The Biggest "Drawback" About Living In America

**Ask The Geezer** · 02-15-2005, 01:19 PM

"During 20th century, more than 120 million foreskins were severed from American penises, more than in any other country in the world. At the height of the circumcision frenzy, a foreskin was being sundered, and a penis crippled, every 17 seconds."

Ouch!

that's a lovely story. nice statistics.

**hurricaneone** · 02-15-2005, 01:32 PM

Ouch indeed.

I never did quite understand the US obsession with cutting it off.

It's a briss conspiracy!

My one skin lies over my two skin, my two skin lies over my three, my three skin lies over my foreskin, so pull back my foreskin for me...

I think the theory was that going bald caused less chance of infections later on. Knowing more of the truth about doctors and hospitals now, it's probably just a way to charge more money. Although, that's a bad loop, cause if the original idea was true, they'd make more money later on.

I don't believe in circumcision. I'm quite fond of my foreskin.

What reason would you have to be looking up circumcision statistics?

Sure, that was the theory, but despite it being complete twaddle, the practise continues.

Being birthed and rasied in the UK, I, like wouter, am proud to say that Mr Johnson wears a hat whatever the weather.

this thread is so ripe for blatant sexual innuendo. I love it

Yeah I was just wondering how you managed to find that page? I can think quite a few other web sites I would rather visit.

Ditto to the UK stuff here. Does make you wonder though, which person decided "oh I know, I'll chop the end of my penis off and see what happens".

Sweet! I've got a new song to teach my boys at bathtime.

A-hem.

Verse two.

My father lies over the ocean, my mother lies over the sea, my father lies over my mother and that's how they got poor old me.

Th-spank you, th-spank you berry mush.

To answer your question as to where circumsision came from:

Circumsision comes from the Jewish tradition of Abraham's covenant with God. If you believe in a Judeo/Christian god, then that's your explanation. If you don't believe, then it was probably just some idea a guy got to be able to tell between Jews and atheists. Maybe the dude was just crazy and thought that that would be the way God would be able to tell. Following in the "only God knows" tradition.

hey, when in doubt, always seek the council of seinfeld:

ELAINE: Hey Jerry, you ever seen one?

JERRY: You mean that wasn't uh.

ELAINE: Yeah.

JERRY: No.. you?

ELAINE: Ya.

JERRY: What'd you think?

ELAINE: (shakes her head) No, had no face, no personality. It was like a martian. But hey, you know that's me.

let's face it, in the end it doesn't matter what YOU think.
it's the ladies who prefer it collarless...

Another untruth put forward by those who lack the full kit.

hmmm, interesting that you don't see many, if any, turtlenecks in pron...

Dood, that observation is so predictable, I think I had the answer prepared yesterday.

The talent pool from which pornstars are drawn is by and large American, so by default (see for proof the original article), all the actors will have a member sans skull cap.
