Wheres my foreskin?

[The Baroness]

There is actually a men's group that gets together and whines about being robbed of their foreskins and how awful their parents were to mutilate them like this.

Now personally Ive never had a foreskin(my own anyways),however ,I say shutup and get on with it........If thats your biggest problem in life,you're doing well.

A few other things i found during my research.

There are law suits pending in US Supreme Court. Its an issue that deals with the rights of infants and how know one has the right to preform non medical surgery without the consent of the patient.
It seems to be a very gray area, but if lawyers can win judgement against the Tobacco giants than i think they will see things in there favour....eventually. Time will tell how it plays out.

There are procedures that restores a mans foreskin. Some require surgery some do not. --- Kev

A good friend and his wife just had a baby boy yesterday. Well actually his wife had the baby...he just watched.

They didn't even ask if they wanted him circumcised.

I think it's over there, under the coffee table. You really gotta invest in a vacuum cleaner, dude.

First, the joke:

Two guys are standing next to each other at the urinal. One guy says: "Excuse me, buddy, but I couldn't help noticing that you're circumcised. I'll bet that must have hurt". The other guy says: "Well, I was only eight days old when they did it, so I don't remember the pain, but I know I didn't walk for a year after".

Now, the serious:

There have been medical studies which have found that the rates of cervical and uterine cancers and genital warts are higher among women who's spouses are uncurcumcised, when compared with the rates for women of similar age who were married to circumcised men. Many bacteria and virii find smegma, [got 23 points for it once in a game of Scrabble], an ideal breeding ground. There's a lot less work involved in keeping a cut dick sanitary.

Happily cut.

Do what i did do a search for yourself. Like many topics discussed on these boards the "i know everything poster" is more than willing to share what they don't know. I don't have any regrets about being circumcised because i never had the option.

bob....... everything i read contradicts what you think you know. Whether you are of Christen belief or an evolutionist. We were meant to be intact. You don't wash under your armpits you are going to stink.......you don't focus on oral hygiene your breath will stink.....make it a habit of eating the wrong foods your ass will stink. For those that don't wash there schlong that will stink too. Cleanliness is next to Godlessness. --- Kev

Kev - As it so happens, my father was uncut and my mother died of uterine cancer at age 53. I don't have the spare time to dig up the sources I've read on this subject, but the initial studies were done in the 1970's, and were replicated recently, with little said on the matter in between. I don't think you'll find any studies that contradict what I said, ie: That genetal warts and cancer rates are higher among the spouses of circumcised men.

I don't advocate circumcision just to save time in the bathtub, but it does serve an hygienic purpose, especially in geographical areas where fresh water for bathing may be at a premium. Bacteria on the human body thrive in moist, warm, places, like the eyes, mouth, armpits, soles of the feet, rectum, vagina, and beneath the foreskin. When it comes to unprotected sex, your own genital hygiene is really only as good as the other person's.

Aurora - although medical and scientific data can make a conclusion today it does not mean that in the future with new findings and discoveries that the conclusion is no longer valid.

The medical/scientific community is often swayed too easily by $$$money$$$. Research is rarely 100% objective as there is usually an interested group paying for the research.

I don't want to move this thread off topic but Western medicine focuses primarily on "surgery" and "medication". Preventative medicine is rarely practiced. Whole person/health as practiced in Eastern medicine is only slowly making ground in the Western world.

keratinization

Please feel free to read the following thread on this subject:

Wow, that was a trip down memory lane Al Cohol. Paul`s sooooo sexy when he takes a stand on things and lets his feminine side show ... and, I miss Triple V

Anyway, one of my original concerns was desensitisation and scarring due to the head being exposed. It seems obvious to me that the skin in fact does serve some function, which is most likely a form of protection and to keep the head "moist". I did a quick search and came up with this :

keratinization

More of this here, under the "triple whammy", along with some other interesting facts about the "foreskins" role:

http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/garcia/

Unfortunately most sites on the subject are bias in one direction or the other, but I`m sure there is truth on both sides.

On a couple of points; I would think, if anything, men that are not circumcised would generally be more concerned with hygiene, especially before any interaction with a female. FWIW, schmegma is only dried skin. I know that doesn`t help much, but I think there`s a misconception out there.

I think it`s pretty insensitive to trivialise anyone`s feelings over having been circumcised. Hypothetically speaking, how would women like it if they had their clit hoods removed as a fairly accepted and standard procedure. I know it`s different in both a medical and societies view. However, I think you get my point that it would be similar in the fact that it was done at an age when you had no say in the matter and understanding of whatever the consequences may be. Among them being, possibly affecting sexual functions, that could hamper your sex life. Obviously our sex lives are an important part of our existence or we wouldn`t be on this board ...

PS As for the possible psychological effects, like most things psychological, the effects would not be easily determined, due to the fact that the operation was performed very early on in life. If, in fact, there are any long term psychological effects individuals would most likely not be aware of them.

Angel Aurora......

Fair enough. You make valid points of patients having various body parts removed.....tonsils, wisdom teeth, appendix....but the removal of these parts is for "MEDICAL REASONS." Being imperfect man has to help out nature from time to time. The removal of foreskin in infants is "NOT MEDICAL" and thats the difference.

We can debate that its better to lop of the skin in infants now for fear that in the future there could be problems, but there is no basis or any medical evidence to support that.

Most European men are not circumcised its now the USA that still hold onto this practise. Even in Canada the practise has been dropped. If the medical profession saw it necessary to maintain this practise for health reasons i am sure this procedure would still be going on. --- Kev

For all of those who have been asking the question, "Where's my foreskin?", you are advised to check the TERB Lost and Found Dept. Fred and Sheik have a big boxful of them that have been found over the past year lying around the TERB building. Many of them have gone unclaimed and are taking up valuable storage space. If you think yours might be there, please see Fred or Sheik today. Those still remaining unclaimed by the beginning of winter will be donated to a Toronto homeless shelter to be used in the making of quilted blankets and soup. Thanks for your cooperation on this matter.

(PS: Proof of individual ownership is not mandatory, but only one per customer please. Apparently Rusty had tried to claim several of them and it was found out later that he was planning to re-wallpaper his basement apartment with them.)

Lost-but not found..

Beaver--Mine is not in there--It's rubbed off in my right hand.

Life is too short to hurry.

If you left them in an unexcited state they get a lot smaller and are easier to store.

 

[thighspy]

Found at last???

Thats where the name O rings comes from..

When the box of foreskins was found,, Fred Said--


O rings.
