Are you circumcised, yes or no, and are you for, or against it as a cultural norm?

... I don't know how to explain the way it looks uncircumcised but it I guess it kinda resembles a slug?

Maybe! But this one looks more circumcised to me.

I voted no, because having a foreskin is clearly better then not having one. It's also a Middle-Eastern tradition, so it shouldn't be used on Europeans.

For, for the same reasons as Gooding, also it's a mark of being of a civilized people and one of the things that separates whites (most of which are circumcised) as opposed to blacks and hispanics which tend not to be.

If you're circumcized as well, I recommend moisturizing the tip to cut down on the damage done to it from rubbing the inside fabric of your pants. Makes a world of difference.

Or just wear underwear?

Hmm ... a few things here:

How does circumcision make you civilized?

Are most whites circumcised? I think not. Most in North America probably are, but most in Europe, Australia and South Africa (okay there are not too many there) are not.

Huh? What's that?

Naw seriously though, there's still rubbage there too.

Only in America. In Europe circumcision on whites is only done for medical reasons . Non circumcision is the norm here.

That may be the case in the U.S., but certainly not in Europe. In Europe only Jews are circumcised, while European goy boys's junk is uncut as God intended it to be.

Apropos of nothing: I never wear underwear, not even in winter, and wear my jeans until they can stand up on their own.

I oppose circumcision, I think it is plain mutilation if done without a valid medical reason. Also, it certainly isn't European tradition.

It would depend when you're talking about. Nowadays it's not the norm because we're well educated enough on hygienic standards.

I have two sons, one who is and one who isn't. With my first born, I was going through a lot after the birth and I remembered a horror story about how my ex brother in law had to have his foreskin removed when he was a teenager - because it became infected. He didn't clean himself properly IMO. I thought at the time, better now than later - until I heard my 10 day old son cry and I thought "WTF have I done?"

The procedure itself was to attach a ring around the foreskin and it fell off after a few days. He doesn't complain of discomfort and he wears cotton underpants - at least your skin can breathe through that.

When my second son was born, I didn't even bother telling anybody what I decided on. The opinion is split in my family and in the humid Aussie climate you could be forgiven for believing that circumcision is the right thing to do. I went against it because of how I felt after my first born. I regret it, but he seems to be fine and none the worse for it. Unless there is a medical reason for the need to remove it, I voted no. The foreskin is its own natural protector, and with good hygienic practises, there is no reason why it should ever be removed.
