This is BitchOnAStick's fault because of her blog on penises.  She made ME start thinking about penises.  Plus, I just like the word penis. 

Anyway, it made me think about penises.  There are different kinds of penises, long, short, thin, fat, average, circumcised, uncircumcised, etc.  And I have to say, that I feel really sorry for any guy that is circumcised- and yes, I do realize this means most guys.

But seriously, I would be pissed off if I was a guy and my parents had me circumcised when I was a baby (this discludes circumcision for religious reasons- you guys are your own breed).  That little bit of skin that was savagely cut from your body contained a huge amount of nerves (called stretch receptors that fire when rolled, massaged or stretched).  It means major increased sensitivity, which usually slows things down (over stimulation isn't fun) so you last longer before ejaculation. 

Guys with foreskin don't need to use any lubrication to masturbate because the foreskin provides protection from friction as well.  Less money used on hand lotion there!

Of course, you'll have both sides of the coin arguing over protection against infection- the pro-circumcision people will tell you that the foreskin traps bacteria, while the anti-circ side will tell you that it PROTECTS against infection because the foreskin can cover the entire head of the penis.  I don't see why foreskin would cause more infections if you just take normal care of it (aka washing under the foreskin on a regular basis when you shower).  Also, the uncut penis can grow to a larger size because there is about twice as much skin there to stretch full of blood.

I married a man who is uncut, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  We've agreed that should we have a boy, we will NOT allow him to be circumcised.  Have you ever seen a baby circumcised?  It's barbaric!  They stretch that poor guy's foreskin up and slice it off with a scalpel.  The baby doesn't cry directly after the procedure is done because he's gone into a mild shock from the pain of those nerve endings being cut away. 

So, yeah, small, somewhat informative rant just to say that I feel bad for the penises with no foreskin.  You guys got robbed.
