Most likely the fact that we found out that getting a piece of your dick sliced off for "Cleanliness and Hygiene" and you have a shit ton of nerves missing and your parents have been indoctrinated to cut a piece of your dick off I'd imagine

you make "piece of dick" like you live with one eye or one leg and not some irrelevant dick foreskin

Irrelevant? It literally reduces the pleasure you receive from sex

Unless you don't lile sex or can't get sex it's pretty relevant

Like*

Or you're too young for it or old for it etc etc

This brings up a good question. If the foreskin is gone, and you miss it. If you could, what limb would you trade for it? Would you trade a pinky toe? An eye? A fingertip? An ear? One nut?

Appendix? Kidney?

How about i dont want any body part taken........

@therealdandan this comment is useless. Would you care to contribute to the conversation?

I am, i think your question is absoultly asanine. I looekd at your question and as some one who is circumsised thought it absured. Imagin asking someone who feels abused bc he feels his parants mamed him, wether he would like to trade another body part for it.

btw the open mic is up if anyone is intrested in joining

This is a safe space for discussion. If these questions are too emotional for you, I would recommend you dump your emotions elsewhere. There is a person here @squid who is feeling some emotions about what happened to him and he’s trying to talk about it and hash it out with us. If you look above my comment someone before me made the claim that losing a foreskin is not as significant as losing another body part. This, in my mind is an unfair assumption. I’m trying to pose a thought exercise that can give the person that feels they are missing something an opportunity to describe something in a way that others may understand. This is what we’re here for.

I think that question in a way can confuse and negativly impact the psyche of a person who already feel mamed. Feeling the loss of a body part is something that is psychologically ver difficlt,

@therealdandan @kcon415 play nice, homies.

meny woman who go through Mastectomies suffer greatly specificaly bc that body part is sexualy realted so by asking that question, in the way you did you are softly comparing one body part to another

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
