A couple of nights ago Australian 60 Minutes had a story on circumcision. There is a doctor campaigning in one Australian state to make it illegal to circumcise boys for anything other than medical reasons. Circumcision is one of those topics that really get people riled up. I get a bit angry about it when I hear, mainly women, argue that it’s neater and cleaner to be circumcised. I call bullshit on that. I don’t have a foreskin myself but unless your foreskin is too tight to roll back, then it’s very easy to clean. That argument falls into the same category as parents who don’t want to have a slightly uncomfortable conversation with their children about two men falling in love.
There are some medical arguments for circumcision, like HIV but that problem seems to be easily solved with the use of a condom in developed countries and how on earth are you going to police circumcision in undeveloped countries where they can barely afford clean water, let alone medical procedures?
Unlike some men, who are trying to grow their foreskin back, I don’t feel any sense of anger or deep seated memories of pain and betrayal at being circumcised but I genuinely and wholeheartedly cannot fathom why we need to cut a piece of very sensitive, pleasure giving skin off a young boy because his parents don’t want to teach him to clean it. Heaven help them with toilet training. To all the women out there who want their boyfriend/partner/husband/male significant other to be “neater”, how would you feel if we asked you to trim those flappy bits off your vagina? Outraged! Absolutely. Female circumcision is brutal and painful and barbaric and much more invasive than male circumcision but women all around the world ask their partners to be circumcised.
I personally don’t have a preference in my sexual partners as to whether they are cut or not and even if I did, it’s not my body so it’s none of my business to tell them what to do with it any more than I could ask them to cut an ear off if I had the inclination.
*Disclaimer. I’m not even going near the religious arguments for and against.
I didn’t have my son circumcised. Most of the guys I’ve been with have been, it’s a generational thing, never my intent. I agree, if your foreskin is not an issue what does it matter, leave it be. Love the person not the appendage :)
Screw the argument…who’s the georgeous boy in photo number two?
Like you, it really doesn’t matter to me, one way or another. In most cases it’s the total attraction not a physically small part
of the man. Now if circumcism/no circumcism enables a man to perform at a higher level, then so be it. That’s an argument I can relate too!
I am lucky to have NOT been circumcised. I really don’t know why since most other boys in the mid 1950s were. I am also lucky that I can keep the foreskin pulled back whenever i want. I have the best of both I guess. I agree with Brenton on this issue. Randy
Happy to be circumcised. My parents loved me, they wouldn’t set out to hurt nor traumatize me through this action. It’s one of those issues, everyone has an opinion on, yes. It’s a can of worms definitely, one man should not tell us that we can or can not, leave it a choice for loving mum and dads : )
Agree with you 100%. I’m attached to my foreskin and it gives me somewhere to stick my parking change. ;)
My second boyfriend was insistent that if we had a future together, I would get circumcised. We’d have sex, then he’d pull on his undies and go to sleep, never touching my cock. Needless to say we didn’t have a future together much after that.
LOVE being cut. Can’t say any more.
I’m not going to comment specifically on this one. I’ll just note that whenever I’ve attempted to discuss the topic on my blog, I’ve gotten the most heated comments on both sides of the issue. I’m just happy that I’m content with what I have and totally accepting of whatever anybody else has.
I love my foreskin. My fetish. Prefer to be with guys who have one.
Foreskin orgy, maybe
I’m cut yet love a big foreskin…foreskin envy. Fantastic for docking…a real turn on.. pic No 4 gets my blood going vote.
I’m cut though with a bit of extra skin. I’ve seen guys who had too much removed making the skin very tight when they get hard. It is definitely not something that should be done to anyone at any age without their informed consent!!! I wish I weren’t cut and I think it’s led to less sensitivity and made it harder to cum as I’ve gotten older. I doubt that those of you who are happy with your circumcised penis would have felt the need to have it done if it hadn’t been done for you when you were a baby.
I’m currently working to restore my foreskin. I’m not mad that I was cut…that was the norm for babies in America when I was born. Thankfully the tide seems to be shifting and less babies are being circumcised. I personally feel that it is not the choice of the parents or the doctors. Why would you decide to cut of a part of your newborn baby?!? Routine infant circumcision is wrong.
If it’s not an issue for you then why put it on your blog. I’m cut and wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks Mum and Dad.
