Yeah. There's more physical sensation and lube is less required.
And the skin heals faster than whatever tissue makes up the head.
Bit more work to keep clean, but I highly recommend being uncut.
Oh sure, tell me that now!
You can actually reverse it.
Yeah they take a couple pieces of raw calamari and sew it on.
Idk, I think if my parents knew that I wouldn't have been so lucky.
Have you ever seen those water-wiggler/infinite tube things people used to give out as party favors way back in the before-times? It kind of works like having a built-in one of those at all times. That's why they started to encourage people to cut them off in the 1800s. People kind of forget that the whole reason Christians started doing it was prudes getting up in their feelings about men having a good wank and the corpos liking the idea of not being able to jack it without having to pay for some Vaseline or a bottle of Jergens.

The real reason for the prevalence of circumcision was to discourage "self-abuse".
I don't think it worked.
I think it reduced infection and such legitimately, in men. So called female circumcision, aka female genital mutilation, is done to prevent sexual escapades by woman, as I understand it.
