Koku brings up a great point- an adult male should be able to make the decision regarding their own cock. However, that opinion should not be used to paint circumcision with a broad stroke of acceptance.

My personal belief is that circumcision of defenseless infants- or children before the age of reason- is a form of child abuse regardless of the 'reason'. Unless, of course, there is a actual medical condition that requires surgical intervention.

The tragedy is that those who are circumcised before the age of reason will never know what they are missing.

So, is this smilie circumcised- or not? Anybody?

There is a gradual movement among many cut guys to go back to what they could have had. While Baopi's over-hang might be considered excessive by some, many would find it very attractive. Nevertheless, having said that, if Baopi's quite convinced he wants it cut back, a plastic surgeon (or, as was suggested before, perhaps a urologist) should be consulted.

It's funny how American men think it is normal to be circumcized. It is actually very rare, practiced mainly in the US and among Jewish people. It seems pretty clear to me that unless you have religious reasons (i.e. you are Jewish) you should leave things as nature intended. It was mainly introduced in US based on the idea that it cured masturbation.

What always really shocks me is the traditional Jewish way of circumcision which involves the Rabbi putting the baby's penis in his mouth -- really! If that doesn't scream perversion, I don't know what does ... here's an article about a Rabbi giving babies herpes! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6898403/

To look at the Jewish dogma regarding circumcision, read this rabbinical FAQ: http://judaism.about.com/library/3_askr ... cision.htm

Doesn't look like it to me.

I think an intact prepuce would both conceal the corona and produce a more pointed tip, so I vote for circumcised. But more strongly I believe the artist meant this to be ambiguous.

It sort of does and sometimes will. (Your first sentance.) So it generally has a more "tapered" look. However, even in intact boys, you can see the outline of the corona under the foreskin so... I think it is just easier to draw penises "straight" than the "details" of being circumcised. However, I still vote this "smilie" to be intact.

i was forced to be circumcised at 12 by my dad. At the time i hated him and that experience, but growing up i apreciated it, and now i want more

BTW it is now illegal to do it involuntarily in Canada to babies, as the result of the David Reimer case in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

It is not illegal to circumcise a baby in Canada. You just have to pay for it, as it is not paid for by the health plans. Female circumcision is illegal, but male is not.

The doctors still routinely do it and give all sorts of reasons for doing it. It as one person said is a cure looking for a disease. They are now touting it as a preventative for HIV

and the US NIH and religious right are gearing up to circumcise Africa. The actual amount of protection if any is very small. ie if you fuck 3 HIV infected persons a day for a year it might delay your infection by an average of 1 person.

I was only partly circumcised in that the foreskin still covers about half of the glans. For a time I thought this was how I'd been born until I enquired of my urologist and he said that, in some other countries (I was born in South Africa) and some hospitals, it was the custom to only remove as much skin as was felt necessary to allow urine to flow and not leave residue on the penis. It's a very convenient arrangement for me in that I avoid the peeled eel look and still have easy access to my glans. The skin isn't too tight, the "look" is good...If you're considering having the procedure you might ask that they do this proportional removal. If it's not what you want, you can have the rest removed.

I was circumcised at age 30,and I definitly would not want to be like the way I was when I was born again.Many people call themselves experts on this,but the only expert is a person who was circed as an adult after being married for some time.I was married for 8 years.Most people who complain were circed as a baby or not circed at all,so they do not know the difference.Another expert is a woman who has had the same man both ways.Anyone else does not know what whey are talking about.

My wife says it depends on what you are planning to do with it.To play with, maybe having a skin is better,but to do it, circed is definitly better.

I am a male of 75 years and married to the same woman 51years

I should have mentioned this before as I do get some static about my opinions.Some of the folks out there do not agree with my thoughts.

I have a euro cut so it is not a tight cut I have extra skin, I wonder what it must be like to be cut very tightly, guess it is sometihng that is not done so often now.

with the new cervical cancer vaccine..circ for that reason is mute

everyone has different anatomy and nerve endings

i would never give up my foreskin

it has given me so much enjoyment ..even after being castrated...i have never indulged into oral sex..with a foreskin there is no need

i was circumcised at age 12 on my aunts advise she was married to a american soldier based at that time near us in scotland,their 3 boys were all circumcised as most americans where,i had no chioce it was digust in front of me my penis was handled by aunt and mother pulling skin back and them agreeing it looked better and cleaner..anyway it was done i already had a very small penis now it looked micro not more than 1 inch later when i managed a erection got to 3 inches(its now 4.5")...now in scotland few wher circumcised me being only one in whole school and it being tiny everone found out i was named "tinywinkie" i was made show it to girls as i was told to say over and over as they laughed "im richard with the tiny skinleess winkie" must have been my destiny even then i enjoyed the humiliation although not advancing my sex life in later years at school i was still made to show it now wankig for their amusment....20 years on i love been humiliated my wife encourages her friends,work mates 5 sisters to make remarks about my "tiny winkie" as she knows ill wank soon as i can...iv been asured that foreskined is better my wife janice never goes back on that i think myself a foreskins more manly..real cock...but im happy with my skinleess winkie it suits my pathetic excuse for a man siisy lifstlye../..Rachel

Having the odor of smigma makes a man. I was tightly circumcized, I can not have smigma, therefore I will never be a man.

I cannot see anyone wanting to be circumcised. A penis w/o adequate foreskin just isn't as much fun, I do think; more difficult to manipulate.

Is this not about choice?

It really is not very difficult to sneak up on a newborn, strap him down and then remove part of his penis. And, what about the accidental slippage of the knife and more is taken than was intended? While this may be what some would want, most of the 'victims' don't.

I rather like the foreskin to remain where it started out, still attached. To me it is beautiful and much more sexy then a tightly circ'd dick.

Shouldn't the person wearing the penis make the decision about circumcision or penectomy? I believe so. Only adults giving consent should have any part or all of their genitals removed.

My mom says the people at the hospital tried to get me circumcized over and over depsite her firm stand that I not be circumcized.

'Time for the Circ!' -- 'what, what? I already said no! A baby is born perfect as it is!'

I wish I wasn't circumcised. I keep hearing about men who lost 90% of their sensitivity because of it. Some men get more nerve damage than others, and I think I am one of them. I have almost no feeling at the tip, the same place one uncircumcised man told me he was WAY more sensitive at. I know when in a woman, I can never orgasm because I just don't feel anything.

It's strictly a man's issue. Unless they give a lot of oral sex, the women really don't care. A woman, that I know personally, who stopped counting her lovers at 200 told me that she prefers circumcised men for oral sex, but that condom or bareback she can't tell the difference with it inside her. If a man is big enough, (About 5" X 1-1/8" is the minimum.) lasts long enough, and uses a position that hits the "G" spot she orgasms easily. While she really enjoys sex just for itself, according to her, most women have a frequency and intensity of orgasm is directly proportional to the thickness of their man's wallet, not anything to do with his penis, circumcised or not. She also maintains that the only thing that most women care about a man's orgasm is that he has them with her so he will stick around.

That's not my cynicism, just quoting a woman who was telling it as she sees it.

I Cor 6:9,10 Clearly says that all effiminate as going to spend eternity in hell. Doesn't matter if you are a Christian or not.. If you are effiminate your going to hell and I am too. Big deal. Scripture is sure.

Spend less time reading 'scripture', and more time painting your toenails -- a sure recipe for absolution.

You are not alone on this one.
