Nubian---My wife says that she notices no difference.I can only
guess if she is telling me the truth.She used to masturbate me;
quite often;when we were dating but told me that I was the first
one that she had ever studied.I wasn't circumcised then.I have
masturbated,had vaginal sex,etc. and notice no difference in the
sensation myself and I would be the first to tell you if I did.The
things that you hear about sensitivity are a fallicy! Irish

I think they both look the same when they are hard

And that's all that matters...that they get hard!!!

I wasn't going to post to this debate but.....personally I would never be in a religion or place that tried to influence you into an unnecessary operation just because they thought it looked better. Just my 2.2 cents (inc. GST) worth.

I live in the USA and am a healthcare professional. In today's medical profession there is ablsolutely no need to cirmcumcise a baby today. There was a purpose for it once when water and hygeine was a problem. Now it is not a necessary procedure. Ok so most guys have had it done. As our mother's used to tell us if your friend jumped off a cliff would you? I am lucky i wasn't cut and have had no ill health problems and enjoy my foreskin. My wife thinks it's kind of a novelty. We both enjoy it . Think about not letting your kid get cut. Just because people say you have to.

cheif---You say that you are a healthcare professional.Do you know the name for the rash that I had?The Dr. said that it is a
common thing and had a medical name for it.He might have been
just;bullshitting me.I am asking out of curiosity.I don't rememder
the name as it was a few yrs. ago.That must be why they call me;
Mister instead of Doctor. Irish

Understand that the religions & places that practice circumcision do so at birth - none of this trying to influence thing! Just a thought, it seems like Islamic culture, in particular, is very prolific... doesn't seem like a harmful thing to the reproductive process to me... & the Jewish culture has flourished for 1000's of years, in spite of repeated attempts to exterminate it... makes me wonder if maybe there's some advantages... I'm just a bass player, what do I know?

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

scotz - what i meant to say was influence parents into having their babies circumcised.....obviously adults have choices.
as with any surgical procedure there are always risks, so why take any risk, however small?

good point - so why do people tattoo & pierce their bodies, seeing as how they carry risks as well?

That is what i would like to know there is no way I would get a tattoo or pierce my body. I dont find it at all artistic or pleasing and the risks .... well I have been involved in the medical game for 20 years and I have seen some of the results.

no way Jose

Perhaps it a matter of degree...tatoos and piercing are in no way comparable to cutting off one's foreskin IMHO.

Easy guys... I just wanted to take a centrist position here... move away from the absolutism, no one's right & no one's wrong... I was circ'ed @ birth, as were my 2 sons, I don't feel I was robbed of anything... Irish seems to be the only one who knows what's on both sides of the coin, & he says it's not a big deal, I'll take his word for it! My comparison to tatts & piercing was to point out that there are risks in everything you do (& risks in what you don't do)... show me one example of a boy who was permanently damaged by being cut at birth, I might agree that it's a bad thing; As I also pointed out, it's practiced by 2 of the world's largest religions, if there was a real health risk here Jews & Muslims would have gone the way of the Shakers by now... just the view from here...
