Really why have we made being circumcised or not a big deal. I have lived with it for 19 years and never once have I had any problems with it. Not with woman not with myself. Hell woman that I have dated have liked it more. Feels better for them inside and makes it easier for them to give me a hand job. So I am just really confused on why we have made it seem like it is a bad thing if you werent circumcised? Someone has to have an answer? I am just sick of all this stuff that it is a bad thing if you werent.

Why is it Such a Big Deal

There's nothing wrong with being uncircumcised. You do it because you're Moslem, Jewish, or American. It's becoming more popular in parts of Africa for other reasons.If you go to most parts of the world, being uncircumcised is not considered weird, since the vast majority of people (outside of the Middle East and the U.S.) are intact.

I dont know why it is suck a big deal. I dont have a problem with not being. I dont know why everone else does?
-
It's an issue for those peope who have never known anything except being circumcised. When you have several generations and everyone else around you circumcised, an intact, natural guy seems weird, gross, different.

As sdp said, it's just something that most people in the U.S. are not used to. For example, if you're a guy and you let your hair grow long before the late 60's, you'd have gotten a chilly reception from a lot of people. (Ironically, Jesus is usually portrayed with long hair. I wonder if he was circumcised. I suspect he was.)

I do believe I've heard people say that in the bible it said Jesus is cut. I'm too lazy to check myself, but if it does indeed say that, then thats were alot of the christians may attempt to get their reasoning for circumsision from.
-
Jesus was cut becasue he was a Jew. That wasn't the reason circumcision started in America.
-
In the church calendar, Jesus' circumcision gets a feast day on January 1 (the eighth day from Christmas). The coincidence of New Year tends to overshadow the celebrations.

Why is circumcision so prevalent in America? It doesn't seem to be the same way where I live in Canada... everyone I know is "in tact".

The second page of this 1998 article from Salon explains it well: Circumcision in America.As so many things do, it has something to do with masturbation.Here's a footnoted 1994 article from the Journal of Social History that supports the Salon article: From Ritual to Science: The Medical Transformation of Circumcision in America.There's some guy around here who thinks that the pushing of circumcision on the U.S. was a Jewish doctor's conspriacy, but he can't produce a shred of evidence to support the idea. It is nonsense.

Pretty simple reason really, if you are uncircumsized and all is well, there is no issue. If you are uncircumsized and have health issues, this forum is really great for assistance. The issue above all else is, because the majority of men or circumsized (although this is thankfully changing!) there is very little information out there on keeping an uncircumsized penis healthy. I for one could have benefited from this information 15 years ago, I'm just glad I have it now!
