Fore Sure

Dear Mistress Maeve,

I am a 23-year-old graduate student with what I consider to be an interesting personality, a bright future, and above-average looks.

I got out of a three-year relationship about a year ago and have been trying to get back into the game, but things are slow going. The problem is, whenever I try to get intimate with a girl, she immediately loses interest when she discovers that I'm uncircumcised. This has happened with three consecutive girls now. I practice very good hygiene, and it's not like I'm Ron Jeremy or anything, but I've looked around the locker room, and I'm not small by any means. Am I just on a streak of bad luck, or am I really destined to forever struggle with women due to my "birth defect"?

Signed,
Uncut and Unhappy

Dear Uncut,

Either you are dating the most shallow, narrow-minded women on Earth — or you're making it all up in your head (so to speak). Do these women actually tell you they're anti-foreskin, or are you assuming your uncircumcised penis turns them off? Because I don't know any women who have run screaming from a bed just because of an extra piece of penis skin. In fact, I know quite a few who prefer an au naturel member.

Functionally, there is no difference between cut and uncut penises, except that men with a foreskin have to be sure to clean well underneath it — no big deal. And, let's be honest — women have way more nooks and crannies to keep clean than men with uncircumcised shlongs do.

Don't blame these dating disasters on your foreskin. Sex is all about chemistry — something that was clearly lacking with the last three women you dated. When you find the right person, you'll quickly see that your worries about being uncircumcised are unfounded and unimportant.

For foreskin,
MM

Thank you MM!!! Being uncut was the best gift my parents ever gave me. Buddy, you should celebrate your natural state and let those girls realize down the road what they were missed out on. When I was younger I used to think that being uncut was strange or I had "birth defect" as you put it..now I realize, its completely AWESOME!! That skin is loaded with nerve endings in my opinion, and just makes sex even better..the stories I could share.

Uncircumcised is trés European. In many other parts of the world — very sophisticated parts of the world — uncircumcised is the norm. It was only after I lived & loved in Paris and Milan that I realized how much nicer foreskin is: there's more sensitivity, and blow-jobs / hand-jobs are a whole lot easier (there’s more to work with).

As long as you are diligent in practicing extremely good hygiene, there is really no difference. You'll eventually find an open-minded, enlightened woman who will love you for ALL you have. In the meantime, you don't need to mention it to prospective partners. (It's not like a STD, you have no obligation to give advance warning.) A condom and candlelight provide good camouflage. If your sleepover buddy is surprised in the light of morning, refrain from getting defensive, answer any questions, and suggest she talk to her gynecologist about concerns. You can even encourage her to help with the washing, giving her some control in making sure everything is squeaky clean.

My gynecologist theorized that uncircumcised partners are usually cleaner than their circumcised counterparts; given the attention they must give to prevent problems. In my experience, she’s absolutely right. I’ve been dating an uncut man for two years now, and I haven’t had any urinary tract infections or yeast infections since. (Despite a history of them with other partners.) Coincidence, or cleanliness?

I echo what the other commenters have said - I'm a 25 yo F & love the foreskin. If these girls are really freaking out over that, take it as a gift that your dick is weeding out the flighty, shallow ones & look for a more down to earth girl or one who is more sexually adventurous.

Tripple amen to all the above.
I am uncut and extremely pleased that my parents saw fit not to do elective cosmetic surgury on me without my permission. This IS my soapbox issue. Where do we get off allowing the medical profession - with support from the insurance industry - to do infant mutulation? Being born with a foreskin is not a condition requiring medical intervention.
The other thing that is really neat about having a foreskin is how much it inhances my self pleasuring practice.

"take it as a gift that your dick is weeding out the flighty, shallow ones"

brilliant!
