My partner has absolutely no complaints at all. To quote him "YUM". It was so funny, because when we first started being intimate, he was always asking these embarrasing questions. LOL! The only answer I could ever give him was "I dunno, I'm not cut." LOL.

This thread got interesting with your post, innerbrat. :)

On topic... I don't really care if I was circumcised or not at birth, but now that I'm not a child uncapable of self-defense, I'm not having anybody go near my dick with sharp objects.

My cock is my personal property, and if you think you're cutting a bit off, I will seriously break your face.

That being said, the foreskin is a wonderful thing. I'm all but immune to blows to the crotch unless I'm horny, it's fun to play with when you're a kid, and apparantly is fun for my girlfriend to play with. :twisted:

***THWAP******


Anyway... I can say that SirNitram was the first uncut man I'd ever seen (and I'd seen my share). So, I couldn't help playing with it and seeing what made him react.

Since doing things like that gets me a second hour of enjoyment, I'm not going to quit anytime soon.

Circumcision was required for all male Jews:

Gen 17:10-14
10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
12 For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner-- those who are not your offspring.
13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.
14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."
(NIV)


I don't believe it is required of Christians for religious purposes. Indeed, Paul believed it was unfair to require non-Jewish Christians to be circumcised:

Acts 15:1-2
1 Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers: "Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved."
2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.
(NIV)


Peter made quite clear what he belived to be God's will on the matter:

Acts 15:5-11

5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses."
6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question.
7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.
8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith.
10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear?
11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."

My opinion has not changed since the other thread(page three).

Uncut dicks certainly look better.

They seem to be more fun than cut ones, too. :wink:

::Shrugs:: I'm cut, and I've never had a problem in my life. But then, neither have any uncut guys that I know. I suppose it IS just a religious practice, but near as I can tell it's one that's held in relatively high regard.

Speaking of penises, I need to go feed mine to my girlfriend. I'll see you all later.

And a Happy Easter to you all, religious heathens that you may be. :wink:

My mom's expressed some remorse at having it done to my brothers and I. She said that you didn't even think twice about it back then.

Anyway, I don't think circumsion should be done. After all, it's his penis and he should be able to decide what to do with it.

Interesting that you should say that -- my mother said the same of me. If my wife and I adopt a newborn, I don't see circumcising him (assuming he's a boy).

No circumcision for me or any of my progeny. I don't feel there is any reason to do it that can't be solved by proper hygiene.

Actually, I think awhile ago I read something about a circumsized person having the foreskin unexpectedly regrow on its own. It may be bullshit, but it's a scary thought..

Actually, thwe only two men I kow in RL who are clipped were so in their early teens following an infection, so yes, at times it is necessary.

That had a purpose once. It digests cellulose IIRC. It is being phased out, as they are no longer as prominent as they once were, in our ancestors.

Bloody fucking hell that's dumb. That's right folks, having your foreskin removed with no or negligable anastetic doesn't hurt!
