About 50 percent of newborns are circumcised in the United States. We newborns had no say in deciding whether or not we wanted to keep our prepuce, but now most of us are left without it. It wasn't until we reached adulthood that we came to realize that the piece of robbed skin could be beneficial in our sexual development and enjoyment.

If you are cut you might notice that the head -- or glans -- of the penis is always exposed to the elements. The same is not true for an uncut penis; uncircumcised penises have a little flap of skin always concealing their heads. Basically your cock in its flaccid state looks like an anteater. Cute, huh? Not really, according to our conventional views. Most people in the U.S. view uncut penises as different, and having one is considered to be unsanitary and cosmetically unappealing.

My best friend Susan dated an uncut guy and some time after they broke up she told me the horrors of wanting to go down on the guy and finding toilet paper -- among other things -- stuck to her man's penis. That surely is not something you would want to put into your mouth. If you are uncut you have to observe certain hygiene routines. Shave, brush your teeth and clean your foreskin.

Many uncut guys speak about the wonders of their intact manhood. They claim that they have a bigger unit and feel much more pleasure. I can't tell you if this is true or not - I have no extra skin to call my own- but after some research I found that the foreskin only adds fractions of an inch to your cock. As for the extra pleasure, the foreskin provides a type of "linear bearing," the gliding motion of the flap of skin provides perfunctory lubrication to facilitate sexual activity, reducing abrasion for both you and your partner, nothing that a little lube can't do.

If having an extra millimeter of penis and a little extra lubrication sounds appealing to you, there is definitely something that you can do. Foreskin restoration treatments are becoming more popular than boob jobs. Jim Bigelow even wrote "The Joy of Uncircumcising" which describes how to go about stretching out your existing skin to create a faux-foreskin. The procedure involves, pulling the foreskin over the glans, and applying straps of tape to hold it there. The mild pressure of the penis will gradually stretch out the existing skin and voila! You have a new foreskin. Sounds pretty simple, but in reality it takes extreme discipline and dedication to work your way to a "better" penis. Sure it may take from one to three years to see the results, but it's worth it. Or is it? Up to you my friend, but I would rather keep my one eyed snake and use some lube to "spice" things up. You, on the other hand, could go back to your natural anteater state.
