To be honest with you, it's all out of penis envy. Most of the negativity you will hear about circumcision will come from guys that are uncircumcised themselves or females that have uncircumcised partners. I have experienced life uncircumcised and now circumcised and I agree with what your saying. Anti-Circumcision advocates want you to believe that sexual sensation is drastically reduced once you get circumcised. However, if you've been uncircumcised your whole life how would you know how sex feels for a circumcised guy? When i was uncircumcised sex consisted of me sliding in and out of my own forskin rather than in and out of my partners vagina, which really wasn't that stimulating at all. After being circumcised sex is so much more stimulating because I receive direct stimulation from my penis head sliding in and out of my partners vagina without forskin interference. As far as hygiene, it's so much easier to keep clean. After experiencing life both circumcised and uncircumcised i'm truely convince that it's unquestionably better being circumcised. I'm sure I will get some thumbs down for speaking the truth, but like I said it's just penis envy.

no, none cares, the internet is full of losers with no life

cut men are usually are pro cirsum... uncut are usually anti circum... and your either cut or uncut... so u hav all these guys looking at the answers and are just voting on whether they agree or not... I asked a question like this before... that women dont really care... but guys do.. yet guys main argument is that it is for the woman.. it doesn't make sence

yeah, its pretty heated and controversial. Basically, circumcision involves amputating a perfectly healthy part of the penis. It also changes how sex feels for a man and disfiguires his penis (for better or worse). When women think about cutting their genitals (and there is such a thing as "cosmetic gynecology") everyone is very against it, even if it would make them "prettier" "easier to clean" or more socially acceptable. If female genitals are perfect intact, male genitals are too. Cutting yourself to fit in doesn't make much sense, its a rather shallow reason for a very serious procedure. Genitals are ugly, there's just no way around it, nobody needs surgery to make them better looking, even if its popular at the moment. -Neb

OK...how sensitive would you be about having your breasts or clitoris altered? Maybe answering that question for yourself might give you some insight on the sensitivity of males.

I detest being circumcised because I feel mutilated. I figure nobody should have had the right to remove over half the skin of my penis (15 square inches in an adult) for no good medical reason. No medical organisation in the world now recommends routine infant circumcision as the complication rate and risks far outweigh the unproved, so-called benefits. These claimed benefits are based on flawed studies and are slowly being disproved but the zealots still quote them.

Minor foreskin problems can almost always be cured by simple stretching exercises, sometimes in combination with a Bethamethasone cream but US doctors don't seem to know about this. They often want to use circumcision as a first-option treatment, not the last resort for serious conditions like BXO it should be. Your ex-boyfriend's problem could almost certainly have been sorted with a couple of months of simple stretching.

Many men resent being circumcised, some so much that they stretch to try and regain some of their lost foreskin's function. They can never recover all the complex anatomy and lost nerve endings though.

Infant circumcision is a violation of a man's right to intact genitals and I will never forgive my parents and the medical profession for doing it to me. It's not just a flap of skin that's cut off. It's an integral part of a normal penis, essential to normal masturbation and sex. Making light of it as unimportant makes me upset. Females are protected by law in most western countries. Males should also be protected from this mutilation.

There are loads of hot topics and people always thumbs up and down all sorts of things. Some people just do it even if the answer is good, because they are being trollish. On questions which aren't very important, but get a lot of responses for some reason, there are still loads of thumbs. Don't read into it.

About circumcision - the main reason people are sensitive is because it is a human rights issue when done to a baby. It's not so much a problem about adults - jkels made the decision to get done and found it good, good for him. At least he had the choice because he was left intact. he's even said the operation was no big deal and he got anaesthetic unlike a baby. Then again, most men don't have his problems - he said he had a smell even if he washed, which most men don't, and that he didn't like the head sliding in and out of the foreskin, which most men do. So it's an individual thing. And the problem with doing it to babies is that it's taking away an individual's choice. Read the answer above me to see how that can make some men feel.

You have to remember some people promoting circumcision have ulterior motives - doctors, for example, who make an awful lot of money from it. Or the people who get off on it and talk about it on their little fetish web site. Or religious people who are trying to subtley promote what they see as their god's truth. Or circumcised men who feel they are missing a bit and are sad about it. Whereas people against circumcision include many, many circumcised people and women with circumcised partners - it's not just a crowd of uncut people. And besides if they were jealous they could easily go and get cut which a cut guy can't do.

When people use experiences that circumcised or uncircumcised adults have as a reason to cut babies or not, it's not appropriate. There is no saying whether Baby X will grow up to have a dirty foreskin at age 70 like Adult Y or whether they will get pain in intercourse once like Adult Z did.

It's completely different to vaginal rejuvination or breast enlargement etc. - because those are cosmetic surgeries done on adults who choose to have them done! How crazy would it be if people tried to do that to baby girls because they assumed said girl wouldn't be able to clean or wouldn't like the look of their whole body or men wouldn't like it etc. crazy!

Males are sensitive about "circumcision" because it involves our primary sexual organ, that makes it kind of important to us. "Circumcision", or more accurately male genital mutilation, removes most of the nerves from the penis so a mutilated one feels a lot less than a complete one does. Any mutilated male that doesn't realize this is living in a fantasy world. More than 20,000 nerve endings have been hacked off and thrown in the garbage, that is more than you have in all ten of your finger tips put together, that much lost nerve tissue has got to have a drastic impact on the ability to feel pleasure.

Yes it does offend us, the thought that, at a tender age, somebody strapped us down and hacked off the most nerve rich part of our genitals. They cut healthy tissue from a healthy body, that is not healing, that is not what a doctor is sworn to do. The reasons given for the mutilation are no justification, they are all lame and made up by a money hungry "medical" industry that is more interested in profit than patent care.

u asked: "r guys really THAT touchy about somethin so unimportant? UNIMPORTANT??? How can my ability to feel pleasure with my primary sex organ be unimportant? Hacking off four of the five most sensitive areas of my penis is unimportant? The most sensitive area on my mutilated penis is part of my "circumcision" scar! How would you like it if your best "happy
