Thoughts on circumcision?

[Swan]

My balls are itchy.



Just throwing that out there

Hey, I appreciate everyone's honesty. Even TheSlyMoogle's honesty is a welcome addition to this thread. Come on, we're all mature we can have a serious convo

Haha, thank you? Just trying to keep things interesting...besides I think BaB gets sick of me exclusively bothering him on AIM.

Girls love it because I can go for so long, but it's really very frustrating and I'm fed up with it already at 23.

So yeah, regardless of the moral implications and such, I'm against it. It might take more work to maintain and your partner might prefer it cut, but ultimately I think circumcision is a bad thing.

I realize, though, that I have a semi-unique experience and that biases me quite a bit.

I will say, to reassure you, that not all men orgasm every time they have sex. I think this is a common misconception, especially amongst the younger crowd. I'd say there is nothing wrong if you have sex and don't orgasm, as long as you still are having fun and your partner is too. I know how the sensitivity thing goes. Sometimes I just don't feel much and I can last for extended periods of time but it makes reaching orgasm in certain positions incredibly difficult. It sounds like you have a pretty good grasp on your situation but you could try not masturbating a day or two before sex, and you can try achieving orgasm by yourself in positions you struggle with during sex. That's my best advice.

We have quite the melting pot of members at GT...no pun intended.

It has to potential to cause another problem too. Girls might start to think that they're not sexy to you anymore if you don't get off while having sex with them, but there's not much you can do if they're insecure about it.

Don't quote me on this, but I think that not being able to get off (Within reasonable "normal" time frame) is a type of E.D.

This is true. The problem becomes cyclical in nature too. The girl expects the guy to orgasm, the guy can't orgasm and feels bad, it gets to his head and becomes more difficult for him to orgasm...etc.

I think E.D. has more to do with not being able to get or sustain an erection. Not being able to orgasm is probably along the lines of some sort of orgasm disorder. If you're harder than Superman but you can't orgasm you don't have E.D. But don't quote me on that either, I'm not a sexual dysfunction pro.

The DSM-IV (book of psych disorders) has a thing for male orgasmic disorder (also know as "retarded ejaculation"). But that appears to look more at psychological effects. Dunno what someone would say just looking the physical aspect of the disorder.

I cannot explain how hard I am laughing at the fact there is something called "retarded ejaculation."

Jesus, so many jokes.

Ahem... right. On a more serious note.

Guys if you ever suffer from something like this. And you will. Lots of people get it or have had it from time to time. Dont worry. S'all good. There is a way to stop the girl feeling bad about it. Get your tounge going... I dont have to tell you where the clit is do I? Be a pleasure giver. And I'll tell you what, when she sprays all in your face she will forget that you were getting nowhere with your cock.

Later on play around, have a wank, try and get things going again. Try talking to your partner about it. If you have the right kind of person in your life they will help you through it. You might even get some good head in the process.

Since everyone has been so upfront I'll have some balls and say I have not been snipped and I am thankful for it. I have quite a sensitive nob for it. My older brother on the other hand says he does not have as much sensitivity as he remembers although he had the snip at a young age, this was for some medical reason or another. He also reckons it makes it look bigger when flaccid.

My oldest brother had it done for religious reasons I believe. He has or will not discuss his views on it. Personally (and in the case of my younger broher) the reason I was never snipped is in it's own way, because of religion. My Fathers side of the family is Church Of England and my Mothers is Roman Catholic. This caused problems in the family and my parents decided that I should be allowed to make my own decisions on such things as I saw fit and when the time came.

Now we need more jokes and things to poke fun at.

Yeah that's when it shoots out and hits you in the eye

[BlueFire]

Let's just turn this into a casual penis chat thread.


I'm a victim of snipping, btw.. but I don't really care either way. If I have kids, I probably won't opt for circumcision. Looks too painful.

I will probably have it done to my children out of spite

You two make it sound like it was this awful thing.
It can't be that bad?

It can't be that great though, I don't see uncircumcised adults jumping up to get a part of their penis chopped off.

[Typhoid]

I don't remember being circumcised.
I am happy it was done.
Everyone wins.
