To circumcise or not to circumcise?

[paulpablo]

Sorry I made a pretty huge error in that post.  I fell asleep after posting which is why I'm only correcting it now.

I'm actually UN circumcised.  So I meant to type "Any other un circumcised males feel like that?"

So I have my full foreskin and it feels about as sensitive as the shaft, no where near as sensitive as the head.

After thinking about it though there are bits of the foreskin that are sensitive but just not in a sexual way.  Sensitive like fingertips are sensitive but not orgasm educing.

I'm still against circumcision but I don't think cutting the sensitive part of the foreskin off would reduce sensitivity in the way that some people are thinking.  It's sensitive yes, but not in the same way that the head is.

Get rid of that protection, and that head will be less sensitive than your shaft.

Yeh I get that bit, it's just the other part of equating more nerve endings with more sexual pleasure which I don't think is necessarily accurate.  Not that it's definitely inaccurate but just may not be accurate in the way it's being presented. I think it makes a difference what type of nerve endings they are, and sexual pleasure for me is mostly from the head, rather than any foreskin sensitivity.
This is what I'm thinking right now anyway based on how I've felt during handjobs and stuff like that.

For me personally, the head of my circumcised penis is very sensitive. Overly sensitive, in fact, sending shudders up and down my spine.

Do it to yourself, don't force it on others  

If I ever had a son, I would have him circumcised.

Some people will force their opinion onto their children, just look at religion you are not  upset with your parents because they did what you would have chosen or at least what you think you would have chosen because you haven't dealt with the indoctrination.

Would you still be supporting your parents decision/choice if it was something you wouldn't have chosen, or if it had have gone wrong?

If you want to know what it is like to be circumcised pull your foreskin back and then keep it back while wearing clothes  .... it will be very very uncomfortable for quite sometime but eventually your body/dick will protect itself by becoming less sensitive.

"The foreskin contains branches of the dorsal nerve and between 10,000 and 20,000 specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types, which are capable of sensing slight motion and stretch, subtle changes in temperature, and fine gradations in texture"

I don't think it's the most sensitive part, but I'm pretty sure most men would notice the difference. Not to mention possible loss of sensitivity in the head due to exposure and less possible but still possible loss of sensitivity altogether.

People talking about preferences and aesthetics and such, I will say this. The only time I'm even remotely picky is when it's going in my mouth. Then it's all about hygiene except for 1 other thing. I get a little iffy about extremely dried out looking skin. Tends to still be soft but just looking makes me think "I don't know if I want that in my mouth". I've never seen that on an uncircumcised man before. Not saying it's impossible bit I've never seen it.

ETA: ok I lied, it always has to be clean...always, but other than that I don't care

I think, but I don't know, that the underside of the foreskin is sensitive because I'm aware of the heat in the bath whenever it is exposed, but that could just be the glans so I'm not sure... will have to test it   But in any case I think the foreskin does a job of stimulating the glans when it moves, as it does during sex or masturbation.

Even after reading my post above the foreskin has twelve known functions?

The benefits far outweigh the aesthetics.

When I was a child doctors would make kids feel like it was a big treat to have their tonsils taken out. Now we know that tonsils are a part of the immune system that protect the upper respiratory system. We can't just hack something off just because we don't know what it does.

And I simply do not care. Must be tough for you to deal with that fact, that you cannot easily persuade just anyone to your way of thinking.

Please don't have children. That's fucking sick that you're so concerned about how a child's penis looks and you don't care about their health. Please please never have children.

I personally don't give a shit what you think, just think its a shame that any child of yours will be branded by the way you think

Also, I just found this funny that you're not easily persuaded by facts and evidence. Ok, p'slice
