I just thought I'd post this link:
http://www.nocirc.org/touch-test/bju_6685.pdf
It's a research paper that was published in the British Journal of Urology in April of this year.
It maps the fine-touch pressure thresholds of the adult penis in circumcised and natural men and compares them.
Of course, the sensitivity of circumcised males is shown to be significantly less.
So now you can say your statement is scientific.
Now, on to your question:
"why did God demand that all of the Hebrews"
Well, you've posted this in the Health section so I'll be frank.
It's the god of the Hebrews. You don't have to believe that some God actually decreed it. I sure don't.
If you are Jewish, check out this page:

Depends on the individual, but yeah most people say sex is worse after they've been circumcised and seeing as you lose so many nerve endings etc then you must lose sensation. Anyway it really depends what you believe in. I think that such a god who says these things would be a sexual sadist, for many reasons. As you are saying it makes absolutely no sense at all and there is no health reason for circumcision either (despite some myths people believe) so you have pointed out one of the many flaws and contradictions in religion.

I'm uncut...sex is great! I would never get citcumcised or subject my children to such barbarism. That's all I need to know. If Jews and Muslims want to keep doing this, so be it. At least the rest of us can wake up and realize that like is better natural, no matter what God said to Abraham. God gave us the prepuce in the first place.

I am uncut, and I THINK it is probably better. But dood get over it. If you are having fun now, even if it is a 3, it is still a 10 to you. Ignorance is bliss. Not to mention there are still guys that think cut is better afterwards. (But seems most had phimosis)
As for why would god do that? With as much as religion tries to control to people, does it surprise you that they want to do as much damage to your junk while retaining the ability to procreate?

It's cause if you live in the desert and in unsanitary conditions you can get an infection under your foreskin and the ignorant hebrews thought it was punishment by god.
But actually the nerves are more exposed on a circumcised penis and it is more sensative.
An uncircumcised penis has more skin and may be more adapt to penetration, i.e. less lube.
Nothing copares to the clitoris though, except maybe the anus.

The circumcised penis is desensitized, but you have a lot of circumcised men, who for reasons of ego, refuse to listen to this fact. Also, most have been circumcised their whole lives, so they don't know any different.
As for your question about Jews and circumcision, I can't answer it. The practice is absurd, but once it's been indoctrinated into dogma, it's almost impossible to remove it.

That is utter rubbish I am 59 and was circumcised at 56 and I have never enjoyed sex so much in my life as I do now.
Don't blame God for mans misunderstandings of His Word. The circumcision rule changed when Jesus rose from the dead, He overcame all things and that commenced the period of Grace for all men. It is healthy to be circumcised and each person must choose for themselves, except in the case of infants where the parents should choose what they consider is best for the child.

actually i think it had something to do with God making a covenant with the jewish people by doing the circumcision. i'm not sure and maybe someone far more expert on it can come in and answer your question for you.
and you said it's been established that circumcised men have less pleasure during sex than men who never had it done. how do you know? have you had sex before to even know if its true or not? i'm thinking you're still a virgin because you write all the above as if you never had sex and are basically just going by hearsay.
no it has not been established and any men who feels it does not bring them pleasure is only speaking for themselves and not ALL men. some men might not experience sexual pleasure but then again there are men who do get full pleasure. sheesshh i'm not even a male and even i know that. it's common sense.
and believe me. circumcised men just look better and feel better. and also a circumcised man just looks cleaner to me. i dont speak for all women because all women are not the same. i speak only for myself. :)

on top of that "rumor", a poll done on british women says they enjoy an uncircumcised penis more during sex as well. i never understood the normalcy of a circumcision...

Don't worry about what God set us to do. God seems to be lacking in telling us anything these days. Like why he hasnt given world peace or prevented global warming etc.. So don't worry.
