Over the weekend, I went to New York City to work on a few upcoming video projects – including a really creative video about foreskin. While that video won’t be posted for another week or two (stay tuned!), I recorded and shared a quick video about the notion that intact penises are somehow less beautiful.
I think people maybe be confusing “different” for “ugly.” Indeed, in the United States (and unlike most other countries), intact penises are far and few between. Rare and unusual? Yes. Ugly? No.
There’s nothing ugly about foreskin; it’s part of the natural and intended design for our male sex organs. Foreskin is beautiful.
Check out the video via my second YouTube channel, Davey Wavey Raw.

Europe = Uncut
Asia = Uncut
Africa = Uncut
South America = Uncut
Pacific = Uncut
Canada = Uncut
US = Cut.
So who are we kidding? Uncut it is. Despite all the rubbish that Bono spouts about STDs and uncut.

Sadly it’s not as, um, clear-cut as that. But the truth is not what many USAmericans imagine. People who are cut:
1. Muslims,
2. more than half USAmericans,
3. Filipinos
4. Tribal Africans
5. South Koreans
6. Jews
7. Eastern Polynesians
8. Some Melanesians
9. Australian Aboriginals
10. (Older Commonwealth and “upper-class” Englishmen, but not younger – it did no good and they gave it up.)
So, not cut:
1. China
2. Europe and Scandinavia
3. South and Central America
4. Japan
5. Russia and Siberia
6. Non-Muslim India
7. Most of South East Asia
8. The other USAmericans
9. Scotland Ireland and Wales
10. Western Polynesians
11. the other Melanesians
12. Younger Commonweath and Englishmen

I don’t really care, dick is dick and that’s all that matters, it’s not like they chop off your penis’ head when they circumcise you
February 1, 2012 at 3:05 am
They do however cut out half the nerve endings in the penis, which is a much bigger deal then people think. The foreskin does more for your senses then your dicks head does.
February 5, 2012 at 2:33 am
Not usually, only sometimes. In three recent court cases, the makers of the Mogen Clamp lost millions after exactly that happened, and the company has gone out of business.

Thank you T-rev
Davey want you tube ratings and that’s all he cares about. This is the second time in 8 months his talking blog is about circumcise dicks…
February 1, 2012 at 5:03 am
Before watching your videos, I didn’t even think this was an issue!
Washing an uncut just gives you more reasons to touch it
April 29, 2012 at 4:01 pm
i agree
February 1, 2012 at 6:39 am
It seems to me that I heard somewhere that the San Francisco city council had banned, or was considering banning, involuntary circumcision. I was hoping someone on this blog would have confirmed that.
Circumcision has its pros and cons. I am opposed to involuntary circumcision because it does remove nerve endings leading to less enjoyment of sex in later life. While some may find uncut appealing, there is nothing appealing about the smell (and taste) of smegma. Uncut guys say the problem can be avoided with proper hygiene, however. I regret that I was circumcised at birth as were all of my brothers. I would have preferred to have made that decision myself. I will say that my uncut lover said he would have preferred to be cut. I guess it’s all a matter of personal choice, if not religion.

@Joel J:,@Everyone:
I haven’t heard about,so don’t know about the S.F. proposal,Joel.However,if the proposed ban were total,the law would eventually be found to be un-constitutional:Violation of religious freedom.Unlike physically dangerous practices[such as snake-handling],circumcision of infants is,of course,a sacred tenet of Muslim,Jewish religion.
As for smegma,in the aftermath of Elvis’ death,the press revealed that he was “un-cut”.Perhaps Elvis died of terminal smegma!!
February 5, 2012 at 2:40 am
There were enough signatures to hold a referendum in SF, but a judge struck it down and now the State Senate has passed a law completely deregulating circumcision, so that a man can circumcise his 17 year old with box cutters for failing his driver’s licence.
Women have smegma, more copious and pungent than men’s, but cutting any part off them is illegal. (Yet many think that is a sacred tenet of the Muslim relgion.) Smegma is about as toxic as earwax, so in your dreams about Elvis, bill(G3)
February 1, 2012 at 5:45 pm
I completely agree. Nature’s design is all too often tampered with to satisfy the fearful sensibilities of the uninformed and the ignorant. Short of the religious dedication, there is no viable reason to remove a male’s foreskin. Asthetics is never an acceptable argument for the mutilation of another person.
February 1, 2012 at 10:33 pm
@Bill(Guillermo3)
William,
I always thought Elvis’ death was the result of extreme constipation since he was found on his toilet seat, but terminal smegma sounds like a reasonable alternative. We all know it couldn’t have been a drug overdose since Nixon had appointed him chief spokesman for the president’s anti-drug campaign.
February 1, 2012 at 11:07 pm
@clippersuper:(Just WHAT do you clip?,BTW)
cilppersuper,or should that be clippersupper?,
You are hilarious !!
But looks aside[since I can't see you:don't have that app],I like the smegma theory[long as I don't have it in fact],but it was probably terminal bowel-blockage,as Elvis was known to live on burnt bacon & mashed,with lots and lots of butter.Drug czar,or not,I believe he was a meth addict,which may account for the drivel of his later music:”Don’t Cry,Daddy”,”U.S. Mail”,etc. To quote Conrad,”The horror!The horror!,The horror!”or as one of his staff said on news of E.’s death,”Good career move”.
It’s bill(Guillermo3),BTW.

@bill(Guillermo3)
bill(never again to be called “William” in these quarters),
Thank you for the kind remark. Your “terminal smegma” theory has a lot going for it since Elvis, at the time of his death, was so fat he probably couldn’t find his dick let alone clean it properly. Perhaps, however, someone in his posse was tasked to locate and clean Elvis’ appendage. Since this poor fellow (or gal, most likely) would have had to find a different job following the Great One’s demise, it leads to interesting speculation how she would have described this period of employment on her resume.
The burnt bacon and peanut butter and banana sandwiches could have been contributing factors. In the interests of medical science, someone needs to exhume the body buried at Graceland. If there is a big lump of goo where Elvis’ intestines would have been, then we’ll have the answer for sure.
BTW, “clippersuper” is derived from a couple different Packard Clipper Super automobiles I used to own and drive, which should give you some indication of my advanced age. I use this handle on all my important communications. In my own defense I should point out that I bought these cars well after the demise of the Packard Motor Car Company.
Maybe now we have finally hijacked this thread from all those BBs who felt it necessary to inform the world of their cut/uncut status and how they wish it were otherwise. If wishes were horses we’d all be hung like one. That was for the size queens out there.

Gawd,clippersuper!
I thought I wrote a lot,but you’ve got me beat by miles! Thanks !!!
I’ve been up all night,working on a present[belatedly,for their wedding] I was supposed to friends today,but around 8:45,it became clear that I wasn’t going to/shouldn’t make the trip today.SO:I’m brain-dead,but briefly__
Packard,eh?That was the only model car my grandfather[born in 1875] would drive/own.
I’m fascinated by Graceland_never been there,but I hear it’s like Lourdes:legions of the King’s faithful waiting for a miracle.
Our conversation is much more enjoyable than D.W.’s tired foreskin obsession,the discussion boiling down to those who don’t have it want it,and those who do have it don’t want it.BORING.
Best,

@bill(Guillermo3)
bill,
Did you see Davey’s video blog posting today? He’s flogging the same dead foreskin theme AGAIN, albeit with a bit of macabre humor this time.
So far, looking at the first two comments, there appears to be a small uprising in the ranks. Apparently they haven’t worked out that DW is laughing at them as he produces this spot.
BTW, I plan on stealing a couple of your most apt turns of phrase in recent postings (Elvis’s death was a “good career move” and “Graceland…is like Lourdes; legions of the King’s faithful waiting for a miracle to happen”) and using them when appropriate. OK by you?

Hi clipper!
Just woke up 45 min.ago_This old man shouldn’t do all-nighters,unless,of course,it’s the Rapture,and the King is back.
As for my Elvis comments,steal away!!! But they’re not mine anyway:A friend told me about “Good career move ” in a bar shortly after the king proved mortal.True,supposedly.The Lourdes observation came from the NY Review a few years later.Amazing what we humans can fall for,eh?
BTW:Chanced on a great youtube documentary[7parts] on the Westboro Baptist Church:”The Most Hated Family in America.”

@Hugh7:
Sad,Hugh7,very sad!!!
You seem both as obsessed with this subject as ever (If you miss your foreskin,I can only hope it missed you as deeply) AND,as completely humorless.We have tees thang in ‘Merica:Ees called joke.
February 5, 2012 at 3:14 am
@Hugh7:
Just got your comment[far above] at 2:05am Sunday,Hugh7:
Strange,because I had to search “older comments” to find it & to reply.
Last I heard,Jews,Muslims,and most of the others you list(you seem to have forgotten Venusians and Martians) could be “USAmericans”,as you put it.
Please stop obsessing about your foreskin,or lack thereof,and concentrate on the dreaded,apparently incurable disease:STUPIDITY.
February 5, 2012 at 3:48 am
Well, I’m sure glad my parents didn’t cut me. I love my foreskin, and it’s not as dirty as you people make it sound. I’m very clean so I am always rinsing there. I feel sorry for the cut people though, I’ve heard they don’t feel as good as we do.
February 6, 2012 at 5:18 pm
I don’t understand why parents lets their baby boy be cut. I would NEVER let anyone play with knifes near my boys dick if it wasn’t for _real_ medical issues.
And if the reason is “its ugly” then its same as plastic surgery. I don’t think many parents would be okay with cutting their babies nose just because its big and ugly.
Also i would never wanna increase the chance that my boys feeling would faint down there. its like people playing guitar, their fingers get used to the strings and get harder and lose their feeling. the same with the dick, the foreskin protects the dick from losing its feeling and sex is about feeling good together.

It seems that the medical profession in the US has succeeded a long time ago in brianwashing new parents to believe that their newborn son’s penis is defective the way it is, thus needs to be ‘fixed’ via circumcision. Why would people believe that the male sex organ is defective the way that it is? More to the point, why, as a new parent, would you not do a little research on this topic before the baby boy is born? Parents are making a decision for their son that is not theirs to make. It is not theirs to make. The baby boy’s penis should be left intact. If, when the boy grows to adulthood chooses to be circumcised, that’s his decison. I don’t care what religion you belong to, its not another persons’ decision to do that to an infant.
