Circumcision Removes Most Sensitive Bits

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Well, if you want to last longer it's probably easier to rub a little topical anaesthetic on then, say, getting circumcised. The former's more reversible.

I'm hardly surprised. Circumcision is a religious-sadistic ritual to suppress the male sexuality, just like female circumcision is a ritual to suppress female sexuality. Good that the study has been presented, so that at least medical research can finally start devising an alternative surgery (that doesn't remove the senses) for those who do it for non-religious reasons. Also, that it will finally not be considered any better than Clitoridectomy. Perhaps this will be the start of a campaign against the oppression of men in the cultures that use circumcision.

I'm almost tempted to tell you what you could do, but I won't. I'm circumcised and never had a problem with it. I don't want somebody else to tell me that I've been brutalised, mutilated or oppressed, and indeed if you said that to me face to face I'd have no problem punching you.

And no that isn't an inferiority complex speaking.

And no, I don't feel 'numb'. I enjoy sex very much thank you, and I like the fact that there's no bacterial growth on my penis.

@Grey Fox: I'm pretty sure Legio was joking... "oppression of men in cultures that use circumcision?" Come on.

@Lemur: You really should have your kid(s?) clipped. If nothing else whatsoever, it greatly reduces the odor. Hate to be crude, but it's true.

Besides which, who is really going to want to rub on some "topical anesthetic" before sex? "Excuse me, lover, whilst I rub some cream onto my penis, and then we can get going."

I'd say soap is an easier way of doing it. My schnauser smells perfectly well.

I wasn't joking

Holy crap, you really weren't... wow.

Seriously, man, it sounds like you have some very weird sexual issues that you are expressing via your hatred of circumcision. Please, go see a psychologist and bother us not with your surreal rants.

Unlike people who were mutilated as babies, I know the difference in sexual sensibility by experience. Maybe you should go see a phycologist for insisting that people should have the most important part of their penis cut off, and trying to call me mentally ill for opposing your view. I'm tired of random strangers calling me abnormal for openly admitting that I've suffered from and been reppressed by this mutilation. It's like calling a raped woman abnormal for suffering afterwards.

I don't mind if you mutilate yourself and your children, I will respect it and won't try to stop it. But for God's sake don't try to hide and deny that it removes sexual sensitivity, to prevent the circumcision for non-religious purposes from being replaced by an alternate, less mutilating surgery or medication. And give other people a chance to decide whether to be mutilated or not when they've reached a high enough age to make decisions for themselves.

ok guys it really isnt that big of a deal. Im pretty sure sex is an enjoyable experenice for all of us. No need to be at each others throats about wether you have a hood or not

I'm circumcised myself so I know what I'm talking about. I used to brag about cleanness and "sex lasts longer" when I was still in my denial phase, but I now realize how pathetic I was at that time. It's not at all cleaner, unless you live in a desert without water to clean yourself, and women don't have a problem with the length of intercourse with most unmutilated men, if at all it lasts longer with mutilated penis, it's a diluted experience. "Clean" and "long lasting sex" were excuses I used to accept my condition.

I don't need a random stranger on the Internet telling me that he'll punch me in the face when I say I feel repressed and deprived of my human rights after this mutilation. How many people do I need to hear telling me that it's not normal to feel mutilated - here I'm even threatened with violence over it. I think people who have suffered such mutilation should receive support to get past the denial state, rather than being scared into keeping the frustration inside and feeling increasingly traumatized. I'm glad this study has finally proven that circumcision is mutilation, and that other circumcised people, as well as some unmutilated people, can stop calling me abnormal for feeling mutilated and repressed, and that I can receive support to live a normal life despite this. And that perhaps states will invest money into researching organ regeneration to find a way of perhaps reversing this mentally painful condition. And that people who do circumcision for non-religious reasons receive alternate treatments, such as possibly removing only the upper 10th of the foreskin, rather than all of it, or similar. And that society fairly either takes stance against both male and female genital mutilation (in the name of human rights), or none of them (in the name of religious tolerance).

On that your ineligible for comment. You don't know the difference, you were mutilated (if female curcumcision is multilation then so is male) as an infant. You litterally don't know the difference, and you can't ever know. Neither do I though, for the opposite reason. My brother however said sex isn't as good (for him) without the foreskin. But he's since over come his self inflicted hadicap.

Oh, and in case your wondering I never got mine more than half way back. Then my knees give out and my eyes roll back into my head from the sensory over load.

Grey Fox why do you care about what these guys think? You seem to be taking allot of offense over a thread that should be nothing more than puns

Haha! I remember I thought I broke the damn thing when I finally managed to roll mine out completely... But then, I was around 8 at the time

I'd advise you to take it slowly, a millimeter a day or something. The skin under the foreskin has never been exposed to air, and so it needs some time to adjust.

Oh and as for female/male circumcision, they are two quite different things. The male version removes a small part, the female version often includes sewing the thing shut, and causes a whole bunch of issues, like diseases, as it's not very easy to clean the thing....
