Kinda makes you wonder what current traditions we have that will get lampooned in a couple hundred years (or further down the line).

The ancient Olympics were between Greek city states; I don't recall Israel being enumerated along with Athens and Sparta. I believe your source is in error. [/QUOTE]
Howdy,
ok, you busted me. I was incorrect about not being allowed in...they were allowed in, but much like Rudolf the Red Nose Raindeer...they were ridiculed for being different and attempted to hide their ridicule by the others!
"In Hellenistic times, Greek-speaking Jews would sometimes take part in athletic exercises. They were then exposed to ridicule because they were circumcised – a custom which was unknown in the Greek tradition. In fact the Greek athletes, even though naked, seem to have made a point of avoiding exposure of their glans; for example by tying a bit of string around their foreskin. In roman-occupied Jerusalem, Jews that went to the gymnasium would wear prostetic foreskins made from sheep gut in order to avoid being ridiculed for being circumcized." [/QB][/QUOTE]
I stand corrected.

The cut or non-cut debate is one of those perpetually annoying and meaningless debates. I'm cut and am 100% happy and secure with the amount of "nerve endings" I have and the pleasure I get. I'll bet if I was uncut then I'd also be 100% happy and secure with the amount of "nerve endings" I have and the pleasure I get. I like the way my cut dick looks, probably because that's the way it is. I've never been with a girl who had a deal-breaking preference.
I don't think it matters either way. When I have a male kid I'd probably vote to have him cut, because that's what I know. If the mother had a different opinion and cared about it more then me then she'd get her way.

The Greek Hellenistic period began with the death of Alexander the Great (323 B.C.). I could not discern whether the Olympics were still being held but Rome was in ascension and Greece was decidedly in decline.
Just thought I'd share. Hell, it's Christmas Eve, there's nothing going on in my life, and the "Knob Creek" bourbon is powerful tasty.

sorry for the late reply ive been busy! to answer your question no andy we didnt have it done so he would fit in. all of the males in both mine and my husbands family are "cut" so it was just the thing to do. i think though that if our family was UNcut we would have gone with that. i guess its you go with what you know!

The problem with Pen & Teller's episode is that they don't really cover the medical reasons for a person to get circumcised. There are skin conditions that cause skin to lose its elasticity, so think about pulling back your skin and having it tear. I've ripped my banjo string (the skin that connects to foreskin to the shaft) during sex and it was painful. Took a while to heal too.
A friend of mine in high school had to have and emergency circumcision done at 16 and he wasn't in school for a while. They are medical reasons for having it done, however, if you regularly pull that skin back it can be trained. Also, I've kept the fact that I was uncut hidden from chicks. It's really not that hard to hide, pull back the skin, done.
Cut or uncut, you've still got a functional cock. It's female circumcision that is a crime.

Yeah last sentence agreed with and I do concede that they are ridiculously one-sided. But they admit it...not many do. For their last episode they say they're going to do "The Bullshit of Bullshit!" - talking about why believing them is bullshit
Medical emergency is clearly a different thing, but I think if one is going to have it done, one should have the choice and know all the facts as it's essentially a cosmetic procedure :/
And I've had some unpleasantness due to it when I was younger and, well...wanking a lot, but I'd take the being able to feel more stimulation over not any day.
...how can you pull it back it it's attached btw? - when I'm doing my routine cleaning, if I pull back too far it stings like a motherfucker...
Don't be ashamed bruh. Cut are smaller and thinner than the same cock uncut

I've heard from a few girls that think the "uncut" cock is not a "good look" or "scary"(their words not mine). Couldn't care less about it, I personally am cut and when I have kids if I have a boy he will be "cut" as well. My first cousin was born in England and wasn't "cut" and has had nothing but complications from what I'm told growing up(might even still have complications but he's 19 so I don't think he wants everyone to know lol) due to infections and what not.
I remember seeing a FJ vid on xhamster I believe and its a POV FJ vid and the cameraman/lucky fucker is uncut and man, it just didn't look right at all...if I find the vid I'll post it later but you don't often see uncut in porn come to think of it eh? Thoughts?

With exceptions, obviously, if it's simply non-American...you'll be seeing an uncircumcised mofo.
Shame about your cous :/
That little flap of skin being removed at birth would have stopped all his aggro though, you reckon?
