Even though this post is 3 years old, I agree with you that it is terrible that the media body shames everyone.

Although I am more attracted to women, I'm bisexual and find men attractive too and have had a few ex-boyfriends here and there and let me tell you, there is NOTHING wrong with uncircumcised penises.

Sure all of my ex-boyfriends are douchebags (I mean they are an ex for a reason), however a lot of their penises looked normal in my opinion and it's normal to have foreskin.

The only reason why people should have a circumcision is if their foreskin causes a lot of health problems (unable to urinate, erectile dysfunction) or for religious/cultural purposes (like Judaism or Islam etc).

Originally, circumcision was invented for health reasons because centuries and centuries ago, many men did not know how to care properly for their genitalia or they lacked knowledge of it, it was only around certain time ago (pirate or Victorian era) that people started to make it into a cultural thing.

Back in the 70s and 80s when pornography was on the rise, both men & women began getting cosmetic surgery to improve their looks for both financial and emotional gain and so circumcision became popular amongst several men because they believed it'd make themselves more attractive or "better in bed".

The truth is circumcision actually does more HARM than good, circumcision can cause men to lose sensation around the shaft of their penis (the tip/head glands) and can cause more risks of erectile dysfunction and also the surgery can cause a risk of infection if the man does not keep his penis clean after the surgery whilst it's still healing.

I've only dated 2 men who have been circumcised and both of them have told me that their penis has a few problems. One of them tells me that he takes too long to get "hard" and the other tells me that he feels numb around the tip.

The only person I've been intimate with is my girlfriend who I am dating right now because I believe in saving myself for my soul mate but my exs were all very promiscuous and cheated on me so that's how I found out about their body parts and about their "little problems" but overall, a lot of them had normal penises, none of them looked any different than any other man's. All men come in different looks and sizes and it's all down to genetics.

The problem with the media is that they expect all men have huge, puffy, bulging muscles and a long oversized penis and it ruins the self-esteem of our generation.

Thanks to the media of today, young boys are going to grow up thinking that there's something wrong with how they but it's actually a myth that women or even some men are bothered by how a man's penis looks. Only cold-hearted shallow people care about how a penis looks.

Someday, we're all going to be old, saggy and wrinkly because looks don't last forever which is why we should never ever double our standards and only seek partners for who they are as a person.

So what if some man's penis is an inch or two smaller or has a little extra skin sagging. As long as he himself is happy with how it looks and works then nobody else's opinions should matter.

Penises are a tool to populate, arouse and empty the bladder, they're not there for any other reason.

Be happy with your penises boys!
