    Over the last few days we have all been part of one man's struggle to retract his foreskin...

    And now we leave him, voyaging on into the smegma, and boldly going where few men have gone before...

    Gah, it's irritatingly difficult to find streams of commercial TV on the web. Here's a clip from Penn & Teller's show on circumcision; sadly, this was the best I could do using legal tools.

    Circumcision? I rather not have it circumsised. I like it the way it is.

    Btw: I read they promoted it to stop mastrubation in the begin of 20th century? But why would it stop it or slow it donw? I mean it can't be hard to do it without the foreskin can it.

    I'm not going to re-create the weeks of research I did on the subject, but here's a little something:

    Before the 1870s, in the United States, routine medical circumcision was quite rare, hovering around 5 to 6 percent of all newborn baby boys. Subscribers to the new Victorian sexual morality sought to reduce what critics perceived to be rampant sexual promiscuity, and especially masturbation, which, they believed, resulted in all sorts of debilities and even death. Masturbation was said to cause all manner of emotional, psychological, and physiological problems, from bed-wetting to adolescent insolence, acne to mental retardation, insanity, psychological exhaustion, and neurasthenia.

    Circumcision's well-established ability to curb sexual appetite and pleasure was prescribed as a potential cure for sexual profligacy. Lewis Sayre, a prominent New York physician, hailed as "the Columbus of the prepuce" by his colleagues, experimented with circumcision as a cure for paralysis and other muscular ailments. Sayre's colleagues also noted that Jews had a lower rate of STDs than non-Jews, and hypothesized that this had to do with circumcision. (Actually this had to do with the fact that Jews had very little sexual contact with non-Jews.)

    Another physician, Dr. Peter Remondino, advocated universal male circumcision since the foreskin, which he labeled "an unyielding tube," left the intact male "a victim to all manner of ills, sufferings...and other conditions calculated to weaken him physically, mentally, and morally; to land him, perchance, in jail, or even in a lunatic asylum." And Robert Tooke's popular All About the Baby (1896) recommended circumcision to prevent "the vile habit of masturbation."

    J. H. Kellogg, pioneering health reformer, cereal inventor, and general medical quack also sounded the alarm; his best-selling health advice book, Plain Facts for Old and Young (1888), included nearly 100 pages on the dangers of masturbation. Circumcision is almost always successful in curbing masturbation, he counseled, and he suggested that the operation be performed "by a surgeon without administering anesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind...."

    We scorn such idiocy now, Lemur. But people in 100 years will scorn as us well. Imagine when religion no longer causes/contributes to wars? The people then will shake their head in disbelief at our ancient human intolerance.

    You just ruined one of my favourite desserts. Thanks Fragony. Now I can't eat Tiramisu anymore without thinking about, a "tiramisu".

    The idea of circumcision is ridiculed by most (younger) people up here. It would be a stigma to have it done to one.

    I'm suddenly reminded of something Tribesman told me, weeks ago in the chatroom. A man he knew was having sex upstairs at a party and tore his foreskin. Heh.

    It is generally only the people who have had it done (of which there are very few willing to admit) and their friends who do not, I must say.

    I find it hard to believe anyone hasn't rolled down the foreskin. I suspect phimosis.

    Doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. I never have. Neither had my brother. Until he was driven to the doctor and a snip. I suspect infection, he doesn't want to say.

    Indeed, though phimosis is simply the term for an unretractable foreskin due to a white inelastic band of scar tissue, there is usually an underlying cause, which is almost always balanoposthitis. This is usually treatable as is the phimosis, without circumcision.

    Ladies don't avoid an uncircumsised penis, otherwise circumcision would be popular worldwide, which it isn't except mainly in the US, parts of africa and parts of the middle east. They will however, quite obviously, avoid males with poor hygiene.

    If you had gone on a date with a woman and taken her back to your place (or her place) and on 'taking the plunge', you discovered that she had an odour that you could only liken to the fish market, would you like it?

    I don't have poor hygiene. I shower every morning. Try to brush twice a day.

    I wouldn't mind. I have a weak sense of smell. Plus I'm used to worse smells. And it also assumes that I've ever been on a date before. Bad assumption.

    okay.

    But yet you physically cannot reach a portion of your body that accumulates a cheesey substance when dirty for extended period s of time...

    Its pretty bad. You have to ask them to leave.

    And it also assumes that I've ever been on a date before. Bad assumption.
