Circumcised?

With the majority of people here at pegym being from the US Btufts the results of this poll don't surprise me. Neither does the fact that more cut people wish they weren't than uncut wish they were.

Sample size is too small to draw any conclusions about general population in regards to what I bolded. A sample size of 38, with a devation from the mean of 4, may as well be 100% balanced between those who voted.

Well im from Canada I thought mostly only Jewish people got cut as babies but hey that's just my arrogance on the subject

Yeah that's basically how the issue is portrayed on american tv, that it's only a jewish thing. Not true. In fact I think it's only relatively recently that the rates dropped by so much in Canada and the UK where I am. Maybe the 60's or something. I think in places like Australia it's actually illegal to cut newborns but I may be wrong.
And good point stretch, also there could be a bias because some guys actually FIND PE by looking for information on foreskin restoration. PEgym included now that we have our own forum for that matter .

Here: Circumcision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

roughly 30% of males in the world are circumcised. 68% of those are Muslim. The majority of the rest are Jewish and people in the United States.

Circumcision also significantly reduces the risk of HIV during penile-vaginal sex.

The World Health Organization (WHO; 2007), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS; 2007), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC; 2008) state that evidence indicates male circumcision significantly reduces the risk of HIV acquisition by men during penile-vaginal sex.

Actually from what I read there has been no proper conclusive studies, hence the rates dropping in so many countries, but I will read the study you provided. I know australia's decision to ban was based after a study showed there was no significant benefits to the surgery.
And also, condoms significantly reduce the risk of the spread of HIV

Maybe I d0n't have any idea. I'm circumcisized, circumcision is a c0mm0n practice in the Philippines. Uncircumsized dudes are m0re pr0ne t0 devel0p urinary tract infecti0ns (UTI) which may lead t0 seri0us diseases/illnesses in later life (pr0state cancer, etc.)

If you've strapped a condom on, what is the difference between circumcised and uncircumcised?

One has foreskin. Naw just kidding, I'll be honest I've never even had sex with glans exposed, I had phimosis. So I won't play the sensitivity card.
But I suppose that's a question worth asking women who've experienced both. It does seem likely though that the preferences I've seen with uncut would be in reference to sex without condom. But who knows?

i'm cut, with an intact frenulum.https://www.pegym.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hey crank, how did you manage that? I thought the frenulum always went when they cut your foreskin off. Whatever is the reason you're lucky. It is my understanding that the frenulum is the most sensitive part of the package, not the glans as is widely believed. Regardless, after very extensive study on the subject, and having been circumcised at birth, I'm an avid dis-believer in being cut. I think it's a barbaric cultural and religious habit that's been sugar coated over the centuries so that we don't even question it. Well after restoration of mine, it was the best thing I ever did. Congrad on you still having at least a piece of it still left.

Good for you hooded. Congratulations and good post, I completely agree.
Maybe post a little success story in the foreskin restoration forum?

Circumcised and glad. I have no wish to worry about fungal infections on my dong. Crotch infections are a woman's worry and should stay that way...

No, but they are the ones who traumatize their children by cutting them well into their toddler years sometimes. Either do it at birth or don't do it...
