The question in my mind is: why should anyone have to “get used to” the way any body part is naturally made?

For the purpose of getting laid, it is extremely important to be aesthetically pleasing to your partner. This becomes a whole new topic when being “attractive” demands surgery.

Foreskin, no? Most likely, you or your partner is circumcised.

I have discussed this topic with quite a few of my girlfriends, and the results are shocking. None of my friends has ever seen an uncut penis. It is the norm in America for parents to have their sons circumcised when they are newborns. This means that most women will never see a natural penis unless they see it on their newborn sons before they decide it’s “unsanitary” and have some skin sliced off.

I slept with a Bulgarian guy a couple of times a few years ago. Boy was he hot. Anyway, I will admit when we got undressed I was a little surprised that he wasn’t circumcised, as I had never seen an unaltered penis before. I didn’t even try to play it off, as I have always been brutally honest. I told him this was my first experience with this version and that it would take a minute for me to get used to it.

The question in my mind is why should anyone have to “get used to” the way any body part is naturally made? I quickly learned what was OK, what things I couldn’t do, and to be honest, it was quite pleasurable once I got the hang of it.

Many American-written books on anatomy portray circumcised male genitals, and that just perpetuates the fear women have of encountering the all-natural male genitalia.

Not only have most women never seen foreskin in person, many have never even seen pictures. It’s not scary, it’s real. This problem is continued through generations by parents fearing ridicule for their sons. I have a hard time with this, as I think that anyone who would chastise another’s naked body should never have the privilege of seeing one. I have discussed this with my male friends, and they believe in circumcision as well.

Sometimes, people are misinformed enough to believe that circumcising a newborn is more sanitary. This is not true, as all body parts need to be kept clean and can be with regular bathing.

Other people think of sending their son into the gym locker room unprepared and different than his classmates. Aren’t differences what make each one of us special? Kids can be cruel, but they will be cruel no matter what a parent does.

Dating can be very difficult for men who are uncircumcised, as no man wants his date to be horrified when he drops his pants. Again, if someone is disgusted by this, they are too shallow to bother with anyway. Dating is difficult for everyone, as everyone has a part of their body that they aren’t happy with. If we all started having surgeries to perfect every part of us that was wrong, individuality would go out the window, and we would all look alike.

This expectation of circumcision is akin to an expectation of high, round, perky, fake breasts on every woman. Most woman would be pissed if a man said, “Oh, wow, your breasts are real? I don’t think I can do this.”

Between Hollywood and porn, no one remembers what a natural, healthy body looks like. This is sad. Society puts too much pressure on the “ideal” look, whether the casualty of foreskin or pliable breast tissue.

Now, I am not saying I seek out uncircumcised men, nor do I discriminate against the circumcised. In the dating market, one can’t have physical expectations anymore because there is no such thing as “perfection” in penises, breasts, faces or physiques. Accept differences — show you’re unbiased by screwing someone uncircumcised today!
