No, because it's shit, and Scrubs is better by a mile.

And so what? On the ABC news a few years back, they were showing a medical facility that treats children who have cancer. They showed the operating room, and what was the first thing the camera showed? A girl's "underside" when the camera was moving along.

And since it was live (and before the Super Bowl "mishap"), it was completely uncensored. Not that I have a problem with it, but I seem to be the only person who noticed it.

Just like what I described. Totally unexpected and in your face for just over a second.

Though I have to wonder: Why didn't you just say "a penis"? Did it have to be "an uncircumcised penis"? I'm guessing it did, since most Americans seem to have this sick, twisted aversion to an unmangled appendage.

Seriously, it's quite sickening.

it was actually pretty mangled anyway, but it's just something I notice....

ever seen "Life of Brian"? I was watching it for the first time and he was naked for all of 3 seconds and I said "wow, he's not circumcised"

I have penis radar......

It really doesn't take a goddamn genius to see that a tube filler isn't mangled. That's the thing about unmangled ones: they have character. Mangled ones look virtually the same, as there's no foreskin variation to further differentiate one from another.

Cutting off the foreskin is akin to removing the labia. Completely unnecessary and completely demeaning.

I meant it was mangled because he (apparently) has a fish that swam up his urethra and caused an infection.

I am against the circumcision of babies, just so you know.

I said that he was being a hypocrite because he has no problem watching Star Trek which has all sorts of violence and sex and he is always bashing Grey's anatomy because he calls it "slut hospital" and says it's "basically porn" and that "the penis proves it" and I got all mad and said that he was so puritanical about penis and not about blowing shit up and that he makes me sick........

the penis was unnecessary but not pornographic.

i dont watch greys anatomy because it is no better than a nighttime "general hospital". its not porn, just a "chick show". (kinda the same reason i hate all the "law and orders". they are "guy shows" that are equally unrealistic)

As a man with a penis that is not circumsized, I can tell you that hygiene is not a problem for me in any respect. Circumsizing once had a point, but it no longer holds one other than a religious reason, and religious reasons are the single most stupid reasons for doing anything, period.

But you can get contact dermatitis of the glans from soaps, etc a lot easier when circumcised.....or so i'm told

edit: although it seems that circumcision lowers the risk of contracting HIV. So maybe it does trump the other option

It may be a non medical name, they tend to be latin. Smegma seems to be a British word (for any "Red Dwarf" fans its shortened to smeg!) And why did God/Allah/mother nature put the foreskin there if it was not needed? Its a bit like chopping off your nose 'cos you get snot!

A better example would be saying its a bit like chopping off your appendix because it gets infected and you get appendicitis. And having a foreskin that won't retract (phimosis) is a bit harder to fix than a blocked nose

27-04-2007, 14:17
Bwahahah I can assure you that it is not!

Foreskin secretes a mucus that reduces friction during intercourse, and coupled with what a female already produces, that makes for very little friction in comparison to intercourse with a mangled penis.

Too much friction = overstimulation which leads to early ejaculations in quite a lot of men. And the funny thing is, said overstimulation usually isn't noticeable, which once again, is a reason for early ejaculation... And a lot of unwanted pregnancies.

All guys with no foreskin do is ram away. Guys with foreskin can do a hell of a lot more, and both parties get more out of it.

1: I'll be serious here: you're not really gaining our respect by responding with that "laugh". You've lost just about all of mine. Read my words: debate is better than weaseling out of an argument.

2: Yeah, it really does. The simple fact that parents actually have the choice to mutilate their children before they can make a decision on their own is sickening. If circumcision is to be legal, it should be in the hands of the individual, not any overseeing party.

Then again, seeing as I'm in the States, that's not going to happen anytime soon. Civil liberties for children over here are disgustingly lacking.

Then again, seeing as I'm in the States, that's not going to happen anytime soon. Civil liberties for children over here are disgustingly lacking.

Point taken, but respect from facley 'net heads who I don't know, I really don't care about.

I laugh at lots of things coz I find lots of things funny, don't take it personaly, in this instance I'm lauaghing at people who tell me a circumsised man, what my life is like as a circumsised man.

I got circumsised for mediical reasons, which means the rest of my brothers bar one are not, and you know what? We are all grown men now, and over the course of our lives have had this debbate countless times, the real deal is, there is no differance, it doesn't matter.

I don't mind having no foreskin, my brothers don't mind having theirs, I feel no adverse feelings towards anybody who has one, nor ill will towards my parents or the doctors who had it whiped off, I am not effected by it in the least way mentaly, as to it being crule, why is it so?

The cruelty of it is the fact that a part of one's body is removed without consent, long before that person can make any decisions on his own.

One would think that an individual should be given time to figure things out on his own before making a qualified decision and having an operation...

Yeah of course that is how things should go. But young children canno be asked to understand all of the ins and outs of life, nor tomake these types of descions for them selfs huh!

Would you saythe same about a life saving op?

Again though, speaking as a circumsised man, I fail to see anything wrong with it.

That's my point. People should be able to wait until they're old enough to weigh the odds and ends.

Heheh weight the odds and ends! Heheh did you say that intentionaly in a thread that seems to have turned into a talk about circumsicion?

Yes I agree, but as I said, I had mine off for medical reasons, it was a desicion that I could not have made for myself, my life has been just normal without it, and I bear no ill will towards my parents for thrier desicions.

It was not crule, it is not crule, it makes absolutly no differance to my life, so again, where is the problem?

I know people that have had their daughters ears pierced at the age of three or even younger, would you say that is a no no?

What about inoculations for kids, is that crule?

Dear me! This has careened off topic. I've read the whole thread and have since gone back and read the first post and now this last post. How did we get from Grey's Anatomy showing a penis on network television to an in depth conversaion about circumcision?
Snafturi
27-04-2007, 17:28
because I think I just saw an uncircumcised penis........:eek:

I swear I did, hubby says he did too.

then we just got into this big debate and now he isn't talking to me.

I don't watch Grey's Anatomy, so I saw no penis.

I did however see naked 80 y/o breasts on ER a few years back. Uncensored. Total close-up.

I have no problem with nudity, mind you. I just think they were doing it to push the envelope of network TV which I found disgusting. ER has had hundreds of shots of a patient in cardiac arrest in need of some voltage, and they never felt the need to show the functional nudity before.

I am curious if they had to censor it when it went into re-runs on TNT in the morning. Anyway...

I just get irritated that NYPD Blue and ER had this whole "who can go the farthest" war going on. I also didn't appreciate the prostate exam they showed on NYPD Blue.

Playing that clip in slow motion shows that the "penis" has an ear and a beard. So unless that was part of his medical condition, too....

That would be a scary medical problem indeed.

I'd imagine that most of the doctors would try to bring a digicam in to take pics while he's on the operating table. :p

True enough. I'm really glad I don't have those bits. That would be quite traumatizing to wake up to.

It really doesn't take a goddamn genius to see that a tube filler isn't mangled. That's the thing about unmangled ones: they have character. Mangled ones look virtually the same, as there's no foreskin variation to further differentiate one from another.

Cutting off the foreskin is akin to removing the labia. Completely unnecessary and completely demeaning.

Eh, only in First world countries, which have good hygiene standards. In third world countries, where it is bloody difficult to have good hygiene for many reasons, can be circumcision is a life saver, quite literally. There are several health issues with an uncircumcised penis, that although are not effectual in First World nations, can have a great impact in Third World nations.

Don't you think it would be proper to start your own thread about this topic instead of hijacking this one? It's not the same topic at all.

This thread seems to have served its purpose. If you want to continue discussing the morality and practicality of circumcision by starting another thread, feel free to do so.
