and i did read the whole converstation

How difficult? Compared to what? I think this is worth exploring. I feel like this is the space to attempt to look at that.

@therealdandan there are no off limits questions.

i never said there were

you can ask it and i can crticize it

Honestly, I normally wouldn’t have posed it like that. Lockwood has already made the comment and I was trying to steer things back to something useful.

@therealdandan if you dont like his question, just don't engage with it.

@kcon415 i dont think you were malicious one bit. I just answered it as i thought was appropriate.

@m.miller so i shouldent honestly engade with a question someone poses, if i think the question poorly worded, or asanine?

@therealdandan that's not what I'm trying to say.

You didn’t answer it. You made an assumption that my question was overly insensitive and attempted to shut it down. I would love for you or anyone to actually answer my question. Not ridicule the utility of the question itself.

I was simply trying to understand @squid 's point of view

> You didn’t answer it. You made an assumption that my question was overly insensitive and attempted to shut it down. I would love for you or anyone to actually answer my question. Not ridicule the utility of the question itself.
@kcon415 exactly.

The therapeutic communication seems to have been hijacked.

If you do have a better way to gauge the level of loss that is felt I’m all ears. And I’m sure there is, since I did end up trying to redirect some comments. Maybe I should have just ignored it. I felt like the conversation was already steering into bullying territory and was trying to redirect it. I guess it just caused more problems. Oh well.

@kcon415 if there is bullying and a mod doesn't jump in, just let me know. I don't always see it.

@kcon415 which is why i responded as i did, i found that comment in a way borderline bullying. Did not mean to start this anymosity. sorry guys

It’s alright. Hugs all around. Haha

@therealdandan you're just fine. Confusion is sometimes part of discourse. No harm done on either side.

Maybe I can make up for it by sharing some personal stuff about my own dick. I’m not circumcised, but sometimes I wish I was.

One reason being, that in my own personal poll, it seems that women prefer circumcision. But that’s mostly I think from lack of understanding or experience with uncircumcised penises.

Second being, that I’ve experienced inconveniences from my foreskin. I tore my frenulum during sex. It was extremely painful and bloody and embarrassing and took months to heal initially and like a year to heal completely. I’ve also had issues with the ring being too tight and tearing. So yeah. It’s got its own potential downsides too. Hope that helps people feel comfortable sharing.

I'm circumcised and never gave it a thought and I think nothing about it.

^same

One o fmy close friends needed to get a circumcision at age 23 bc of Phimosis

@sean.sullivan1983 that's cool however a lot of men don't like living with personal choice their mother made about their penis

Were you circumcised @tom

No

I notice that the people that care the most about circumcision are those who aren’t even circumcised

I’m not saying you have no say on the topic

I just find it interesting that the people who weren’t circumcised talk about how monsterous it is. When those who were circumcised seem indifferent about the whole thing

I don't agree with that because all of the most vociferous protester are Jews and those that feel violated

I want a video and realized how cruel it is I like the way. I have to masturbate without a foreskin.

I mean I think the majority of the population is ok with it and if you were to ask if they’d want there children circumcised they’d probably say yes

I was circumcised and I don’t feel abused or tortured and my sex life is fine

That's in America in Africa the Middle East

What else could you say? You have no comparison. You could imagine not having any friction and free skin moving during masturbation

All I’m saying is that masturbation and sex is still great without a foreskin lol

If you think about it it's the orgasm this great and not the ACT. The with a mutilated member can be frustrating because of the loss of sensitivity
