Circomcised?


I saw an episode where Sean Maguire goes to the urologist because he's ''natural'', and the others are circomcised, so they mock him, and the ladies thinks its disgusting. Are most men in USA circomcised??

No, according to Wikipedia in the US 60.1% have had their penis circumcised. That's not mutilated.

reply

Yes it is.

No it isn't.

Hate to tell you, but circumcision is definately mutilation. Whether there is any reason to perform the mutilation is a contested point, although doctors are certainly having more and more trouble defending it as each of the so-called "benefits" is exposed as neglible.

reply

In a literal sense, yeah it is 'mutilation'. The hygiene benefits and generally positive response makes up for it though.

reply

Something over 75% of men in the world are intact, and we don't fall down in droves from the ailments you Americans go on and on about, nor do we find women (or men) running away screaming from the horror of it.

Nor is it from ignorance of modern medicine that we don't do it - on the contrary, almost all babies in New Zealand used to be done, now they aren't (so now most men over 35 are and most men under 35 aren't) and a very common reaction is that "circumcision is barbaric".

So... what? You're saying you'd be too lazy to wash your penis properly if you didn't have it cut up? You'd mutiliate you're arm pits or something if it meant you wouldn't have to wash them properly?

The mutilation doesn't make up for it's supposed "benefits", even according to the American Academy of Pediatrics which says "The benefits are not sufficient... to recommend that all infant boys be circumcised."

But hey, if you want slice off one of the most sensitive parts of you penis, because you think it looks better, go right ahead, but I'd rather have greater sexual enjoyment.

Here, here. I'm an English guy here and having a foreskin is completely normal and a good thing as that area is sensitive and has nerves, which makes sex really good.

Most guys with foreskins can normally wash under his foreskin, so he doesn't have to circumcised to make sure he is clean down there at all. I like guys that are cut (circumcised) or uncut (uncircumcised), but I can be a little squeamish depending on if there is a noticeable scar around the guy's willy.

No offence there, guys, as I still like people no matter what. I am just a little sensitive to some things like that and blood as well.

The poor baby boys that don't get a choice about circumcision from whatever religion or culture they are born into. There are people in the world who say it shouldn't happen to the babies.

Dazza xx :)

reply

There are arguments for and against circumcision. For instance, circumcisions are more hygienic but uncircumcised men find sex and masterbation more pleasurable because of the nerve endings in the forskin. I for on,am not circumcised and have no problem with it. You have to clean alittle more but that's it. Girls don't mind it and it does make sex feel better.

I live in Canada btw.

circino.net is not a reliable source for information about circumcision. It is the website of a professor of molecular biology (not a doctor) in Sydney who never saw a reason for circumcising he didn't like, including "to prevent The Bathroom Splatter" and to prevent zipper injury.

Circumcision FTW!!!!!!!!! Uncut penises are always less popular, which is why you rarely seen them in porn.

reply

At least 70% of the world's men are intact, and their partners love them that way. There are porn companies and directors that specialise in intact men, and they are thriving. The US is increasingly isolated in the developed world in cutting males.

if people here are going to bash americans, then i suggest you atleast learn how to spell. this american bashing is nonsense. every country does weird stuff, hell in the middle east people wipe themselves with their left hand and if you show someone the sole of you foot or shoe it is considered disrespect. that doesnt mean they're barbaric, its their culture.
if people want their sons to get circumcised at birth, or whenever at that fact, its their choice, get over it and stop bashing my country, i didnt vote for our president.

reply

I am awfully tempteted to make an anti-semetic comment about the realation of the US and their Jewish population. (Isreal gains the highest amount of foreigh aid from the US, the jewish population is the single most over represented group in the Senate. and now the entire curcumsision thing)


But i will refrain, after all look at what happened to Mel Gibson.

Those are all facts (at least easily backed inferences) and as such should not be deleted. This is just as good as a reasoning for the US electing this porcdure as anything i have ever read.

reply

what does that have to do with what i said? if it has nothing to do with it, then i apologize for the previous question.

reply

But then it's not the choice of the person the penis belongs to, and that's a human rights abuse. It's not like other 'decisions people make for their children' because most of those can be undone. He's not going to be 'their son' for most of his life, but a man with an opinion of his own about how much of his own penis he wants to keep.

what does this have to do with the show?

reply

The episode was funny though I felt that the reaction of Euan's friends seemed non realistic, but then after reading this thread...I had no idea that circumcision is so common, so to speak, in the US.
As for the procedure, personally I think it's pointless, first of all it numbs your senses thus giving less pleasure from sex. Second of all the higiene argument is absurd, because foreskin holds no boundary for being fresh and clean, unless of course you obey common sense everyday higiene. Then it prevents the penis from having contact with your lingerie, swimsuit etc. so I don't understand how it can be worse for your higiene. And most of all nature has given us foreskin for a reason I suppose. Just like It gave us 5 fingers instead of four...


Best regards

I personally think circumsized penises look better, and am glad to have been circumsized. I don't think there is that much of a diference in sensation with cut vs. Uncut so I doubt the arguemnt is even negligable. Circumcision for the win!!!!!

reply

Penises look ugly with or without foreskin, and who cares what you think of how it looks? It's the female opinion that matters when it comes to the appearance surely (unless you're gay). And since you're circumsised, how do you know what the sensation feels like for uncircumsised men? You also don't seem to know what negligible means, since the meaning is contrary to the point you were making. I can only assume your username is supposed to be ironic.

reply

But nobody's opinion trumps the penis' owner - not even his parents'.

I've always assumed that this is why teenagers in US movies are so obsessed with hand lotion...

This episode seemed really weird to us in the UK. Imagine how appalled you'd be by a sitcom episode where a woman was pressured by her friends to undergo genital mutilation to fit in - that's what watching this was like for people outside the US.

reply

lol, I would hate to be uncircumcised that sh!t is gross, most US girls aren't fans of it either.
