    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

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

            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.

                  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?

                    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?

            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.

      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.

        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.

          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.
