Circumcision shortens the size of an erect penis.

JDT… One of our all time wackiest loons, one-trickiest ponies. Constantly advocating for foreskin restoration through mechanical stretching (I think his device was called a tug-ahoy, really). Less funny than the Grapist, but fondly recalled for his white-hot crazy.

People tend to get hung up about why their virile endowment and/or erotic enjoyment is not as great as they think it should be. This particular bodily alteration makes for an easy explanation – “I’d be bigger and have more intense sensations if only…” – enough to suspend disbelief when you’re reaching for anything to hold on to.

To the point of having become a Board Meme/catchphrase/archetype.
And if one-person anecdotal samples were to count, then we could counter with circumcised-in-infancy Jewish man Ron Jeremy as an extreme data point of it not doing much harm to someone’s genital size or performance… In this department, outliers are outliers with or without the modification.

I see what you did there.

Circumcision for a small baby in his first 6 days is a traumatic moment for that young person’s life, but even more so for a grown man even has been known to cause PTSD.

This could be the real reason your mates penis is a tad smaller, but listen up now haven’t you noticed that it is cleaner … lol

Who gets circumcised at six days?

Isn’t that the standard time frame for Jewish circumcision?

Can I tell my mohel joke now?

We really need a slow clap smilie. Or a drop the mike smilie.

Moved from General Questions to IMHO.

How do you measure a flaccid member? Before or after shrinkage?

Well, damn, I always thought one of the perks of being gay would be that size doesn’t matter!

If anything, it matters more. (Not universal, but very common)

Shouldn’t your son have a say in whether part of his penis is cut off? As a consenting adult?

He can always opt to do it then. He can’t opt back out if you cut him now.

You’re right, we should have asked our sons before we had them circumcised as babies. I regret it now, because it obviously messed them up. They couldn’t walk for a year!:slight_smile:

Wouldn’t speak to us for about that long either.

Wait until they find out what you did to them, then they may not speak to you for a while again.

So traumatized he shit himself - regularly.

I know lots and lots of men. They are aware of the proceedure of circumcision. Not one is angry with their parents over it. Perhaps somewhere these men exist but I sure as hell never heard of this before the SDBM.

Wash, don’t amputate!
