Quote From: bankheadbabyHey guys. I have been reading up on circumcision, in preparation of the birth of my child--incase it's a boy. My husband wants him circumcised because he doesn't want him teased. After reading up on it and seeing pics of the procedure, I think he will have to pry the child from my cold dead hands before I let it happen. He's still out of town, so I will wait until he gets back to broach the subject.
It's funny that only about 83% of males world wide are NOT circumcised, the majority of those who are are American. It started in the 1880s when wacko doctors, thinking masturbation caused illness such as blindness, etc. encouraged circumcision to de-sensitize the penis and discourage masturbation. Circumcision as a cure for masturbation!! Come to find out, with the glans exposed and rubbing against clothing, it does de-sensitize and toughen the penis, but that leads to MORE masturbation and harder thrusting during sex. Men with natural penises have more nerve endings, the head is protected and sensitive, so they get more sexual gratification from intercourse...supposed to help the lady keep wet and enjoy more shallow gentle stroke.
I was wondering who out there had partners with or without foreskin, how they felt in bed and if either seemed more prone to porn/masturbation or not. I am really curious. I have only been with four men, all circumcised and none were exceptional, sensitive strokers.
I am a man not circumcised. (european that explains a lot =) ) And well it is true that a penis is less sensitive when circumcised. The procedure is not necessary, so when not doing it out of religious reasons I would advice against it. (I like it the way I am.) (every procedure brings a little risk with it even if it is only a very tiny risk there is a risk.)
The masturbating or watching porn has more to do with sexdrive and personal preference then cicumcision I guess, even though I have no evidence to support that theory. As for the partner thing well I couldn't say anything on that, I'm not homosexual so... =)
