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

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

The smegma gang gets weird fucking ideas sometimes

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

This implies we were given a choice

[–] [email protected] 75 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 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 9 months ago (1 children)

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

OP's meme was about (circumcised, presumably) people needing lotion to masturbate. So they assume circumcised people need lotion to masturbate because they don't know how to do it right themselves and keep chafing, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Who says needing lotion means it's being done wrong?

How does that have anything to do with buddy outing himself for not washing his penis?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

"Smegma gang" was a dig at "Foreskin gang" in the meme. Which was making fun of circumcised people for "needing" lotion to masturbate.

So if he's outing his dick cheese, then OP is outing themself as chafing in some real sensitive spots.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

But OP is saying they don't need lotion. And the comments are also quite mixed on the subject.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

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

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

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!

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 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 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 9 months ago

Different strokes for different folks

[–] Sludgeyy 20 points 9 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 9 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 9 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.
