If there is a hard object even near my groin it starts to hurt, let alone being cut there. I imagine a baby would be more sensative!

I'm cut, and I flat out resent the fact that it was done to me without my permission. Its my fucking body dammit! Let it be my own choice! :evil:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

One of my friends who was circumcised because of an infection at ~13, had, until recently, never cum inside a woman. Bollocks does it not affect sensitivity.

So, what you're saying is..

1. It hurts like hell (babys scream, grown men balk at the very thought of having it done later in life, particularly with NO anesthetic)

2. It causes a permanent reduction in sensation (to save blowing your head off I suppose, although you amputees will be none the wiser having never known any better)

3. It has been known to go horribly wrong (unneccessary surgery)

4. On the plus side, gay men find it nicer looking(fine if you're gay)

Well, I think after weighing up the pros and cons I'll be sticking with my au-natural knob, thank you very much. I'm not in any way religious and I think the vast numbers of men who dont have their dick cropped every year speaks volumes as well. If it was in any way neccessary or fun then we'd all be queing up to have it done, rather than relying on that old religious practice of 'get 'em while they're young' which has served various religions in various ways for millennia.

That may not be necessarily true in general. My partner finds the "unclipped" appearance rather intriguing and sexy. Many gay/str8 men find unclipped personally appealing. To me, either way has it’s wonderful aesthetic value. :)

I repeat myself, but thusly: You can bring sharp steel close to my penis only after you have used said steel to slice off my arms and legs, so that I cannot fight you off.

That said, at the heart of it, mutilation for any reason is counter-productive. I don't even like the thought of getting things pierced, for that matter, mainly because I adhere to the notion that I should try to go through my life withOUT getting unnatural holes put in my body. And if a metal object DOES make a hole anywhere in my flesh, I will do what sensible people do, that is clamp a bandaid on it, not stick ANOTHER peice of metal in there to keep the wound as a momento. (I have no clue how this became a piercing rant).
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.

To quote someone I knew from sword fighting....
"I've spent all this time learning how not to get sharp metal things put through me, why would I pay to have it done now?"

As for the issue at hand....keep sharp objects the hell away from there.

I know a few guys with that particular piercing....then again I also know a lass who got a rather incompetent friend to give her a piercing...rather than piercing her clitoral hood as she'd wanted he put the needle through her clit itself....IIRC the clit has more than 16x the concentration of nerves......that's got to hurt.....

1) A Prince Albert or actually through the penis itself?

2) OUCH!!!!!!! although the hood piercing apparently increases sensivity in a GOOD way

I know a guy that had that done. You should see his face cringe everytime he gets an erection and it gets stuck his hair. :P I've never seen anyone run so fast to the nearest bathroom when that happens. ;)

This thread was a riot the last time it was posted.

I am snipped, but if I have boys, they shall not be
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."
