  • yes, although the vast majority of circumcised individuals can still copulate, feel sexual gratification, orgasm, etc., the level of sensation loss is so massive that the two experiences are not comparable. As someone circumcised after their first sexual experience, I can confirm this fact. While yes, you can wear a cock ring to immobilize the foreskin to simulate the loss of gliding action, the sensations brought about from tissue that is removed in circumcision makes that simulation a still better experience than the circumcised experience.

    All that said, the level of sensitivity declines as you age after circumcision because the head of the penis will generate a thick layer of keratin in response to external friction that wouldn’t occur if the penis was covered by foreskin, much like a callous that develops on your feet or hands from over-manipulation/exposure to stress. Many accounts of adult circumcision cases fail to follow up with patients as they age and the keratin layer develops over time.

    My penis was incredibly sensitive feeling following circumcision, but some time later it was dull feeling. Years later, it was numb to sensations of temperature and light touch.

    Now, that said, I’ve been undergoing circumcision reversal, and I’m about half way restored. The only parts that have improved are the keratin layer (gone now, temperature and light touch are restored slightly), and the gliding motion.

    • the feeling in the rigid band? Gone
    • the purse string muscular effect of gathering the skin forward? Gone. (Although skin tensing still occurs when I’m cold, it’s not sufficient to keep the skin forward, and the muscle is gone, so the skin doesn’t collect forward by itself)
    • the frenulum? Drastically reduced; in fact, the amount removed varies case to case because our individual anatomy has variation, and the procedure is done by humans which also introduces variation
    • the amount of mucosal derived lubrication? Drastically reduced

  • It’s mutilation because it’s a permanent, irreversible removal of the most sensitive parts of the penis, removes the gliding action, protection of the head of the penis, there’s no free option to get reversal surgery to restore gliding action (the rest is lost permanently and can’t be replicated without tissue regeneration technology that hasn’t come to market yet, which may never come to market), usually the frenulum is removed (it’s the most sensitive area), etc.








  • A lot of these actually make a lot of sense. All of these countries make it incredibly hard to integrate into society as a foreigner either because of domestic policy or straight up the language barrier.

    In the case of Tunisia, it’s the most liberal Arab country, which is remarkably close to France because of colonialism. Many Arabs wouldn’t want to move to such a place. I don’t think Tunisian Arabic would be the barrier there.

    Polish is fucking difficult to pronounce with its 4 and 5 consonant clusters (if I had to guess, most languages max out at 3), and it’s not found anywhere else in the world because Poland didn’t colonize anywhere. They were lucky to get their own country if you look into their history.

    Armenia is incredibly socially, religiously, and linguistically dissimilar to everywhere around it. Good luck wanting to move there; 2/3’s of ethnic Armenians live outside the country.

    Egypt is the most surprising, because it was colonized and bothered by both the British and French, but it doesn’t have that diversity anymore?

    Jordan is a theocratic strong monarchy. Makes sense that non-Jordanese wouldn’t move there.

    Bangladeshi people were packed into the country with the partition of India. It’s super ethnically dissimilar to Burma and India. The partition really amplified that.








  • I lived in Arizona with no car until I was 25 and it was pretty hard to get by even here with 340ish days of sunshine. Everything in the US is incredibly spaced out, and if you’re in any suburban place, there simply aren’t bike racks anywhere. In rural NH where I lived, there was nowhere fun to ride to, and nowhere to lock up even if I wanted to go do errands close enough for me to do on bicycle. The US, in many places, needs a page 1 rewrite of its public infrastructure.
