This is another one of those posts where I'm going to be brutally honest about sex. So if you're easily offended, or will go around spreading rumours about me being promiscuous (simply because I have an opinion about sex?) then... stop reading. Just click on one of my ads and go shopping instead.
But the truth of the matter is the penis is ugly.
Now don't get me wrong... I do love a hard cock. I don't bat for the other side.
But when I look back at past BFs ... I'd have to say that perhaps all but one had ugly penises. One was worse than ugly (read on!).
It didn't stop me from "loving" those men (despite their aesthetically challenged penises).... I'm using inverted commas because I'm not sure if I really knew what love was back then.
One particularly bad penis belonged to my then BF, let's call him George. (He was actually Mr Print & Wank I wrote about before!). Although of good size... George's penis had tight foreskin. It was so tight it couldn't move back much ... in fact it didn't expose the head at all. Even when he peed.
So imagine - piss that comes into contact with the underneath bit of foreskin that can't get washed. Ever.
Yuck. Not just the smell... but the taste! I shudder at the recollection. :(
If I were to nominate someone for a circumcision, he'd be first on my list. It's not based on aesthetics... but something more pressing... Hygiene!
(He doesn't read my blog. But if he does see this and knows it refers to him... I'm not being a mean person but merely being honest. It is not some hate post that's meant to shame him, that's why I don't use real names).
Only about 20% of men in the world are circumcised. The majority of which are Muslims, Jewish, and American.
Some people call it genital mutilation. They think it's an unnecessary surgery. And that the foreskin has nerve endings so if you cut that off, sensitivity dips and sex isn't as good. I for one can vouch that in terms of penetration, it makes no difference to the woman. And that both men with foreskins and those without seem to enjoy sex equally. It's not as if the circumcised one climaxed with a grateful smile while the uncircumcised one blew his brains out when he came.
If sex is the same.. then why circumcise???
Well... here are Holly Jean's Top 5 Reasons Why She Prefers a Cut Penis.
5. It slides up and down more easily, foreskin can get in the way. I mean... it's a bit of flappy skin... what do I do with it?!
4. Lower risks of infections. Dirt, urine etc doesn't have anywhere to get trapped.
3. It's cleaner. Yes... I know that soap and water exists. But any bit of sweat or moisture smells and tastes putrid underneath that foreskin. And Smegma was it's name-o.
2. Lower incidence of STDs.
No kidding. I read it here on WebMD. Plus, women cannot see the whole penis, and thus will not spot any genital warts or rash that might be lurking under the foreskin.
1. Visually MUCH more attractive.
A neat penis looks sexier. Flappy skin only looks good on Shar peis.

Men I know who have had circumcisions (either at birth or adult) do not regret it. Yet some other uncircumcised men will rather chop a finger off than go for the snip. When I have a son, do I circumcise him as a baby (Jewish tradition)... or let him decide when he's an adult? I don't know.
Girls, what do you prefer? And men, what do you think?
Having tried a circumcised penis...will I ever go back to the au naturel ones? I doubt so. But never say never... maybe he'll be rich enough to make up for the inconveniences of putting up with an uncircumcised penis!
I jest. Please do realise that most of this article was written tongue-in-cheek (or maybe not tongue).

Cogently put.
Holly, i definitely agree with you, snip it off!!!! if i got a son in the future, i will do the procedure as soon as the doctor allows me too....another thing u missed out beside the smell and dirt....to be direct, it's the 'cheese' LOL
Holly,
Perhaps, a reason why females/mothers seem to endorse the operation with such enthusiasm is the fact that it is one way a matriarchal society can permanently influence the physical characteristics of its males

interesting. i wish the topic could be longer. = )
i'm a muslim.as a muslim,it is compulsary for men to circumcised their penis due to hygenic factors as well as listed.
I COMPLETELY agree with you about circumcision! And I read about the STD thing too!
By the way, since you mention that a penis looks ugly, I concur. Kinda looks like the pelvic region threw up and forgot to clean up after itself! Sorry, fellas! Hahah. But I, like you, I love a good cock myself.
ahem... seriously speaking, apart from saying a penis looks ugly (sori guys) but to be fair I always felt that the exterior of female's private part is equally ugly too (errr.. sorry gals!!)
Not sure if any gals agree with me? : (
WHAT? You know men who had an adult circumcision? Details, please! I may be revealing my naivety here but I've never heard of anyone doing that.
haha, i like the last sentence, particularly the part in parentheses.
TOTALLY AGRREE WITH YOU!!!! I had such talks with my gfs and best boy friends abt this issue. I told them most gals would prefer cut skins but they do not believe me. Personally, i think cut skins are more clean and nicer looking! haha... glad that you had put up this post so singaporean chinese men are aware of such things do exist from women or else they would hv the thinking that only malays do that. haha
anon 3.56 - a friend of mine was dating a japanese girl. and she wanted him to snip it... AN HE DID! Done in normal hospital. took a couple of weeks to recover (which is why i think it's less harrowing to get it done as a baby).
my bro when his was small, cant pee, it hurted b4 he was circumised...
its for good cause..
MAybe the unusual male anxiety over genital surgery must be castration related - not unfounded since one of the original motivations proffered for circumcision was of symbolic castration.
Holly Jean 7:26 - Wow that's pretty crazy. At least it worked out for him. Are Japanese men typically circumcised? I thought it was something only Jews Muslims and Americans did.
this is really a good post. i have a friend who said "snipped" penis enjoy lesser den the one not snip yet. can we really find a real facts bout the difference/which one is better on the net bout this? cos im gonna show it to him, so he will maybe consider that.
i think its quite ok if they wash properly every visit to toilet, but some who don wash at all except when bathing..n imagine not wash,n suck it..ewwwwwwwww!!!!!!
have u put something that is not washed after peeing?? if yes, how u react/get him to wash w/o hurting his feelings?
pardon my bad english.
Ugh, the uncircumcised. Can't say I'm a fan. I know one guy who hates being uncircumcised but he's too scared to get it snipped now. You'd think he would just get it over with rather than be self conscious the rest of his life. I feel bad for him - that's why it's better to do it when they're young and won't remember.
BTW there's a new study out that disagrees that it makes no difference to the woman - now they're saying it's better for her if the man is circumcised:
http://men.webmd.com/news/20090721/male-circumcision-improves-sex-life-for-women
Love your brutal honesty =) I definitely relate to your post.
A guy I went out with for a bit had the same problem as your 'Mr Print and Wank'. Let's just say i HATED going down on him, except maybe after a shower. Even then, there was a lot of hesitation.
He probably thought that I was an extremely selfish girl =D
Jo
I agree w/ Jo - good to see someone who's not afraid to tell it like it is. While I wouldn't turn a man down for being uncircumcised, I have to say I'm a little disappointed if I find out a new man is packing foreskin. It's also interesting to me that every uncircumcised guy I've met (granted only three that I know of) would rather have been circumcised, including the one who went out and got it taken care of when he turned 18.
The best sex I have ever had is with my BF whom is not cut. He has had not problems and it does not smell.
I think every man should have the choice on whether he wants it cut off or not. Several guys that I have been with over the years have very little feeling due to being cut compared to my BF now.
Many myths about circumcision can be found on http://www.ksnocirc.org
To remove a body part for what might simply be "a neat penis"looks or taste better. its really beyond the pale. Germs? Dirt? maybe as a mother you should teach good personal hygiene. Its called genital mutilation because that is what it is. If the case is medical then all tonsils and appendix's should be removed at birth. Interesting topic and interesting opinions i will say.
To be honest, the only thing I don't like about the penis is the scrotum. I mean obviously it has its practical applications but I'm just not a fan.
yes. u have a point there abt the scrotum.... though even with tht, some men have good looking ones (good size, good colour,etc). and some other men have huge or ultra dangly ones!!
I totally agree,circumcision is the best thing to do for a men.i had mine just years ago when i was 19,and trust me and trust holly,it works well boys and girls.Its easier to slide up and down just as mentioned,yea,it sounds scary to snip it off,but trust me,once you do it,you will feel the same way im feeling now,happy.
p.s. at least you dont have spend few mins to do some 'parking' procedures sliding your skin each time you wanna make some real love with your partner
"...maybe he'll be rich enough to make up for the inconveniences of putting up with an uncircumcised penis!"
ERRR...
Says alot about you girlfriend! It's not that hard to figure out why you're not married, yet, afterall, perhaps? :)
Wow, what a disturbing blog post and subsequent comments section.
I guess its too much to ask for a circumcising culture to realize what they are actually doing. Its the same way in cultures that practice FGM... it seems normal to them, and they conjure up all kinds of silly reasons why its better to cut up the female genitals. Many of those reasons are exactly the same as the ones on your list.
The foreskin is HEALTHY, SENSITIVE, FUNCTIONAL, EROGENOUS genital tissue. a non-retracting foreskin can be stretched, and unclean penis can be washed. A grown man can make an informed decision about his own penis. The idea that this should somehow be a parent's choice, or that a woman's sexual preference should determine what happens to an infants genitals... DISGUSTING. I honestly wish you could open your minds enough to see that... but I realize that is too much to ask of most of you.
It really confuses me though, how a woman can speak of a foreskin as a place for infection and dirt to get trapped.. when the part between her own legs gets infected MANY MANY times more often, its definitely an area where dirt and grime can get "trapped" if a foreskin can. Is it all self-loathing? Do you hate your own privates? I mean, you must realize that if you call a foreskin "flappy skin" you are saying something about your OWN genitals.
And smegma (aka dick cheese) is a substance which develops on unwashed female genitals at a MUCH greater rate. The smell of unwashed female genitals is FAR higher.
Yes we adore female genitals, I would confess to being a huge fan of how they look. Is it so much to ask that you maybe get over your desire to justify the genital cutting of our culture, and realize that hygiene is the solution, not a razor blade?
tongue-in-cheek or not.. its a pretty lousy opinion to have. I hope you will do your future son a favor and do some real research before choosing to cut off thousands upon thousands of highly specialized fine touch nerve endings (similar to those found in the fingertips and lips) away from his healthy, normal, functioning penis.
errr... anon 2:30
she did say directly after that line you quote... that she was only joking. Aiyoh... it's meant to b funny la.
and what has it got to do with her not being married?!
Pity you can't just cut the scrotum like the foreskin...hmm...
waahhh kakakakakaaa... good one!!!
well...it is just skin at the end of the day...
why not...
Hi Everyone
im Muslim + British
i was circumsised at birth...
and i must say its better that way
i mean which women can resist 15% off
ANYWAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT CUT YET
YOU ARE MISSING ALOT
how i wish the female also gets the snip off their vulva....same argument as the foreskin for guy
holly...is yours?
Just say u are lazy to retract the foreskin and wash.
If you are just as lazy to wash your hair and it stints, do u (holly) shave bald then?
absurd
Got a pussy sew it up with thread and needle.
HI all...
:) some of your comments are really witty - lol -
i esp love:
=Pity you can't just cut the scrotum
=it's just skin at the end of the day...
=Got a pussy- sew it up !
----------------
It's not the vulva that gets snipped for girls, I think it's the labia. Well.. some women have really ugly flappy ones which makes them feel self conscious (with a lover)and they opt for the snip, well vaginal reconstruction or whatever it's called. Not that uncommon.
No, mine's not snipped. lol
---------------
I hear all your arguments. But I have to say... I'm not sold on the foreskin thing. I still prefer a circumcised penis. And I still haven't met a man who is circumcised but wishes he wasn't.
denial? perhaps.
But i know which I prefer.
girl just sew it up...
Who want to sew my pussy?
Just in case
I shld clarify the above comment was not by me.
Whenever I comment, I log in with my account so u can see my pic, and if you click on "hollyjean", you will get to my blogger profile.
So tht way u know the comment was really by me, and not someone who just keys in the nickname as hollyjean :)
You can joke about labiaplasty all you want, because its a choice made my a consenting adult.
However, in some cultures they remove that and more from young girls who can't make that choice. Thankfully such operations are illegal in North America. Sewn up vaginas are no joke, but then, I don't find male circumcision funny either.
In my opinion, Holly Jean, go ahead and have your own sexual preferences. some guys prefer obviously fake breasts that look like watermelons. But, that is no reason to cut off extremely sensitive, healthy, functional genital tissue from a child. It just ISN'T.
If you want to know about circumcised men who wish they weren't... look up foreskin restoration. There are thousands and thousands of American men who purchase devices which they attach to their penis to slowly stretch and regrow tissue that can simulate a foreskin (though actual nerve endings lost are never regained). Thousands of men feel violated and victimized by the practice.
you've probably never heard circumcised men complain because men don't generally go around telling their friends about the things they DON'T like about their penis. How many men have personally confided in you about how unfortunate they feel to have a small penis? If you are unhappy with something, its not something you tend to share with a lot of people.
In the end, if you have a child, and they wish they were circumcised.. at least they can go have it done. If you choose circumcision for someone, you inflict damage on them which can never fully be undone.
HI joel.
of course I don't condone the sort of genital mutilation (on girls) tht goes on in such patriachal societies.
and of course there are men who wish they were never circumcised... though if we searched the internet there are probably just as many men who wish they were circumcised.
Yes, men don't gripe about their penises much.. but I certainly don't expect that they're unhappy about their circumcisions if they tell me explicitly that they are happy with it :S
point noted abt "choice" and tht my son (future), may appreciate having that choice when he's old enough. will deliberate when the time comes.
But I still like circumcised penises.
sound like Jeanholly is a shemale..from Joel reply..
Holly, you do condone any form of genital cutting on infant girls?
Men who wish they were circumcised can make that choice, so I don't see how its comparable.
I actually don't believe a whole lot of men in circumcising cultures ARE unhappy to be circumcised. Just like in cultures that do the MOST brutal, most severe forms of mutilation of any kind.. the people who undergo the procedures or reflect on them, however debilitating, with pride.
Yet, from an outsider perspective, its easy to see the fault in tying up a young girls feet so they wont grow as she ages.
The way I see it.. female genital mutilation isn't wrong. If you want to cut off your clitoris, or even cut your own legs off, I honestly do not care. But there are certain things I stand up against when they are done on babies.. even if they grow up to defend you doing it to them.
You can like circumcised penises all you like... thats ultimately not the aspect of your post that bothered me in the slightest. You can like tattooed men too, just don't think that makes it okay to tattoo a child.
edit:
the people who undergo the procedures, however debilitating, reflect on them with pride.
Lolz. Snipping off the skin.... Ouchie...... That guy prob cant leave the house for the next ... 2 week? can't pee properly, can't have an erection... lolz..... i can still remember how it felt. thank god i was young, else i might just removed "all of it". (",)
Lolz....
I agree that that scrotum is awful...
How is dangly nice?
It's like, just dangling there, waiting to be smacked/kicked
CIRCUMCISION UP!!
haha..
won't removing the scrotum be considered a castration?
Yes, removing the scrotum is just dumb... unless the guy doesn't mind having no balls... literally...also you have to realize once you remove the balls, he will really be less of a man... you know... not much testosterone..., guess some of you just don't think about things like that but just about how things looks like.
Personally I'm circumsized, I think to each his own, Joel especially. Being circumsized, I feel its cleaner and easier to take care of. I got circumsized later in life too and yes it bloody hurts, reason, hygiene.
Hey I was young, like 11, but still, it hurt. I can't say we better it feels better or not while having sex since I obviously wouldn't have had sex at 11 though in today's world its hard to say...
My older brother also got it done later in life... generally I don't think its all that big a deal, it just feels cleaner, like having trimmed your pubes will make you feel cleaner.
If I had a choice, I'd rather it got done to me as a baby so I don't remember as going into that operation room was SCARY... and the injection before the anesthetic... PAINFUL, yes it would hurt a couple of weeks after especially if you get erections...
Cheers to all and again, to each his own. If you never experienced it, you won't miss it. Also, I doubt many people feel inadequate just because they don't have foreskin :p
Typo - I can't say we better
Obviously I meant - I can't say whether...
holly, post your labia photos here.. i will tell whether you need to cut your labia or not..
Haven't been here in ages, but interesting debate: and I'd have to agree with Joel. Condoning male genital circumcision implies you also condone female genital circumcision. So would you support your putative husband if he wanted to have your 6 month-old (hypothetical) daughter genitally circumcised then Holly?
no of course not. I dont see any benefit ( aesthetic or otherwise) to snipping off the clitoris.
I think there is a gross ignorance here.
Aforementioned previous boyfriend must have been suffering from tight foreskin, due to his ignorant parents whom forgot to teach him how it should function and be pullable back.
It has nothing to do with being circumcised or not, however being so prevents this issue.
Here is a good explanation:
http://www.embarrassingproblems.com/problem/penis-problems/tight-foreskin
"
In small children the foreskin is tight and stuck to the glans, but normally begins to separate at about the age of 3 or 4. If the hole in the foreskin looks abnormally tiny, ask your doctor to check.
After the age of 7, it is usually possible to pull the foreskin back over the head (or glans) of the penis, but in some boys this is not possible before the age of 14 or 15. So if you are 13 or 14, do not worry – this is perfectly normal.
If you are 15 or over and cannot pull your foreskin back, it may be too tight.
"
Treatment:
- gentle stretching. If not possible any more, then:
- circumcision or
- preputioplasty.
HJ,
i can shed some light on the perceived pain and suffering of having a circumcision. i had my foreskin snipped off 2 yrs ago at the age of 28. Reasons i shall keep to myself for now, but to put it simply, it was the first time i was having raw sex with my then GF, now wife and i discovered that my foreskin was prone to tearing.
before u start mocking me for discovering it so late, i had always used a condom prior.
anyways, i had the op. done on friday afternoon, took a taxi home after and spent the weekend chilling out at home. sure it was sore and my penis was erect for like 1 day but i survived.
all i restricted myself to was no physical activities to prevent sweating and risk of infection.
my monday i was back and work, and my wed i was giving my GF a treat by screwing her brains out with my newly cut cock.. ^_^
and boy did she enjoy it! her first comment was how sexy and manly it looked. secondly, she loved the way the exposed cock head and rim felt in her mouth and in her pussy. she said she could feel the rim and exposed grooves and veins rubbing her inner pussy and she came like crazy...
so fast forward, we're married now... but she still loves my cut cock... and because hygiene levels are up, ie. no pee residue and good ventilation (i wear boxers), she just loves to pull my shorts down at home and suck me off... sometimes even on low traffic roads she just unzips my pants, pulls out my cock and deep throats me! i just love it.
CUT COCKS ALL THE WAY !!!! hahhaha
hey alsocan... thank u for sharing tht :)
HJ,
ur very welcome. ^_^
All but one? Who was the one?
haha.. I CAN'T NAME HIM !! Cos if I Name the ONLY ONE good looking penis.. then people who know my ex bfs of the past will know who were the ones with the not great looking penises!!
I still don't get it. Holly, are you still a virgin?
girls love my cock. and im not snipped :)
Real girls are not the only ones with a preference for cut or uncut cocks. I'm a gay transvestite, and even though I won't necessarily turn down sex with some guy just because he isn't snipped, if given a choice, I'd want him to be cut. I've seen my share of ugly cocks but then again, I'm a lover of all cocks. I'm totally bummed that I'm not a real girl. I've always wished I was born a girl because no surgery can make a guy into a real girl, only fakes and neither guys or real girls want to be near gay girls guys dressed up like girls. Yes, There are quite a few horny men that will let he/shes like me go down on them while they fantasize us being the real thing. But when its over, they can be nasty and mean to us, After all, we are guys pretending to be real girls. We're just creatures to most of the world, hated by so many.
There is a reason it is called the unkindest cut of all.
