I have not read the whole thread in detail, (nor by the way had you Bill D, that joke had already been told), but I am ammazed that so much discussion some of it quite heated could have been generated by a small piece of skin.

Anyway, on a lighter note, how in the hell could the village idiot have passed his time if he had been circumcised:

The village idiot he was there,
Up to his usual trick,
Pulling his foreskin over his head
And whistling through his prick.

Sorry, couldn't resist it!

Having circumcision done in my twenties, I can tell you that it is MUCH cleaner and doesn't have that disgusting smell. I get so irritated with people who say just make sure you clean it properly. Seems to me that's all I did and if it was warm out that smell would return within an hour.....yes an hour. So much for keeping it clean. I am VERY HAPPY I had this done in my twenties, although would have preferred to have it done as an infant. I have come to the conclusion that some uncircumsized men are immune to that stentch.

Or, maybe some just don't have it? I don't know!

Quite right jordon, all body parts that have an odour should be excised.

When my sons were born, over thirty years ago, I didn't even think of it till the doctor asked about circumcision. My ex-wife and I talked it over and couldn't come to a decision, so we started asking men friends if they were or were not circumcised and what recommendations they had. I found no one who regretted being circumcised, but found many, my father included who regretted not having it done. One co-worker of my ex-wife had, like GUEST,Jordan, had his circumcision done as an adult for medical reasons. He strongly suggested that we have it done while they were infants. It wasn't till after it was done that we ever met any males who had regretted having it done.

it is all parents duty to have their sons circumcised. my parents neglected to do that for me and have had problems with it for my youger years. i had several painful infections and the girls hated the smell and look. i was always made fun off in the locker room also. i had to be circumcised at age 18 and since then my sex life improved along with the feeling for my partners. since then my two sons were both circumcised at birth and i was present at both of them and they barely fussed at all during the procedure. we never noticed any discomfort. SO TO ALL PARENTS GET YOUR SONS CIRCUMCISED THEY WILL THANK U LATER

I didn't have the choice as I was circumcised as an infant, as was my brother.

I don't know about him, but I've never been turned down for a blowjob by women who previously had only seen the full monty, and might give a wank but not fellatio.

I remember getting into a drunken debate yonks ago between two men, I being one, who had been , and two men who hadn't.

The conclusions seemed to me that with a foreskin you get a longer slide, and without one you don't come as quickly.

As to there 'being nothing to draw back' just think banjo string.

WHO recommendations regarding male circumcision (2007)

...Promoting male circumcision should be recognized as an additional, important strategy for the prevention of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men....
Male circumcision does not provide complete protection against HIV infection....
The message that male circumcision is very different from female genital mutilation also needs to be emphasized....

BTW, male circumcision reduces the male's probability to get AIDS from an infected female, but most likely not vice versa

We decided not to have our two sons circumsized; they're now 24 and 27 respectively, no infections and no complaints. I have no regrets.

I myself was circumsized as an infant, like almost all male children born at that time (immediately post-WWII) in the US.

I see billboards all the time advertising vasectomy reversal. Can you get a circumcision reversal?

Just kidding.

PoppaGator--you may be kidding, but it can be done and it has been done.
During the Greco-Roman period in Israel (Judea), many assimilationist Jews did have foreskin enhancement performed.

Not too long ago (which could be as long as a couple of years ago) I read in a newspaper that some men were having circumcision revisions performed. What some folks will do for beauty!

Foreskin restoration a growing concern.

Nice link; here's an excerpt:

What is non-surgical foreskin restoration?

Non-surgical foreskin restoration is the re-covering of the glans penis by tissue expansion. Tape and weights, elastic straps, a traction device, or even manual stretching can be used to exert a gentle outward tension on the shaft of the penis to induce the skin to grow, to make the most of what was left after the circumcision. ... "Tugging" is a common term for non-surgical foreskin restoration.

None for me, thanks. Tape and weights? Traction device? Are we sure that all that "outward tension" will really be "gentle"? And how many hours a day, for how long, must one devote to standing still and staying at home, hooked up to your traction device or weights or whatever?

And that's just the non-surgical alternative. I don't even want to think about the other...

I think a fellow would need a big nasty chip on his shoulder ~ that is, to be excessively obsessed with "taking his body back from the mutilaters" ~ before he'd put up with all that mess...
