Sorry Passiton2, you are rude and there are sentences in your discussions with other human beings that are just plain CONDESCENDING. The fact that you have to tell someone that "they dont have to ask for your permission" shows me that in reality this is what you really wished you could do. Again, as turk said, if you state things more objectively and less religiously, you may be more persuasive.

I really don't care for your opinions.  My words are not to win your favor.  They are truth.  And the truth is not always easy to swallow.  

 

Porn and the acceptance there of is easy, to stand against anything is not easy.

 

I don't win favor with my opinions, do you?  Yes you do.  Most that are involve here also do.  That is not my objective.  What is yours?  Why are you here and on the other board, supportive of those who suffer?  What is your purpose?  What is your stand?  To win favor with those who are the majority?

 

Think about it. My objective is not to be more persuasive to the majority. My objective is to speak how I have seen life and it's lessons, meaning the truth. Yours is questionable. Blows in the winds. Unstable, and weak to say the least.

No, dear, you only think your words are truth. These are your opinions. What you are doing is forcing these opinions on us and telling us that since we disagree with you, we must be wrong. Opinions are not wrong or right, only points of view. It may seem like an earthshattering concept to you, but not everyone agrees, and you have no place to tell people with different points of view that they are wrong.

 

No one hold it against you for not liking porn. That's okay. You can have that point of view because lots of people do. HOWEVER when you start saying that your opinion is truth, and that anyone who does like it is wrong and just doesn't understand, and you start telling us that we are wrong and patronize us for disagreeing with you, basically, forcing your opinions on us but refusing to listen to what we have to say, THEN we get annoyed. Having an opinion is okay, forcing that opinion on other people is NOT okay.

 

"When a man is sexually aroused his penis hardens and extends." THAT is truth.

"Premarital sex is immoral." THAT is opinion.

 

See the difference? Your belief that porn is bad is your OPINION, not absolute, proven truth. You have no right to say that it is truth. Once more, I shall reiterate myself, NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME POINT OF VIEW. NOT EVERYONE LIVES THE SAME LIFESTYLE. And I do not have to justify my own relationship to you.

 

Oh, and by the way, you are partially right about lubricants. PARTIALLY.

 

Not all women are the same, not every woman's body is the same. Some women can lubricate themselves enough, some woman cannot. It does not mean that something is being done improperly, it means that people have different bodies.

 

No, lubricant is not only meant for taste or smell. FLAVORED lubricants are meant for that, but not all lubricants.

 

Eros Bodyglide

Kama Sutra Desensitising gel

Kama Sutra heating gel

Kama Sutra cooling gel

ID Millenium

Wet Platinum

Climax burst

Moist Personal

 

Those are all unscented, flavorless, colorless lubricants made for the intention of moisture, lubrication. They have no smell, no flavor and are condom-friendly. Also, there are many lubricated condoms. Those also created to protect and assist in lubrication.

 

Just because you don't need it doesn't mean that no one else does.

 

Oh, and by the way, the person that told me that some women can end up with abrasions on their vaginal walls? My Human Sexuality class professor. Are you going to try and tell me that he's misinformed too?

You have no idea where this relationship will take you. Pure and simple there is no way you could know for certain.  we have all lived through that kind of life.  I don't discredit your relationship, you do, so does he.  That is what you do at your age.  Take for granted that all is just great and will never change. But it will and so will the changes you go through.  That is exactly what I am saying.   

 

You are not as old as I am, that is factual.  I can see, and totally understand where you are today, right now, but you can not possibly see or understand where I have been because you have not lived it.   There is no shame in that, it's just fact.  I am simply saying what you feel and think today is not, or will not be the same as it will be right now, at my age.  I USED to think like you.  But life's experiences no longer allow me to believe as you do right now....because I do know better.  That is simply the way it is. 

 

For me to lie to you and tell you differently is just that....lying to you.   And I would not lie to you anymore than I would lie to my own children.

 

And your last question.....yes, I have been punched in the face. Smack dab right in the middle. More than once.  And I learned something, depending on who was doing the hitting (punching, literally and not so literally) , I most certainly learned something each and every time it happened.  Today, thankfully, I did learn.  You should as well.

 

 

Okay. I would be surprised if you'd never been punched in the face.

 

I never have. I've been hit elsewhere, but I used to do Karate and sparring was my specialty.

Hey 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.
Well, I've only known one guy that was uncircumcized, but I do know that there's no medical advantage to it. Doesn't really need to be done, it's basically just up to the parents. Uncircumcised boys do need to clean their penises a little more, because sometimes fluids can get trapped under the foreskin, but it's just pretty much if the parents want to, it can be done, but it's not like the child will get some horrible disease if they don't.

Okay, this is exactly what we're talking about. You call is weak and unstable just because we aren't like you. You have such a patronizing, high-and-mighty know-it-all attitude toward us. Toward people you don't know. That's called having a big ego and it's extremely rude. I could care less how old you are or how many years you've been married. Your life is not the guiding light to everyone else. Your life experiences have nothing to do with ours. You do not know us, yet you act like you know everything about our lives and our personal being, and you call us weak. How do you not see the rudeness in that? You don't know what our lives are like. How do you know we're so weak? You don't know that. You don't have a clue as to the stability of our lives. You HAVE NO CLUE.  How do you know that Turk isn't the richest guy in town with the most caring and beautiful woman he's ever met for a wife? You don't know that. How do you know that Bemoreselfish isn't the manager of her place of employment pulling in a large salary and raising four children with a loving and supportive husband? You don't.

 

There are way too many people in the world out there that have totally different lifestyles than you that live wonderfully stable and happy lives. Seriously, you really need to learn to pop that bubble of yours and understand that people live differently than you do, and you have no right to call them weak just because they're different.

I think that is through fear. I probably would have thought the same way as you had I not seen that there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, i think it would be a disappointment for me to be with a penis that is not the way it should be. I guess either way it doesn't matter. I just think its crazy to circumcise based on ... what? .... appearance???? Perhaps you should have a look at what one looks like when its erect, and you might see things differently. Why would you take away a protective covering. I'd feel robbed if I grew up as a circumcised boy.

Oh, and for the husband that worries about his son being picked on, geez ... I hope his son grows up to have a strong back bone and has a sense of self that is not defined by fitting in and what idiots think in the playground

I think its bullshit.  I was pissed when I found out that ehre was nothing wrong with keeping the foreskin. I don;t think my parents should of had that right.  Given the choice, I would have never chosen to cut a piece of my penis off to make it look better.  So, if I ever have a son, I'll definitely give him the choice.

Doctors usually prefer to do it as early as possible because it's an easier proceedure when the boy is little. I'm not sure if there is an age limit on circumcision, but I don't know of many surgeons who do it at an older age. I'm sure there are though.

 

I agree though, that it's dumb to do it out of fear of appearances. If I were a guy, and my penis was uncircumcised, and someone made fun of me for that, I wouldn't care. That would be their problem. I got made fun of way too much in elementary school for what I wore, how I had my hair, etc. to bother about what people think of physical appearance anymore. I'm a very firm believer in the saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." And I'm also a firm believer in the fact that every body is different, and everyone's body grows and develops differently. (I'm a huge fan of diversity XD).

Just as you are entitled to be here and classify your opinion on pornography, so am I .  If I state something other than what you believe in, that is my opinion.  I am not forcing you to believe "as I do".  I am just as entitled to speak mine. 

 

I can also disagree with others and not take that to be a personal attack on me.  You obviously cannot.  There is nothing wrong with people debating facts or opinions.  I do speak a lot based on proven facts about pornography and it's impact on our society.  That does exist.   And it doesn't take a college professor to tell me where to find it.  It's out there.  Police records, college written documentation on this subject, doctors, and all the rest.   The internet is full of this information to examine.   There is proof.   That is not just my opinion, but the findings of many thousands.

 

On the lubricants, sorry, I didn't specify, nor was it specified about the flavored, tasteless, or other wise, had I know this was what you wanted, I would gladly have pulled up a shopping list of them too.  That information, as you know is clearly all over the internet.  

 

My point on that was terribly missed, also by you apparently.    Think about it.  I was stating that back when I was 21, actually MOST of the people I grew up with, would not have imagined needing or purchasing a lubricant for sex, at least not at that age.    Now I know perfectly well, that it's a popular thing "today", my intention of the statement was that, in the beginning of a relationship, people didn't (didn't, meaning past tense) usually require these things.     The intention of the statement was that these lubricants, tasty or not, smelly or not, are not always good for the vaginal balance.   Your human sexuality class professor (lol) likely didn't teach you on that, or educate himself very well, because that is fact, and that is what I was stating.

 

If a young woman at the age of 21 is experiencing lack of natural lubrication, I would strongly suggest she see her doctor for the reason behind this.  I would certainly not entertain coming to this or any other board to gather information about something that is going to affect my body, taste or not.

 

And why is it that when anyone that differs in opinions about pornography with those on this particular board, rather than debating this openly and maturely, those people are "forced to swallow" the greater influence of the "opinions" relayed here, rather than being able to express themselves as you do?  Please do let me know, do I have to agree with you on everything, including lubricants?

A good place to start would be to discuss this with your doctor.  But since you asked,  I will tell you about the experiences I've had with this.  I've been sexual with both uncircumcised and circumcised.  Now I am a woman and can only speak from that view.  I would NOT be with a man who is NOT circumcised if you paid me a million bucks!   I don't want to go into all the gross things about it, we can all imagine them without the gritty details.

 

First of all, I don't know where you got your information, but this has been going on since biblical days.   This area of a boys penis is done specifically at birth, (used to be on the 7th or 8th day after birth in bible days) because this area was considered not to be fully engulfed with nerve endings.  It was and is usually (even today) done so that the boy does not suffer.  Today a ring (plastic) is put on the end until healing and falls off with little incidence of pain or problems. 

 

This is for several reason, mainly sanitary reasons.  There is a number of infections for both male and females who are sexually involved with grown men.   There is a ton of bacteria that stays under the foreskin.   Also, giving your son the option later in life is doing him no favors at all.  As adults (and I do know this from my brother growing up) go through a thousand times more pain and suffering during healing than as a baby.   Also knowing how society is today, I can't imagine what the youth of today would put him through being in gym or football or boys locker room showers with other kids.   Kids are purely cruel and have no balance of understanding your  purpose in this as a parent.  They simply do not care.

 

Sexually, sorry, some of this stuff you wrote is myth.  My husband has never had any such problems being circumcized at all.   Sex is purely enjoyable to both of us.  And I've been sleeping with him for a ton of years.  Also, I can't even begin to get into oral sex on this, but take my word on it....without having to explain the details.  Please.
