Weāre quite a few months away from any major Jewish holidays, but that didnāt stop Heābro, the social group for gay Jewish men and their friends, from hosting Cut, a Pride month party at New York nightclub Slate on June 2.
Hmm, we have to wonder: Was the name of the bash a reference to the Jewish ritual of circumcision or the abs of the go-go boys shaking their knishes on the bar?
Either way, mazel tov guys.

@Bailey: Oh my, Balley, forget to take your anti-psycho meds?
“Jews killed Jesus, just sayin” AND “God is a lie” — symptom of split-personality disorder, or just stupid?
Ummm, and then there is the wonderful stupidity of:
The guy who shows off his anti-semite bigotry with “Jews killed Jesus” then label the guy who calls you out as an anti-semite bigot as the nazi.
Yep, TROLL ALERT

HEY PEOPLE JESUS WAS A JEW AND DIED A JEW

Here’s what I don’t get–so-called christians hate jews because they killed jesus.
yet they claim god is all knowing, and has planned everything out to the nth degree.
so, the jews were simply doing what god wanted them to do.
In fact, if they didn’t kill jesus, someone else would have to have done it, otherwise, there would be no “died for my sins” bullshit.
so, instead of hating jews, you should venerate them–they willingly played their part in bringing about what christians call salvation.
of course that’s way too practical an outlook for a religion that drinks blood and eats flesh and hates on gay people for sport…
MikeE
@MAP: except “the Jews” did not kill Jesus. that’s a gross generalization.
it’s like saying “the Americans killed Abraham Lincoln”.
biscuit_batter
my ex bf was a jew for jesus (yes they do exist). religion should not matter but if gay jews want to socialize with other gay jews, that’s cool with me:)
Riker
@MAP: Technically it was the Romans that killed Jesus. The Jews just chose not to spare him.
Also, i’m not sure that male genital mutilation is the best thing to name a party after.

How did some fluffy eye candy turn into jew bashing and hate? Guess its just never too far below the surface, like homophobia. J/S

Jews are very homophobic, against LGBT rights, and Jewish men are not hot.

Many people think circumcision removes nothing more than a little extra skin. The truth is that circumcision removes several critical components of male sexual anatomy. This list enumerates everything currently known to be lost when one is circumcised. Included are notes on whether these losses can or cannot be amended by foreskin restoration.
The information contained in this list may be upsetting to some, but we feel it is important and necessary for those considering restoration to understand as fully as possible the anatomy/biology/neurology of what has been removed and/or destroyed.
It should be pointed out that circumcisions performed in North America may be more severe than those done elsewhere. In the United States, most hospital circumcisions are done to the Bris Periah standard of removing every ounce of foreskin and, in a large percentage of cases, some shaft skin.
Although several of the items in this list are not restorable, there are many significant gains to be realized by restoring one’s foreskin. For information on these gains, please see the Benefits page.
Please note that although circumcision and foreskin restoration involve issues of physical health and well-being, nothing appearing on this website is intended to be medical advice. If you want medical advice or have a medical problem, contact a doctor.
Foreskin
The foreskin comprises roughly 50% (and sometimes more) of the mobile skin system of the penis. If unfolded and spread out flat, the average adult foreskin would measure about 15 square inches – the size of a three-by-five index card. This highly specialized tissue normally covers the glans and protects it from abrasion, drying, callusing (also called keratinization), and contaminants of all kinds.
Click here to view an animated graphic illustrating foreskin mobility.
We refer to the process we undergo as foreskin restoration but we don’t actually grow new foreskins. What we do instead is to extend the remaining skin on the shaft of the penis. The non-surgical techniques we use induce the skin to grow additional cells, and over a period of time the shaft skin will gradually extend to cover the glans. The extended skin looks and behaves and functions much like a natural foreskin.

Frenar Band, or
Ridged Band The frenar band is a group of soft ridges near the junction of the inner and outer foreskin. This region is the primary erogenous zone of the intact male body. Loss of this delicate belt of densely innervated, sexually responsive tissue reduces the fullness and intensity of sexual response.
There is no known method of restoring the frenar band.
[Source: Taylor, J. R. et al., “The Prepuce: Specialized Mucosa of the Penis and Its Loss to Circumcision,” British Journal of Urology 77 (1996): 291-295.]
Gliding Action The foreskin’s gliding action is a hallmark feature of the normal, natural, intact penis. This non-abrasive gliding of the penis in and out of its own shaft skin facilitates smooth, comfortable, pleasurable intercourse for both partners. Without this gliding action, the corona of the circumcised penis can function as a one-way valve, making artificial lubricants necessary for comfortable intercourse.
The return of this natural gliding action is one of the primary benefits of foreskin restoration. In many cases, wives of restoring men were initially doubtful about restoration but came to value it highly when their husbands had grown enough new skin to effect greater levels of comfort and pleasure during intercourse.
[Source: P. M. Fleiss, MD, MPH, “The Case Against Circumcision,” Mothering: The Magazine of Natural Family Living (Winter 1997): 36-45.]
Meissner’s Corpuscles Circumcision removes the most important sensory component of the foreskin – thousands of coiled fine-touch receptors called Meissner’s corpuscles. Also lost are branches of the dorsal nerve, and between 10,000 and 20,000 specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types. Together these detect subtle changes in motion and temperature, as well as fine gradations in texture.
There is no known method of restoring Meissner’s corpuscles or other specialized sensory nerve cells. However, restoring and restored men almost universally experience tremendous increases in sensitivity, in part because the highly sensitive nerve cells in the glans are no longer buried under several layers of keratinized skin.
[Sources: 1. R. K. Winkelmann, “The Erogenous Zones: Their Nerve Supply and Its Significance,” Proceedings of the Staff Meetings of the Mayo Clinic 34 (1959): 39-47. 2. R. K. Winkelmann, “The Cutaneous Innervation of Human Newborn Prepuce,” Journal of Investigative Dermatology 26 (1956): 53-67.]
Frenulum The frenulum is a highly erogenous V-shaped structure on the underside of the glans that tethers the foreskin. During circumcision it is frequently either amputated with the foreskin or severed, which destroys or diminishes its sexual and physiological functions.
If the frenulum is amputated, there is no known method of replacing it. If only a small portion of the frenulum is left, it is probably no longer functional as a tethering structure. There is no known method of attaching it to a restored foreskin, but some men have reported stretching the frenulum remnant as they stretched their foreskin.

Dartos Fascia Circumcision removes approximately half of this temperature-sensitive smooth muscle sheath which lies between the outer layer of skin and the corpus cavernosa.
There is no known method of restoring amputated portions of the dartos fascia. However, the new skin may duplicate dartos fascia muscle tissue if it is present in the remnant skin that is being stretched.
[Source: Netter, F.H., “Atlas of Human Anatomy,” Second Edition (Novartis, 1997): Plates 234, 329, 338, 354, 355.]
Immunological System The soft mucosa (inner foreskin) contains its own immunological defense system which produces plasma cells. These cells secrete immunoglobulin antibodies as well as antibacterial and antiviral proteins, including the pathogen killing enzyme lysozyme.
Once removed with the foreskin, there is no known method of restoring this immunological defense system.

Lymphatic Vessels The loss of these vessels due to circumcision reduces the lymph flow within that part of the body’s immune system.
While some lymphatic vessels remain, there is no known method of restoring those that were removed during circumcision.
[Source: Netter, F.H., “Atlas of Human Anatomy,” Second Edition (Novartis, 1997): plate 379.]
Estrogen Receptors The presence of estrogen receptors within the foreskin has only recently been discovered. Their purpose is not yet understood and needs further study.
There is no known method of restoring the foreskin’s estrogen receptors.
[Source: R. Hausmann et al., “The Forensic Value of the Immunohistochemical Detection of Oestrogen Receptors in Vaginal Epithelium,” International Journal of Legal Medicine 109 (1996): 10-30.]
Apocrine Glands These glands of the inner foreskin produce pheromones – nature’s powerful, silent, invisible behavioral signals to potential sexual partners. The effect of their absence on human sexuality has never been studied.
There is no known method of restoring apocrine glands to the penis.
[Source: A. Ahmed and A. W. Jones, “Apocrine Cystadenoma: A Report of Two Cases Occurring on the Prepuce,” British Journal of Dermatology 81 (1969): 899-901.]
Sebaceous Glands The sebaceous glands may lubricate and moisturize the foreskin and glans, which is normally a protected internal organ. Not all men have sebaceous glands on their inner foreskin.
There is no known method of restoring sebaceous glands if they were present..
[Source: A. B. Hyman and M. H. Brownstein, “Tyson’s Glands: Ectopic Sebaceous Glands and Papillomatosis Penis,” Archives of Dermatology 99 (1969): 31-37.]
Langerhans Cells These specialized epithelial cells are a component of the immune system in the penis.
There is no known method of restoring Langerhans cells to the penis.
[Source: G. N. Weiss et al., “The Distribution and Density of Langerhans Cells in the Human Prepuce: Site of a Diminished Immune Response?” Israel Journal of Medical Sciences 29 (1993): 42-43.]
Natural Glans Coloration The natural coloration of the glans and inner foreskin (usually hidden and only visible to others when sexually aroused) is considerably more intense than the permanently exposed and keratinized coloration of a circumcised penis. The socio-biological function of this visual stimulus has never been studied.
The glans ranges from pink to red to dark purple among intact men of Northern European ancestry, and from pinkish to mahagony to dark brown among intact men of Color. If circumcision is performed on an infant or young boy, the connective tissue which protectively fuses the foreskin and glans together is ripped apart. This leaves the glans raw and subject to infection, scarring, pitting, shrinkage, and eventual discoloration. Over a period of years the glans becomes keratinized, adding additional layers of tissue in order to adequately protect itself, which further contributes to discoloration.
Many restoring men report dramatic changes in glans color and appearance, and that these changes closely mirror the natural coloration and smooth, glossy appearance of the glans seen in intact men.
[Source: P. M. Fleiss, MD, MPH, “The Case Against Circumcision,” Mothering: The Magazine of Natural Family Living (Winter 1997): 36-45.]
Length and Circumference Circumcision removes some of the length and girth of the penis – its double-layered wrapping of loose and usually overhanging foreskin is removed. A circumcised penis is truncated and thinner than it would have been if left intact.
Many men have kept detailed records of their measurements before, during, and after restoration. There is an increasing consensus that foreskin restoration enhances penile length and circumference.
[Source: R. D. Talarico and J. E. Jasaitis, “Concealed Penis: A Complication of Neonatal Circumcision,” Journal of Urology 110 (1973): 732-733.]
Blood Vessels Several feet of blood vessels, including the frenular artery and branches of the dorsal artery, are removed in circumcision. The loss of this rich vascularization interrupts normal blood flow to the shaft and glans of the penis, damaging the natural function of the penis and altering its development.
There is no known method of restoring arteries and vessels that were removed during circumcision. However, many restoring men have noticed that the new skin is more richly vascularized than the older skin of their penis. We have no medical explanation for this phenomenon.
[Sources: 1. H. C. Bazett et al., “Depth, Distribution and Probable Identification in the Prepuce of Sensory End-Organs Concerned in Sensations of Temperature and Touch; Thermometric Conductivity,” Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry 27 (1932): 489-517. 2. Netter, F.H., “Atlas of Human Anatomy,” Second Edition (Novartis, 1997): plates 238, 239.]
Dorsal Nerves The terminal branch of the pudendal nerve connects to the skin of the penis, the prepuce, the corpora cavernosa, and the glans. Destruction of these nerves is a rare but devastating complication of circumcision. If cut during circumcision, the top two-thirds of the penis will be almost completely without sensation.
There is no known method of restoring dorsal nerves.

Other Losses ā¢ Circumcision performed during infancy disrupts the bonding process between child and mother. There are indications that the innate sense of trust in intimate human contact is inhibited or lost. It can also have significant adverse effects on neurological development. Additionally, an infant’s self-confidence and hardiness is diminished by forcing the newborn victim into a defensive psychological state of “learned helplessness” or
“acquired passivity” to cope with the excruciating pain which he can
neither fight nor flee. The trauma of this early pain lowers a circumcised boy’s pain threshold below that of intact boys and girls
[Sources: 1. R. Goldman, Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma (Boston: Vanguard Publications, 1997), 139-175. 2. A. Taddio et al., “Effect of Neonatal Circumcision on Pain Responses during Vaccination in Boys,” Lancet 345 (1995): 291-292.]
ā¢ Every year some boys lose their entire penises from circumcision accidents and infections. They are then “sexually reassigned” by castration and transgender surgery, and are expected to live their lives as females.

Sigmundson, “Sex Reassignment at Birth: Long-Term Review and Clinical Implications,” Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine 151 (1997): 298-304.]
ā¢ Every year many boys in the United States and elsewhere lose their lives as a result of circumcision – a fact that is routinely ignored or obscured.

@Matt: You are just a fucking anti semite bigot.
Neither of the two Jewish boyfriends I have had were homophobic nor their very loving and including families.
Conservative Judaism (Mainstream and largest assembly in the US) and the American Orthodox Judaism (second largest Jewish assembly) both offer same-sex marriages and blessing and both ordain gay rabbis.
So STFU when you know dipshit about a topic, dipshit!

@shannon:
Shannon, usually I like what you have to say, but your comment was actually a ranting conspiracy theory.
Ashkanazi Jews are European or German Jews and did not exist at the Time of Christ. The Jews back then were all a middle eastern/african people and Jesus would have looked just like anybody else.
Seriously, before you go off on something like that you really need to check your facts.

This is a NOM troll. Remember, the files taken from NOM prove that their stated goal was to drive a wedge between other minority groups and gays.
They come onto sites like this and try to make claims like this guy is making. That is why you also get the weird comments on posts about blacks etc… They are trolls folks.

This is a PERFECT example of how stupid trolls are. Lance, first of all you haven’t been to Isreal. This is exactly what the trolls always try to say “As a gay man” or “As a Democrat” before they say something anti-gay etc….
Secondly, Jews are semites also…which, you know, you would know if you had actually been there. And of course you left out the fact that Palestine, the country you defend has laws on the books that has being gay listed as a crime with 10 years prison time.

@The Real Mike in Asheville:
Mike, two corrections.
One, the largest two movements are Reform and Conservative (together, they comprise about 80% of affiliated Jews). They (and the much smaller Reconstructionist movement) are in favor of same-sex marriage and ordain gay clergy. Conservative rabbis and congregations can decide that same-sex unions collide with their practice. The Reform and Reconstructionist movements call for full inclusion of gay people.
The Orthodox groups are opposed to same-sex marriage. There is at least one gay Modern Orthodox rabbi, but he’s probably pretty much unique as an out, ordained Orthodox Jew. The Orthodox comprise about 15% of American Jews. Imagine how things would be like if only 15% of American Christians opposed gay rights.

BTW, I don’t suppose anyone knows if A.J. Hammer is Jewish? I thought he was when he first came to my attention 17 years ago when he veejayed on VH1. Or, does anyone know if he’s gay? I kind of got the impression that he is, but what I know is that it was never confirmed. A.J. Hammer graced the cover of some gay magazine back in the 90’s, and I’ve got a copy of it somewhere around here, but even in the article, the interviewer was vague about it.
Was this exclusive to Jewish men only, or was it opened to their admirers as well?
