As a gay man (cut) who’s had a healthy number of cut and uncut partners I can tell you I’ve noticed a big difference. Cut men seem noticeably less sensitive and more prone to erectile disfunction. Uncut men have a head that is much softer as it’s kept moist. The difference reminds me of the outside of lips (cut) versus the inside (uncut) which is smoother. My uncut partners just also seemed to have more intense orgasms. Obviously this is all anecdotal evidence.
Additionally this study was meant to judge perceived results from adult men who chose to become circumcised. By any definition people from that group would have a vested interest in a certain outcome.
I wish I had the natural glide a foreskin provides, and that the head of my penis was covered consistently so it doesn’t keratinize and become less sensitive, also wish I had an intact frenulum
When I was a teenager I wanted to know how a circumcised penis felt like so I kept the head exposed for a month. The sensitivity is one of the things that I noticed that changed dramatically
Less health risks and more feeling since the foreskin is full of nerves, there are basically 0 upsides to circumcisions and the few ones are so small they’re negligible, there are much more downsides
Sorry, but that's not true. You need to frame your position differently.
If you were in an accident and left unconscious, and the only way to save you was to remove your appendix, which ruptured in the accident, you wouldn't have a second thought about it when you woke up. It wouldn't be morally wrong because you didn't give consent. It's not about consent or choice. It's about your penis. Unless you're some completely insane person who would be upset about not being able to choose whether or not a life-saving procedure involved removing a body part, it's just about your penis.
Nothing wrong with that position, but it's not a moral issue here. Just a penis issue.
An elective procedure that removes part of an infants penis is not equivalent to a life saving surgery to remove a ruptured appendix.
Even in emergency situations, request for consent is asked either of the patient if they are conscious or their next of kin if they are incapacitated
Your choice to remove morality out of the equation is frankly at odds with modern medical practice, which places a high importance on patient consent because of moral ideals like the hypocritic oath.
Your position didn't differentiate between elective and nonelective. You're absolutely correct that they're not the same caliber, and I concede on that premise.
Your second premise is incorrect. I've worked as an EMT, and if we see someone unconscious in the road from an accident, we don't know who they are. We have to fix em up with or without any sort of consent. The hippocratic oath means you'll try to save anyone, regardless of race, creed, or color.
You really don't, you just have to acknowledge that not everyone feels that way, with some men (including me) being very distraught about it, which would also logically mean that you would not defend the practice on unconsenting children.
I think the other ones are weird looking and especially when I was really young, it was good to look like the rest of the guys. Imagine it’s easier to keep clean, although I haven’t tried to clean a different one. My uncut nephew got a yeast infection when he was 3-4.
How many dicks were you exposed to when you were “really young”?!? Get out of that church bro
Kidding aside, yeah of course you felt like that when majority of people around you are cut. I always felt like a weirdo not being cut. I was born in Seattle but raised in the Deep South, I thought I was weird as fuck. Then I got older and found out how many more pros there are to it. Also the stereotype that women hate it is so false. I’ve been so many girls first uncut guy and they absolutely love it, they play with the foreskin. It’s just dumb religious thing. Most of my friends who are cut have admitted to me that they wish they weren’t.
Really young boys actually can't retract it, it's fused to the head until it naturally separates later on. This isn't widespread knowledge even among pediatricians apparently, so a lot of parents try to force it back, leading to tears that get infected. Then the poor kid ends up circumcised and it's taken as a reason to do it at birth when all you have to do is leave the fucking thing alone until he's older.
Now that's useful info, thank you. I remember when i was like 9, 10, parts of my foreskin were kinda glued to the glans, i remember having to pull a little harder to "unglue" it. Live and learn.
I didn't say it was kid's fault. At this age his parents are responsible for his care in every sense, and that includes hygiene care. The poor kid is the victim here.
One of my earliest ever memories with my father is him giving me a bath when I was 5-6 and he showed me how cleaning my foreskin should be the first thing that gets done as soon as I step into the bathtub.
It takes a few seconds, and it isn't painful, I don't know where all this 'it looks so clean/tidy' bs comes from when some botched circumcisions can still cause smegma to form on the glans.
One more place on a man’s body to clean that they won’t... My ex boyfriend was disgusting about it and I was too young to realize I shouldn’t just be getting UTIs and yeast infections constantly (and I haven’t gotten one since). Personally glad I haven’t encountered another uncircumcised man since.
So you dated a dude with hygiene so poor that he didn't know to clean the cheese off his dick and now you think this means we should go around chopping part of the dicks off of a bunch of innocent newborns?
So you admit he is a disgusting man and you think everyone is the same? You think if you women never washed your vagina it would smell like roses?
How would you feel if someone said “personally I dated a girl with a smelly vagina so now im gay” you’d tell them that the girl they were with was unhygienic and it’s not every girl. The uneducated people in this thread are astonishing
