To chop or not to chop?

[Fragony]

I can't smell it jezz.

But what about the ladies? Growing a tiramisu might not be the best way to get the one eyed bandit smooched. Poor thing must be up to it's neck

[Moros]

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.

[GoreBag]

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.

That'l be the day. Ladies tend to avoid me.

[orangat]

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

[lars573]

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.

[Aenlic]

I wasn't given a choice. It was just standard medical practice in the US in the 1950's. Not that I'd have been able to make an intelligent decision; since at that point I was only capable of sleeping, eating and occasionally spewing out of one end or the other.

I'm glad you said most.

Why is that?

[Samurai Waki]

Well Ladies will tend to avoid an uncut, dirty penis Now All You have to do is call im' "Rear Admiral Heinz" and nobody will bother to give ya a second glance

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.

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?

[lars573]

Why is that?

Variety of reasons.
1.While not ugly I have bad skin.
2.Shyness
3.Social phobia
4.I'd rather be right
5.I'm cheap like a Scot

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.

I'm hoping, for your sake, you are referring to someone you know who is called Scot?

Oh dear...

Internet dating will work just as well as any other type of dating, though as with any other type of dating it all depends on the individuals.

1.While not ugly I have bad skin.

Bad skin affects your confidence and social interaction. Are you referring to acne, if so this is treatable as are many other skin complaints. Forget the fake soapy commercial remedies, they won't work, see a doctor and find a real solution.

2.Shyness
3.Social phobia

Related to the above and most likely the phimosis problem. The phimosis and skin problem may be making you feel bad about yourself and is mentally blocking you from approaching women.

[IrishArmenian]

I got it. I think it is good that I got the knife when I was a baby. Cleaning is easier.

How goes your science project lars573? (spare the details please)

[Incongruous]

I can't belive I just read through this entire thread...

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

It has a morbid facination, doesn't it?

I'm so glad we had sex-ed, otherwise I'd probably be in Lars' situation right now.

Bad skin is usually caused by diet. In my case Chocolate. Eat more fruit and less sweets, a face scrub can also help. Give it a couple of weeks and youy may not need to go to the dock,

Oh, and Lars, the smell starts in days, take it from someone who's shared military showers.

[Mithrandir]

eewl, this thread is.... eeewl....

Why oh why did I sign up for the backroom...do I really need the money that bad ?

So much to think about.


...eewl.

[Sjakihata]

no chopping for me, thankyouverymuch!

[yesdachi]

I voted “chop”. I (my wife too) find it better aesthetically and hygienically.

I was there for my son’s and it went fine. I dipped my finger in sugar water and let him suck on it like a pacifier while the doc used a little contraption that ensures no “mistakes” to snip off the hood. It looks good and we have never had any infection issues.

[Bar Kochba]

i had it chopped at 8 days old and i dont see anything wrong with it

[drone]

I figured I'd resurrect this beauty instead of starting a new one. Why deprive newer Backroom members of the sheer genius in this thread?
