The Real Reason You're Circumcised

The tradition of genital mutilation in this country needs to be stopped

Craw_DaddyThe tradition of genital mutilation in this country needs to be stopped

Why? I'm pretty happy I'm mutilated haha

I'm pretty sure the real reason why i am circumcised is because i lost one too many battles with the zipper of my onsie pajamas as a child.

if my d was uncut i would just chop of all the whole thing.
f that noise.

If you've ever used the phrase "genital mutilation" in reference to circumcision, you care way too much about penises.

he probably didn't tear the foreskin, i guess it was the little stringy part on the back.

Circumsiced dicks are more aerodynamic.

They look basically the same when erect

las.Absolutely! That's the best part.

Foreskins are used in skin grafts so a piece of my cock is out there growing on somebody else's body. Can you say that about your dick? Didn't think so. Checkmate, uncircumsizeds.

Sorry, the truth must hurt

ITT: Dudes arguing about which penis they think is more attractive.

I'm uncut, and it's literally never stopped me from getting laid, even had a girl tell me that she'd never sleep with a cut guy. To anyone who thinks it's unclean, I shower everyday. I wash my dick everyday, which is what anyone with a penis should be doing regardless of whether or not they're uncut.

Old articles, but still valid:

Women overall prefer uncircumcised:

If circumcision is prevalent, to put it lightly, in your part of the world (North America presumably) then it's only logical that girls who've only seen circumcised dicks are going to think foreskins are weird, isn't it? Outside of your little american bubble, uncircumcised is the norm, believe it or not

Also, it's not at all about an insecurity. Just shedding light on some facts in the hope you all won't make the same mistake with your children. Don't take it so personally

Why are all these uncircumcised guys trying to defend their gross penises. Girls like circumcised penises more. Fact

las.Foreskins goddammit!

Which is, by your own argument, an integral part of what?


Why do you care?



















































Penis.

AMERICA

Woah, calm down buddy. Why so defensive? Sorry for assuming you had any clue about how the rest of the world functions

ElGato FTW

The only complaints that I've received is just how small it is, not anything to do with the circumcision.

It doesn't affect me currently, but I certainly care about whether this level of barbarism will still be thriving in future generations that my possible children may be a part of.

And why do most of you find it so hard to actually address the issue at hand instead of attacking the person that brings it up? Honestly, if it makes you so uncomfortable and is a sensitive topic for you, don't comment

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Canada part of north America?

The referenced post has been removed.

Never asked you to subscribe to the ways I live. I was just pointing out how the rest of the world works since it seems a lot of Americans, yourself included, have very little clue. I'm sorry, but you do sound very defensive. Also, it makes sense for you to conform to an abusive, outdated practice just because everyone else does? Are you unable to think for yourself, you philistine?

Not too long, actually. If you'll notice, most of it came from the one website. You and others keep playing the insecurity card too, yet you're the ones all up in arms about how your mutilated genitals might not actually be normal after all. I'm just the messenger, so don't shoot me.

I want to kick the shit out of you. Just shut the fuck up about cocks already, no one is going to PM you their dong so get the fuck out.

what a fucking weird cultural phenomenon. I mean, I understand when there's a medical need, but that's a very small portion on circumcisions. There certainly isn't a higher rate of dicks falling of in Finland or Australia where it's quite uncommon.

It really is plain and simply just mutilation for tradition and when you actually think about it it's really quite fucked up.

Holy shit you are getting a new asshole ripped by a bunch of circumcised men

The referenced post has been removed.

Because customs like this belong in the bronze-age, not the 21st century, and continuing to practice this sort of shit is somewhat of a hindrance to social and moral progress.

Right, so since you don't remember it or the pain you felt at the time, that makes it OK? Are you seriously trying to justify it with that excuse? Shall we apply that same standard to other indecent acts?

Yeah, you understandably wouldn't change the way you are, nor am I asking you to consider that. You are free to do whatever you want with your body, and you shouldn't hold anything against your parents. Obviously still unclear, but that wasn't the point of this thread.

I'm circumcised and I still think it's fucked. Cutting kids dicks for tradition makes no fucking sense. It's 2014. It's not that I'm insecure, far too many people have seen my dick, it's just that I think it's pointless.

The problem with "that's the way it's always been" is that as useless or even wrong as something might be, it doesn't change simply because it's the norm to people. There is all kinds of mindless nonsense that exists because people are too used to it to change anything.

All these people that are so excited about their circumcised dicks would think they were just as good if they weren't.

I just hate stupid traditions in general especially one where they cutting parts of your dick off for no reason.

op is going on one of the strangest tirades ever to grace ns.

Nah, again, just to shed light on the facts, all of which you are still obviously in denial about and purposely ignoring. Seriously, enough with the aggression. You're a mod, try and act civil. Awesome insults though dude, +1 internet points

it's also kinda funny that places where circumcision is super common is pretty much either in backassward countries or the US. The vast majority of civilized countries have it as a minority.

OP's wiener looks like a macaroni noodle

I'm not sure if you're serious or not? All you've done in this thread is be condescending, ridicule facts, and insult people who's opinions you don't agree with, and apparently I'm the asshole? You really haven't made any valid points either mate, so I'm sorry, but it's hard to actually discuss things with someone when they're devoid of rational and logical thought

My friend's story of why he got circumcised:

It was just after high school. Classes were over and summer had begun. One night, whilst still a virgin, my friend snuck out of his house at midnight to pick up this girl he had been wheeling for a little while. The plan was for the two of them to go for a drive to the 'hill', which I guess is Idahoian for "let's fuck".

Obviously ecstatic, my 18 year old friend picked up the girl, drove to the 'hill' and they commenced the inevitable fornication.
According to his account of the story, things were going splendidly. But about 45 minutes in to it, he realised that something was wrong. He was 45 minutes into it, and he still hadn't finished. For all you twelve year olds out there, you're not supposed to last 45 minutes on your first go.
But, my friend obviously didn't care that he was taking forever, and neither did his lady friend.
Eventually, the two of them couldn't fornicate any longer due to physical exhaustion.
As my tall lanky 6'5 German friend climbed off his female counter part,
he realized that his penis was tremendously swollen. Not only was it swollen, but it was causing him an immense amount of pain.
Somehow he managed to muster up enough strength to operate his manual transmission car and dropped the girl off at home.
Once he arrived home he was in so much pain that he had to crawl up the stairs to reach his bedroom.
As any young male with an aching penis would do, he entered his symptoms into web MD. The results were not encouraging. Web MD was firing back words to him such as "serious infection, gang-green and AMPUTATION". Well once he realized that he was in danger of losing his penis, he realized he needed to go to the hospital. The thing was that his penis hurt too much to operate the clutch in his car. How was he going to tell his parents that he had snuck out to bang some girl and ended up hurting his dick? He realised that he had to come up with something embarrassing enough that his parents would believe it, but something that still wasn't quite the truth.
After deciding on a story, he knocked on his parents' bedroom door and said, "Mom, Dad, I need you to drive me to the hospital, I've injured my penis."
His Mom, clearly taken aback replied, "How?!"
"Well I woke up and felt like wanking it, so I did. And now my penis really hurts."
Buying his lie and not needing any further information, his parents drove him to the hospital.
At the hospital, he told the doctor the truth of exactly what had happened earlier in the evening and the doctor began his investigation. What had happened was that his foreskin had turned inside out, making his penis look like someone who had tried to stuff a sleeping bag back in the sack and couldn't fit it all in but drew the string tight any way. His penis was suffocating it's self.
After the doctor 'un-tucked him',my friend asked if this would ever happen again. The doctor told him that this would now happen every time he was ever going to have sex again. Unless, he chose to get circumcised.
So at age 18, and with four years of sexual adventures ahead of him, my buddy chose to get circumcised.
He said the circumcision wasn't really that bad since he was asleep for it, but the stitches that remained in his dick for 2 months after made his life hell.

TL;DR

My 18 year old friend's first time having sex, foreskin turned inside out on it's self, jeopardized his entire sexual future, had to get circumcised.

"Genital mutilation" is a pretty graphic term. I think its fair to say that slicing off a pointless flap of skin while someones too young to remember is a lot less harmful than slicing out part of a clitoris from a young girl, and we should really reserve that term for more harmful practices.

A man is waiting for his son in the office of a doctor who performs circumcisions. When the doctor finishes the man asks him how much it costs. The doctor says "circumcisions are free". Confused, the man asks him why. The doctor responds "I just keep the tips".

Why do Jewish women like their men circumcised?
















They like anything that's 10% off.

I think its cleaner to have it circumcized.
In the civilized world (the one that matters) an uncircumcized dick is a disgusting relic promoted by disgusting individuals.
If you are uncircumcized, im sorry, but parading around like you have it better is ridiculous.
Just ask the girl who runs out of your bedroom with tears on her face

las.Absolutely! That's the best part.

Is all you do Just look up penises on the internet? Wow OP just wow

Jesus was circumcised

I feel horribly oppressed because my parents made the choice to cut my cock without my consent. All my life, I've hated my parents for it. No amount of care packages they send me will ever make up for the fact that they actually paid some fucker to dice my dick. I see guys in the shower stalls parading around their pristine penises in all their uncut glory, and I get so fucking jealous and sick of their shit.

Are we truly free if we have no say on the fate of our foreskin?

JordanButtfartI want to kick the shit out of you. Just shut the fuck up about cocks already, no one is going to PM you their dong so get the fuck out.

Do it pussy you wont

Wait.... so you're telling me I'm Jewish? Somehow I always knew...

still waiting on a dick pick bro

honestly, im glad im cut. if im watching porn and the dude is uncircumsized, the sex looks like shit, just looks like skin is sliding all over the place and nothings actually sliding in and out. idk i dont think it desensitizes it either but i guess i have nothing to compare it to. will be getting my future son/s cut no doubt

Circumcision removes about three quarters of nerve endings in the dick, so intercourse is logically far more pleasurable with an intact foreskin.

OP why can you not stop talking about dicks? Is that the only thing every on your mind?

.Hugo.OP why can you not stop talking about dicks? Is that the only thing every on your mind?

obviously. it seems to me OP just can't get enough dick.

One girl laughed at it once so I slapped her in the face with it.

A female's perspective: I've been with cut and uncut guys, and its pretty much the same once things get going, although I have had an experience with an uncircumsized guy who didn't keep it very clean (which, needless to say, is disgusting). Every dick is [vastly] different and basically the only thing that matters is whether or not you are good at using it.

Kinda mad at my mom for having me snipped. They really is no reason for it.

That might be the most inadvertently homosexual thing I've ever read on here. What a fkn meatgazer hahaha
