Circumcision

you can choose to have your kiRAB tosils removed as well. In fact, for all medical procedures but abortion you can tell your kid whether he can or can't have it (unless life/death occurs obviously).
 
Based on my own personal experience over years and with discussions with others who have actually experienced both ways, I made a decision that was mine to make. I do not give a tinker's damn (be the tinker circumcised or not) what you who have no way of knowing thinks of that decision. My "live and let live" was just that, despite any distortion of my intent by the foreskin police.
 
Well, now you know better and clean there I'm sure.

As far as the "trying to fit" in and social norms part of this debate, I don't think being circumcised or not got anyone into any of the cool-kid-cliques when I was in high school.
 
If you are an adult at the time of modification the foreskin can come in handy. I had mine made into a wallet ..... if rubbed just right it turns into a briefcase.
 
While certainly fun, I think the more beneficial part of the procedure as an adult is the ability to decide if it would be preferable in your life.
 
So you have no problem that someone decided to mutilate you? What if there had been complications and you ened up like these guys would you still feel the same way? What if they botched the circumcision and accidentally cut off you penis then reassigned your sex to female like this or this

A quote from the latter site

Would still be happy?
 
Yes, it is your decision to make. It was your decision to get circumcised and it was your decision to get your son circumcised. I suppose what bothers me is that your son's opinion on the subject of his own penis seems as immaterial to you as my own is.



You really have no way of knowing whether this is for the best or not, either. Your "live and let live" doesn't apply to family, then?
 
And freedom is one of our core beliefs. That's why parents can choose to modify their children. I am not arguing differently. It's your choice do drink or smoke in excess, but I'll let you know that I think it's absurd to do so. I think it's absurd as well to remove the foreskin of your newborns as well, and I'll let you know that.



No you don't. You cannot prefer anything with any authority unless you've experienced both. I think it's absurd to deny your children the opportunity to experience both and decide whether it's for them. It's a damn shame, really. This is your muddy thinking. It borders on a desire for validation on your part.



You didn't. You just said I was an example. You didn't clarify the criteria that separates concern with obsession.



No. I don't care whether you, as an adult, decide to do this. I think it's absurd to do this to an infant when there is little to no measurable benefit, and any cosmetic difference may not be a factor at all in their lives, there are very significant risks were something to go wrong and being intact can be beneficial. It's absurd to circumcise your children. It's an outdated practice.
 
Fun.

Women 18 years of age and older who delivered full-term healthy sons within the previous month at a major midwest medical center comprised the targeted sample

I'm not sure that the midwest would represent all of America. They would be more rooted to what one "traditionally" does:
One survey of 200 women concerning their maternal attitudes circumcision revealed that mothers were not giving medically valid reasons for having their sons circumcised

The sample is also mostly religious:
46.1% were Protestant, 21.3% were Catholic, 29.1% claimed no religion, 0.7% were Jewish, and the remaining 2.8% listed other religions

The sample also did not have a wide range of experience since almost 80% have been with only circumcised men:
16.5% revealed that they had had sexual contract with both circumcised and uncircumcised men. Only 5.5% had sexual experience exclusively with uncircumcised sexual partners, and the remainder of the sample was sexually experienced only with circumcised men.

I especially like:
Some go so far as to say that opting for circumcision indicates an emotional response that is not based on rational decision making.

Anything from more metropolitan areas?
 
Certainly not every man would agree. That's part of the point; every man is different so why take the decision out of their hanRAB?

We're not talking of the shaft, but of the foreskin around the head. They are connected, but they are not the same thing. It is very stretchy (it neeRAB to be to accomodate the engorged head), but it is far from sensationless. Pain is not the only sensation.



And masturbating. With a foreskin, direct stimulation of the head, without lubricant, is possible through and with the foreskin. And again, the head is more sensitive uncircumcised so both foreplay and oral sex can have new dimensions with featherlight touches on the uncovered head. Uncircumcised sex is just different. It makes no sense to predetermine your son's sex life in this way.

When having sex, the foreskin also acts as a sheath, pulling back over the head and uncovering it as the thrusting occurs. This keeps the head moist and can decreas rubbing against the inside of the vagina walls. This is preferable to some women, especially those that do not produce a lot of their own natural lubricant. During extended sex, one may have to stop to apply more lubricant with a dry head:P

A more sensitive head also allows a man to have great sensation even when not thrusting hard. Those with premature ejaculation trouble may not like this, but again this is individual to the man. This can provide variation during sex, and some women would prefer this.



Uncircumcised men would have no need. The foreskin provides a buffer to the moving parts. Certainly you can get around the problem, but you cannot replace what was lost. It makes no sense to do this. It provides little to no benefit and is another surgery that can go wrong. Having an intact foreskin can provide benefit and if the guy doesn't like it he can still have it done.
