Foreskin on the penis - should it be removed?

[iron_man]

hey guys and girls i am wondering about foreskin yes i have some but i don't like it. i don't no why i just don't think it shoudl be there. I don't know anyone that has it and i kinda want to know if i shoudl get it taken off or not. to me it seems kinda like a waste of skin or is it godd for it. also does it hurt to get it taken off?

I think it's better. Your not meant to have part of your dick chopped off. If it was supposed to be that way it would have came that way. I'm not going to have it done unless it's an absolute emergency because I assume it would hurt like hell.

Of course it hurts to get it taken off, those babies cry like hell for a long time! I know that it makes maintenance easier, but it's not necessary to have it taken off. My first lover had fore skin, I liked it just fine, it was like a little penis turtleneck. Since then I have had lovers without it and didn't think there were any noticeable advantages or disadvantages. Anyhow, if you've still got it and it's not causing any medical problems, I would suggest not messing with it (if it ain't broke don't fix it.) If a sexual partner is perplexed by it, let them explore, if they're appalled by it, send them packing, they ain't worth it. I am not having it done to my kids, ever, it seems a little nutty to me, despite tradition or whatever.

the http://www.afraidtoask.com forums have a lot of information about the foreskin, and could probably help you deal with yours. It helped me out tonnes.

IT ALSO HELP A BUNCH WHEN YOU ARE GETTING WACKED OFF, YOU DON'T NEED ANY LUBE. IT WAS PUT THERE FOR A REASON.

Removal of the foreskin (a circumcision) would be painful. It is almost mandatory that all children born in America get circumcised for health reasons; if the foreskin is intact, hygiene could become an issue.

 

I suppose it is all a matter of preference. There are women who find uncircumcised penises less attractive, and there are those that do not seem to care. It is also sometimes said that uncircumcised men experience more sexual pleasure during stimulation than circumcised men.

 

I am personally of the mindset that circumcision is generally a good idea, and I see no real reason to believe that uncircumcised males experience any greater pleasure sensations.

Let me first say that the following comment is not meant to be taken personally by any man, with or without circumcised penis. Simply, in my experience...which is not exceptional (I am not a slut) and not narrow (I am not a prude)...eh hem... in my experience, and from discussions I've had with male and female friends, men with circumcised penises tend to be more sensitive to stimulation, and I believe as a result also tend to be gentler during intercourse (they don't need as vigorous stimulation, perhaps.) Uncircumcised men seem to be able to put up with more, as a result of being slightly (just slightly) less sensitive.

 

I think that biologically perhaps the foreskin doesn't have much of a reason, but if I went around chopping off parts of my body I didn't absolutely NEED..... geesh.... anyhow, I know that it can be beneficial to get rid of foreskin for infection purposes, but it's nothing that learning a few habits won't take care of. In general, I have to say that I'm opposed to any sort of genital mutilation, and circumcision falls into that category for me. I wonder if any social studies have been done to note any significant differences between similar societies where one tends to circumcised their men vs one that doesn't.

 

You're born damn near as perfect as you're ever gonna get, and then your parents get their hands on you and all hell breaks loose.
