My circumcised bros, can you really not fap without lotion?

[–] [email protected] 125 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I don't know why people keep saying you need it to do the deed, I've been at it for 20 years without lotion and it's fine

Adding lube or lotion to the equation just makes clean up worse

[–] CurlyMoustache 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You been at it for 20 years? I think you need some lube, mate

The smegma gang gets weird fucking ideas sometimes

[–] [email protected] 132 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Imagine being so incapable of washing your penis that you need a bunch of it removed.

[–] TrousersMcPants 54 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

This implies we were given a choice

[–] [email protected] 75 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Saying people with foreskins a "smegma gang" is a pretty good indicator that one doesn't wash properly and assumes that others don't either.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So OP doesn't know how to masturbate properly and needs lotion because they chafe?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

I don't think they were talking about circumcised people, rather people who somehow think it's necessary

[–] ReiRose 8 points 10 months ago

The only choice that remains is if you'll do it to your children

[–] Sludgeyy 2 points 10 months ago

Imagine being so incapable of washing your penis that you need a bunch of it removed.

They should have said "Imagine being so incapable of washing your child's penis that you need a bunch of it removed."

A child's penis in a dirty diaper could get quite nasty with foreskin if the parents don't wash and change the diaper regularly.

The cleanliness thing is for the lack of parenting. And the parents make that choice.

This just in folks, washing your penis is a weird idea!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

admitting that you are incapable of basic hygiene isn't the gotcha you think it is

If you aren’t Jewish that’s probably the justification your parents were given for why they should circumcise you. Not sure how that would be a weird idea.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Problem - Too lazy to wash yourself.
Solution - amputation.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm jealous of you... I get nothing without lube. Need head stimulation and it's NOT good dry. But yeah, cleanup sucks

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Different strokes for different folks

[–] Sludgeyy 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not everyone is cut the same

Some get more, and some get less cut off.

Sounds like you were fortunate and got less cut off.

Circumcision is common in US, mentioning lotion with masterbating is common.

Like you said, no one would use lotion unless they had to.

[–] Serinus 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is getting to some Q levels of cope and rationalization.

Neither is as big of a deal as weird Internet people want to make it out to be.

Personally, I'm glad I had it done as an infant rather than risk needing it done at 13 years old.

[–] Sludgeyy 21 points 10 months ago

Genital mutilation is a big deal

People get angry at piercing infant ears, but somehow cutting off foreskin is normal.

What if we were ripping off infant fingernails?

Studies have shown that a lot of bacteria collect under them, and if we removed the fingernails, kids would get sick less.

Why don't you get your appendix removed as an infant?

You wouldn't want to risk it rupturing as an adult

Foreskin is natural. The likelihood of you needing it removed is slim to none.

Just look at all the other countries that don't circumcise. Are all the adults getting circumcised later in life? No.

The problem is you don't know how good it is to have foreskin. It's like you growing up with no fingernails. You wouldn't know how good fingernails were.

I have never used it

[–] Toneswirly 23 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I used to be able to, but a lifetime of manual labor has laden my hands with callouses that make it HIGHLY unpleasant without some lube

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

Bro got the built in texture

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

They are ribbed for your pleasure

[–] Dead_or_Alive 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you need to man up and build calluses on your dick.

[–] Zehzin 2 points 10 months ago

That's what the circumcision did, and why it's not as sensitive

[–] doingless 20 points 10 months ago

I've never used lube.

[–] cm0002 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah I can do it just fine without, I've only ever used lotion like a few times in my life just to try because it seems like a common thing when you see a reference to "Lotion and Kleenex". I felt like it brought nothing to the experience but an extra mess to clean up

[–] Serinus 1 points 10 months ago

It's an easy movie trope.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We can. At least most of us. Though I suspect there's significantly less play in the skin, so it may be more difficult for some.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Everyone in this entire thread is saying they're fine. There's just this weird, incel group that storms around the internet from time to time spreading bullshit about circumcision. It's exhausting. Get a life, you douchebags.

[–] Psychodelic 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe look again? That's literally not true. I think you're maybe projecting a bit there as well. lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I mean, you're welcome to do a minute of research to find countless studies like this one as well.

This statement is false.

you're welcome to do a minute of research to find countless

...comments above your own as well

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I can. It is definitely not nearly as much fun though. More of a "just get the job done so I can go back to what I was doing".

[–] RubberElectrons 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Works fine for me. I gotta stop after round 6 though.

[–] RIP_Cheems 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)
[–] irreticent 1 points 10 months ago

At least an hour apart.

[–] RubberElectrons 1 points 10 months ago

Naps, or just passion for what I'm looking at. Women in tight rubber clothing makes me crazy.

[–] LemmyIsFantastic 7 points 10 months ago

No idea what they are on about. Works just fine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No. I still have enough skin to slide.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Get your Ehlers danlos dick out of here

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

It depends on how far the doctors went when they removed a part of you without permission or consent. There are levels of skin tightness that some people are on the unfortunate end of, if the doctor took an excessive amount. And in general, there are a huge number of nerves in the foreskin which are significantly more sensitive, so cut members will need more stimulation than they would have, and that can lead to chaffing when attempting to receive the same results as they could have with foreskin.
