Last night I watched the finale to 6FU, and am now ready to discuss it.

Look, I didn't cry when I was watching it, ok? Did not cry. Just drop it.

I'll never know what I've been missing.

"Cultural anthropologist Leonard Glick explores the history of the Snip from a skeptical perspective in Marked in Your Flesh, published this summer by Oxford University Press (serious scholarship, truly!). Glick acknowledges that in the book of Genesis, circumcision is the sign of God's covenant with Abraham. But then he takes the line of the anti-circumcision movement: Circumcision is painful, irreversible surgery to which newborn boys cannot consent. Its health benefits are marginal and overstated. And far from being an extraneous bit of flesh, the foreskin is "richly endowed with specialized nerves," making it 'the principal site of sexual sensation' in a man who has one. 'Circumcised men have lost more capacity for optimal pleasure than they will ever know,' Glick sighs. (He never comes out and says so, but his sense of loss seems personal.) In support of this proposition he cites the 12th-century Jewish physician and philosopher Moses Maimonides, who wrote that 'if at birth this member has been made to bleed and has had its covering taken away from it, it must indubitably be weakened.'"

No?

Shit. Just ignore that PM, okay?

Someone told me recently that American spies were often outted in WWI & II because almost every American male was circumcised and, for the most part, most Europeans were not.

They must not have been very good spies. Why did they show their penises to the Germans?

rent Europa Europa. Sometimes, when a grown up man and a grown up lady feel a certain way they want to show each other their piddlers.

For what it is worth, and I speak as a penis-less person, I don't think it is all that much better. I've never noticed an appreciable difference of the sounds of pleasure of those who are cut and those who aren't. This is based on sample size of about 10-11 uncut, (and considerably more who are cut), but still, I think it's enough for a valid comparison.

Thank you. I feel much better about my piddler now.

I Hate My Parents
 

Thanks. I need something else to be pissed about.

Bald exes.
 

Let's see...

Sebby wants to soft swing on the internet. PP allegedly told him she did. Sebby is internet boyfriend to both rp and PP. (Which is one of the world's funniest punchlines, if you ask me.)

And SS has a circumsized penis.

Anything else I should be noting?

I Hate My Parents
 

My guess is circumcision was started by Jewish women desperate for orgasms. Think of how much rampant premature ejaculation took place back in the day when all men had all those extra nerve endings...

Bald exes.
 

No, excellent recall... But please explain why PP and RP hate each other. Its got my net world in disarray.

I'm not sure how I would have made it through junior high and high school with more sensativity.

In the Old Testament, God really fucked with people. "Abraham, go kill you son. Ha! Just kidding!" I bet he was kidding about the circumcision thing, too.
