Male foreskin has always been a hotly contended issue among the sexually active. Some people love the sight of a throbbing uncut cock, while others find them to be garish and unsightly. Then, of course, there are those who don’t have a preference either way. Cosmo recently spoke with two men– one gay and one straight — about their thoughts on circumcised and un-circumcised penises, and what they had to say was interesting.
Man #1 is a 22-year-old gay man. Man #2 is a 31-year-old heterosexual. Both gentlemen are circumcised. When asked if they wished they weren’t, they had completely different responses.
“I have never thought too much about the possibility,” Man #1 said. “I feel like most guys are circumcised so I guess I just feel like I was ‘normal.'”
Indeed, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, the majority of American males (55 percent) are circumcised, though that number has been declining over the past 30 years.
“I wish I wasn’t,” Man #2 lamented. “Mostly because I’ve learned that uncircumcised men experience more pleasure. It took me until my mid-20s to learn about this, and I felt cheated out of a natural and beautiful part of my body by a decision that was never given to me.”
He continues: “I think it looks better to be circumcised, [but] sex is less pleasurable, for both men and women, and the organ itself is more sensitive than it ought to be. I remember reading somewhere that there are about 12 square inches of skin removed in circumcision. Also, there is probably buried body trauma of the event itself that still affects me in sex although I don’t consciously remember it.”
The Cooperative Institutional Research Program confirms that body trauma, including disruptions to the parental-infant bonding process and grief over the loss of a body part, can result from circumcision. The program also claims that, contrary to what previous reports have said, infants do, indeed, experience pain from the procedure.
Of course, many would argue that time heals all wounds. Especially those inflicted when a person is less than 10 days old.
When asked if they had a preference over whether their partner had a cut or uncut penis, Man #2 remained quiet on the issue. Meanwhile, Man #1 said he didn’t care either way. “It really is a nonissue for me,” he replied. “I’m not going to complain too much about size or shape as long as things work in a way that pleases us both.”
He also said that, in his experience, whether a man is cut or uncut did not affect his overall sexual performance or the taste of his dong during oral sex.
“I also never noticed a distinct difference with this,” he explained. “If there is a strong taste for anything, I’m hoping it would just be soap.”
The most distinct difference between a circumcised penis and an uncircumcised one, he continued, was when it comes to hand jobs.
“Giving a hand job to a man with an uncircumcised penis is different, but definitely not a negative experience,” he said. “As a circumcised man, there is just a different ‘look’ to what is happening.”
What do you think? Do you prefer your man to be cut or uncut, and why? Sound off in the comments section below.

My Bf and I are both uncut and can’t imagine what it’s like not to be. My few ‘hands on” experiences with circumcised tools were awkward for me and the other guy.
I have known 2 guys over 20 when they were circumcised. Both of them had image and sexual issues as a result.
Gothrykke
I’m uncut. I used to be able to look at cut penises and think it was okay. Over time, though, I’ve overcome the cultural stereotype and realized just what the hell is going on. It’s genital mutilation, pure and simple. I don’t care much for piercings, but that may not be connected.

It’s genital mutilation, pure and simple. It should be illegal ,it is for females in Canada and the US.
SteveDenver
I like foreskins, as long as they are clean and attached to an awesome guy. I have encountered foreskins that were attached directly to A55HOLES, and that’s a disappointment.
SteveDenver
@rickhfx: I agree that it is genital mutilation, and UNNECESSARY. To be honest, if the procedure were comparable to female mutilation, then the entire penis would be cut away.
Steverino2
I prefer cut as often uncut are “aromatic”. Not always but often enough to be a turn-off. Fully retractable foreskins do not have this problem. Maybe it is my problem? Someone years ago described an uncut penis as Yul Brynner in a turtleneck sweater. Funny I think.
ric
No I don’t like my men uncut. I LOVE IT. I think that men with clean foreskin are hot,hot,hot.

For some of us, being circumcised is a commitment to our religion made by our parents (yes, I’m Jewish). Although I had no choice in the matter, I’m fine with it. I don’t miss it at all. Do I have a preference in other men? Yes, just one: they are still breathing; what has happened to their foreskins is of no importance to me. I was one of the very fortunate circumcised male babies; mine was done at 3 day while under general anesthesia (for other genital-related issues—an extra testicle was removed so the bris happened in the operating room). I had no memory of the event. But I do kind of wish I still had that third testicle…sigh.

Jarrod
LOL! Call me “immoral”, “a bloodthirsty savage” or anything else for that matter; I really don’t value people’s opinions. A parent makes a decision for his child and it’s part of some countries and religions’ culture and tradition. If this politically correct crap goes on, parents will be told they need a signed document from the child stating whether it wants to be born or not. Parents decide for their children. Some people die when eating, others die in bathrooms, others are crushed by vending machines, others are killed by cars yearly. Something always kills someone somewhere, so I’m not too worried about that.
If he hates it when he grows up (but I’ll raise a MAN, so I’m sure that won’t happen), he’ll take it up with me, but until then snip-snip and chop-chop!

I agree that it is genital mutilation, and UNNECESSARY. I deeply regret having mine cut.

Cut and uncut look the same when hard, so I don’t get the “unsightly” adjective. All I can think is that it must be used by people who HAVEN’T ACTUALLY SEEN a representative selection of uncut c*cks.
In any case, uncut is the natural default, so finding uncut “unsightly” is like saying you find unpierced ears or lips unsightly, or guys without tattoos unsightly.

@Jarrod:
It’s not your choice to make.
Leave any male child and let him decide when he matures.
Circumcision is barbaric.
Few in this world would ever consider doing similar cutting to a baby woman.

Uncut
Sammy Schlipshit
@orcanyc:
Absolutely. Nature and evolution don’t make mistakes. Foreskin has a purpose.
Basing such a barbaric circumcision act on religion, culture or aesthetics is ridiculous and ignorant.
One of the reasons given in the wave of cutting last century was that by being circumcised the males reaching puberty wouldn’t masturbate. Gee, how’d that work out?
Need any more evidence of ignorance and fear based actions? Get the real story behind Kellogg and his reasons for corn flakes. He was a real crazed zealot.
And that whole argument about the difficulties of cleanliness is really stupid. Parents teach their children how to wipe their bottoms and wash their hands so what stops parents from teaching their intact sons to clean their foreskin?
I talk to any perspective parent about the horrors of such brutality.
In addition of all the facts I give, the most effective one is telling the parents, especially the dads, to watch a video of the cutting.
Stops them dead in their tracks immediately.
Most are clueless even flippant about how the mutilation takes place.
It’s not their decision to make.
Let a mature man decide what he does and does not want for his body.
NiceNCool1
Let’s be frank about this. Circumcision was invented to remove the fun from your penis. It was pushed as a deterrent against masturbation to a sexually regressive Christianized world. It certainly isn’t done in the U.S. for religious reasons…which is still barbaric no matter how you look at it.
Sammy Schlipshit
@NiceNCool1:
Check out my response that was posted just after yours.
Right on, brother.
adventuretime
@Sammy Schlipshit: I struggle not over the act of circumcision itself, but over justifying it being done to any child without his consent. Still, I was circumcised as an infant, and I have no recollection of it nor do I have any (known) trauma because of it. Sex, or anything else involving my penis, is pretty pleasurable–so maybe it’s less pleasurable than with foreskin, but it’s not like I can compare the two (nor do I care to). I’m happy it was done, and don’t, like–hate my parents for it.
I definitely wouldn’t call the act barbaric. Forcing it upon a child, that’s a different story. Having it doe of your own volition–no, not barbaric. No more so than plastic surgery, piercings or tattoos.
Sammy Schlipshit
@adventuretime:
We agree that any such actions should be decided by the mature male not forced on an infant.
A few years ago I ask my mom (dad was already dead) why they had me circumcised. She was clueless. From all I could gather it was just something the doctors routinely did back in the 40’s-50’s.
My dad was intact so there was no excuse about wanting me to look like him.
Unfortunately, we of the cut klan will never know what delightful, extensive pleasures we miss out on by being so exposed.
adventuretime
My REAL issue with this article is why the question had to be phrased “Which Do You Prefer?” as if that wide open question would garner anything but insulting comments and stones lobbied from either side by anonymous internet commenters who are trying to make their preference seem better by making the other one seem worse.
Opening up a dialogue on whether circumcision itself should be performed on children anymore–that’s a different topic that is maybe worth discussing, but alas…
asa1973
I just don’t agree with linking this to female genital mutilation. These women often suffer long term health risks, physical and emotional. The intention is also to prevent women from being able to experience ANY sexual pleasure, thereby solidifying their social status as existing beneath men. I may not have been able to make the decision to circumcise myself when I was a baby, but I have never felt robbed of pleasure. Ever. And if I had, I certainly wouldn’t be so grandiose as to compare it to what these women actually go through.
That said, I’m cut. Back in my day – the 80s – we were taught that being cut meant being “cleaner.” I now know that’s BS. I am glad the stigma is fading.
I like a pretty dick. And I’ve seen many – cut and uncut. I don’t really care. It it’s pretty to look at on a pretty man and feels good inside me, I’m down.
Jarrod
That’s where we’ll just have to agree to disagree, people. Call it barbarism, mutilation and any other name you may possibly think off, but I’m not going to let my boys grow up with a hooded penis that becomes rancid just 45 minutes after a shower, and so Daddy’s boys will be cut. There’s seriously nothing that anyone can do about it. You’re just going to have to accept it and move on, more especially because you don’t and won’t ever know neither me nor my boys!

A penis should never taste like soap !!!
Suck on a bar of soap if you like that flavour.
A penis should taste like a penis, try it, it’ll grow on you… just like your first beer/wine/vodka… everything should definitely NOT taste like white zinfandel…XOXOX
I’ve had people “attack” me at urinals in leather bars… begging to taste “it”… Maybe it’s just because “it’s” pretty and attached to me?
Steverino2
Grow on you?/ If a tumor grew on me I would remove it. The aroma of “head cheese” or smegma must be an acquired taste , I choose not to acquire. Must be common enough to have a name. My dearly departed sister was known as Yetta von Kraft for her taste for it.
adventuretime
@Jarrod: Just a thought–you could let them decide when they come of age. You’ll hopefully rest easier knowing that you didn’t force your child into anything he would not have wanted (like parents trying to force their children to be straight), and it’s not like they’ll be using their penises all that much before then anyway.
JonahM01
If I could choose today, I’d choose to have my foreskin intact. However, I still like what I have just fine. As far as another person–it really doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. One caveat however: I have been the receiving partner of both cut and uncut men and I will say honestly that taking an uncut penis is much easier and more pleasurable..for me. Not to imply that everyone should feel this way. Foreskin just helped everything glide and slide better…Again, for me, at least.
asa1973
Any woman who has experienced genital mutilation would likely read this thread and think we were a bunch of crybabies.
Stop connecting your or other men’s self-worth with the status of your/their penis – cut or uncut – and I think this becomes a moot issue. That’s really what it’s about.

darkanser
@VampDC:I doubt that you are. I find the verbalized prejudice towards uncircumcized dicks to be curious and laughable. growing up, I’d hear stories about adult men getting circumsized and it was suggested to me that I might want to consider getting circumsized. It was never explained why I should want this and frankly I never asked. I’d hear these similarly disparaging remarks from potential partners which seem to evaporate once the clothes started coming off. To hear some circumsized guys, you’d think being intact was some kind of deformity. I personally have no issue either way.
Silas Wegg
@Jarrod: Just curious: Are you already expecting or are your “Daddy’s boys” future plans?
Aesthetically I prefer cut, but penis is pretty far down the list of body parts I find attractive anyway.
darkanser
@Sammy Schlipshit: From what I’ve read, the most common reason, for dads anyway, to decide to have their sons circumsized — apart from religious reasons — was so their sons would look like the other boys and not feel different. You have to wonder other decisions were made based on that flimsy reasoning.
Sammy Schlipshit
@darkanser:
I hear that!!!!!!!
Just confirms my observation that most folks are truly the walking brain dead.
In my case, my dad was intact so that wasn’t a factor that affected my parents decision….or rather non-decision.
Born in 1946 it seemed to be just the thing that was automatically done at birth.
My mom doesn’t remember giving permission but unfortunately by the time I ask, her memory was already pretty faded.
My parents were not evolved, thinking people so I am sure neither of them gave it any thought at all.
darkanser
@darkanser: I intended to write ” WHAT other decisions were made…”
adventuretime
@Sammy Schlipshit: No, I really don’t think it affected me. At least, not in any way that is currently bringing my quality of life down.
Surgeries are brutal. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be performed. But…perhaps just not forced on infants.

@Steverino2:Wow!! I’m wondering how one compares not repairing a harelip or denying reading glasses to someone visually impaired to leaving an infant boy intact? Where’s the disability in being intact? Yeah, you’re right. Not a good comparison!!
Jarrod
A video of circumcision is graphic? LOL! Clearly you won’t ever become a doctor with those weak guts. That’s a very minor surgery and I’ve seen far worse and I was actually the one who drove and had my nephew’s (my big brother’s son) circumcision done a week after birth with his mother. He was asleep during the whole thing it was healed in 2-3 weeks time. My sons will also be circumcised. Babies aren’t born perfect, they’re just born clear. Perfection is a skill, one which I plan to teach my children and a whole lot more.
Silas, well, I’m a bisexual guy but I’ve been dating a woman for the past three months and I want to marry her. I want it to be artificial insemination to maximize the possibilities of multiple births preferably twins; I want twin boys, and eventually one girl. If all goes well, I should be marrying her in less than a year to come.
My father always told me that people must argue and have varying opinions of what’s right and wrong; what likable and what isn’t. It’s what makes life interesting! Tell me about the way nature intended a penis to be, and I’ll tell you about the way nature intended LIFE to be.
Pistolo
I always have a visceral reaction to foreskinphobic people, I really find it to be an ignorant and shameful belief to hold and I have zero respect for that opinion. It’s shameful and disgusting thing to trivialize such matters, to make jokes and shame men in such an intimate way. I have a foreskin and if you don’t, I won’t say you’re defective or not a full man as a result, I’ve had plenty of circumcised lovers. But I would really like it if this pervasive and illogical procedure would cease entirely for future generations because it’s simply antiquated. Phony reports that are disproven and propaganda for circumcision keeps getting debunked, also it in no way should determine a person’s devotion to faith, that’s just twisted. So let’s just stop doing it to our boys? Why can’t we JUST STOP DOING IT? Why are some people so eager to do it to begin with? It’s all about pride and not having the humility to admit it might’ve been a misstep we can move past. People don’t want to admit the increasingly overwhelming truth.

Impossible.
Sorry, you just have no credence when trying to compare a journey through life with the way a body is created….foreskin and all.
I find it amusing how rigid your plans for the future are. Good luck with your experiment with genetics.
….and I will predict you will will only make any woman miserable in marriage trying to keep up with your playing both sides of the sexual fence.

I’m actually enjoying this.
Wow! I never knew circumcision was such a huge issue, although I’ve read about this debate a few times, I just never thought it was this serious. You have no right to tell me what I should do with my kids. I’m not starving them or abusing them. Some people seriously need a hobby. I feel sorry for all the parents who feel weakened by the anti-circumcision group and feel they have no power. Hey, a parent brought that life into this world, and you have no say. Good?
What’s worse between abortion and circumcision? Precisely!
Sammy, my brother had left for Germany during that time. Should I honestly give out reasons? It wasn’t my decision — it was his parents’ (although I may admit I might have pushed for it). I was just driving them! Infants do sleep most of the time during the day, you know? What’s impossible about that?
Rigid plans? Well, shoot me for having a plan for my life.
Experiments? Every thing in life is one big experiment.
I’ll make a woman miserable by being bisexual? Does that mean I’ll also make a man miserable? Or men aren’t allowed to be bisexual because it offends gay men?
Sammy Schlipshit
@Jarrod:
OK, these are my final words. It’s supper time at my house.
Dude, you almost have a semi-valid point but then you miss it.
Sure, parents have the right to instill behavior and beliefs in their children but what you seem to be so excited about is irreversible body modification to a non-consenting infant.
….and for what? There are no logic reasons to do such a thing. That sort of drastic decision should be left to the individual to consider upon maturity.
‘parents who feel weakened’???? I see it more as unknowing folks getting the facts and education. That’s not weakening. There is strength in knowledge.
Sorry, but you are confused trying to compare abortion and circumcision. You can be for or against either but my point is those are two decisions that should be left up to the one person it most affects.
Such actions should not be up for debate among unaffected others.
….babies sleep? Well, yeah. No shit. My disbelief is in regards to you implying the kid slept during the butchering.
Not possible.
Your statements about the number, genders and your insemination crap shooting sure sound pretty rigid to me.
Wouldn’t your wife have any say so?
Woman or man….I expect you would be a handful of turmoil regardless of whom you try to settle in with.
You can be bisexual all you want. I believe such orientations are real. Just be sure you find a wife who will be OK for you coming home late from work or sneaking off on the weekends because you just gotta get a BJ.
….or will you try to find a woman/man who will participate in an ‘open’ marriage?
I dated a guy such as that once upon a time. His wife was in constant agony with trying to keep up with and adjust to his dalliances.
Good luck to ya….and good bye….signing out. I’m hungry. This back and forth is getting to be too repetitive to be enjoyable or educational.
manjoguy
I was circumcised at age 32 for purely aesthetic reasons and absolutely love it. The penis in a flaccid or erect state is so much more appealing visually when circumcised. And without foreskin, it’s much nicert to manipulate. The foreskin I had seemed to just get in the way and be a general nuisance.
Sammy Schlipshit
@manjoguy:
You precisely illustrate the point I have been espousing during all my posts.
As an adult you made your own decision.

Personally, I find almost any penis attractive but do favor foreskin…especially if it’s attached to a red head guy.

Quite false. Society has claimed the right to tell you that your female children are protected from even a pin-poke to draw one drop of blood.
While not yet recognized by law, society absolutely owes protection to defenseless male and intersex children from the same or worse abuse.
An error doesn’t become “wrong” until you piggishly defend it rather than cop to it.
Wolfwalk
I wasn’t circumcised until I was 4 years old. My foreskin simply became too tight and was causing a lot of pain. I was unusual for boys born in the Dr Spock post-WWII and pre-Vietnam era, when most boys were circumcised at birth. I do not consider it genital mutilation when it is medically necessary. And I do think that it should be done as early as possible. Being employed in a major hospital I’ve seen far too many adult men come in to be circumcised for either medical or esthetic reasons and I understand it isn’t very pleasant for them. As for preferences, I’ll side with those who say it’s who the penis is attached to that is important, cut or uncut, small, large or jumbo size. A penis has no personality of its own. The owner of the penis is everything.
Tommy
Who cares? The few I’ve seen in person have all been circumcised so thats the norm for me, but uncut could be quite hot too.

Don’t care. If cut or uncut is a deciding factor when picking a mate then you deserve to be alone.

@NiceNCool1: This is clearly bogus inasmuch as my tribe (the Jews) were circumcising before there was such a thing as Christianity. I don’t know for certain but the likelihood is that if there were a historical Jesus he was circumcised.

Strongly prefer uncut. I never really had a preference one way or another until I got together with the man who is now my husband, and he happens to be uncut. Wasn’t long before I was totally hooked. I consider myself exceptionally lucky to have snagged an uncut man in the American South. 🙂

SO wierd that people always make the connection to female genital mutilation. Do you know there is a “Female Circumcision” which is similar as “Male Circumcision”? There are multiple degrees of female circumcision, which also includes Clitoral Hood Reduction, pretty much the analog to male cicumcision.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitoral_hood_reduction
You know the difference in procedure between those 2 in some western countries? Female circumcision is done with the patient’s consent, male is not….
Especially after it already has been disproven that Circumcision helps against penile cancer(humbug)and proven that one of the densest nerve areas on the penis is the inside of the hood(nerve sensitivity is kinda important on a penis, you know..) it astounds me that some doctors still perform that surgery without ANY viable reson to do so. So glad that in some countries doctors already refuse to perform that procedure just because the parents want it. Do it yourself or go to a religious fanatic to cut the penis of your child, but don’t expect a professional to do it just cause you want him/her to.
ddean
Being uncut I think it’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard to cut part of a organ off the body . I’ve been with both and definitely love uncut. I was the middle of 3 boys and I was the only one uncut. My mom said the doctor decided because mine was too much skin in in his words. So he decided to keep. Whew!! Got lucky!
woodin
circumcision got its big push for hygiene reason. Now a days it should be left uncut. Doesn’t matter to me either way, but religions that make a “tradition” ceremony out of it is barbaric and primitive at best. Some religions orally clean the wound after circumcision and if that isn’t purely primitive and revolting, then nothing is.
petensfo
I prefer uncut, it’s more pleasing during receptive anal sex. Sometimes when people suck my dic they grip & pull too tightly & I have pain. That never happens w/ uncut guys. I’ve often had to remind uncut lovers that I don’t have a foreskin. I always have to use a lot more lube for everything.
As for that aroma or taste issue… it’s a non-issue. I promise you I’ve had more uncut dic than any of you & I’ve only twice encountered a person that needed to freshen up. Besides, it’s a very personal, optional surgery, that should be made by an adult when it’s time. My mom regrets that she ‘did as told’ in those days.

circumcision, obsessive body hair removal, baby shaven faces, overplucked eyebrows, unnaturally muscle grow, over-accesoried outfit .. you name it… all stupid, unnecessary, unnatural, unmasculine and a definitive a turn off for me

I’ve had many cut and uncut penises, probably 50/50. Of those, I would say more *cut* dicks were a bit smelly than uncut ones. To be honest, even in those cases I didn’t mind the smell, which I find kind of hot.
What kills me are the bi or straight guys who are so prissy about (false) notions of dick hygiene while at the same time being totally okay with eating pussy or considering anal with their girlfriends as the ultimate treat.

@Wolfwalk: “Being employed in a major hospital I’ve seen far too many adult men come in to be circumcised for either medical or esthetic reasons…”
I think you may be influenced by what is called “selection bias.” Working in the hospital, you see only the one guy in 10,000 (say) who may have a medical problem, and not the other 9,999 who don’t, so the problem looks bigger to you than it is. Esthetic really doesn’t count, since nobody knows the infant’s future esthetic preferences – many cut prefer to have been uncut also. As for your own past problem with phimosis (unretractable foreskin), it is very suspicious that they would have operated at 4 years – about 70% of 5 year olds’ foreskins haven’t become retractable yet, and they should never be forcibly retracted – often when ignorant parents try to do so is when injury occurs.
AS for medical “necessity,” ignorant doctors are also an issue here in the U.S., I was once told by a urologist here that I should be circumcised because of a slight yeast infection, which was curable in two days with an over the counter cream. No urologist outside the U.S. would dream of recommending circumcision for something like this. I am highly educated, but I can just imagine how many uneducated immigrants are conned into unnecessary circumcisions this way, ending up in your hospital.
A secretary at my work recently went through a huge trauma when her baby grandson bled out after circumcision. Because I am not a jerk, I didn’t tell her what I thought about it all, but all I could think was how barbaric, and how unnecessary.

@vive: This Jarrod person is clearly a troll. Look at how much attention he’s gotten, and he’s clearly getting off of it. At this point he should just be ignored.

@stanhope: Most of your semen does not come from you testicles, so–it probably wouldn’t really affect the amount he could shoor

I’m sorry if I offended your hoods, people. I simply like what I like!
A clean shaven man, neat and most importantly cut! I love a man who smells good. The inevitable rancid dick-cheese doesn’t exactly smell amazing to me, and would never want to taste it, especially taking into consideration the fact that there’s NOTHING natural about oral sex which most guys want; hell, ain’t nothing natural about anal if you know anything about the anatomy, but we do it anyway. Even if he cleans, the look, FOR ME, is a huge turnoff. I can’t begin to imagine the taste but um…Yuck! I don’t even watch porn if one guy is uncut. Just keep the politics out of my life and my porn, and we’re A for Away. Until now, I’ve never really thought about it but it’s always been not for me.
Disagreeing and hating something doesn’t mean someone’s trolling. You like uncut? Yippee! Then why does someone else liking something else offend you?
MMDD
@Jarrod: The first word you posted in this thread was “anteater.” You could have expressed your opinion in a multitude of other ways without starting off with an insult to intact men everywhere. (Imagine if I had started off a thread calling women “fish” or straights “breeders.”) You are a troll and, on top of that, a homophobe. Get married to a woman and just go away. Oh, by the way, oral sex is my absolutely favorite part of my sex life with my uncut husband. He looks, tastes, and smells amazing. The head of his penis is smooth, moist, and extra-sensitive, and he always cums from oral alone. The only thing that’s “yuck” is your ignorance.

Cut is the only way!

“Cutting off the foreskin of a child was often aimed at making masturbation painful. Dr Harvey Kellogg, famous American health reformer and brother of the breakfast-cereal magnate, boasted of his success with that method, declaring that the pain and discomfort caused by the surgery would cure a boy of this vice forever.”
I’m cut but I definitely prefer uncut.
nineinchnail
To be honest it doesnt matter to me as long as they look attractive.

@Jarrod:
Rancid 45 minutes after a shower? Are you basing that on your personal experience with winos at the homeless shelter?
Paco
The only preference I have between cut and uncut, is that they practice good hygiene.
MrNiceGuy
@Jarrod: What exactly do you mean by certain sexual positions not being “natural”? Anal sex, oral sex, masturbation are all things that occur in the animal kingdom, and from a objective standpoint, we, humans, are just as much a part of the animal kingdom as any monkey, pig, or fish. Yes, we are much smarter, but we we still have equally complex and varying sexual desires.
And no, the fact that oral or anal sex doesn’t produce children doesn’t make those acts unnatural. They occur in nature and they are therefore natural. Only the illiterate or religious would tell you otherwise… and maybe the self-hating individuals who roam this planet.
The educated stance on circumcision: neither cut or uncut is disgusting, but the cut one is more likely to be less sensitive, and therefore we should have every man decide for himself (by law), not his parents.
But if you can’t have sex with a guy because of the lack or presence of his foreskin, then you’ve got some serious issues. Sure, take a stance and have a presence, but you can’t seriously be running around dumping guys because their junk doesn’t look exactly like you want it? If so, I’m sure you’d dump a guy if his ears are too pointy, his gut a little too big, or his ass a little too flat? I’m sad to inform you, but you are on a one way train to Forever Alone and Unhappy Land.
Newsflash: the guys you will fall in love or hook up with are real human beings, not perfect porn stars, and they will have real imperfect penises.
Get over yourself!
Jarrod
I keep getting these comments’ notifications; I’ll just un-mark it so I stop receiving them because I’ve done enough arguing on this tedious subject to last me a lifetime, and yet there are people who’ve dedicated their lives to it. Oh, well! Beautiful earth!
MrNiceGuy, which is why I said if you know anything about the anatomy. The body isn’t designed for it, and we just can’t deny that — it’s a fact. The sphincter muscle is designed to let things out, not in. The anal cavity can’t lubricate itself for easy penetration. Teeth are painful on a dick, so … The vagina is designed for this. It won’t accidentally scrape your dick like teeth would if done by someone inexperienced.
I don’t know about you, but some of the things you mentioned DO play a role. I don’t want a guy with a big belly. I want a guy with this and that. Why should I compromise? I’m not perfect and don’t want perfect either because it doesn’t exist but I’m not too politically correct, and I’m very outspoken and verbal about what I want in my life. There’s nothing wrong with it.
NoCagada
I just can’t understand how anybody thinks they have the right to make that decision on another human being.

@Jarrod
No one is denying your preference, this very article is asking about it. What baffles the people here is while you cry about your wants, you totally ignore it about others, especially your maybe baby sons. Why should they compromise? Because you are their father and want their dicks to look like your ideal of a perfect penis, which on its own is a very disturbing and creepy thought btw…
It has nothing to do with political correctness. Why can’t you wait till your imaginary boys are older and then open up the idea about circumcision? If they would ever regret your decision, it would be their problem to bear, cause you can’t undo it. Also, if they bring it up, what could you possibly say to defend yourself? “Deal with it!” or something like that I guess, or “This is how I like dicks to look..”
babybabybaby
I like cut….. but… i would not turn down a thick piece of uncut meat either…
Swallower
I have no preference for cut or uncut, I myself am cut, but what matters to me more is if the guy is my “type”, which has to do way more with a man’s personality than his looks anyway?
Greg Garavani
Mmm uncut.
onthemark
The relatively few uncut ones I’ve seen have been beautiful! And maybe ALL those guys just happened to be above-average clean freaks, but no problem there. I think we can ignore Jarrod’s vivid imagination.
rayscooby
I am cut but am planning on restoring my foreskin. I want my man to be uncut.
Sweet Boy
Uncut….clean….and hard
MMDD
@onthemark: I’ve never seen an uncut penis that I wouldn’t classify as beautiful. For what it’s worth, most of the cut penises I’ve seen I’d classify as beautiful too.
@Sweet Boy: Yes….yes….and yes! 🙂
JaredNorthcutt30
@Jarrod Your posts make you sound like pervy child molester. Oh, I’m going to snip my sons because I like cut penises. You shouldn’t be reproducing, asshole. Get a dog.
Greg
@Billy Budd: Then why did you do it?
Greg
@Jarrod: It’s your attitude and the way you say things that rub people the wrong way. You sound like a bitchy queen. I doubt you would ever have any sons. Your understanding of the male anatomy also makes it seem like you are self-loathing. Don’t get a dog either.

I suspect that Jarrod is not just a troll but a circumfetishist. (“I was actually the one who drove and had my nephew’s … circumcision done …. He was asleep during the whole thing.” – implying he watched the whole thing.)
http://www.circumstitions.com/fetish.html
MrNiceGuy, no harm in having a preference. A preference for amputees is called apotemnophilia. Acucullophilia, the condition of being sexually aroused only by circumcised males, might be considered a subset of that. There doesn’t seem to be a name for people who prefer their partners to have hands or feet, but it’s probably quite common.
I don’t know why that article is even being mentioned here: it interviewed three women and two men, both cut, and one of the men had never had sex with a man, the other with a grand total of ONE intact man. Most gay men would have had more experience of foreskins than that.
VicIsMe85
@kofender: You know that circumcision isn’t entirely necessary in the Jewish religion these days. Plenty of Jewish people’s views are changing, a high number of Jewish parents are having a ceremony called Brit Shalom instead of a Brit Milah. Which is basically a naming ceremony.
VicIsMe85
I prefer Uncut and am totally against circumcision, However I won’t say no to a guy just because he is cut.
ousooner1997
foreskin is nasty. IF there’s hood on the wood it aint no good. Lol. cut it.
Kangol
UNCUT!
jigs
Well I’m cut but my bf has a semi cut dick. It’s gorgeous in that the foreskin doesn’t cover his head so i guess I like having the best of both even though I’m the top.
DesertSun
Cut is better. Just what I’m used to I guess.
chris
Uncut – all the way……it’s genital mutilation even if the person consents – why mutilate yourself. If you are religious surely you accept and believe that God, Yaweh, Mohammed made you in his likeness so by cutting off bits aren’t you disrespecting your creator.
Clark35
I prefer a penis that’s intact with a foreskin, and unmutilated.
Thetank
I strongly disagree with genital cutting being forced on minors without any medical need since they cannot give informed consent. But if I’m with a guy it’s for a lot more than just his penis. I don’t have a preference for my partner. As long as he’s happy with what he’s packing, I’m happy. And most guys who are circumcised had it done to them while they were babies. You can’t hold being cut against them. Most of them had no choice. The only preference I have is for my own penis. I would have left it intact, but unfortunately I was born in the 80s in the north east and circumcision was so prevalent there at that time. It’s all part of the game of life. I’m working on uncircumcising myself. I’m interested to see how things end up.
bigdddy
I feel like it’s best to stop the underage circumcising. I’m cut, and there’s a lot of negative body image propaganda being spread by everyone about circumcised penises. We feel great pleasure during sex. Our dicks are still attractive. And it seems to me that we tend to be the more rational group, not feeling as though we need to constantly lash out at the other or be condescending, passive aggressive, and vindictive. Uncut men are really very feminine. Hopefully this will phase out, it’s embarrassing. I’m willing to bet a fair amount of people who normally prefer uncut would choose cut instead depending on other features, such as size and shape. Most men who brag about being uncut probably have small penises.
