The Foreskin Dilemma

So, the other day on SDC, a couple e-mailed us. If I remember it right, they weren’t in Austin, they may have been from Dallas, but that’s fairly irrelevant.

They left a quick little note; “Hey! Great pictures! Let us know if you’re interested!”

(For one, I HATE e-mails like this. It sounds like a blanket that you sent to everyone. If you want to get in our pants, you have to make it sound like you want in our pants.)

So, they looked cute enough, young enough, so I click their profile, and was INSTANTLY offended.

The FIRST thing you see is in ALL CAPS (which is internet speak for shouting, if you didn’t know) “Do not contact us if you aren’t circumcised.”

Why was I offended? Well, 2 reasons.

1) Mat isn’t circumcised. It felt like they were rejecting him without even meeting him. It’s cool if you don’t like me, or him, or us, but GEEZ, give us a chance. He could have a mini-micro penis, but that wouldn’t change the integrity of his soul. I think it’s INCREDIBLY shallow to reject people before you’ve even met them.

2) Oh my god! What’s wrong with it not being circumcised? You do realize that if you pull down on the shaft SUDDENLY it looks like a circumcised penis? Geez, grow up.

I sent her back a reply that said, “What’s wrong with not being circumcised?”

Her answer was, “Well, it’s dirty.”

Sweetheart, I hate to break it to you, but EVERYONE’S genitals are dirty. Be it male or female, circumcised or not; it’s all dirty. You know what I do? I keep a package of Summer’s Eve wipes with me when I know sex is a possibility, but might not have time to shower right before. We also have a pack by the bed, you know, for first-thing-in-the-morning sex. They are tasteless (unlike baby wipes) and ph balanced for the females (unlike baby wipes), and they gently wipe away ANY hint of dirt or sweat, or whatever.

I mean, if you’re adult enough to be having sex with multiple people, you should be mature enough to get past a penis that looks different. As long as everyone keeps themselves clean, there is no difference besides the way it looks.

Your thoughts? (And yes, I will probably be quoting and linking some of your answers in an upcoming post...)

  1. As I sit firmly in the 'have' camp I can only speak for myself. Neither I or any of my lovers have experienced or expressed any issue. But then, I shower on a daily basis, and from a child I was taught to wash my dick and balls, and even my bum-hole. (Some mothers eh!!)

    Besides, aren't all men born with them?

    imho, it maintains a heightened sensitivity and suppleness of the glans. Not to mention it being an excellent wank tool. Rolling it over the ridge of ones helmet is exquisite. And it gives your partner something extra to play or tease you with. It might just be a little bit of skin, but its uses are many.

    I would suggest that the couple in question are just naive and a little narrow-minded and probably scared of things they know nothing about. A bit like Hitler was. ;)

  2. She sounds batshit crazy, ignorant and shallow.

    You really put it the best though when you said

    "... if you're adult enough to be having sex with multiple people, you should be mature enough get past a penis that looks different..."

    She sounds like she may not be mature enough.

  3. My immediate thought, of course, is SCREW THEM (or, more to the point, don't screw them!) I'm not a swinger, per se, but I agree that anyone adult (note: I didn't say mature) enough to want to engage in sex with another couple should have an understanding of basic hygiene. She should have specified, "Do not contact us if you don't shower."

    Their loss.

    btw: I love uncircumcised cocks as well as 'cut' ones. It's what's behind that cock that matters.

  4. I have been with one uncircumcised man in my life. I think she has had an experience with a man who was not taught to pull back the head, if they don't do that it can be umm yeah dirty is a word that comes to mind. However, to base on the experience of one time is not right and I would never do that just because I had a crap experience with one. Besides ya'll are too hot for them anyway..

  5. I have experienced both, and my vast preference is for the intact penis with foreskin. It's meant to be there, it's a functional sexual part.

    I'd like to think I'd not discriminate against a man who had been cut, as it's not generally his fault, but... hell, I really, really like it. If I'm lucky I won't have to ever answer that question.

    And if you're using condoms it doesn't really matter one way or the other.

    Yeah, I don't know about the "dirty" thing. You wash it and voila! Not dirty anymore, just like all the other sex parts.

  6. She's rude, arrogant, uneducated, and is ruling out a huge % of the male population. That's just tragic. How would she react if someone rejected her for small nipples or brown aerola, and don't get started on the whole "waxed, trimmed, shaved, or bushy" debate. If you want to talk about misguided stereotypes about cleanliness, lets start there.

    Rejecting her, and her kind, is good practice, she's shown herself for what she truly is.

  7. In all caps? Oh, for goodness sake!

    I agree with A54, how would she feel if she was rejected for having small/large breasts or whatever?

    I am also mindful of staying fresh and keep wipes with me in case the moment arises when I might need one. :-)

  8. Times have changed. When I was growing up it was standard for men to be circumcized. And it's also a religious thing for Jews and Muslims. So . . . if the woman doesn't want to be involved with an uncircumcized man, that's her choice.

    Also, when I was growing up, women had pubic hair. And now, most men expect them shaved. My sister is always telling me about how all the men in her neighborhood swear they will never "go down" on a woman with pubic hair. I find that to be rather absurd especially when being said by a man our age who spent the majority of his life with women who had pubic hair.

    I would be extremely choosy about who I have sex with, but I also wouldn't be having an adventurous sex life where these issues would arise. I don't plan to ever have sex with anyone but Master again, and these issues are part of the reason why. It would be awful if me and some new man got all hotted up, and he took off his pants, and I had to say . . . uh . . . nevermind. Hee.
