There certainly are risks (mainly infection); it's a surgical procedure. Someone just posted a few days ago about how badly his circumcision went. He had a bad infection, and now needs to go back for more surgery.

How many people are cut and uncut?

I hate it when people say that it's cleaner to cut off 30% of the penis' skin. it is SOO easy to clean. (warm water, soap, finished) it a lot harder to clean under fingernails but we don't rip those off the first chance that we get. and about getting cut there are risks, infection is one, and so are skin bridges (that is where you grow skin that connects the glans and the shaft of the penis after scar tissue grows together. it makes a kind of loop or "bridge") and sometimes those who are circumcised DIE from either bleeding, "galloping gangrene", infection,or the anaesthesia used. and ALL types of surgery have risks. but the bad things about circumcision are not from the actual removal of the foreskin (in which they actually cut a vertical line down it, RIP it from the glans, and then tear/ cut if off) but appear later in life like impotency, painful erections, wound re-opening, psychology trauma resulting in elective muteness, a smaller penis, increased risk of HIV, and the foreskin has over 20,000 extra sensitive nerve endings in it and it is not just a "flap of skin" as many call it, but an important organ measuring about 15 square inches (about the same as an index or post card). Also the skin on the glans becomes less sensitive after the skin dries up and scabs over after scraping and rubbing against the inside of pants, and the ability to feel pleasure in the glans reduce greatly, while the ability to feel pain stays about the same. I am not cut and i am very, very grateful. if anyone here is thinking about cutting their son in the future, please don't, he will thank you.

of course im cut. there's noway in hell i would want to have such an ugly dick.
-
An uncut dick isn't ugly, in my opinion.
-

In reply to: There certainly are risks (mainly infection); it's a surgical procedure. Someone just posted a few days ago about how badly his circumcision went.

What I actually meant was, once you are 'successfully' circumcised, there is no risk involved with BEING circumcised.
-
The problem with the word "circumcision" is that it describes the process of surgically modifying the penis, as well as the result of the modification.

In reply to:thats cool. everyone has fetishes and i ain't gonna hold that against someone. you're trying to say me thinking an uncut dick isn't ugly is a fetish? yeah whatever..........I live in the UK where hardly anyone is cut, all i have ever experienced are uncut men, its the norm here, it isn't a fetish its my opinion.

people that live in rural area's might do incest more. it doesnt change the fact that they are doing something that is a fetish and not "just an opinon"
-
I'm cut here.
-
well I am cut here.. and I am rather shocked to see more poeple are uncut on this forum. Guess I always assumed more people were cut these days..hmmm learned something new

In reply to: people that live in rural area's might do incest more. it doesnt change the fact that they are doing something that is a fetish and not "just an opinon" Dude, buy a dictionary.

The great majority of men who are native to the U.S. are circumcised. The great majority of people from the rest of the world, except for Moslems and Jews, are uncircumcised. There are a lot of people on this forum who are not native to the U.S.To the guy who said "I'm uncut"...you and nearly 150 million other men in the U.S. Added to the billions of other men it the world, it could make for a pretty long thread.

Could be. Do you have any data to back up your non-opinion? Rural people might take it as an insult otherwise.

The people who post on this thread are self-chosen. It is not representative of the population.But while circumcision is standard procedure in the U.S., in the rest of the world it is not, outside of Moslem and Jewish populations.
-
seems to be a relationship with where people are from. A higher percentage of "cut" males are from the US than from Europe.
-
i don't no why people in Europe do not circumsise people.I'm from UK, and know only of one person who is cut, while in USA nearly everyone is cut.Just wondering, when did circumsision (sp) become popular in USA?
-
circumcision became popular in U.S.A. in the 1920s. (this may not be the exact story but it has at least some truth to it)the jews had been facing problems with the germans long before WWII and the way that the germans could tell if one was a jew or a german was to ask them to drop their pants. if they had a foreskin then they were not jewish. plenty of jews fled to america and the jewish doctors decided that they would make circumcision would become a commonly practiced medical procedure. They began telling that circumcision was "cleaner and healthier" and then cut all babies that were born. that way the germans could not tell a jew from a non jew by looking at their penis. by the 60s about 90% (or more) of men in america were cut. the numbers slowly dwindled as the thought that circumcision being healthier was found to be a myth. now the amount of men in the u.s that are circumcised are about 60% (still in the majority but going down steadily) doctors no longer suggest that circumcision is a "healthier" practice and are starting to urge parents to leave their sons intact.

im 15, and was cut at birth.

I've never heard that story about Jewish doctors. Do you have any references?
