Confessions of one Woman
Uncircumcised men fail me in bed. Period. I can imagine the anguish this statement might cause to old uncircumcised men who cannot do anything about their manhood. But hey, you can help spread the word that it is far much sexier to have that spear sharpened.
It is stupid to make such a serious claim without supporting it. Here is my back-up.
First, I hate seeing blood during sex. It is especially gross when blood is not my menses but from the man. While men can brave it and express no concern, it indicates that something is not right. It is not uncommon for the foreskin to peel slightly during the in and out movements of intercourse. While extremely gentle and slow sex can help avoid this, slight vigor or the sudden dryness that comes for various reasons lead to such peeling. Complete pulling in and out that is part of the playful couple’s sex is a no-no for the uncut John because this causes mild to medium pain on John. Thus he is limited to staying inside, with such “in-out” motions being monitored to ensure John does not get out.
While I am some other women might not care whether the man is in pain or not so long as they are having fun, it is human to be concerned especially when the partner is a serious mate, a husband, or whatever he is. No woman’s heart is going to rest with the knowledge that the person trying to make her happy is experiencing some sort of pain at a time when both should be in cloud nine.
Second, the uncut John requires intense lubrication, making sudden, unplanned, intense sexual surprises quite scary. Do not ask me how some of our ancestors managed to procreate without K-Y jellies and other lubricants even when they had uncut Johns. I will have to find out this later. The fact that Johns experience some pain means that each encounter has to be undertaken with the presence of such lubricants, meaning that that quickie in the car, office, or farm is going to be a terrifying experience. I am sure he is not going to tell you this but trust me a good number of guys have told me that the thought of dryness causes fever. Now, when John is uncut, the danger of bruising is cut by nearly 70%.
The number three problem with uncut John is the knockout. I am sure this is new terminology that I am introducing but I will explain. While hitting the cervix especially when ovulation is far away can be painful for some women, there are some, me included, who cherish the idea of John hitting the cervix some of the time during the game. The feeling is awesome and liberating so long as it is not done repeatedly and with the intent to hurt. The strike on the cervix is what I call the “knockout.” I know it gives a good number of men the “stupid” feeling that they are men enough because they have gone all the way to the door-so they walk in the streets with their hands in the pocket and their heads held high. Not necessary guys…..it is possible your girl just has a cervix that is quite close and it is not necessarily your John who can go places! And if you do not strike it, relax. Some of us girls can be really deep. So despite your endowment, you won’t see the gate!
Back to the knockout and the uncut John, the uncut John can sometimes coil back a bit as it sometimes happens and this sends the foreskin shielding the glans like socks. The touch of this on the cervix cannot deliver the knockout. But even with slight relaxation on John who is cut, the strike is still potent enough to deliver the “wow” effect some women crave. Hey, I am sure some women do not like John striking the cervix and maybe some doctors have advised against it. But this is sex. It is highly individual, and no one can coach you. As a woman, you are going to give me what I want and love. So for purposes of being the “man for all seasons,” having a cut John can save a guy deliver the knockout when his woman wants it or hold back when she does not. In other words, it is always advantageous to not give it because she does not want it that to not give it because you cannot.
A buff man with a down-under challenge, which is a common handicap for most body builders. Lack of circumcision poses additional challenges in terms of cleaning and infection
The last reason is the fear of increased chances of infection. Study after study has shown that chances of getting infected while having sex with an uncircumcised man are about 50%-70% higher compared to their circumcised counterparts. It does not help matters that due to ever-present questions on the ability of uncircumcised men to perform in bed, they are working overtime to show that they are also able to deliver like their circumcised friends, meaning that they are likely to be more promiscuous. It is the case of the short man jumping onto the top of the table to be noticed as being part of the party. So it is not uncommon to find the uncircumcised man trying to seduce as many girls as possible in a bid to prove a point, and getting dismissed by one only leads to another. The woman married to such a man will always be wary of getting infected because chances of his John collecting the virus from infected women out there are much higher. In one study, it was stated in plain terms that if an uncut John is dipped into a virus-laden vagina, chances of picking them are 70% higher than those of a cut John picking such viruses. How does this reality affect sex? Well, the woman will dedicate, often unconsciously, some 5%-10% of her attention to the thought of getting infected if this guy with uncut John is infected. Protection (read condoms) does not quell this fear because they burst. 7 in every ten guys and girls have had condoms break at least once during sex. Male and female prostitutes have experienced this even more.
An even grosser issue is hygiene. As a young girl, I would see my 5 year old brother, who later got circumcised at 9, play with his young John. They all do at that age. He would pull back the foreskin and what I would see looked like some gangrenous stuff that we always insisted he cleans every time he showered. The truth is that this stuff still collects on the older John when one is not circumcised. Should you really, a grown man, be struggling with washing that with your hands instead of just facing the knife and getting done with it? Come on!
The circumcised Penis is easy to clean. It also reduces chances of infection.
It is not possible to have the joy you crave and deserve when part of your concentration is dedicated to fear that you would be collecting bacteria and viruses from the man you are having fun with because he is uncut and therefore chances of him being infected are higher. Trust me, since this studies began coming out, some girls have made it a routine to ask their potential partners whether they are circumcised upfront. And guess what? For most of those who ask, not being circumcised is a deal-breaker!
Look at this scenario: You are a cute guy, thin, slender, muscular, big, small, or whatever your girl wants. You have this girl you are ready to lay your life down for. The typical model! She likes everything you say. Hell, she even says you are handsome even with your bad breath and round head! It is a Saturday night, you are at Tribeka. It is your 6th date and today, she is seemingly ready to let you in. She has already invited you to her place because you stay with your daddy-which of course is a shame, to some degree. From nowhere, a workmate drops a magazine and other belongings on your table as she dashes to the ladies. The top story on the magazine cover male circumcision and your girl picks on it. “Sweetie, are you circumcised by the way?” Even before you answer that, she adds, “I do not really like the idea of men not being circumcised.”
What will you do, Mr.?
