Another Circumcision thread

[Aegon]

What are the benefits to foreskin exactly? Research shows the sex isn't any better. Botched circumcisions are incredibly rare in industrialized first-world countries.

It's ribbed, for her pleasure, and my aggrandizement.  Just for starters, lol. In truth, it;s good for my pleasure too, and saying "studies show the sex isn't any better" kind of fall flat on their face in any objective sense. My foreskin comprises the majority of my skin in that region, and is thus loaded with nerve endings itself. It shields the head of my penis from contact (like, say, from scratching against my clothes all day every day) , making contact pronounced. Pull back the foreskin, and a stiff breeze is a revelation of the divine. I have experiences in this regard for which the uncut have no correlate.

That, and the pleasure of knowing that my mother wasn't willing to have me mutilated immediately upon delivery for a nonexistent god, or because of a cultural tradition.....that's nice, too. I can certainly think of more than a few people in the world who would have appreciated this courtesy.......which was denied to them.

I don;t expect any of these things to be reasons that someone would go out and get themselves some foreskin, if they didn't have any, but I wonder whether or not any discussion of "benefits" is relevant to a discussion of whether or not it;s a good idea to slice off a piece of your body, or more accurately, to have someone else slice of a piece of someone else's body, at your behest. To me, as soon as we start discussing benefits, it would have to be -for- slicing it off, not for leaving it on....and probably not an issue of anything other than what the slicee wants to do, not their mother.

Looks better? Opinion.
Feels better? How would the cut know?
Cleanliness? Wash...your....dick.

This is my biggest disagreement with the anti-circumcision crowd. I just don't see the big deal about it. I know some users will say, "It's a chunk of your junk, how do you not care!?" but I really don't. Last time I had this argument I was told that circumcision is a child abuse, and parents who do it to their poor defenseless babies should have their child taken away. Because I'm clearly so traumatized by this thing that I have absolutely no memory of that a majority of American males had done to them too...

I won't even get into the medical benefits because it became clear to me last time I debated this that, while there are benefits to it, they're not very big ones.

Not sure which research you are thinking of, but I'm pretty sure the general scientific consensus is that sensitivity is reduced by circumcision. That makes sense considering the foreskin contains a load of nerves.

I have a feeling that trying to measure "sex being better" is going to be kinda subjective. Some circumsized guys will have great sex, some uncircumsized guys will have terrible sex, completely unrelated to their foreskins or lack thereof.

I know for a fact there was a study done with males who had circumcisions later in life (after already being sexually active) and compared the experiences. It was early research but it showed that there was little difference. I know the article exists because I cited it last time I had this discussion, but I'm too busy to find it right now.
