The Great Penis Flamewar (Funny stories about getting laid?)
Since I opened the can of worms, I might as well start.
For many weeks my partner and I had the weird coincidence that we got both phone calls when things were getting fun, it happened every time, and it was either back to back or at the same time. Now we turn off our cellphones.
Well, it's not really funny, but slightly amusing. XD

It was a few months later, and both of us were still single. We had been talking on the phone that week, and she mentioned the possibility of "friends with benefits." We were both single, had had sex with each other, and enjoyed it, so I was open to the idea.
About a week later, it just so happened that we were going shopping for Christmas presents. On our way to the store, my dad called, telling me to vacuum since he wasn't home. He apparently wanted it done before he got back. I apologized to Nicole (my ex), and we made a stop at my house.
As I was vacuuming, she was amusing herself by playing with my laptop (I believe it was Star Control II). She was lying on my bed, so I stopped vacuuming, and said, super suave:
"You know, my parents aren't home. This would be a perfect time to..."
Warning sirens went off in my head. What the fuck did you just say!? Did you think that would work? This isn't a fucking movie, dude! I trailed off at the end of the sentence, and she looked up at me.
She was smiling.
The rest, as they say, is history. It amazes me to this day that I pulled that phrase off. I think it has made me a braver person, in the long run. Though our days of frolicking are over, Nicole and I are still great friends. We're both a part of my high school crew, which still makes me proud. They all (with few exceptions) went to UC Berkeley, so they're still doing "teh awesome." I'm glad to have experienced what amounts to water brotherhood, and I hope it happens again.
Oh, and the sex was good, too.
I was with an ex last summer and when we first did it I found out he was uncircumcised. I never seen a guy like that before and it wasn't that good anyway.
A day or two later I got drunk with friends and said "Hey! You ever seen an uncircumcised penis! It's a dick with a hoodie on it!" Needless to say everyone was weirded out including him.
I really don't like guys with things like that. Kinda weirds me out.
Nothing to report on my end. I'm focusing on making life not suck so badly so it's going to be a while before I get a girlfriend.
This is no longer the case among the large pediatric groups, but individual doctors are still known to advocate circumcision, and in general it's passed into the popular consciousness as a non-religious custom. Fathers will have their boys circumcised simply because they themselves were circumcised, and everyone they know is circumcised.
1) Circumcised men are 20 times less likely to get penile cancer.
2) The Human Papilloma Virus thrives under and on the foreskin from where it can be transmitted during intercourse. Women are 5 times less like to get HPV from a circumcised man. The same is true for chlamydia.
3) Circumcised men are less likely to contract the HIV virus. (About three times less likely.)
4) Lots of people prefer the appearance of their penis after circumcision
5) Circumcision makes urinary tract infections 10 times less likely in infants.
6) Eliminates the risk of phimosis, which occurs in 1 in 10 adults.
7) Reduces the likelihood of inflammation or penile infection by 300%.
8) Uncircumcised men have 1.5-2 times the likelihood of contracting prostate cancer.
9) Most studies show that there is no significant difference in sensitivity or sexual gratification.
Now... whether or not the procedure (and its attendant risks) is worth these benefits is a matter subject to legitimate debate. But to say that there are no benefits is absolutely not true.
Plus all of kilarney's reasons.
@Viga: If my girlfriend asked me to get circumcised I would become highly suspicious.
I suppose in a situation of health benefits or social acceptance, at least in this case, the latter would be a more apparent problem.

I just typed a whole lot of stuff about my personal experiences, but reading back it seemed a bit weird so I deleted it.
Moving on, I've found being well groomed in the pubic hair area creates more interest with partners than being uncircumcised.

Anyway I really like the guy for who he was back then. It's just that making love to him was a bit of a chore. (Especially since he liked me going down on him the most. See why I think that.)
However, the bulk was taken from this pamphlet. In all fairness, the Gilgal Society takes a pro-circumcision stance. Nonetheless, my checking of various claims suggested that they had merit. I didn't, however, keep a list of all of the other sites I checked.
See, however:
Circumcision needed as remedy for some cases of phimosis.
Increased risk of urinary tract infection for infants.
Protection against penile cancer.
Reduces spread of HIV.
Reduced risk of prostate cancer.
Women prefer American penises more than those dirty British penises.
The information regarding sexual pleasure is not as clear.
I'm fairly neutral when it comes to this issue. I just had to point out that there are indeed benefits to circumcision. The question, however, is whether or not these benefits are worth the risk. Like I said earlier, reasonable minds can differ as to that.
You know what is better to stop the risk of HIV? Wear a condom.
The last link used as a sample women from the midwestern United States. It says about 85% of men in the US are circumcised, and that about 85% of women prefer it. Great. I'm glad that has a lot of relevance here in Germany.
I'm keeping mine, thank you.
Arthur C. Clark predicted in his book 3001 that circumcision will go the way of the dinosaur. When Frank Poole's frozen body was reclaimed from space (remember? HAL ejected him from the ship in 2001) and reanimated in the year 3001, he had a sexual encounter soon after. The woman was happy to get it on until she saw his "self-mutilation" down under.

Besides... who can ignore quotes like these:
Even when women grow up with uncircumcised fathers and brothers, or have uncircumcised sexual partners, the majority of such a group still prefer circumcised sexual partners.
Women state a preference for circumcised penises particularly for sexual activities like fellatio, but also for intercourse, manual stimulation, and visual appeal.
They say that this is primarily due to circumcised penises being cleaner and looking sexier.
And don't trust the Americans. Did you know that 90% of London prostitutes prefer a circumcised penis? I suspect that medicine will improve to the point that circumcision's benefits will be purely aesthetic/cultural. At that point, it will go the way of the dinosaur.
And, I think, I'm stepping out of this, but for to take the piss, from now on. Frankly, I've still got my foreskin, And while I've been with both men and women, All around the world, I've never had any complaints.
