Well that’s a thought

April 1st, 2009 · by map · 10 Comments

To circumcise or not? A thought I’d not had on the matter before today, from this article:

But once you and your penis are fully baked, the advantage of a foreskin is not clear. Some scientists speculate that it protected the prehistoric penis as it swung, naked, through thick forests and over tall grasses; and unless you take your penis on that sort of excursion, they argue, you don’t need a foreskin.

Sure. But isn’t it best to be prepared?

    I’ve been in a few women who qualified as a jungle.

    Bah-ZING!

    Really, the circumcision thing? Huge amounts of stress, worry, and wringing before the birth and procedure, and ZERO after. Not a regret in my body. YMMV.

    my parents chose not to circumcise my brother and i know it caused a some unnecessary stress for him in the locker room.

    personally, i didn’t really want my son running around like snuffleupagus… cleaning him off after he does his business is bad enough without worrying about that sort of thing.

    But I bet he could run naked through tall grass like nobody’s business.

    FWIW, the hubby and the baby boy are both forest/jungle-safe, Jake is not. Having seen a hundred or so of the procedures up close, I couldn’t justify it anymore. Also, Dan had no problems, health, locker room, or girl-related by keeping his. It’s all a matter of education. Or lack of it.
