Enough guys work on a hair-trigger as it is. I just can't imagine a woman saying, "Oh God, baby… a minute is SO LONG! Don't you think you could cut it to 30 seconds?" Like that would EVER happen!! LOL LOL

Well, yeah, back then that would've given you trichnosis. Good advice at the time, and TOTALLY irrevelant now. "Don't masturbate!" Okay, maybe back then if guys could have been cowed into not masturbating they would have been more likely to actually go out and reproduce the tribe. Let's make our group bigger. Totally unnecessary now. (Oh, wait. This is still a Catholic rule, isn't it? And it's probably exactly as effective an injunction as it was 2000 years ago.) "Don't murder!" Okay, that one makes sense. As so most of the other commandments, still. "Get circumcised!" Given the modern medical data, that one still makes sense, too.

I have known a couple of men over here that due to medical issues were circusized in sexually active adulthood. They said a little sensitivity was lost, but overall it was better. I thought that was an interesting perspective.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Sorry, I meant, circumsized men are less likely to contract HIV. Grrrrr. Sorry for the typo. with foreskin, viruses stay in around susceptable areas for longer. This is why women and passive gay men (bottom) are more susceptable to infection.
Originally Posted By Inspector 57 Uncircumsized penises are more likely to spread HIV and HPV. That's just a medical fact. Having written that... <<I would leave it up to women to state their preference though I suspect, as with many things, they would prefer the clean-cut look.>> I'm not a woman, I'm a gay man. But for what it's worth... Years ago, before my current partner, I had another monogamous boyfriend. He was Portuguese. I remember how clearly he fit the stereotype of the passionate Latin Lover. I can vaguely remember the size of his penis. I definitely remember the way it curved. But, for the life of me, I cannot remember if it was cut or not. Some things just don't matter sexually. It's trimmed or it's not. Whatever.
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost It's incredible the misconceptions that come with non-circumcision. Does everything get more sensitive, hair trigger, etc. it is too laugh. During activity the foreskin retracts and works just like any other. More sensitive, I doubt it, don't forget those with it, do not have clothing rubbing against the more sensitive glans, irritating and sensitizing. Equals out I'd say. More likely to have bladder infections, cause female cancer, premature ejaculation are all a lot of bull. As I have said before hygiene, hygiene, hygiene. If a man doesn't practice personal hygiene with or without a foreskin, he would not be very pleasant to be around. PE would come from that big sex organ in the head called the brain. As far as what one would prefer, well since this decision is usually made by our parents long before we are even aware that we have a penis...it is a mute point. You will end up, if already cut, thinking that "clean cut" is the best. If not already removed, then for the most part we accept and enjoy what we have. If not, and we are willing to withstand the unpleasant procedure, then we can change it. So as it turns out those that were circumcised at the time of their birth really have no choice but to be happy with the results.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Sorry Gooyrnmost, the evidence supports that partners of circumcision are less likely to develop cervical cancer. As well as the HIV element. I was London's HIV Sexual Health commissioner and I read the UNICEF, WHO, American, and European research (where it is less common) to support the evidence. That part is fact.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan In general, I think nature was pretty smart about what we're born with. It seems like such an odd thing to focus on -- what a baby's penis looks like. Removing it had nothing to do with health concerns -- it was based on religion. As to disease prevention, I find the idea that getting rid of a natural part of the body strange. I mean, we don't remove a lung to avoid lung cancer. Whether you're for it or against it, you have to admit it's a rather bizarre fixation. (And no, I am not in favor of this dumb ban.)
