[Slight Hijack] Ladies, if any one of you want to borrow my chainsaw… all I ask is that you clean and oil the chain afterwards and to bring it back with a full tank of gas. You’re Welcome…! 😃 [/Slight Hijack] ---

> [@Broomstick](#): > > ^ Add me to this list. I really don’t give a damn. ^ Me, too. (Also the list of people too lazy to multi-quote. 🙂 ) I had a LTR with a British guy; he was not circumcised. Other than the visual difference, it works the same, so I don’t care. ETA: said British guy was pretty cool about my “snake in a sweater” comment when I first saw his John Thomas. ---

I’ve never seen one (yes, I’m sure). That said – size matters, I’m pretty sure foreskin doesn’t. ---

I’m still not sure why mutilation should be the default standard in the US, and leaving the damned thing alone should be considered abnormal. Weird. ---

Well, circumcision is no longer the _automatic_ default (rates have dropped from the high 90’s to nearly 50% in just one generation) we didn’t summarily execute older, grown men who had already had this done. As a result, something like 80% of American men are cut. Thus, in the context of American society being circumcised is the \*statistical \* norm and thus “normal”. Generations have grown up, lived, and died without ever seeing an unaltered penis in the flesh although thanks to the internet I think the “never seen an uncut dick, ever” is a thing of the past for most of us. ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > If this is a deal breaker for you then I don’t want to date you either, unless it was a religious imperative. This makes no sense to me. You’d dismissively write off someone because they have an aesthetic preference for an uncircumcised penis… but …you’d still have respect for someone who told you her preference for an uncircumcised penis was dictated by a cloud dwelling pink unicorn? We excuse way too much stupidity in this world just because the stupidity is preceded by “God told me…”. ---

I’m married now, but I’m under thirty, grew up in North America, and have never seen a circumcised dick in real life. By luck I’ve dated only uncircumcised guys. This is not as unusual as some seem to think. ---

European woman here. I’ve got normal experience with uncirc’s, limited experience with circ’d. I couldn’t really tell the difference. Penises are already so different in size, color and shape, some are growers when erect, some not…circumsized or not, is really not that much of a difference. When I see them on pictures, like here ([Warning, NSFW Wikipedia picture of two penises](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Circumcised_and_uncircumcised_penis.jpg)) i think the circ’d one looks a bit more like a statue’s, but it also looks…more painful, less protected, in a way. ---

wait…is that why circumsized men need handlotion for jacking off? Uncut men don’t need to use lotion, the skin gives enough room. …wait, is cutting men all an consipracy to sell more handlotion? :dubious: ---

Believe her when she says NSFW people! I clicked on it and my screen was filled with dick:p No worries here but if you have anyone anywhere near you it could attract attention. Tis a shame that once again a picture of the human anatomy, especially when it’s not being displayed in sexual context, should be taboo but there you go. ---

Cleaner is not the right word, “easier to keep clean” is more accurate. That just means you put in a little extra effort, not that you have to be dirtier.
