I think it is fair to say... - Page 2  

post #21 of 23
Once I finally got through my thick skull exactly what the original poster and several others who followed meant (overall volume, not erect length), I thought of another point:

If it is fair to say that cut men have smaller penii than intact men, is it not also fair to say that restored men have larger penii than cut men because of all the additional (fore)skin cells they have grown?

One one will cling on whatever story they are told in order to push away the thought that they might be a victim of an unecessary procedure. It hurts having to admit something wrong was done to you, but it did happen. I feel DEEPLY sad when babies are mutilated at birth.

And what I said about women is that they often don't want to admit that the procedure that broke their heart putting their babies through was in fact unecessary!

It is a whole cycle of sad denial

I do get VERY upset when men and women cut their sons without giving it a lot of thought, or just because they want their babies to "look like daddy" - I did not talk about them in my post though.
Okay, then I apologize for being snippy. I just feel so bad for the men who have had this done to them.....they don't WANT to think they were ruined or that they aren't perfect. I think everyone should learn about this and come to the realization that it is harmful and unnecessary, but to the man who was circ'ed at birth....it's a hard pill to swallow that he is not perfect anymore. I think a person can understand the realities of RIC while also still feeling like there is nothing wrong with them. It doesn't change the person inherently so it hurts me to think that they'd feel bad for something they had no control over. My son was circ'ed before I knew better and the guilt kills me. I can't stand to think that any woman would put him down or choose not to be with him because of something I did. It wasn't his fault....it was MINE. He should not be punished for it.

Do I look at dh a little differently now that I know better? I do...... but I will never in a million years tell him that he is subpar. He had no control over what happened to him, just as my little boy had no control. He is still a wonderful person capable of amazing things.........but someone took something away from him that he'll never get back. And it is not his fault.

In my original OP I was meaning that if you remove any skin from anything then it is smaller. Maybe not noticably so but it has to be smaller. Just like the analogy of cutting paper you cut some off it is smaller.

I in no way blame any man for what was done to him. I think tho it is very important that everyone man or woman understands that when a penis is circed there is no longer as much there as there was before the circ.

I do not and would never blame my dh for what was done to him I dont even blame his mother because she did what the Dr's and everyone else at the time said was the right thing. I do blame the medical establishment tho for purpertuating all the circ myths.

I could have phrased it like that and saved a bit of confusion to me it basicly means the same thing tho. Remove skin = less penis skin = less room to grow.

I think it would hold back some of the potential growth. Even tho penile skin is very stretchy it can only go so far.
