Circumcision

[tay]

Shouldnt the guys who have been circumcised be complaining if it was so horrible? I havent heard a single one say they wish it hadnt been done. Instead all the uncircumcised ones are complaining about circumcised men... seems a bit strange really. Do gooders running amok.

Not being promiscuous, using protection during sex and washing properly will protect as much as circumcision in most cases so it is not needed.

So I can be more promiscuous, dont need a johnny and dont have to wash my tub so often.

And you think thats a BAD thing


thanks mum

Fair enough. but is that a reason to circumcize all boys in case they need it done on medical grounds later?

Did I imply that? I didn't meant to. Just speaking personally.

Can I ask if, without medical grounds, you would have have it done? Put another way - pleased you slip through the net?

Again personally, as I didn't have any choice:

For
===

Hygene - There can be no argument here. All the "use more soap and water" brigade can't alter the fact that no matter what (including say after a wink or heavy exercise) there is never any odour from down there.

Aesthetics - Only had positive comments. Mind you my helmet is the size of big ben (probably why I needed the op) so that may count this one out.


Against
======

Pain - It bloody hurt at 13.
Psychological - Endless abuse from peers at school. Even today I'm still affectionately known as "half hat" in certain circles. All good character building stuff.
Size - I think shrinkage after exercise/in cold is exacerbated.

Anyone think of anything else?

On a different tack, though sort of related.
As a preventative measure should we neuter and spey all those who carry congenital diseases? It would save a lot of suffering for future generations.

Shouldn't that be a new thread?

Sounds like most of the trauma was because you had to have done when older.

Very good point. I have seen a few guys complain on TV about it - but I got the impression most did not want it done.

The perils of believing what you see on TV.

So now you are telling us you dont wash properly after heavy exercise or a pot noodle? Dirty bugger..

I reckon they might complain about it... unlike any man who has been circumcised. Why are you so upset on behalf of people who are quite happy with how thier todger is?

So after polishing one off in the khazi at work do you lower your undercarriage into the basin for a good rinse off? Yeeuch! You FREAK!
