would it be possible to do a poll on circumcision without a debate?

[Malthus]

@Belrix

No. This’ll get all GD in no time.

1. Cut
2. No.
3. No. I feel there’s not difference one way or the other on functionality and this is reportedly easier maintenance.

Ditto.

[MsWhatsit]

Female; no basis for comparison although I have liked the cut ones I’ve experienced just fine. So, no vote, I guess.

[NinetyWt]

Female.

I’ve seen plenty of male members, both cut and uncut.

I do.not.care. If I’m willing to have sex with you I’m not going to turn up my nose at the last minute because of whether or not you’ve got a foreskin.

[Coil]

1. Uncut
2. No. (Although I don’t think my parents actually made a conscious choice about it since it is not generally done around here).
3. Having read about it here quite often when the debate turns up I feel there are probably advantages to having a foreskin.

I can truthfully say that on the list of “Things About Which I Am Prepared To Care Regarding My Man”, whether or not he’s circumsized does not appear. There are probably at least a million things ahead of circumcision on that particular list. Including “Does he like cheese?” and “Who’s his favorite baseball player of all time?”

In fact, until I started surfing the Dope and caught one of the periodic cut/uncut brouhahas that crop up here like mushrooms after a rain, it had seriously never even occurred to me that circumcision was a subject about which people could be deeply passionate.

What other kind of subjects are there?

For male Dopers:

1. Cut
2. Yes
3. I believe that it is the right of the owner of the urinator (and his alone) to decide; as I wasn’t given that choice, I have no idea what I prefer and I’m a bit bitter about that.

This.

@tesseract

For male Dopers:

1. Cut or uncut?
2. If you could, would you change the choice your parents (or whoever was responsible) made about this?
3. Why/why not, one sentence or less?

1. Uncut
2. No
3. No medical reason that makes such surgery necessary in my case.

[Walpurgis]

Female, and preferring uncut, but not from experience but cultural bias and lack of exposure: I’ve never seen a circumcised penis in real life, since they’re not very common in Scandinavia. So, a circumcised member looks weird to me. And unnerving, and, well, ugly. It’s probably the same reaction people who are used to cut guys have towards uncut fellas, except the other way around.

[Monstera_deliciosa]

Female

No preference.

There has only been one uncut man in my life, so I don’t have a large pool for comparison, but I liked his equipment just fine, aesthetically and functionally. And I have been equally content with the cut men as well.

As long as it’s “happy to see me,” I’m good.

[Beadalin]

Female.

Makes no difference to me.

1. I prefer the term INTACT. Uncut makes it sound like we not doing something you expect us to do.
2. No, they got this one right. I feel that when it comes to both circumcism and religion, the choice should be the person’s himself. There is no damn reason that the parents should decide this - if the kid doesn’t want to be intact, he can choose to get it done himself. Despite claims from most google-ads on this site, its a lot harder to UNDO it once its been done. And on the subject of religion (since that is often one of the reasons it is done) brises and baptisms also can’t be undone. This isn’t a big deal if the religion a child later picks is NONE, but if they find a different religion, it could cause difficulties to know that they were put through rituals of a relgion that now contradicts their own.
3. See #2…got too carried away there.

No preference, though there’s anecdotal evidence that foreskins make for great friction (assuming you get far enough in the relationship to shed the condoms).

[Mtgman]

1. Half cut. There’s a story there, but basically only about half the foreskin was removed. My glans is covered unless erect.
2. By accident, I think I may have gotten the best of both worlds. The glans is covered and most of the foreskin intact, but it can retract further than fully intact foreskin. This makes cleaning easier, but protects and allows the glans to remain moist under most conditions. It also allows nearly full motion for masturbation so I don’t need lube.
3. After learning there isn’t a way to purposely get a “half-cut” I’d recommend no-cut over cut.

Enjoy,
Steven

Umm, does this mean that if you are cut you need lubrication in order to masturbate? Sorry for the hijack.

I’ll clarify mine as well, I’m somewhere in the vicinity of 3/4’s cut. There’s not enough to cover the glans without me manually doing so, but certainly more skin then the normally cut person would have.

[WOOKINPANUB]

FEmale.

Definitely prefer cut. In fact, the boyfriend, whom I absolutely adore and find attractive in every other way is uncut and it still takes me aback sometimes. I know it sounds superficial, but you can’t help what turns you on / grosses you out.

Now, if he had “cheese” under the foreskin, that’s another matter.
