The case for foreskin.

First, let’s just acknowledge the elephant in the room: there is no medical reason for circumcision.

As a guy with an all-natural dick, I can tell you that it’s been no problem.

People say that you’ll be teased. Trust me, the minefields of pubescent insecurities are not measurably different with a foreskin.

People say that boys can’t clean themselves. Okay, this is a little personal and perhaps over-sharey, but I did have to learn how to clean myself, by asking my parents. I noticed a smell and didn’t like it. I told my mom, who sent in my dad, who showed me how to pull back the foreskin and clean all around. And that small chore has been far more a blessing than a curse because you end up being in much better shape overall by just cleaning yourself daily. Fortunately, parents today have the advantage of educating themselves on the internet and feel less fear about teaching their kids from a young age.

No, I haven’t found my foreskin to be a burden in any way. In fact, considering the alternative, I think of myself as lucky.

Firstly, I never needed lube to masturbate. Oh, sorry, no warning for that one. But yeah, humans masturbate a lot, and when I learned that some of my circumcised peers had to use lube to avoid chafing, I was surprisingly smug.

Secondly, it’s good for sex. Or so I’ve heard.

Finally, society has moved past needing to do things just because they have been done before. We can apply an evolved judgment, and see that penises work just fine they way they’re designed.

Word to the people: ain’t nothing to fear from a little extra skin!
