"In the past 15 years, studies in Africa have found that circumcision lowers men's risk of being infected with HIV during heterosexual intercourse by 50 to 60 percent. Being circumcised also reduces men's risk of infection with the herpes virus and human papillomavirus." -CDC

Then there's that.

Or this.

That is Flat Out A Total Bunch Of BS!!!

Question: if you have an uncut cock have you ever had any issues from the person you want to have sex with? In other words, when you were dating around a lot, did you find some girls reacted negatively when they saw your uncut cock for the first time? like didn't want to suck it? said it looked "weird"?

I'm cut but I have a couple of friends who are uncut and they have had the opposite reaction. They have had women ask to see their uncut cock because they were curious and had never seen one in person. Most women (and I suppose some men) don't realize you can pull the foreskin back. Uncut is the best of both worlds.

I'm not saying that circumcised penises are superior. I'm just saying that women prefer them in America. But, it doesn't really matter. Women barely care about how our wangs look.

I'm circumstanced. I know nothing different. I think most men of my age were cut as a matter of routine but things have changed. When my son was born it wasn't even mentioned. I think that as we are seeing a move against FGM so we might see the same against male mutilation, but there will be resistance from a number of religions. Whether or not it's healthier the balance of probability is on being cut but if that is better no doubt evolution will one day dispense with the foreskin... or maybe not

Fair enough question. Answer: NO. I have never had any issues with any female I have dated or had casual sex with in the nearly 40 years I have been sexually active. Because I am in the United States I have had many that were a bit surprised by my having a foreskin but every single one of them took the time to get familiar with it and in the end thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, many said they could feel my foreskin sliding, or rolling, back and forth inside them and it added greatly to the overall pleasure. Not one ever said it was "weird" or refused to suck it. On the contrary, they were fascinated by it and really got into playing with it.
I have never had a sexual partner experience any sort of infections or UTI's and I have never experienced any either, as for smegma I have not had any of that because I was taught good hygiene as a child.
When I was born the rate of RIC, Routine Infant Circumcision was around 95%+ but now the latest survey reports are saying the rate of RIC is below 50% and one report recently said it was less than 40%. This just goes to show that parents are now realizing how unnecessary it is and how important it is to leave well enough alone the way nature intended.
I wonder what all those females people are saying prefer circumised would say if you suggested that they undergo Female Circumcision, which is now outlawed world wide.

Yes, circumcision reduces HIV but you have to realize these studies were done in Africa where there is an extremely high persistence of HIV and very low hygiene. These studies shouldn't be applied to developed nations.

Attraction by women I also only memetically relevant. Obviously the highest occurrence will be the norm and thus be most attractive.

Personally I find cut penises highly unattractive. The scar tissue, deformation, keratinisation, and meatal stenosis cant rationally be described as more attractive as plain ol' skin.

Smegma itself is a kind if anti microbial detergent care of the oils secreted by the mucus membrane of the foreskin. Personally I find smegma horrible and an indication of poor hygiene but it does have its purpose.

I find RIC detestable. It's mutilation AND plastic surgery on an innocent NON CONSENTING boy and is a human rights violation. Males can have it done as an adult if they feel so strongly about it, I don't care.

There are also no medical reasons for it, including phimosis. If you've had your son circumcised in spite of all the information available you are every kind of a monster.

Cutting off an infants foreskin, often without anesthetic is a barbaric practice. Womens circumcision is outlawed shouldnt male circumcision be treated the same Another instance wwhere there is one standard for men and another for women. Outlaw mens circumcision !!!!

"There are also no medical reasons for it, including phimosis. If you've had your son circumcised in spite of all the information available you are every kind of a monster."

Wrong on the medical reason. Look it up on the CDC and NIH websites. Verified in independent studies as far back as 2011. Case closed. As for the monster part, I think my mom had it right. Rather prescient for the early 50's, N'est ce pas? And, she either loved my dads cock the way it was or, hated it. Moms decide. Think about it.

Then go to the article at the CDC website and read it yourself. Where do you think I found it?

I already addressed this. These studies are only recommended for HIV endemic areas of Africa. Cherry picking studies is just as ignorant as not reading them at all. As for "moms decide", nope, both parents need to sign off. At least where I'm from. You've completely missed the point again. You're as bad a philosopher as you are a scientist.

i'm an aussie woman and i prefer my men uncut....more to play with

Parents don't necessarily make the choice. My father was uncut and wanted me left intact as he was. No one ever asked my parents, and my parents never signed any type of consent form. According to the hospital records, the unethical doctor "ordered" that I be circumcised immediately in the delivery room. My parents had absolutely no say in the matter.

Routine infant circumcision is so popular in the US, because it's easy money for the doctors and the hospitals. When I looked into it about 12 years ago, the cost in my city was about $650. Greed wins out.
