I had a brief summer fling with an uncircumcised dude several months ago. I don’t like calling it a “fling” because it makes it seem like I took the whole thing really casually. I didn’t. I actually liked the guy a lot. He was tall, attractive, sweet and genuinely a really interesting guy. He was the first guy I’d ever hooked up with who “got” the whole internet / online / blogging thing. It was one of those situations where you meet someone, and you feel like they already “understand” you — even though you’re practically strangers. You know?
Plus, he had a beautiful penis. The skin was really smooth & uniform in color and texture. He didn’t have really large veins crawling throughout along the surface. He got hard as a rock when he was turned on; it was so long he actually tapped my cervix. And, he was uncircumcised. I’ve developed a slight preference for unsnipped cockadoodledoos because most of my ex-boyfriends and lovers have been Spanish, French, French Canadian, Mexican, Danish and other non-Americans. (Sure, I’ve dated white, Latino and black American dudes, too. But, there’s always something, you know, “missing.” I’m convinced it’s the foreskins and frenula.) Anyway. In the shower together, the fling (past lover? short-term affair?) asked me what size his penis was. “Oh,” I assured him, “you’re big.” His response was, “I guess that’s good to know. I don’t really have a point of reference because I don’t see other men’s penises.”
Straight men typically only see other penises up close and personal when watching porn; so they get “reality checks” from women. “I don’t know if I have a nice looking penis, wondered if you could tell me,” writes a Funky Brown Chick reader who shall remain nameless. “[I]ts not something that comes up when I am having sex. I’ll send you a pic if you dont mind telling me.” I figured: what the hell. I emailed him: “Send me a picture and I’ll let my readers tell you what they think.” He wrote me back. Here’s the photo. [NSFW.] Please share your thoughts. I’ll write more about circumcision tomorrow. In the meantime, please feel free to use the comments section to tell us your position on foreskins and penises in general. Do you prefer circumcised or uncirusized penses? If it doesn’t matter to you, feel free to answer this question: If you and your partner had (or adopted) a baby, would you circumcise them?

My father, being from haiti was uncircumcised… As an adult he got circumcised to join the army.
When I came along, my mom made sure that I was circumcised at birth!
Your view is really shocking to me, most girls I know don’t like uncircumcised. In health it was always made a point that it was “unclean.”
As for your last two questions… I don’t prefer ANY penis… and if the baby is a few months – I would have him circumcised (at this point) but I would do a bit of research.
1. The mans penis in the photo is on the larger side of normal. Ok, a little larger than average. It’s a nice penis. He should be proud of it. And a man who will send a chick a photo of his penis for her to judge? That man has few hang-up and probably more than his fair share of hook-ups!
2. As a former nurse, I know firsthand what happens when a baby boy is circumcised. Unless your religion dictates it, NO WAY! It’s a cruel medical practice that absolutely is unnecessary. Usually, doctors try to encourage it not because there is any benefit but because they are more comfortable with it.
Most mothers will opt for it so their sons can be like their fathers (not all, but most). Most fathers are dead set against it. They don’t care about how they look, they care about how that kid is going to feel!
While there have been studies that say that circumcision reduces a mans chances of contracting HIV, the study was done in parts of Africa where the virus rages out of control and with poor controls, so it was found to be inconclusive. Besides, if you educate society about safe sex, a foreskin or the lack of, isn’t going to make a difference.
I’m rambling a bit but seriously…
Save the foreskin! My one and only experience with an unsnipped penis was amazing. Need I say more?
It’s a cruel and unnecessary medical practice.
ME. Agreed.
Usually, doctors try to encourage it not because there is any benefit but because they are more comfortable with it.
ME. Doctors don’t encourage it any more.
Most mothers will opt for it so their sons can be like their fathers (not all, but most).
ME. Mothers like it because all the penises they saw while growing up were bald.
Most fathers are dead set against it.
ME. Wrong. Cut fathers often want their sons snipped because they think the uncut number looks weird.
They don’t care about how they look, they care about how that kid is going to feel!
ME. Some USA parents now understand that; many still don’t.
…if you educate society about safe sex, a foreskin or the lack of, isn’t going to make a difference.
ME. Condoms + daily shower = no risk, no stink.
My one and only experience with an unsnipped penis was amazing.
ME. That’s the most valuable thing you could post. A growing number of sophisticated American women concur.
thank God for green M&M’S……
lamesabassman……. that one would make some of the ladies who write in..smile.
If he’s inexperienced he has nothing to worry about, and if he is experienced the compliments he has no doubt received are in fact sincere.
My wife and I are content being child-free, but if we did adopt we would circumcise our baby boy because it is part of our tribal/religious identity; we would not want our hypothetical adopted son to feel any less Jewish than his playmates whose biological parents are Jewish.
oh WOW…Yours is sure nice.
I prefer my circumsized penis over all others. It fits wonderfully in my hand, and I have a long deep personal relationship with it. We’ve had all kinds of fun together….me and my “buddy”…I named him Rollo. =)
I read on an article not too long ago that something like 75% of men think their penis is “above average” size… Well, given the amazing laws of mathematics, that means 25% of men have an inflated view of themselves… Either way, I’m gonna guess that most guys have watched porn at some time in their lives, so they know what a dick looks like… And in my humble opinion, a guy who asks a girl if theirs is good looking or nice looking is just insecure… If it was indeed good looking or huge or whatnot, you would know – either because past partners would have told you, or because you compare yourself to what you have seen on those glorious movies you keep hidden in the trap door under the carpet. If you have to ask – well, maybe you should work on that self-esteem.
Twanna – and other girls – what I’m mostly curious about is the following: Whenever a guy who is smaller than average asks you this question, do you respond truthfully? Or do you lie a little so you don’t hurt him? Have you ever burst out laughing the first time you saw him? What’s the right approach to that question?
I don’t know if I’m snipped, unsnipped, large, or small – I can’t find it under all these damn feathers.
Well it’s certainly a nice looking one! I don’t prefer the uncircumcised penis nor a shaven one…but If he’s “the one” & that happens to be the case, I won’t sweat the small stuff.
very nice penis, larger than average. he should be proud, except…can we really be proud of something that is actually beyond our control? i don’t think i have a preference when it comes to circumcised or not. right, my man is very much not and also quite endowed. very yummy ;-)
Circumcision is mandatory here. It usually happens every summer. They set a tent up and all the local boys go there to have there schlongs seen to. It’s penis buffet but you’d cringe each time you see the pain each boy seems to be in.
Still, the description “beautiful penis” is interesting. Hahaha. Can’t quite get it out of my mind. Hahaha.
Why cut ur dick if not for some crazy ethnic/religious reasons. Cum as you are. God made us this way. keep that knife away. As for sex, probably has more to do with how u use your tool.
Dude in the photo has a lovely specimen.
Completely hittable.
I have to say my first boyfriend, being born in Trinidad, was uncircumcised. He was also insanely hung. As he was my first, this was a rather daunting situation. But I got over it *smirk*
Interestingly, his being uncircumcised was problematic: once I was on the pill and we stopped using condoms, I started getting recurring yeast infections. The nice people at Planned Parenthood were helpful in helping me narrow down the possible causes. Their suggestion was that I try going back to condoms, since it was likely that my being on the pill in conjunction with his being uncircumcised could account for a higher rate of yeast infections. My boyfriend’s Mom, who was a Nurse, confirmed that there was, indeed, a correlation between uncircumcised men and their wives having higher than normal instance of abnormal PAP smears. Regardless of how scrupulous he was (and he was SUPER scrupulous, believe me.) I had almost non-stop issues.
I told him he could go back to wearing condoms or chop it off, his choice.
He chose the latter.
He was 19.
This was A Big Deal.
But once he healed (one of these days I’ll have to write about the hilarity inherent in telling a 19 year old guy dating a horny as hell 16 year old girl to not get an erection for 7 days. Hah.) the yeast infections cleared right off.
Too bad our relationship cleared off too, within the next 8-10 months :-P
I do like the uncircumcised cocks, to be sure. And I know first hand that there is considerable loss of sensation for the man.
And hey, Hayden L. D. Joseph, if you ever read this…sorry about the foreskin, man.
Really.
Looks like a dick dude. Got one myself. No better, no worse. What do the broads think? If the kiss it they must like it, is all that matters.
So for the record big is now good? Cause seems a few manly mondays ago big wasn’t so good particularly when cervix’s were being tapped/poked.
Hey I even carry a picture of mine to show people in public. “Here’s my better half and the twins playing in the pool” Ha! “In Catholic school one day it was hurting and I showed it to Sister Evangeline the nurse and asked her what she could give me for it? “Straight A’s and a College Scholarship” she told me then started saying “For what I am about to receive…” and taking off her habit. I know droll, very droll.
hey….. penguins do know how to party….. trust me….. and since it’s been either
never or gave it up for Him…. even one the size of a pinky would fire them up..
but …. does size really matter….. cause the reverse of this piece would be if the
ladies were that “deep”….. would there be an echo….. could one ” drop ” in and
never be seen again….. and if so…. could we get an ” Ooooo” out or just an never
ending smile……
lamesabassman…… just a thought…..
There you go, thinking again. Don’t make me call the men in white coats. Just Kidding! Not that size matters just wondering how it got thrown in this manly monday as a good thing when it tapped a cervix but a few ago that was wrong…
something knockin’ on that Door like that….. I believe I kinda know about fun…..
that can’t be fun.. but.. it’s kinda like what my Grandpa would slip ‘n’ say 2 me
about when the Ladies take the Twins out for a walk….. ” son…. at times….more
than a mouthful is such a waste….”
lamesabassman…..” you can always get what you want.. you get what you need..”
I’m 28 and uncut. If I ever have children, I wouldn’t circumcise them. I believe that the foreskin (like any other body part) is there for a reason, and without it, I think sexual pleasure would diminish. I think everyone has a right to their own body and should be able to choose for themselves whether or not to do something like get a circumcision.
I feel that no woman, no person has the right to demand that any male get circumcised.
visit http://www.stopthecut.org and find out the truth.
How could anyone think for a moment that a mistake was made by God or Mother Nature (whatever you believe) that is so grave that it needs to be corrected in the first moments of life? All mammals have a foreskin. It is a normal, protective feature and it has a useful, necessary purpose. Foreskin amputation prevents normal function and removes up to 80% of the pleasure of sex for the man.

I’ve only had daughters, but my wife and I would never cut a boy baby. Where we live, the poor tyke would be seen as odd. Around here, it is not unusual to see another boy’s privates, when he is under age 8 or so, at the beach or pool. Mums here gladly change a boy’s nappie in public. And I can assure you that I’ve seen a cut willy only twice. Once the fellow was part of a Polynesian family (Samoans and Tongans cut) The other fellow was Malaysian or Indonesian or Filipino.
FBC, you’re not quite a foreskin fetishist, but you’re definitely a connaisseur of the uncut. It is sooo true, by the way, that we straight guys don’t know jack shit about the penis. We only know the one we happen to have, and it can only be one of cut or uncut. Gay guys, on the other hand… but do we want to go there?? Girls like you, FBC, who Walk on the Wild Side, do know a lot about Johnson, and long versus short sleeves. A fellow by the name of John Erickson was so angry about being circumcised as a baby that he asked prostitutes (perhaps the ultimate penis connaisseurs??) what they thought about cut and uncut. He wrote:
“A prostitute who’s had intercourse with literally thousands of men told me that intercourse with circumcised and uncircumcised men were two entirely different experiences, that she could always tell by feeling alone whether or not a man was circumcised, that circumcised men took longer to ejaculate and that they ‘have to work at it.’” (http://www.noharmm.org/spreadAIDS.htm.)
You write that cut men leave you with a sort of nagging feeling that there’s something missing. FBC, next time you’re alone in bed on a weekend morning, have a glass of wine, diddle yourself a bit, and daydream about foreskin. When you’re finished, head for your computer and write up your thoughts, then post ‘em on your blog. The closest thing I’ve seen is a hot passage by Jane Smiley in her novel Horse Heaven, where the heroine is being penetrated by a British racehorse trainer, whose penis suddenly “turned to silk.” She stops the humping and tells him about the delightful experience, to which he replies “That’s because I’m uncircumcised.”
Jane Smiley is a respectable writer, not a pornster. That passage is up there in my mind with Barbara Bradford Taylor’s hymn of praise to cunnilingus.
N. B. It is more important that a man eat pussy, and be good at it, than have or not have a foreskin. To fondle the foreskin is to pay homage to a very minor god called Priapus. But to place one’s face between a naked woman’s legs, and to get as close as possible to the vertical smile, is to worship the Goddess, pure and simple. Every woman deserves to be kissed down there. I am also amazed that few women are bisexual, and that close women friends don’t engage more often in a bit of private genital play. Lesbian sex is the safest sex by far.
gee…… is this a cut…. and print scene yet…… got visions of major owies running
thru my legs….. having been to those web sights…. and seeing what has been
done to women and men….. this has got to stop….. stay natural…..
lamesabassman…… if Adam and Eve didnt need it … why do we…
