For any guy who WANTS to answer

Tell me, do you like that you are intact/circumcised and why?

i was circumcised as a baby, my parents are a bit conservative because circumcision was at the time almost non existent for children.
i honestly do not know how to feel about it as i only lived the life of a circumcised person, if i was able to compare i would say if i prefer circumcised or not. currently though i live a normal life that doesn't affect me if i am intact or cut

I got circumcised as a baby, I think in NZ at that time it was considered standard practice. As I understand it, circumcision results in a less-sensitive glans, which sounds like a poor idea: but obv there's no real way to know, short of bugging ppl circumcised as adults.

yes it was at its highest at that time, about 95%

my dad probably was cut too since in the 70s it was still higher than 50%, well by the late 90s it was almost 0% but I happened so... :p

@firefall: In my view, it is common sense obvious that circumcision gradually dulls the glans, but science has been unable to nail this.
I suspect that the problem is most apparent after age 40-50, but at that stage in life, men blame any penis deficiencies on aging alone.
I also believe that the body parts removed by circumcision are intensely sexual. They are very rich in nerves. Foreskin motion is a major player in masturbation, foreplay and penetrative sex.
Even men circumcised as adults (who are not that numerous) are limited in what they can say about the sexual consequences of circumcision. Memories of what life was like when they were intact, fade quickly. But it is easy, given contemporary mores, for a woman to date a cut guy one weekend, and an intact guy the next. I have a lot of time for the views of women, and quite a few American and Canadian women have revealed in social media that they prefer intact.
