[Poll #271183]





So, I was reading the section on foreskins in The X-Rated Bible, and I once again came to the same place on this issue, which I will attempt to describe in as sane of bullets as possible.
  • I don't care that I don't have mine anymore
    • However, I cannot help but be curious about what it would have been like if I had not been cut
      • I have to wonder what my sex life would be like with a foreskin
    • But, to hear the author of this book to talk about it (and most foreskinned males as well), it would seem like I'm missing something vital and mind-blowing.
      • I am somewhat skeptical that it is that much better with one.
      • He is also quite biased, as a gay former divinity student
  • However, this brings me to an interesting problem: If/when I have a son, what would I do?
    • Not cutting results in:
      • questions I am not prepared to answer
      • more sensation
      • less cruelty
      • not conforming to a tradition that I, frankly, put no faith in
    • Cutting results in:
      • conformity
      • cleanliness? not really, but that's what everyone says, right? :-P
      • one less thing to deal with if he wants to convert to Judiaism later in life
In short, I spent an entirely too long period of time thinking about my cock.

I "finished" Rez. No, the game's not over. I didn't succeed in saving the AI, and was killed in the last boss (after the four pre-last bosses). I need to delve back into Area 5 and finish it successfully. The whole concept of the game seems to change in the last Area, bringing up a bunch of nice things, and an awesome song called "Fear" with the chorus "Fear is the mind-killer" that comes up when you kill certain bad guys. So I got to the end, the credits rolled, but I did not accomplish my mission.

i think the foreskin is nasty. all this crap gets stuck in between the penis and the foreskin. ew ew ew.

and a cut penis is much more aesthetically pleasing than a uncut one.

nothing wrong with thinking about your cock.

i often lament about what would life be like if i didn't have boobs, on if i had smaller boobs, and why the hell we have boobs. i think the world would be much more efficient without boobs, since they serve no purpose other than to provide milk for your offspring.

i'd gladly do without boobs, thank you very much. if i have to have a mastectomy, i would be all for it. good riddance boobs.

as for the pipe thing, i don't think you remember my joke about the screws back from two years ago?


so max and i went to home depot today. while we were there, we were looking at the pipes. he picked up a male screw, and i picked up a female screw. and we were looking at them and wondering about why they called it a female and a male screw, since they are inanimate objects.

allison: hmm, i wonder why it's called a female screw
max: i don't know
allison: let's find out

allison and max attempt to figure out how the two screws go together. after much fiddling with it, they finally get the two pieces together

allison: now that's what i call a "good screw".



needless to say, that didn't lead to any screwing later that night, but the tension was there.

nothing wrong with thinking about the possibilities of life, and the questions that we have.


and as for the danger question, you aren't dangerous at all, at least, i dont think so. we were CPR/First aid partners. I know that you know how to save my life (or anybody elses), if it ever came to that point. :-) Or is there something about you that we should be aware of?

Personally, I don't think foreskin is gross but kind of funny lookin'. It's fun to play with. Rolls up. Rolls down. Rolls up. Rolls Do--and then the guy yells at me to quit it 'cause it's sensitive. The boys I've been with that have their foreskin say they love it, but I think it's a novelty and not much else.

I like circumcised guys better because then tend to feel harder, being the fan of penetration that I am. Of course this is my experience, it's not based on some giant Kinsey (http://www.indiana.edu/~kinsey/index.html) survey. I know foreskin gives a mechanical advantage during sex when it acts a sheath lessening negative friction between the vaginal walls and the head; it's just to me feel that circumcised penises feel firmer, more defined and, in my opinion, better. Rather have a cut boy than a flesh slinky.

I think if I ever had boy I probably wouldn't want him circumcised. I mean there are purposes for the foreskin. It's not vestigial appendage to my knowledge. Why would I give my kid an optional procedure cutting off something that's supposed to be there? Hopefully though I wouldn't have to be the one to remind him to clean under his foreskin. About conformity though, I'm sure when I'm ready to have kids public opinion will have had plenty of time to change.

There is nothing wrong with you thinking about your cock too much. I, however, should probably stop.

please please please if you ever have a son don't get him circumcised.
female circumcision is illegal, and it should be on both ends.

and in response to people who think uncircumcised penii are dirty: only those guys that are nasty enough not to wash. geez.

and it doesn't look weird either.

so there.
