Jewish Mother - Intact Son

Laurie Evans discusses the impact of witnessing a bris.

Why do/did you have foreskin?

The foreskin occupies a prominent position on an important organ. The foreskins location and structure indicate that it is the most important sensory tissue of the penis. Its persistence over millions of years suggests that it has played a role in the propagation of the species.

A well-integrated organ

Structurally, the penis is highly integrated. The glans, foreskin and skin of the penile shaft function as a single unit, not as a collection of separate parts with entirely different functions. The functions of the glans and foreskin are similar, and overlapping, but come fully into their own at different times during intercourse.

Simple sensations

The outer surface of the foreskin is specialized to detect feather-light touch and other sensations, including painful ones. The infamous zipper injury is an extreme example of the sort of damage the outer skin was designed to detect and prevent, long before the zipper posed a threat to the uninitiated.

Compared with the true (outer) skin of the foreskin, the glans is only feebly sensitive to light touch, pain, heat and cold. This is part of the reason we call the foreskin the primary sensory tissue of the penis. Without the foreskin, the end of the penis is numb to a host of sensations that tell the owner whether one of his most prized organs is in good company, or should move to safety.

Complex sensations

Thanks to its ridged band, the inner lining of the foreskin is specialized sexual tissue. The ridged band readily expands and contracts and is obviously designed to detect stretching forces. When penile shaft skin tugs on the ridged band, special genital corpuscles in the peaks of the ridges detect movement and trigger ejaculation. Stretching of the ridged band may also trigger and sustain erection.

Electrical stimulation of the glans triggers nerve impulses that pass to the spinal cord and then to the muscle of ejaculation. Clearly the glans has much in common with the foreskin. Where foreskin and glans part company, functionally as well as physically, is in their sensitivity to light touch, pain and heat and cold. Contrary to common opinion, the glans is not highly sensitive to a broad range of stimuli.

Foreskin vs. glans

It is unclear whether the ridged band simply plays backup for the glans, or whether the two have different functions. The location of the retracted ridged band on the erect penile shaft suggests that the difference is one of timing. Possibly, the foreskin and its ridged band are designed to ensure that sexual reflexes are triggered when, and only when, these structures are stretched during intercourse. The biological importance of the ridged band to conception is self-evident, but there is still a major gap in our understanding of the relation between form and function of the penis.

Dartos muscle

Penile skin has two important characteristics, apparent only on erection. Firstly penile skin tenses, stiffens and shortens, firming up the connection between shaft skin and ridged band. This change allows for the transmission of movement from the base of the erect penis to the ridged band.

Secondly, penile skin undergoes a marked frictional change, brought about by stiff, forward-pointing skin folds. The mechanism is similar to that which raises goosebumps.

The changes in penile skin are brought about by contraction of the Dartos muscle. Between them, stiffening and frictionality ensure that the ridged band is instantly alerted to changes in position of the penis within the vagina.

Why two layers?

The double-layering of the foreskin allows the delicate ridged band, which normally is safely hidden from view, to be deployed on the upper surface of the penile shaft during erection. There it stands a better chance of being activated. Double-layering also eases vaginal entry by offsetting the frictional resistance of erect shaft skin.

Summary

The various parts of the penis, including the foreskin, form a functional whole. The foreskin is the primary sensory tissue of the penis. The ridged band of the foreskin is built to trigger orgasm and ejaculation.

Why are Jews aloud to cut up a babys penis and suck the blood out, spit it into a glass and pass it around for everyone to drink ?

Because Jews are sand demons, that is what the new testament is about.

[Bonobo3D]

@celariomfoam You some of this information correct. The practice of "metzitzah b'peh" involves the circumciser sucking the bloody wounded penis of the recently circumcised infant. I've never heard of the passing around of the glass for everyone to drink the blood though.

Brit Shalom indeed!

Thank you to Laurie Evans and Bonobo3D for this succinct video which really explains how religion is about what is inside of you as an individual, and not about forcing a permanent amputation of healthy, sensitive, functional genital tissue from infants who get no say in the matter.

I truly feel for her, as she explains how tormenting it was for her to witness a bris, and think it is amazing that she speaks out to fellow Jewish mothers - recommending they do research first.

thanks for the video response. The wisdom of this woman's statement should be seen by many more people. I think if more parents actually saw the process of a neonatal circumcision they would never allow it to be done again.

I support what you do, lady. I'm african-american and intact.  I'm happy to be that way. I think circumcision is dumb and pointless.

[dellp110]

First up I came to this video by subconsiously looking for naked women, but as a man I am compelled to offer solutions, here gos. STOP CIRCUMSING YOUR BLASTED PENIS GOD PUT IT THERE FOR A REASON, WHEN YOU CUT THE FORESKIN YOU DESTOY THE NERVES THAT RUN ALONG THE SIDE AND AROUND SO IT WON'T WORK ANY MORE SO BLOODY STOP IT!!!!!!!!!

ps it's not cleaner and why are you trying to get out of washing your dick anyway.

Pss You do know a foreskin is retractable right, Best of both worlds.

[gdcat777]

My kind of Jewish lady with a capital J. I've met this lady and I'm very proud of her.

[ssp9919]

@celariomfoam jew suck babys dick,nasty and illegal

[banjski]

The sex with circumcised penis is possible and nice but not natural and wonderful anymore.

I can imagine the low feeling without prepuce but circumcised man never can imagine my pleasure

Like the kissing without tongue. If someone cut his tongue in baby days he will never find how is wonderful to kiss using the tongue.

Males go with broken genitals with females with "full equipment for joy" - quite idiotical. We have only one life, it is hard enough - do not make it worse.

[endofscene]

@gingerXLL The world is in such a pitiful condition because we do this kind of shit to each other. So let's stop it.

[endofscene]

"Removing genital tissue from my son doesn't make him a good human being."

[whatUneverknew]

OK Trying to stay on track here...

You're saying that a shot is more traumatizing than an amputation? Csn you support that in some way? because it seems kind of counterintuitive.

Sorry, don't want to get into vaccs here, off topic, too big.

I do not know about studies of mental pain over protective parents.
