Maybe you should check out what it looks like when the remove the foreskin that covers a woman's clit. I must say, I wasn't to thrilled with 'seeing it all'. I'd say it's rather sexist to promote trimming male babies, yet outlaw it on females.

What if people went around cutting off pinky toes because it 'looks better'? How would feel to walk around with 4 toes knowing you should 5? You can always cut your own toe off, but have fun trying to regrow.

I can't see myself getting physical with a guy who isn't circumsized- yuck!
In my opinion, if you are going to base your relationship with a man based on his penis, he deserves better than you. Lucky him.

Well...read a couple pages of this thread and either you're for it or against it. There is definitely passion when discussing this issue. I have two boys. The first was circumcised; the second not. With my second son the stories of looking like the other boys and getting HIV, infections, etc... wore on me. I felt I didn't have the right to cut off part of my son's penis whether it was skin or not. If he doesn't want it then let him cut if off when he's old enough. He's 14 now and says I'm nuts for even suggesting it (he likes his penis just like it is). I

When I went to school to get my degree in the ******* ** *******, I was required to watch 2 circs (there are 2 ways to cut the skin off). I tell you though the babies were supposedly given some type of topical, they screamed with an urgency that still rings through my ears some nights.

Change is scary. I know the people in favor are set in their thinking. That's too bad though. To be so stubborn as to not see how dangerous it is to just cut off body parts with such conviction. First it was a religious thing, then it was a look like dad thing, then it's everyone does it, then it was infection thing.

If you want the procedure you had better do it soon. Many health insurance companies are already dropping it as a covered procedure.

I have no stake in the debate as I have the scar for proof but after observation have been asked if I was cut. I have had an occasion or two where I might have preferred the extra skin but generally I'm quite satisfied with current efficiencies.

I guess it won't be long after insurance bails that circumcision will become an episode on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit...

I have over the many years noticed a difference in personal appearance between men who are cut and uncut. Cut guys may appear more detailed in their attire and persona. Cut guys appear more casual.

I say leave them as God made them, I don't believe circumcision is necessary. The foreskin makes the area more sensitive because it's not rubbing against the clothing like it is when men are circumcised, I say leave them uncut.

Some males do naturally have more foreskin than others. If the foreskin is large enough that it "hangs" off the penis, I can see where this could get in the way when urinating.

This remind me of the shaving hair on our bodies thread. I said God gave us hair on our body for some reason and yet many people think they need to shave it all off.

I had a friend many years ago who had a uncircumsized son that was about 5. He was at an age where he bathed himself. Well he was not clean that area and got a bad infection and the foreskin began attaching itself to his penis. It took 3 adults to hold him down to put medicine on it each day.

I can say my husband is not circumcised and I have no problem with it. He is clean about it (washes under it) and I've never had issues with infections on my end from it.hes not had any so far either ,we r 30. I've never experienced both ends of the spectrum ( he's the only man I've ever been with going on 13 years! I feel old lol) but I cant see a reason so far that he'd need to have it cut for any reason. I have to be honest I think I'd be a little weirded out if I was with a man who was cut, kinda like a "wait where's the rest of it" thought for a moment
