:eek:
I musta gave the wrong impression here. She did not use a gas station air hose.
But now I’m curious, so I’ll see what I can dig up.
By the way, Paul, does the same warning apply to making pussy farts? 
Sorry.
Index card? ::Looks down:: I was short-changed! Or do you mean, um, unfolded?
Seriously, I’m in the “don’t do it” camp. I was cut, and wish I hadn’t been, but not to the point of using that Tug Ahoy thing.

Post #2… (first talked about my parents scarring me, and now my penis, this is the weirdest place in the world)
So, I’m curious about a couple things. I’m 17, I’m… all natural, and I have been thinking about a little snip job for a while too. I have heard that the foreskin does contain more nerve endings, and as far as the little general is concerned, it feels like an accurate statement. My question is, will there be a decrease in “pleasure” if I get cut?
Second thing I want to know… Ok, I deffinantly have my foreskin, but it ain’t no balloon… Now, I’ve been around the block before, but this is a new one, tell me you are kidding :rolleyes:
Well, of course the foreskin contains nerve endings. It is skin. When you cut skin, remove a portion, and sew the edges together, you are severing/removing a LOT of nerve tissue - and nerve tissue has a very hard time healing itself. You may also have a location of numbness. I still (5 years later) have a numb line on my abdomen from my cesarean section deliveries, and this is very common.
Now, there are some specialize nerve endings, I am told, especially in the ridged band (which normally holds the foreskin slightly closed or puckered) and in the frenulum. The ridged band will absolutely be removed in an adult circumcision. IF you have problems with your frenulum being too short (which would be similar to if you were born tongue-tied), with it being hurt or torn during sex, then perhaps having it removed would be a benefit to you. But - go on, feel for yourself - the frenulum is that stretchy bit of tissue under your cock-head, where the head makes a ‘V’ and joins the shaft. For many men, that is THE spot that helps them reach orgasm. It is almost guaranteed to be damaged or removed during an adult circumcision. Some doctors remove it as a matter of procedure.
Many men do report greater sensation initially after circumcision because their glans, which until now has been covered/protected all the time, is now exposed all the time. However, the surface of the glans will dry out and toughen up a bit in response to the friction of underwear, pants, etc. and the initial sensitivity very well may not last. Certainly there are men who, having been cut as adults, were very unhappy with their loss of sensation, and are working on restoration. (And there are men who remain happy. So you never know until you find out one way or another.)
There is also a gliding sensation, I am told, of the loose skin up and down the shaft when one is intact. This will likely be gone, depending on how tightly you would be cut. Some men really enjoy rolling the foreskin up and over the glans during masturbation. That would also be gone.
I’m in the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” camp, but really, it all depends on what you want. If you’re not happy with what you have, certainly you can get yourself cut and find out if you’re happier that way. Hopefully, you would be. And if you weren’t, well, restoration does allow a fairly reasonable replacement (though this can take many years and by all reports is frustrating as hell.)
Judging by how much I use my foreskin when I masturbate, that is some serious piece of sexual equipment you’re thinking of having removed. I would strongly advise you not to do it.
As long as you keep it clean, there’s no reason not to have one, and many reasons to leave your equipment according to original specifications.
It’s definitely far less sensitive now. I wouldn’t do it if it weren’t a medical necessity.
Well, I must not be very versed in my “technique” but uh, I really try to leave the little general alone as I heard wacking him around too much can have negative effects. Anyhow, just a follow up, is it really that big of a deal for women?
Not as big of a deal as calling your penis “the little general”, I’m fairly sure…
I can’t say about women, but for the benefit of any gay/bi men reading, guys seem to like it. I’ve received a lot of very positive comments about it, especially from Americans, interestingly.
Unless there is a medical or religious reason, it seems highly unwise to mess around with your body. It is not a decision you can go back on, and it is not a body modification that - like piercing - when you get bored of it you can just take the piercings out and forget about them.
A friend of mine was circumsized for medical reasons (foreskin too tight) at the age of 18. He was fine afterwards, but went through agony after the operation.
I don’t know if the reaction/desires of current or potential sexual partners is on your mind, but if it is: forget it. Any man or woman who is that freaked out about a little bit of skin (provided you keep good hygiene which I’m sure you do!) is not worth bothering with.
All in all: if you are not sure, wait several years. You have your whole life to have it cut off if you really want to, but there’s no going back if you’re not happy with your choice.
Spline32’s having a little comprehension problem, having been around the block;
I’m surprized you can’t just imagine this, but here goes;
First off, this is definitely only for afterplay. Getting an erection ruins the whole thing.
She would take ahold of the very end of the foreskin with the tips of two fingers on each hand and spread it to form an opening, like if you were going to fill a water balloon at a faucet, then put her lips to the opening abd blow gently. She could even pinch the opening to retain the air for our entertainment. Result? A pretty cute little balloon. You could see the blood vessels in the skin. Unless you were fully sated, this game was often interrupted by the effect mentioned above.
So, if you get cut, no little balloons for you. I hope this post doesn’t cause a sudden increase in the number of cut guys seeking restoration. 
I’ll leave it to someone else to explain pussy farts.
If I’ve embarassed anyone, I apologize. Stuff like this dosen’t bother me a bit.
Piece, I mean peace,
mangeorge
BTW; never roll your eyes at grampa.
How exactly was THIS discovered…
M: “No really, it was good…”
F: “I’m glad you liked it”
M: “So, you wanna blow up my balloon?”
F: “you want me to do what!?!?”
M: “No really, just go ahead and blow right on it, yeah, thats it…”
F: “Look, I can make a poodle!”
:smack:
Nonsense. It’s your body, and as long as you’re causing no pain, you’re not going to do yourself any harm or have negative effects. Don’t stick things into your urethra. Don’t use a cock-ring so long that your cock turns purple. Do stop if things start feeling chafed. Other than that, what can possibly be harmful or negative about masturbation? If anything, it’s good to exercise the prostate gland.
Allow me to quote from some early medical literature regarding how and why circumcision became a commonplace medical “treatment” in America: it was done, Spline, as punishment on little boys who touched themselves too much.
It was nonsense. Masturbation doesn’t give you tuberculosis. It doesn’t paralyse you or give you heart disease, or make you careless, negligent or listless. It also won’t make you grow hair on the palms of your hands. It’s your body. Enjoy it. Just…you know…be discreet.
Now, as for what women like, I admit I have never had the opportunity to experience an unaltered penis. I can tell you however that the idea of the gliding action of the extra skin sounds very appealing. It sounds less likely to chafe after a few minutes. I don’t like being chafed. I would not be offended by the appearance or the smell (assuming soap and water ever found their way there), and I imagine I’d enjoy playing with the extra skin. But my husband was born in America 36 years ago. Standard Procedure. And, of course, I like him fine the way he is, and I’ve never known anything else.
So you’ve (due to youth) never been in a comfortable, long term relationship. 
May your foreskin endure, intact, into the future.
May you someday discover the exquisite joy of ballooning.
Well, you are right that highschool isn’t very conducive to long term relationships :rolleyes:
Though, if I ever get the chance, I’ll be sure to take you up on it, and let you know the results 
Believe this, Spline32, there’s no hurry. There is much more important stuff to worry about right now. Like education, and cheeseburgers.
Mmmmmm, cheeseburgers…
Um…Speaking as a woman who’s been with both cut and uncut fellows, I’ll vote very strictly for leaving things as they are.
It’s…nice. A treat, even.
And that’s all I’m sayin’ on the topic.
