YouTube comic Michael Henry’s latest video finds him exploring a topic that many gay men seem to have a strong opinion about.
Do you prefer a ‘cut’ or ‘uncut’ dick?
In the video, Henry is chatting with three friends. He reveals he’s a big fan of foreskin, while another of his friends says he has a Ph.D. in the subject.
His other two friends are unimpressed, saying they happily pass on uncut guys. One says he thinks it’s, um, “unnatural” not to be circumcised.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Henry says that although he likes men uncut, he does find that they can be over-sensitive in that area.
Circumcision is known to reduce sensitivity around the head of the penis – one of the reasons advocates suggest babies are not automatically snipped soon after birth.

Henry also says the lack of uncut men in the US makes it alluring.
“Where I’m from, everyone was circumcised, so whenever I found one that wasn’t, it was like a delicacy.”
His friends counter that uncut dicks are “dirty”, “unclean” and “gross”. However, Mr. Ph.D. argues that a daily shower (which people probably didn’t take in olden times) negates this.
Circumcision has for decades been far more popular in the US and several other countries. As Henry points out, the rate in the US is around 76-92% of men, compared to 20% in the rest of the world. For this and more facts, check out the video below.
When it comes to circumcision, do you have a strong preference either way? And are you happy with your own circumcision status?

It really doesn’t matter, as long as the person showers every day, it’s fine. You can get “dirty”, “unclean” and “gross” even if you’re cut… The only thing I’ll say is, if you’re uncut, don’t forget to pull back the foreskin before pissing. Other than that, both are clean exactly the same.

Cut or uncut, I prefer them meaty, beaty, big & bouncy. Oh, and pink.

For those not in the know, pink is code for whites online.

I like both. I don’t care about size. Some guys are so big, I’ve asked them to stand over there and pose.

I like my sandwiches uncut my men..cut..

Cut, please and thank you.
If he’s crazy hot I can make uncut work but it’s like having a second job or being a parent to have to continually make sure it is washed for use, and I already have a job and don’t want children.

I have no preference. Uncut guys are fun at parties, you can use their foreskins as shot glasses. Dick shot, foreskin shots are just a couple of names that goes by. As long as they’re clean and rinse well. I had that experience where an uncut guy did use soap but didn’t rinse too well. Nasty getting your mouth washed out with soap via dick.

This conversation is so silly. Preference is everything, but you Americans need to remember the rest of the world eschews circumcision, for the most part. Any clean person will have a clean dick. I’m sensing a kind of Puritanism here. Uncut is the most natural and the most pleasurable. I do consider it genital mutilation, myself.

“The rest of the world”? There’s probably around a billion Muslim men out there alone, and they ALL circumcise, so even if there was nobody else, writing off a billion men as somehow not counting is… a choice. I think you mean “white people”.
Raphael
@Zenzuva 1 to 8 is not that much.

@zenzuva, unless you’re including women in your estimate of the world population it’s more like a 1/4 of the male population, so your billion maybe correct based on a 50/50 ratio.

Did you forget the Muslim world? Both Muslims and Jews circumcise, as do large swaths of Christian Africa. It’s hardly a “silly” conversation, but your comments, including the “genital mutilation” assessment, just might fit that bill.

The Muslim insistence on circumcision is hardly a recommendation, any more than the Jewish insistence. It’s demented religious/superstitious/cultural ignorance over medical science. We’ve known for decades that circumcision offers zero benefits in terms of health and hygiene. We also know that the potential harm is significant, with complications leading to very serious outcomes in an alarming number of circumcisions. And we know that circumcision reduces sensitivity. It’s amazing that we’ve almost universally arrived at the understanding that female circumcision is abhorrent and detestable, but male circumcision still gets a pass. It makes no sense.

i don’t have a preference. i work with either one.
Terrycloth
Euro porn is a big thing now..I don’t enjoy it because uncut turns me off..British guys are hot and love the accent but woukdnt want to be sexual with any of them.ecause they don’t circumsize..or it’s rare..anyone I’m interested in I ask.im nice about it why waste your time ..like don’t you ask if they are a top or bottom.also like to know if they are into kink I like no surprises..went to one guys place he came out of his room in full leather i.laughed it was funny to me that’s not even.a turn on.left me with a soft on I left and said goodnight

I mean, cut just looks more attractive… Ive experienced both but would honestly pick a cut guy over an uncut one if all other factors were equal.
Raphael
If we are talking about appearance, then I don’t know how people find cut more attractive… You have a thin “stick” with a larger “ball” in the end, instead of a uniformly shaped figure, a bicolored dick, a visible scar, keratinization of the head, which usually leaves it “spotted” with dots of different colors; and more than once, I’ve seen a little part of the head get “attached” to the shaft of the penis, which looks ugly and painful… So, how in the world is THAT more attractive!?!? It makes absolutely no sense.

I’m with @Joshooeer, on the the religious/cultural issues of the muslims and others. Personally, ok with both cut/uncut.
ridgelineranger
Uncut, and the more foreskin, the more I like it. I like them with a little flavor…Yeah, I said that.
