    Less chance of contracting STDs, especially AIDS.
    Generally more hygenic
    Reduces risk of cancer (although pretty low in the first place).
    Less sensitivity is better, surely? There are some journeys that where the fun is getting there.

    The benefits are there, but their degree is disputed...

    Guess it's mainly up to personal choice...

    Sure, it has benefits, but at the end of the day I don't think too many of us want the chop for obvious reasons, unless it has been given at birth (then again, I'm sure they wouldn't have wanted it in the first place)

    I decided that I would be the last lemur with a chopped Johnson. The little lemurs are safe from the knife.

    I go with evolution on this one.

    I didn't have a choice. I grew up thinking mine looked normal (small, but normal). Everyone else I've ever seen (this may sound bad, but really it isn't) had the little one chopped. However, assuming I reproduce, I think I'll let my male heirs make that decision, for better or worse.

Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"

    The words scapel and wanger should never be in the same sentence.................. unless it's to say they shouldn't be in the same sentence

    Anyway, who wants to last longer when there's TV to be watched If you do want to last longer just drink vodka, always works for me.

    Just out of curiosity, Idaho... how does this particular topic end up turning into a flame war? Do people start insisting that the other side adopt their position?

    I will say (and I'm actually pro-circumcision) I find it amusing how upset women get over the topic of female circumcision (even among baby girls) yet don't even think twice about lopping off the tip of their little boys' willies.

    Besides, anecdotally, I thought that having a foreskin increased your chances for contracting venereal diseases (and for some unknown reason, cancer).

    Edit: Oops, missed Reenk's post. Sorry about that.
