Urban Dictionary: circumcision

circumcision

to cut off a males foreskin.
It is usually done in muslim and jewish countries. America is the only non jewish or muslim country where most males are circumcised. It is also the best treatment for phimosis and infections like balanitis.

It also prevents masturbation. This is entirely psychological due to being made to feel unhappy and inferior by anti circumcision activists and most of the other authors on this page, saying that circumcision is mutilation and decreases sexual pleasure. It makes the penis less sensitive which does not mean less pleasure. It increases staying power for better orgasms and is more enjoyable for both man and woman.

if all the anti circumcision activists didn't write all the crap about circumcision on the internet, circumcised men would not masturbate any less than uncircumcised men.

circumcision

It's the removal of the foreskin. It's not a "sadistic rite," insanity, or a barbaric act. It's a surgical procedure that parents may choose to have their boys undergo for the best interests of the child, or at the recommendation of a doctor.

Circumcision eliminates problems with retracting the foreskin and inflammation of the foreskin. It also may reduce the risk of penile cancer and urinary tract infections. Aside from that, many people don't consider a drooping hunk of skin at the end of a sex organ to be very attractive.

Hygiene is an issue with circumcision. You can see why the hygiene argument might have a basis in circumcision, since the foreskin acts as a storage unit for nasty substances. It doesn't take long for bacteria to multiply and become great in number, and for build-ups to happen. See smegma.

Label on a penis: Not circumcised. Wash before and after sex, masturbation, or public display.

Come on, people. Circumcision's a personal point of view. Be happy with what you have. The only "damage" here is that caused by people that tell circumcised males that they _are_ damaged or "mutilated!"

Mutilation: the destruction of something to where it is not nearly what it was or how it used to perform. Well, if circumcision is sexual mutilation, how come America (with the majority of males circumcised) are happy people -- many with children?

Circumcision

A practice of removing the foreskin from the human male penis to expose the glans.

Only common in the Jewish faith and in the United States, the vast majority of the developed world having paid attention to the research indicating it's a completely unnecessary and barbaric practice. Neonatal circumcision is illegal in a few countries and never offered on nationalised health care unless there is a problem with the ability of the foreskin to retract and expose the glans.

Reduces sensitivity by causing callousing of the glans tissue and if performed incorrectly can result in almost complete loss of penile sensation and resulting sexual dysfunction.

The vast majority of human males are not circumcised.

Boyle et al. stated that "the genitally intact male has thousands of fine touch receptors and other highly erogenous nerve endings—many of which are lost to circumcision, with an inevitable reduction in sexual sensation experienced by circumcised males." They concluded, "Evidence has also started to accumulate that male circumcision may result in lifelong physical, sexual, and sometimes psychological harm as well."

Sorrells et al., using monofilament touch-test mapping, found that the foreskin contains the most sensitive parts of the penis, noting that these parts are lost to circumcision. They also found that "the glans of the circumcised penis is less sensitive to fine-touch than the glans of the uncircumcised penis."

Circumcision

An unnecessary surgery of removing of the foreskin of the male reproductive organ, most typically preformed after a few days after birth. The natural job of the foreskin is to protect the head or tip of the penis from abrasion. IT IS NOT MERELY EXTRA SKIN, IT IS A VITAL COMPONENT TO THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN.

This is done for either religious or hygiene purposes. It has been proven both by science and by common sense that not only is this surgery unnecessary, it makes the penis less sensitive over time. This is so, because the glands are not being lubricated and enriched by the foreskin. Instead they are being dried out by the harshness of friction and the air.
GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES, DON'T CIRCUMCISE YOUR BABY!!!

When I was just a few days old, my parents decided allow a doctor to preform a mutilation i mean circumcision on my penis. Due to my parents unawareness on the negative aspects on this unnecessary operation, they both gave the doctor implied consent to cut away a part of my manhood. The doctor told my parents it would make it easier for me to stay clean down there.

The doctor turned out to be right, but only with the expense of experiencing sexual pleasure to its fullest quality. FUCK YOU DOCTOR ASSHOLE!
