In my eyes you're born with it, it's part of your body, there's no need to cut it off. It isn't unclean, it's perfectly natural.
Couldn't have put it better myself :thumbup:
I really don't understand the US obsession with it :think:Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.0 -
Story from a radio station intern talking about his circumscision later in life, so he knows what it's like to be both uncircumscized and circumscized. I remember listening to all parts of this interview and it was enlightening.

I am a bit irritated by all this hygiene talk.
I feel a rant brewing but I will try to restrain myself.
Suffice to say that I disagree wholehearted with the view that it is somehow 'unclean'. I don't clean up my nose with a cotton bud in case there's some germ up there. I don't do the same with my nether regions. I also won't be cutting off bits of myself just to make it easier to clean.

idk about "obsession"...i think, simply put, it's been the norm for so long here. i do believe though, slowly, the tide is turning. i've read much on the topic in say the last 5-10 years, and yea....not really a topic of interest for me, haha....so i do think the medical community is saying it's all safe/clean....tho yes, still say to a certain extent, a wee bit more of cleanliness is required, but certainly nothing to worry about!
this whole thing reminds me of an episode of sex and the city, when charlotte was dating an uncut man and she didn't like it. he went and got circumcised, felt like he was a virgin again, and then he dumped her b/c he wanted to try out his new penis with a lot of other women.Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow0 -
So much ignorance in this thread it is absolutely laughable.
Hygiene is not a reason to hack off a perfectly normal and functional part of the body, providing you shower or bathe every day there really is no issue at all. You guys are quite aware that the majority of the world's male population are NOT circumcised? If you want to take the hygiene route then should we not be removing the external parts of female genitalia? Surely they can harbour germs too? Makes no sense to me at all.0 -
I say snip it.0

i would almost bet a shit load of money on it that when a newborn is cut it only hurts for a brief moment. the pain does not last more than a few minutes. is this true?
so they got a swollen bloody penis. 92% of all men breathing right this second have a swollen and bloodied member. right this moment mine is puffed up and leaking fluid. i am perfectly fine actually.for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

It's not the normal procedure in Britain,unless for religious reasons.I have never been with a circumcised man and there has been no problem with hygiene.
I have only seen babies circumcised willies never an adult man.I'd rather than have it all there,if the babies are anything to go by,it looks too funky without“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”0 -

part 1: i would say that with a local anesthetic - there might be some discomfort after it wears off

Religion or No Religion...0

From what I've read it's just over 50% in the US.......0 -
it has to be more than 50% in the u.s.
i'd guess it's in the 90% range like someone said abovefor poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7
