Which do you prefer your man to have? A circumsized penis or an uncirumsized penis?

I was never circumsized, and I can't bear the thought of having that happen now. I don't like to use the words "cut" and "my penis" in the same sentence. *shudders* But I know that some women just don't like uncircumsized men.

So ladies, which do you prefer?

I don't have a preference, but my boyfriend is uncirumcised and I have no problem with it at all. In fact I think I might like it a little bit better. It seems to add a little bit more friction.

i know i'm not a girl, but my SO says she prefers circumsized [mine is] as it makes it look better/bigger/more appealing. i'd say odds are, even if they didn't really like how it looked, cut or not, they wouldn't let you know unless it really mattered

A circumsized penis is more sanitary, right? I read that the extra foreskin can trap bacteria, even if you have good hygiene, and that the bacteria can cause infections (like UTI's) in females. In any case, I've never been with an uncircumsized man, so I guess I prefer circumsized.

Heh... I might be reading this wong, but isnt this like a chick telling you your dick is big? There is NO basis for truth, she's just trying to flatter you! If she wants you to do something to make yer dick LOOK BIGGER, ITS TOO SMALL FOR HER! And second, to all the ladies reading here, can y'all let up on the circumcision thing? It's not unsanitary unless the dude is unsanitary and dont touch his dick... ever... and SECOND, about 45% of a dude's pleasure sensing comes from... can ya guess? HIS FORESKIN! And guys who are uncircumsized are WAY easier o get off, via the aforementioned extra friction.

CityOfAngels

My ex only got a UTI once, and that was because she wasn't wiping right.
As for it being easier to get uncircumsized guys off...I'd have to challenge that. It takes a lot to get me off. Sex usually takes me at least half an hour, most of the time 45 minutes, not as often an hour, and I've lasted 2 hours twice in my life. Blowjobs take even longer, and when I masturbate, it just depends on my own time preference as I'm in complete control of the time and friction it takes.

Plus, I can't finish with a condom. I just can't. I went through seven different condoms in one night, all of them being attempts to boost the ego of the girl I was with, but it just wouldn't happen.

I don't mind circumcised dicks but I most certainly prefer one that isn't. I like the thought of a 100% natural penis with no alterations what so ever + I love how they look

Are guys allowed to post here? I know you posted this in Sexuality, not the Ladies Lounge, so guys should be able to, but it's fair enough if you just want women to respond. If that's the case, just say so and I'll delete

I'm uncircumsized, and I wouldn't have it any other way. When I was younger I was worried if I was normal since I thought circumcision was the norm. After two partners (who never commented on it) I'm comfortable with it.

As far as hygiene goes, I think those arguments are now fairly baseless. Anyone who knows how to wash himself has nothing to worry about. To me getting circumcised because it means you don't have to wash there, is the same as ripping out your teeth at birth just so you don't have to bother cleaning them. You can have sex without foreskin, and you can drink milkshakes and jelly without teeth... *shudder*

I'd never, ever have my son circumsized, just as I'd never have my daughter undergo female circumcision. I know there are arguments saying that it's different (circumsized men are just as healthy as uncut men, but it's different for women) but I stand firm that I'd never mutilate my children like that, and that would certainly be something any potential wife would have to agree on before we got married.

By the way I know I've spelled circumsized a million different ways here, but meh...

CityOfAngels

I've never EVER heard of circumcizing a female! I wonder how that looks!
And yeah, it's cool that you posted here. Heck, I'm a guy. I'm just wondering if I should worry before I start wagging my wang at every girl I see. Ok...maybe I won't do that, but you know what I mean.

My Dad wanted me to be circumsized just after birth, but the nurse refused him saying it takes away sensitivity from the foreskin. Years on and I'd like to shake that nurses hand (after she's scrubbed up of course)!
Now i know this will probably start on outcry from the guys that have been circumsized but the thing is, how would they now know whether they'd lost sensitivity or not? Put it this way if the flesh of a banana is the sensitive part and you peel the skin off the banana then the flesh will get tougher and less sensitive to compensate...?
Although you're more likely to get a job in porno if you've had the snip as it's impossible to suffer from a 'foreskin rollback snag' and it's accepted as being more hygenic even though men that have the extra skin know how to keep clean...

It's generally not done in a hospital or under sterile conditions like a make circumcision, so pictures I've seen (through medical journals) are pretty grim. It's done in various cultures, even though it might be illegal in those cultures (I beleive it's illegal in the US) to prevent the woman from having sexual desires because the clitoris and surrounding areas are cut out and sewn up rather crudely.

to answer the original question... Doesn't matter as long as hygiene is a factor...

I've never heard of the clitoris being cut off in female cirucmcisions. I'd only heard of the labia being "trimmed down" I guess you could say. Either way, I'd like to know what the results are under sterile and healthy conditions, because at the moment (due to both cultural apprehensions and the nasty conditions under which they're performed) there is a huge stigma around female circumcision.

Me, I like having a turtleneck. Keeps me warm in the winter. But in all seriousness, it's pretty easy to keep clean, and as has been mentioned, the skin doesn't toughen up so it's much more sensitive than a circumcised penis. I've also seen research or somesuch that showed that the foreskin helps during sex becuase it prevents too much friction, and therefore pain.

Carno

I'm not circumsized and I've only had one girl comment about it. Only thing she said was "I didn't know you weren't circumsized." Then she put it in her mouth.

I've never talked to a girl who thought uncut penis' were wierd.

Female circumcision is more commonly known as Female Genital Mutilation...

I found the last link quite interesting. Despite using the same words - female circumcision - it is talking about something completely different than the other sites. For those who don't want to read, it is a medical article suggesting the removal of part of the clitoral hood to allow the clitoris to be more easily stimulated. It is being recommended for those women (not babies) who cannot have an orgasm. This seems quite logical, and has the opposite intention of the procedures (rightfully) condemned in the other articles under the exact same name.

Missy

I've only seen one or two uncircumsized but I really prefer the look of a circumsized one.

Missy

Does anyone know what the %'s are of guys who are circumsized vs. not? (I know I could just google it but throwing it out there for discussion)

blar

well i guess it matters where which country you live in

Suave

Thankee. All I have to say on the issue of female circumcision, or "genital mutilation" as the critics call it, is that if we're going to allow it for one sex, it should be allowed for the other. I personally am against both forms, as it is almost always done without the consent of the individual being circumcised. I've never had much experience with female circumcision, but I can tell you that male circumcision, 99/100 times, is an archaic practice held over from when genital infections due to bad hygene were commonplace, whereas they are much rarer now.

Missy, from what I understand, circumcised men outnumber uncircumcised in the US at a ratio somewhere between 2/3-1/3 and 3/4-1/4. In Canada and the majority of European countries, it's the reverse.

Irishsean

Hmmm, held a quick informal poll over IM and phone with some of my friends, between 28 of us all of us are snipped and noone knows anyone who isn't... wierd...

I have never seen a real penis that wasn't circumcized! Am I shallow, or what? Aren't the trimmed cocks a lot prettier and nicer to suck on?

I read somewhere that 83% of the world is uncircumsized. The basis for doing it at birth is RELIGOUS, nothing more. There are circumstances where the foreskin needs to be surgically removed, but no doctor can predict that AT BIRTH.

I'm circumsized, but, honestly, I wish I wasn't. I really didn't have a choice in the matter, and that really, really bugs me.

I did not have my son circumsized, mainly because I don't think I should be doing things that don't make sense to me. I can't justify removing part of a body part solely on the basis of something that might happen, and because 'that's just the way we Christian Americans do things around here'.

Here's some good information about circumcision:

http://www.mothersagainstcirc.org/ -- very obvious which way these people think, but I imagine its all true...

"Christian Americans" What the heck you talking about! Its part of the Jewish religon not Christian.
I would know *all* my immediate family is Christian as well as me.

Actually, I think circumcision applies to all Abrahamic religions -- Judaism, Christianity, Islam. You know, Covenant with Abraham and such.

I'm happily "uncut". But if you're circumcised, there are devices to stretch what little skin you have and restore the foreskin. As long you don't mind the discomfort of attached weights or adhesives.

Personally, I view circumcision as mutilation. Some believe the practice arose from trying to discourage masturbation because of reduced sensitivity.

Grace, Too

Wrongo, littlebighead. Circumcision is the Abrahamic covenant, correct, but Christianity proper isn't under the law any more. Since the resurrection of Christ, his followers have been instructed that circumcision of the flesh is no longer required. "Ye are not under the law but under grace".

Ananas

Female opinion here:

I've been with both types of men, and while the state of a man's penis isn't a dealmaker or dealbreaker in the long run, I do prefer the uncircumcised penis. For me, it's more fun to play with, I like the scent, and it feels smoother (I don't know how to describe the sensation more accurately) during sex. Stroking an uncircumcised man is just a lot more interesting and enjoyable.

As for hygiene, most uncircumcised men that I've known practice very good hygiene - it's as if they are more aware of the need to keep clean - while I can say that many more uncircumcised men could use some lessons. One guy I knew would wipe or wash after each trip to the bathroom, he'd pull the skin back to make sure he was thorough. I really appreciated his thoughfulness and his desire to take care of himself. Better sex too. Giving him a blowjob was ecstasy itself, his skin made him more sensitive to touch, and the thrill was in exploring what was underneath the skin.
