Circumcision?

So, what is someone's daughter grows up to be a total whore? That would be bad for the village so we'd better cut off her clitoris and labia to prevent such a tragedy.

If your boy ends up having issues with premature ejaculation then he can use various resources to help him with this problem that don't rely on mutilation.

Reaper, see my earlier post:

Aww yes the eternal question of helmet or toque.

The answer: toque.

We're not so different you and I. I didn't mean that post as promotion for either option, was simply trying to lighten the mood a little more.

It is quite possible for those with helmets to obtain nicknames such as "one pump" as well.

I'll refrain from responding to the question about the village bicycle.

Edit: Reaper, we are in fact different.

Sooo Reaper.... are you saying that your sex life is unsatisfying?

No, I'm not saying my sex life is unsatisfying.

However, it could be that much more satisfying had my penis not had 30% of its sensory area removed because of a misguided approach.

Thats understandable. It could be that those people I know are still stuck on the more traditional viewpoint.

Circumcision has been found to have some benefits.

After accounting for such factors as age at first intercourse and lifetime number of sexual partners, circumcised men were only about a third as likely as uncircumcised men to test positive for HPV. The authors speculate that circumcision, which involves removal of the foreskin, minimizes the area of the penis vulnerable to HPV infection.

HPV causes genital warts in men and women, and certain strains cause virtually all cervical cancers. HPV also has been linked to cancers of the vagina, anus and penis.

On the whole, partners of circumcised men were about 25% less likely to have cervical cancer than partners of uncircumcised men, a difference that was not statistically significant. But among women in relationships with men at high risk for HPV, those with circumcised partners were 80% less likely to have cervical cancer.

Co-author Keerti Shah, a virologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, notes that other research suggests that circumcision also reduces men's risk of infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. "This may be something that may be true for many sexually transmitted infections," Shah says.

Ya, I was reeeeeeeeal happy. And, he is almost 2 and its STILL not right.

That would be my entry for the dirty little secrets thread. If it were a secret. My Dad seems to love telling the story about how I had to get done twice, especially after a couple beers. He usually finishes the *ahem* little anecdote by saying "It's short, but it sure is pretty!"

I have no recollection of what I had to endure... frankly it couldn't have been as bad as putting up with my Dad's story telling. We had our son done as well, simply because I was.

Some people are really passionate about it though! We *had* a friend, of strong German descent, who he had several arguments with, about whether the holocaust even happened, give us the snide remarks, "So I hear you are going to give your kid the Jeeeewwwwiiisssh look." I don't understand hate like that.

As far as sensitivity, I guess I don't know what I am missing, and the little guy with the crew cut seems happy too.

Washing your penis thoroughly and practicing safe sex can have the same benefits.

That's really bad. I can definitely understand the "had" part.

You've got a right to your opinion...I'm not disputing that. I just find your numerical argument kind of funny...weighing 30% vs. 3%, or whatever number you used. The physiologists might tell you that 30% of your nerve endings have been cut off, but that doesn't tell you anything about the qualitative "feeling" you get.

I don't ever find myself saying, "that was good, but it would have been better if I weren't cut!"

Yeah, but you have no basis to try and decide. You can't try it both ways to know for sure.

Practicing proper hygene and safe sex could eliminate a lot of diseases that somehow still hang around.

Regardless of what could or can happen, the results of what does happen speak for themselves.

Sorry jroc unlike yourself, I don’t see a new penis everyday…

Anyways for the rest of you who tried to give me some advice much appreciated. Helmet or a Toque? Hahahha anyways I’ll do the research, regards it’s not a big deal either way my “solider” has treated me very well to date and I wouldn’t change him for the world….

Conceded...no way to compare. Unless your parents let you decide when you're 18, at which point you've had 18 years of development "under cover" to skew the overall results.

Yeah, the results speak to a lack of personal responsibility for a lot of people.

Rule #1: Always keep your most valued possession clean
Rule #2: Don't go sticking it in any old dirty skank
