I've actually never encountered a circumcised one, so technically by voting "natural" I'm just voting "penis". I think I'd probably be momentarily fascinated by a cut one, but I don't think I'd form a preference. But who knows.

I prefer circumcised. Just a personal preference honestly. If I have a boy, we will most likely have him circumcised. However, I don't judge others on their decisions. It's your baby, do what you feel is right.

Circumcised. I've never seen an uncircumcised penis in my life. Both of my boys were circumcised and at age 7 and 9 I've never had any uncomfortable penis questions. I don't have a specific or health reason, it's just what I prefer and my little bean will be circumcised too. I've actually watched circumcisions In nursing school (clinicals) and it wasn't a horrible, bloody scream fest like some think. It was just a small medical procedure. Some boys whined a bit and some didn't even seem to notice. It didn't make me change my mind at all.

This. I do much prefer circumcised personally, if we are voting based on personal attraction. I will be circumcising my son, though, based on my research/CNM, I personally feel that the benefits outweigh the risks. I hold absolutely no judgment towards other preferences or decisions.

Dead honestly, I've never been able to tell the difference. They're just not that different. Maybe I'm not looking closely enough at the penises I have encountered?

I've never encountered an uncut penis, but I l never avoided it. Honestly, I don't think I would have a preference. I like all kinds of different bodies and shapes, I'd probably feel the same about penises.

You made me laugh. As a penis specialist (I have only seen 5 by the way, but of those five I have had about a gazillion episodes so I am taking the title LOL) maybe you have encountered it when it was already erect and he pulled the foreskin back? Once that is done, they pretty much all look the same when they are erect, (just some extra meat right under the head of the penis due to the skin being pulled back)
It's when they are not erect that you can tell the difference. You can't see the head of the penis, it is protected by skin. Hope this helps
DH always feels jipped because he's read a bit about how being circumcised can/does it to become less sensitive. Although I'm sure 15 year old him was glad to be able to hold it just a few seconds longer.

I think circumcised look prettier but uncircumcised is more fun to play with. Hand jobs are easier IMO, just grab and go - not need to slide hand. Tmi?
I've been around both. I prefer circumcised though. I am also a big believer in that a child's penis should look like his Daddy's penis, just for the purpose of helping to be comfortable with their own bodies. So if my husband had happened to be uncircumcised then we would not be circumcising our son.
Poll says I can't vote. ? My only experiences have been with the circumcised variety. (Also H's vote if we have a boy due to personal care/hygiene reasons.) Though I do have a horrible story from when I work in a pediatric office about a 17 year old boy tearing during "rough sex" (piercings may have been involved?) who then had to get a circumcision.

Respectfully, I've never understood this idea. I mean, there will be so many ways you look like your parents of unlike your parents and I just can't see how circumcision can make a real difference to body image. Maybe your husband is tall and your son will turn out to be short, and you'll have to teach him that both are ok? I've definitely never heard a man or boy claim that they wished their penis looked more like their dad's. Maybe penises are more important than other things and I just don't understand. Maybe people compare more? I don't know but this logic just never quite made enough sense to me to justify a medical procedure. Just my 2 cents on this one.

Sorry ladies, I am not sure why it is saying you can't bote. It is not locked. If you would try again, maybe it will accept your vote. It won't confirm, but will just calculate your vote and it will only allow you to vote one time.

I definitely understand your view, and this is just mine. I have never had a penis or even had a child so these are just my thoughts.
I've only been with my husband (gasp!!) and he's cut, so I guess that's what I prefer. However, DS#1 is intact, and DS#2 is cut. I guess we'll see if one feels inferior to the other, or if we can teach them to both be cool in (or without) their own skin.

I've heard lots of people say this, so I'm kind of assuming that I'm missing something on this.
Seeing as I don't have a penis I want my husband to make the decision about circumcision.
My husband is also the only man I've ever been with. He's cut, but I voted that I don't care because, well, I don't care.
When we found out we were having a boy and had to seriously discuss the issue, my husband was adamant that our son not be cut. He's a physician, and his reasoning was that he didn't want to put his son through a procedure that wasn't medically necessary. I did the research and talked to our pediatrician, who supported that decision, and agreed with him. For what it's worth, neither of us is worried about having to explain to DS why he looks different from daddy. It's a pretty simple explanation.
Um I think penises are attractive. Well some are far more attractive than others for sure, but just like Sam in Sex is the City, I pretty much don't discriminate. Preference? Cut, pointing forward, and hedges trimmed as short as possible. All this being said, DH is uncut, points left, but he trims.... And damn he's good with what he's got. Don't worry ladies, don't clench your pearls. I was never close to a slut - I was always in stable relationships and only dated 6 people before I met DH. I've just always known what I like.

I imagine most adult men don't even know if their dad is circumcised or not, I know my husband doesn't know.
