Well that doesn't work. Jerked myself all day before I was cut and jerk myself all day still afterwards.
If anything it reduces sensitivity so you can jerk for longer.

Looks like you should have a look through this thread. Some of the posts bring up some interesting information.

I saw this thread but just thought I'd answer KMS there cos it was a stray comment.
This is my views on circumcision.
I was upset for a while that my dick was cut, because I was 12 and it seemed an unneccessarily sadistic amount of pain when the anasthetic wore off. I thought as well that girls wouldn't like me cos of it, when I was 12, but that's just cos 12 year olds are stupid little scared weiner idiots who make fun of anything different. Cos forget girls I've heard some women actually prefer it.
When you get over that "emotional trauma" the experience of the pain alone makes you more mature. I can't say for sure it's cleaner because I don't look that intently at my dick. One thing I remember is I used to get this buildup stuff under the foreskin, don't get that anymore. Also, when it had skin, it was damper under the skin. I heard it reduces the risk of STDS, makes sense to me but just don't **** whores anyway.
Obviously if you're clean it doesn't matter cut or uncut. Whatever you do, do it for your own best interest. I don't think there's anything wrong with circumcision, I wouldn't call it mutilation more like pruning. My philosophy since my appendix burst is if you don't need it, cut it off, to be honest.
Of course a parent has the responsibility to decide, I owe my parents my life pretty much, they weren't asking to cut the whole thing off or I would have run away. They waited until an age where they could explain it to me and I'd understand what was happening, it made sense to me when they explained it and I trust them. It's a rite of passage pretty much. Either that or they're ****ing incompetent.
I'm not saying it's neccessarily better, just saying nothing wrong with it and it has it's advantages, I'll probably get my future kids cut if they're boys, cos I think that'll be in their best interest.
Female circumcision on the other hand, ****ed up, because they cut out the clitoris. I understand that's a tradition too, and apparently it makes child birth less painful.
Don't make it less painful! Pain is real!

Cleanliness, neatness of appearance and the increased sexual pleasure for the man are all motivations for the practice. But the desire to conform to tradition is the most powerful motive. The rite of passage, condemned by many Islamic scholars, predates both the Koran and the Bible and possibly even Judaism, appearing in the 2nd century BC.

True but where I come from, the tradition in turn exists because of those motivations.
