What is the real purposes of this?

Religious, aesthetic, and  health reasons in the case of men and boys with phimosis or chronic inflammation disease.

don't you mean a cut below the rest?

...it keeps the hand from sliding off!

It is basically just another way for Jewish mothers to torture their son's, in addition to giving them girl's names and pressuring them to become doctors and lawyers.*

God said to Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, but when Abraham went to do it, God said JK, what are you some idiot?

So Abraham said, well, what the fuck do you want me to do and God said go cut your foreskin off for all I care.

So Abraham did it and then God said, What a putz!

So, we Jews do it to remind ourselves what putzes we are.

I might be a little rusty on the details, it was a long time ago I read this.

They said you were nice as well  

It's genital mutilation, through & through. There is no reason to cut off someone's foreskin, and men who do have a foreskin will tell you that it's filled with nerve endings that provide a great deal of sensation & pleasure during foreplay & sex. It's always baffled me why female circumcision is supposed to be so horrific, yet male circumcision is considered "clean" in the US. Europeans, not so much.... though they're further ahead of us in a lot of social areas, this one included.

Stop spreading you misconceptions and misinterpretations.  

It's true there is no real need for circumcision as long as the person knows how to clean himself.  But so few do it just removes one more possibility of infection.
You also cannot compare circumcision with a clitorectomy.  The former has an actual purpose while the latter is simply mutilation to encourage fidelity by making the sex act less pleasurable for the woman.  I was circumcised in the hospital and, believe me, sex feels great.
Last, while circumcision is a Jewish religious rite, virtually all gentile men in this country have been circumcised in the hospital, too.
In a perfect world there'd be no need for it.  But it's an imperfect world.

For that matter, how many very young children consciously remember physical, sexual, or mental abuse, period? Is it okay to hurt people as long as they won't "remember it?" Some philosophers and early childhood psychologists would make an arguement that "pain" is internalized and leaves a scar on the psyche, AND also AFFECTS FUTURE BEHAVIOR, even if it is not consciously remembered. Many modern physicians and sexologists are currently making a case against male circumcision on the grounds that it reduces the future sexual pleasure of both the man, as well as the pleasure experienced by his future sexual partners.

...from circumcisions.  However, it is only a small percentage of ultra-Orthodox cirumcisers who perform "blowjobs" on newborns, increasing the risk of transferring genital herpes.

Actually, circumcised men have a REDUCED risk of genital herpes and HPV.

So...do you remember getting this horrible mutilation (circumcision...not the date rape that has nothing whatsoever to do with this topic)?

I'm sure if you and scoed babble long enough to two of you will find someone else to buy into your garbage.

As for pain, you have a point, although I have no idea if you're right about remembered pain.  But last spring I attended my first Bris.  At the beginning, the Mohel told the gathering that while the child would cry it wasn't really feeling pain because the nerve endings in the foreskin had not developed.
Also in attendance was my niece, who's in Pediatrics.  I asked her if that was true and she replied, "It's bullshit."
Still, I seem to have recovered nicely.

Just my personal opinion, and people who disagree are welcome to disagree. No skin off my... eerr...

Growing up in the Bible Belt of the USA it was a sign of faith.  You had to choose on your own to accept God into your life, but the birth doctors made sure your dick could get into Heaven too with a circumcision.

I just enjoy watching them grow out of there hood ... Like a turtle poking its head out of its shell..

Just curious how often you've seen hospital bills to make that comment.

The airbag ripped my eyelid off.
Anyway the doctor told me they needed a skin graft to repair the lost lid.
He said my foreskin was the perfect texture, and type to graft in!
I said go for it Doc!!!!

If this thread was moved to the Politics and Religion Board, I would cheekily ask if the proceeds from the sale of those tee-shirts was helping to finance the bombing of the LAST REMAINING UN school in Gaza, since we are talking about the humane treatment of children, and all.

Did you like my brothers?

I think it's cruel. And based on ignorance.  

They are not chopping of penises. Female circumcision would be removing the clitoral hood NOT the clit.

She was going on quite the roll.

It is a clitorectomy along with the labia done to prevent her from experiencing sexual pleasure to stop her "wandering" from whatever nasty POS guy she was traded to.

And even when washed still have a smell that a cut dick does not have. I am more likely to wrap an uncut dick  that I can smell.

Many people here have mentioned reasons for circumcision which are based on relics from a bygone time. There is not one ounce of logic in any of those reasons in the 21st century.  

This is probably because you're most used to seeing cut ones. British women typically think just the opposite.

At all. And do not like the smell either. I have a very sensitive sense of smell and there is a distinct odor from an uncut penis even after washing. I am not going to argue this point with anyone as they will not change my mind. I respect those that like them, I am not one of them.

And I also make sure that I protect it with Vaseline at least once a day. Hell, the damn thing completely runs my life so I might as well take good care of it. No doubt about it, I'd fall on my sword if that damn thing didn't work anymore.

not only am I on the large side especially in terms of thickness but I am un-mutilated as well  

Except maybe a woman who truly enjoys sucking cock.

We are not at all suited in this playing field but I do like you or should I say your board persona. We can have more of a cerebral encounter than the physical.

I'll see if mrfisher has time on his schedule to get the interrogatories started....along with his associates Mr. Fissure  and Mr. Fister.

For me, your dick is only for you. I get nothing out of it. I guess that's why I am just not as fascinated or enthralled about a dick as some women.  

and the Jewish origin of the Vulcan Salute.

this may be hard to believe the way so many characters act around here

It's not an argument, just an observation. If you're born in a country where it's "normal" to see a foreskin, that's what you're used to and it's nothing. But if you're born in the US, you're used to cut, and uncut is weird. And theres nothing wrong with that- it's no judgment! You like what you like but you cant disengage that preference from the larger geographical/cultural picture. And yes, both (natural) male and female genitalia produce "smegma", which is a combination of sebum and dead skin cells. Smegma is important for natural lubrication and protecting against infection. The smell is a natural body smell, and as someone whose spent an enormous amount of time between women's legs, being with an uncut man is not much different. It doesn't bother me at all now, but I do remember being put off by it on my first go- both with women and with uncut men!

Guess you just wrote it for effect?

Smelled the smell I get from an uncut dick. I think the two body smells are very different to begin with, pheromones and all.  

And I'm sure there are people here who won't agree with me, and that's fine.

So you have no idea

for medical reasons. He says the level of pleasure is much less after the procedure.  

Does that mean that IRL you speak with extended ellipses and no full stops?

It was a statement about British women. It was not an "I" statement.  

Back when I was born during the late Baby Boomer wave, it was considered to be a hygienic issue, and that being cut reduced infection and STD risk.   It was a routine procedure that almost all newborn male babies underwent back then, myself included.    

Wish I was cut though maybe it'll be easier for me to cum.

And many, many decades ago, the same for the name Evelin.

in English, but then again,   English is my fourth language,  so I make do and hope to manage to be understood....

Too much alcohol inhibits ejaculation.  

so great that it sent him into therapy to cope with it.

His sexual confidence was also horribly dented.

It was partly based on this experience that I made the decision that my son would be circumcised.

Obviously, it's something that any thinking and feeling person would consider very carefully.

Putting aside the reasons why either procedure is done, the specifics of how, or the cultural/political/historical influences surrounding it, does not change the fact that circumcision removes foreskin. It does not remove the penis.  

just like any other guy with a social life,  I occasionally get hammered....  But not totally trashed to the point of blowing chunks.  Lmao

Some wag interpreted this famous line from Hamlet to be divine justification for circumcision.

Both penises and clits have a foreskin. The clitoris's "foreskin" is called a clitoral hood. If one were to remove the clitoral hood, that is a female circumcision. She still has her clit and can still enjoy sex.  

"The WHO's Type Ia is the removal of the clitoral hood, which is rarely, if ever, performed alone. More common is Type Ib (clitoridectomy), the partial or total removal of the clitoris and clitoral hood....

I said, "Not just no, but HELL NO!!"

Funny post, but the truth is that:
