The negative stigma towards uncircumcised penises?

[Cat]

What's up with it? I've noticed that a lot of people look down on uncircumcised people -- epsecially women.

My last girlfriend didn't know what one was (and she had been with 6 other guys before me; yes, I'm uncircumcised). She told me, after I told her (which I was nervous about), that she asked her mom for advice on the matter... and the "advice" she gave her was some absurd stuff; tales about "stinky" dicks in the army, and other weird nonsense.

I don't get it.

well in america, more people are circumsized at birth (or soon after if parents pratice Judism) so not many girls see uncircumsized penises. i never saw one till i got interested in TS porn myself. My current girl also never saw an uncircumsized penis, and asked me what one looked like. in my mind the negative stigma comes from the bibles portrayal of uncircumsized vs. cricumsized.

If not cleaned properly, one can develop the dreaded "fromunda cheese".

Related Note: On a recent episode of Talking Sex feat Sue Johanson (a television show about Sex here in the US hosted by an old lady), a 22 year old male caller had a question regarding oral sex. He wanted his girlfriend to perform it and the problem was she said he smelled horrible down there. He's tried soap, body wash, etc but no matter what product he used, she continued to complain about a stench.

Sue Johanson asked him: Are you circumsized?
Caller: No.
Sue Johanson: When you pull back your foreskin, how well are you cleaning your penis?
Caller: Excuse me?
Sue Johanson: (repeats question)
Caller: What exactly do you mean pulling back the foreskin?
Sue Johanson: (explains what the foreskin is)
Caller: You mean that skin can be pulled back?????


I nearly spat out my beer watching this exchange.

Just wash it down there and all is fine.

and I think circumsizion at birth is not a good thing.....if a person wants to do it at a later age, by all means, go ahead.

but I've seen a baby getting circumsized, ..........it looked like some crazed Nazi torture.....that kid was screaming his lungs out......and later seeing that bloody gauze was like....."If I have a kid, I am NOT letting them do this to my son." Plus loss of sensation could fuck up his sex life, I don't want to see that either.

Also, when I was born, the doctors were gonna have me circusized....even though my folks did not want it....my mom, who just went through 20 hours of labor just to pass my out of an orrafice 50 times smaller than the size of me comming out ( I was 9 pounds, 4 ounces ), pretty much had to stop em.

All the stigma is just something to make the religious people feel better about themselves, being closer to god or whatever. that foreskin's there for a reason, so I am not getting my snipped

circumscision is a bizarre ritual performed on baby males that cuts off part of their dicks and curtails sexual enjoyment forever.

thankfully, it is no longer routine in the USA but it still part of the Jewish faith. It's too bad no one can give back to me what was taken when I was 4 days old.

Flabby I think it's still routine most places in USA.

I'm circumcised - was one of the only people in my school of 1500 (no Jews, 1 adopted Black and 2 Chinese whose parents owned the local takeway) which was embarressing - I was done at 8 because my foreskin was too tight, my Dad (what a guy) actually was done at the same time (3 as he thought it would cause an issue with his son growing up differently to him.
I've never ever had a problem with sensitivity, I love how superclean it is (I've seen more penises than most!) and never had a problem with someone giving me blowjobs.

However, I won't have my son circumcised as I do think it's an out of date and idiotic ritual unless there is a medical reason.

The negative stigma towards uncircumcised penises?.

I think you misspelled "smegma".



PS negative stigma is repetitively redundant.

[MacShreach]

What's the name of that condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back? .

Phimosis. Not very common in the wst now as boy babies are routinely checked soon after birth and if the foreskin is too tight, the opening is enlarged ( Freeze spray. Scissors. Snip.)

On the evidence I've seen it's very common in Asia.

Mmm... nope. "Negative stigma" isn't "repetitively reduntant" (much like the term "repetitively redunant, in itself) -- A mark or characteristic indicative of a history of a disease or abnormality.

I asked why people view uncircumcised penis as an abnormality in our society -- a very negative one, which is ironic, as it is regarded (and is) natural.

I wasn't talking about "smegma", or dick cheese; if I was, my oringinal post sure as shit had nothing to do with smegma.


P.S., thanks for attempting to thread crap; You're not an intellect.

Time to repeat that ESL class.
