I would definitely have to say, the consensus is circumcised guys are just better. Fewer germs, better smell, and more fun.
[quote=âStasiekâ]Well, no one knows womenâs opinions better then me, a 25 year old guy.
All women prefer a circumcised penis, that is bent horribly and super uglyâŚI hope.[/quote]
Whilst web surfing I found 2 more arguments for both sides.
ImaniOU, I would have to think that there are a good share of Hooded Riders and German Helmets with comparable skills in the bed room. Fewer germs and a better smell come from a good washing, not from being circed.
The whole thing about looks is just something thatâs been programed into the minds of many as being better. Just like being super thin (for women), having long/short (depending on who you talk to) and having really big muscles. Being circed because of looks reminds me of things like having feet binded or that hour glass look thing. When (most) people look back at the insanely tight girdles and binded feet they say âWhat the hell were people back in the day thinkingâ. I assume it will hold true for circumcising.
Yeah whatever, we won
Letâs see how tactful I can remain without getting too graphicâŚ
Well, the three worst relationships I have ever had were with the only three men I have dated (to my knowledge) that were not circumcised. I donât want to make generalizations like that, except what the problems in those relationships related to their uncut state and issues that seemed to stem from this.
The difference between the uber-thin thing/foot binding thing and circumcision is that the former has lasted at the most for a couple hundred years. Circumcision goes back to ancient Egypt. If it were just a fad, then itâs the first one thatâs last for thousands of years.
Itâs not about looks per se.
And yet, in another thread on what would motivate you to leave Taiwan, you said:
[quote=âImaniOUâ]It would be because as a black woman in Taiwan, I canât get no lovinâ.
Europe is my next destinationâŚnot that a potential nookie factor was a part of my decision process, but it is definitely a perk.[/quote]
You know of course, that in Europe, the look is au naturel and helmet heads are in the minority.
Stolen from http://www.misterpoll.com:

Because you are and looks better are essentially the same. Also, medical reason at such a young age are BOGUS! More kids are seriously injured or worse, then lives saved (any :? ) from getting circed.
And that makes it good/right? Just because everyone else does it⌠:?
I wasnât calling it a fad. Iâm just assuming as less and less people do it, it wonât be so main stream, until one day people look down on it (like feet binding and things). I still think reasons like not fitting in are âgoodâ reasons, I just wouldnât do it for that reason, or any (minus medical).
This discussion is starting to remind me of the âThe Butter Battle Bookâ:
You have now entered the big world of Butter. And will experience the big battle between the Yooks and Zooks. And find the truth. This big problem went on for years and they never reached a compromise.
Even though the thought of fighting over how you butter your bread sounds funny, in a way it is a present day reality. Dr. Seuss realized that and wrote this book. He wanted to show not a butter battle, but that a conflict can escalate to a point where it seems that there is no turning back.
Butter Side UP! Hee heeâŚjust kidding.
But I was just sharing my personal opinion. And yes, maoman, I am aware of the Europeansâ dislike of helmet head. But even an uncirced one is better than nothing.
Hey, I just started three sentences with a conjunctionâŚis that a record?
From todayâs New York Times:

The preferred procedure is to get circumcised as a baby.
Hence, this âresearchâ is obviously flawed. Babies donât engage in intercourse.
Unwilling to wash?!?! What a load of rubbish! Do you have any idea how much time the average teenager spends âwashingâ his gear? Even at my advanced age, if I donât have a girlfried in tow Iâll spend twice as long in the shower - and take more showers too!
The baldies are winning the poll for a very simple reason: there are more Americans here than other nationalities. We had a ânationalityâ poll, remember? You leatherheads are proclaiming that genital mutilation is the way to go on the basis of the fact that Taiwanese prefer to learn American English.
Yeah, right! Well, what a resounding argument that is. Iâll just go and spoil something that has given me decades of joyous service. Next youâll be arguing that chopping the end off will help your students achieve a better accent too.
None of my American girlfriends have ever expressed any negative sentiment towards my friend Ernestâs appearance or aroma. (Although there has been some criticism of his incessant âfriendlinessâ.) He has always been very popular with anyone that has taken the trouble to get to know him, and he would probably be very upset to learn that someone is not taking the trouble because of how he looks.
But that doesnât happen often, because (letâs admit it, folks) weâre usually pretty intimate by the time we have to come, er, âface to faceâ with this issue. And affection for any willy comes from an appreciation for what it can do, so if you donât like looking at it I suggest you put it to work first - then tell me it smells bad!
The extra skin is there for a reason, and arguing for itâs removal is like a smoker arguing that cigarettes donât harm your sense of smell. I would prefer to be sensitive enough that I can recognize the difference, and appreciate all the subtleties of my woman.
Boomshanka!!
The baldies have one advantage though:
It doesnât bother them if they have to wear a condom: whatâs the difference when you have got rhinoâs skin down there anyway.
On the downside:
You have to carry around some Aqualube all the time for some spontaneous handjob action
t.ukyo,
Youâre wrong. A condom takes away the last little bit of feeling.
When wearing condoms we become veritable sex-machines, capable of all-nightersâat least in theory.

Some good news for the leatherheads!! Circumcisions reduces the risk of AIDS.
Surely the best thing to do is to leave this kind of decision up to the individual. Since babies are too young to decide, donât circumcize. If, when the boy grows up, he is convinced that circumcision is the best choice (because of the lower risk of AIDS and penile cancer, because of aesthetics, or whatever), then he can get it done then. Donât think no one blames their parents for having cut off part of the penis: Gore Vidal, for one, considered his mother to be a castrating bitch for having had him circumcized.
Thatâs not really a factor for most of us married guys.
The rate of circumcision of boys in the U.S. remains high but it is on the decline, about 2% per year.
Acording to mensightmagazine.com, it has âdeclined from 90% to 60% in recent years and has fallen by 15 percent in five years ('93-'98).â
I never had a choice⌠I coulda been a contenderâŚ
Are there any men here who were circumcised as an adult, and so could tell us how sexual response is affected? After all, most men are circumcised as babies, and so are just guessing about whether it has diminished sexual pleasure.
I had a college friend that actually got a circumcision as an adult (heâd been wanting one ever since he became sexually active). He said itâs the best thing he ever did, because it improved his sex life 100% (If I remember correctly, he said something about sex being painful With a foreskinâhis didnât roll back properly).
There was a certain group of boys when I was at school who used to compete to stuff the greatest number of coins into their foreskins. I was never one of them.
