You have to first start with the fact that 50% are women...
As a male, who was once an eager teen, I can attest that the LAST thing men need to enhance sex (at least the duration of it), is increased sensations of pleasure.
Not much of a giant conservative are you?
Can you tell the difference between when he's wearing a condom and not?
My husband was the one that was really against circumcision for our son. I decided since I wasn't a male, that my husband should make the call.
I too consider it a privilege and proud that I am carrying on such an ancient tradition ordained by God...not that I had any say in it of course. :-)
I'm not strage, and my son isn't circumcised.
My husband felt more strongly than I did.
However, I didn't read anything that would intice us to do the procedure. We're not Jewish, so there wasn't a religious reason.
Makes me wonder if the uncut version is so preferred, are there mostly uncut dildos for sale?
"Why don't the Muslims circumcise babies according to the biblical directions (on the eighth day after birth)? Is it because Ishmael was circumcised when he was 13?"
Well they don't believe the Bible. And I don't know about the 13 stuff.
When I was in Turkey in the summer of 1996, I saw whole families gathered on the grounds of the mosques, the "guest of honor", dressed in an elaborate costume, was the young man about to be trimmed
No wonder the little buggerst turn into terrorists.
Trimmed at 11 or 12 would make me nasty too.
Nasty religion.
OMSK, Russia - In west Siberia, just as spring is unfolding in some parts of Russia, the Jewish community of Omsk was warmed by dual Brit Mila ceremonies held in their city. Two adult men decided to undergo this circumcision, which was performed by Rabbi Yeshaya Shafit, Russia's Chief Mohel who represents the 'Brit Yosef Yitzchak' Organization.
The Mohel traveled to Omsk especially to conduct these ceremonies for the two men. One of them, 15-year-old Vladimir, is an active member of the ‘Omets’ Youth Club run by the local community. Upon completing this ritual, the young man adopted the name of his grandfather, Benyamin. The other man, a 40-year-old named Igor, also took on the name of his grandfather, Shlomo.
Chief Rabbi of Omsk Osher Krichevsky presented Benyamin a tefillin that was donated by the World Bank of Tefillins in New York. Shlomo received a separate gift consisting of the three major Jewish books - the Chumash, Tehilim and Tanya - all of which have been translated into Russian. These gifts should allow the newly-circumcised men to fulfill the covenant they made with G-d in their everyday life.
The Jewish community of Omsk is a leader among those from Siberia that hold membership in the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia.
Argh! I've been mutilated! It's OK with me.
If an uncircumcised man only has sex with his wife who is also a virgin, then how can he get AIDS or other STDs?
I figure if my son decides to live a promicuous lifestyle then he can always get circumcised later in life.
Both men and women can feel the presence of a condom.
Now don't go gettin' logical on us. ;-)
Damn! Me too!
Whoa...I've had two hernia surgeries; the first time the surgeon didn't bother to warn me about post-procedure "bruising", and on about the third morning I popped one overnight and in the morning I noticed that my wee-wee was deep purple/black and quickly asked my wife if I'd morphed into Wilt Chamberlin.
Anyhow, I made a quick call to the surgeon who kind of chuckled and said he didn't like to scare his patients! Sheeit!
Same thing happened when I had the other side done four years later, but this time I just laughed it off and took a digital pic for the archives...
I'm sure you are not strange. I don't know you but I can only surmise that your husband wanted your son to be like he is himself.
