Once you've seen many, a penis is a penis is a penis! As long as everyone cleans well (which is a major issue with uncircumcised vs. circumcise) I'm good with both

I for one am very happy thank you, that my parents did not subject me to genital mutilation.  The under foreskin area is certainly no less dirty (or clean) by nature than the typical vagina.  In fact the under-foreskin is likely the most dirty and potentially the most smelly after being inside a vagina doing what is natural in that location.  

The male can pretty much clean under his foreskin by just urinating and squeezing the skin together at the tip to flush out the under-foreskin area.  Don't forget, the medical folks tell us that fresh urine is sterile coming from a healthy individual.  Now should he clean under his foreskin when he showers, certainly, but even without doing that, he can keep it pretty clean there without much effort.  Mother Nature takes care of most of this if given the opportunity  

Now consider the vagina and the stuff that is left inside and what periodically leaks out.  YUKKK  Yet a healthy woman is told that douching is not necessary under normal conditions.  How many providers douche before a date or even between dates?  How many females really clean their genitals as well as they should and could?   Most just sprinkle a little water on the kitty and wipe it dry with a towel or just use a baby wipe.  None of this activity really cleans inside those many little folds and creases does it.  A bidet would do a good job, but how many women have access (or use) those?

Sorry to go on and on but lets use a little common sense here.

"i believe the time has come to acknowledge that the practice of RNC rests on the absurd premise that the only mammal in creation born in a condition that requires immediate surgical correction is the human male.   if the penile foreskin is not merely non-functional, but a biological disadvantage so severe as to justify its immediate surgical ablation, then, surely, it might have atrophied by now."

HELLO!  how can people continue to ignore this indisputable FACT?

seriously, i'm really fucking sick of the way we have completely normalized the routine genital mutilation of helpless baby boys in this culture - to the point where a woman would turn her nose up at a penis in its NATURAL state.  miss me with that bullshit.  dear medical 'professionals,' put the fuckin surgical tools down and step AWAY from the baby penis, please!  what happened to DO NO HARM?  i think this normalization of such a cruel and medically unnecessary behavior does not speak well of our culture.  not at all.

i'm used to getting shit about my 'radical' ideas regarding my distaste for the combination of genitals and sharp objects, but i just think all you people who think it's a-okay need to seriously readjust your worldview and take into account the validity of the non-aggression principle.  babies need a lot when they come into this world - constant physical contact, milk, seemingly endless diaper changes, protection, naps, and lots of love.  after 9 months spent sleeping safe in the womb, then abruptly coming into a cold, bright, noisy new world, can you think of a more traumatic welcome to that world than having a part of your body forcibly removed?  holy crap.

i'm an equal opportunity lover of penis - i love 'em all, regardless of size, shape, color, or circumcision scar.  foreskin *is* a bonus, though!


and thus concludes my occasional PSA, which i seem to post every time this subject comes up. sigh.  ahem.   i do it out of my LOVE FOR MEN, though, srsly! men deserve to have genital integrity from birth, damnit!

Are you uncircumcised, so that's why you're asking?  You shouldn't be ashamed.  It the way you were born.  As far as the rest of the world:  (from Wikipedia)

"The prevalence of circumcision (or circumcision rate) refers to the proportion of males that are circumcised in a given population. It may also refer to the proportion of newborn males that are circumcised. Estimates of the proportion of males that are circumcised worldwide vary from 1⁄6[3] to 1⁄3.[4] The World Health Organization has estimated that 664,500,000 males aged 15 and over are circumcised (30% global prevalence), with almost 70% of these being Muslim.[5]"

That means that according to estimates, approximately 70% of the world's population is NOT CIRCUMCISED.  (The last statement is saying out of 30% of the world's population being circumcised, 70% of that 30% are Muslim.)

It's only due to ridiculous religious practices and backward western medicine that a portion of the penis (and it is a part of the penis) is MUTILATED.

It's the way we were born.  If you keep it clean (just like any other part of the body) and take care of yourself,  it functions and acts the way that nature intended it to work.    I have NEVER had any complaints about my natural, uncircumcised love tool of the gods.

This topic is getting kind of long. I added an Appendix but the doctors insisted that it had to come out.

Some women just don't like penises at all!

Big, small, cut, uncut... doesn't matter... just be clean!

Stinky is gross!

I have seen and read so many posts on here and elsewhere about this. I am uncircumcised and have always been self conscious of if it due to the fact that most ladies and guys are brainwashed into thinking that being circumcised is the norm. Obviously in the U.S. circumcision is more the norm so if your not you are considered "different" and not "normal" or "gross" as some girls put it in the teen years. I am glad i am "uncut", the pleasure and sensitivity has to blow the "cut" penis away if there are like 20,000 nerve endings cut off with a circumcised penis. If your born with it why would you want to cut it off??

Well I am one of those guys who has been both cut and uncut as an adult.
I am not the type to tell anyone what they should do with their body (none of my business), but I want to share my experience in this area.
I had a medical condition where I could not pull back the forskin at all. I had a doc recommend getting cut and I asked him about his method. Using a scalpel is probably not the best way to have it done...most likely would lose a lot of sensitivity. I spent a lot of time researching the procedure and doctors. Earlier this year, I got cut from an excellent surgeon who did a good job. Quite a bit more expensive than what the insurance would pay for the procedure, but worth every penny I paid. The recovery was slow and without its share of issues.
Since being cut, sex is a lot better. I know there is a lot of info out there that men become less sensitive after the procedure, but in my case totally the opposite. I am quite a bit more sensitive now than I ever was before, and it is quite easy to be clean.
