Circumcision

nunne · #1 01-29-2004, 08:09 AM

I am wondering about the aesthetics of the circumcised and uncircumcised penis, and how nudists feel about it. I have seen a lot of discussion about the health issues and tactile sensations, but don't know which is preferred from the aesthetics point of view.

Which do you prefer to see? Do women have any particular preference? Or does it not matter in the least. Do men prefer to see an uncircumcised penis or a circumcised one? Or does it matter? And am I just hung up on something that is totally silly and unimportant?

I am circumcised, and actually prefer to see males who are uncircumcised. I'm not gay, but just like seeing an attractive female (which is every nude woman I have ever seen) and I also enjoy seeing a good looking man in the nude.

Sorry to seem rude but - WHO CARES!? The whole point of true naturism is that you are accepted for who and what you are, whether you have 3 legs, 2 heads or are 30 stone.

But Cranial, most nudists talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

Body acceptance is such a great concept. Now we need to actually live by those words.

As for esthetics, why would something full of scars be more pleasant to look at than something in it's natural state?

(yup, here we go again)

Perhaps I miss the whole point about being a naturist or nudist, but I don't think "the whole point" is to accept others as they are. That is, of course, what happens, but I certainly enjoy social nudism also because other people are naked, and I am not blind to their nudity. I do have preferences, and as I said, I haven't seen a naked female that I didn't think was beautiful. On the other hand, is it wrong to say that it is more pleasurable to see a woman with firm breasts and a nice shape, or to see a muscular man as opposed to one who has a pot belly and no shape whatsoever?

We may just be putting our heads in the sand to say that it makes no difference in our enjoyment of nudity about the aesthetics of those around us. So let's find out about this by an open discussion about these pleasures while re-affirming that in the acceptance of nudists, that pleasure does not stand in the way of total body acceptance for all.

Individual people may have their own opinion. But there is no "Nudist" opinion. Is there a "Nudist" opinion about the aesthetics of ear shape? Nose size? Hair color?

If anything, because many nudists embrace body acceptance, which includes as a major principle being non-judgemental about physical appearance, they may be more likely to not give a damn.

If no-one posts, we all stop coming to this forum.
Controversial topics often seem to get the biggest response.
Body image and awareness does, for some reason, seem to be controversial with some nudists.
Those who don't feel the topic is appropriate are often the first to comment, which is great, because their comments often add new dimensions to the original post.
Re the original thread. I am not circumcised, and I'm glad about that. I am neutral about those who are, and I would imagine that to be the case with most people, nudist or textile.
Re body awareness, I owe a lot to my mother's attitudes.
When I was 9 or 10, and going through a "shy about body" stage, she told me how I would have various problems as I grew older, if I did not become comfortable with my body.
When I was 16, she advised me to learn to dance, and then I would meet lots of nice girls. It worked then, it still works at 69. She also knew it would encourage me to be outgoing, and develop courtesy, posture and dress-sense.
She told me, "stand up straight and be proud of yourself".
I want to look healthy and capable, and I respect that look in others, although I certainly don't have any "superior" thoughts about those who don't, and often can't, fit any particular image.
A good looking person without a heart, is just an empty shell, but I believe that good health, fitness and a confident manner, are worth striving for.

as i have said before, circumcision is evil and unneccessary. why our society keeps doing it is silly. i prefer to see an uncirc'd penis, but i generally do not look to see if some is or is not cut. but it does not make sence to me why a purple penis head is attractive when it should have been clearly left intact (and i am cut!).
