IS Forskin Removal Normal?!
Question:
IS Forskin Removal Normal?
out of 100 men of different types of races, not including religion, how many would likely have their forekin removed? and if you get it removed, that would just be as if you are pulling your foreskin back right? but ive noticed when i pull my foreskin back, my shaft gets really sensitive, so sensitive that when i blow air onto it, it feels as if i was outside with a breeze of wind. so if you get it removed, shouldnt your penish shaft be sensitive at all times? touching againts your underwear, your pants, or touching your thighs?

Where do you live? Here are the statistics; they all show that circumcision is getting less popular. The USA is the last advanced nation to do it, and it's gone from being almost universal to as low as 14% in some states.

Haha, I just find it funny how many post baseless opinions with no statistics to back themselves; common stereotype in the USA.
To start off, it hurts:

Here are the risks of circumcision, from actual studies not opinions.
Overall, both types of guys have about the same levels of satisfaction (uncircumcised guys more by one point or two; see question 17 in link below) but the difference comes it where about half of circumcised guys said they would have rather chosen; I guess that's why circumcision rates are falling a lot (and the USA is the only advanced nation to do it).

Less sensitivity / pleasure (due to constant rubbing of the head)

More difficulty with masturbation (since the already-lubricated foreskin wouldn't be there to rub the head with)

Meatal stenosis (when the urethra opening gets irritated due to constant rubbing and closes up); not found in uncircumcised guys

Higher erectile dysfunction rates

Again, less sensitivity

Shorter penis (a guy who was circumcised posted about that this morning; he went from 7 to 5 inches) caused by skin pulling it back due to tightness

Skin bridges (where pieces of skin attach to the head, like bridges)

And those are the major ones. Those are risks; they're not guaranteed, just like the risks for being uncircumcised are not universal. Everyone's different. I've provided you with the links so you can compare the rates and such, some are common, with the masturbation difficulty in the 63% range, while others are less common, like meatal stenosis (around 10%). I guess that's why circumcision is becoming less popular; only the USA is the last remaining advanced/industrialized nation to do it, and our rates are falling (to as low as 14%).

As far as STDs go, studies have found it for both ways. Here's one that found that circumcised guys have higher rates, for example:

My view is that if you have a lot of partners and practice unprotected sex, you're bound to eventually get an STD, but if you're clean and smart, you'll generally be safe.
As far as HIV/AIDS infections go, when comparing industrialized countries, the USA has the highest level of circumcisions, yet we still have the highest level of HIV/AIDS infections. That's using CIA statistics (uncircumcised Europe and Japan have lower rates):

And the American Cancer Society has already said that circumcision does NOT prevent penile cancer.

As far as cleaning goes, you just pull it back and rub the head. It only takes a few seconds and feels good (you're rubbing the head after all). That's never been an issue for me (and it seems like it isn't for the rest of the world).
