PROUD of a foreskin??????
Please. The true reactions are going to range from being envious to wanting to taste it. That's just how it is. There might be a few who will think "eewww....gross", but they will be in the minority and fuck them anyway because there's always - ALWAYS - going to be someone saying "eeewww" about something .
I have always considered circumcision or boys for other than medical reasons to be Male Genial Mutilation and as reprehensible as Femal Genital Mutilation.
What responsible adults do with their bodies is, however, entirely their own business.
If one is going to judge your whole life on where you are cut or uncut, then what are you saying about yourself? To make comments about another guys genitals of which he had no choice in the matter at birth is really shallow. It's like we have a choice of our toes, ears, nose or any other part, it's in our genes. Yes there is now methods to change some to make it look 'prefect' or 'right', but those that make it better than another? Grow up and accept what you have as it been you. To make yourself feel better or less of an individual because of a body part, then you'll never be happy with yourself. The penis is there for two things, one to flow water from your body needs to get ride of, and another for pleasure in continuing the human race...
Other than the spelling and the lack of English grammar I would say the stupidity of this thread."I'm PROUD(?) I'm circumcised.""I'm PROUD(?) I'm NOT circumcised."WTF is there to be PROUD about?It's a penis.It is used MOSTLY to empty the bladder of urine.Find something else to make you feel proud.
The vast, absolutely staggering, immense and conclusive body of medical, sociological, biological and psychological research on the topic of penises and self esteem of males establishes that a man's penis is important to him, both in terms of his pleasure, his social status, and in how he perceives himself in relation to his peers. This isn't contentious, it's reality for most of us. I remember the bullying around it, the shame, the fear of being exposed, of thinking it, I were evil and corrupt because that is what aspects of my culture told me. What my male and female relatives told me.
Circumcision is a sacred ritual in the Jewish and Muslim faiths (I am not advocating for the process nor condemning religion), and these cultural rituals have meaning to those who practice them. And the medical establishment picked this stuff up and ran with it (we still see someone chiming in that foreskins are inherently dirty and need removal once a thread). The distinction between the man with the circ and without lies across class and cultural faultlines and it is significant to many, many men, who are suffering as a result. You see it in the thread, with one guy thinking he needs to cut off part of his body for being ugly!!! My goodness, the point of this vaunted naturism of austerity you all preach is ostensibly body pride and body acceptance, but wanting to cut part of your body off is the sign of a trauma and that is sad.
The OP is also ashamed, as are a number of other posters. So for those expressing pride, which falls again along cultural faultlines, they are expressing the attitude of gratitude against their experience of not being proud of their penis or other body parts. Yes, until we erase the conditions that create shame and guilt over something natural and important, we cannot call for an end to pride, which is also an end to fixing the shame. For many men who are new to this, their penis paranoia is emotionally crippling. It does no good to say ignore the thing (penis) it's pretty much useless, because there is apparently an aversion to even a scientific discussion of the topic.
What I find most distressing for your posting as a man is that you draw attention to the waste voiding function while ignoring the life creating pleasure giving, love bonding aspects that are what makes this organ special for men and women too. Special does not mean "objectified" or "pronographic". It means gential. As in creation. Telling men who already think their penis is useless and ugly that indeed, it is, and just pretend none of a whole social reality and body of work exists so we can "shudder" not have to have a discussion about male genitals and instead ignore the question, ignore the topic and say let's just pretend.
I know the site is filled with threads on cocks. I know for some of you it's tedious. I know that a lot of discussion is certainly across a line, but there is also a huge number of very new people who don't understand lots of nuance that others do and maybe lets support them?
