comment number 3 Doctor Doctor Docotor Doctor..

Tisk Tisk Tisk

For as much as your coments in "Penis 101"  in regards to the circumcised and intact ("uncircumcised") penis where well intentioned, it is EVIDENT that this is an "area" that diserves a bit more (Deep ;) field research for you good Doctor.

Please allow me to elaborate a bit in order that your 1 0 0 might realize itself as a true 1 0 1.

I understand that the actual intended purpose of the video was to illustrate the sensiivity of various areas. However, one of the areas addressed and explained is obviously not well understood by our good Doctor.

So, in regards to illustrated sensitive areas, there was mention and discripion of the foreskin (one of the many more than 3 parts of the penis). This part was made mention of without any illustration of what is sensitive about it nor any further explaination in regards to its sexual functions.

I attempt to do the audience the favor of illustrating this matter in laymans terms.

SKIN

Both the circumcised and ("uncircumcised") intact penis have two distinct "types" of skin.

The first "type" begins at the base of the penis and travels twards the glands. This "type" of skin would NOT be the type to make it on to the sensitive parts illustrated by Doctor Yvonne.

The second "type" is the skin that begins below (behind) the glands.

This skin "type" is thin, delicate and sensiive and would be what Doctor Yvonne would have been refering to (if she actualy knew what she was refering to) when she refered to the sensitivity of the foreskin.

On the circumcised member this skin travels backward tward the base of the penis and ends (prematurely) at the circumcision scar.

On the circumcised member both this thin sensitive layer of skin and the glands themselves have become dry, keratinized, less sensitive and lost color.

Dry?

Color?

YES!

One of the (MANY) functions of the foreskin is to provide the glands with proection from abrasion and dryness.

The foreskin is comprised of two layers, the thin, delicate, sensitive layer of skin is actualy the "under skin" of the foreskin.

This layer of skin is, at the very least, as moist and pink (and every bit as clean) (and as sensitive) as your inner labias.

This thin sensitive skin folds forward covering the glands. The skin than folds back over itself at the tip of the glands and transitions quickly in consistancy into the thicker, dry, less sensitive outer skin.

ahhhh ha

BUT

Theres still more you have not yet considered that you may not know and cannot possably realize not knowing full well first hand.

The inner and outer layers of the foreskin roll over one another in both sex and foreplay. This allows the skin of the penis to be drawn both backward (twards the base) (exposing the glands) (which is REALY HOT) AND forward over the glands. NO tugging, NO lube!

This means a girl can take hold of her partners inact member at any juncture of passion, grab on to him tight and begin LONG stroking his entire length. (as just ONE of MANY MANY examples) (including the lack of necessity of lubricants DURRING Sexual intercourse of ANY DURATION)

As the Circumcised penis is missing a substancial portion of both inside and outside skin (more than 6 cubic inches) (not to mention that in many if not the majority of cases the frenulum is also removed in the process of circumcison) the skin of the circumcised penis is therefore.... "tight", this leaves you with the option to rub and tug, spit or.... lubricate.

Lubrication is not just for old people, is for most anyone who is circumcised!

Thanks Dr. Yvonne ;)

comment number 4 Gee, my husband is circumcised and he seems pretty happy... and ridiculously horny!

And frankly, if a gut is already circumcised your little diatribe isn't helping him any.  Why don't you go post it on a board for pregnant couples deciding whether or not to circumcise their sons?  Because by the time a woman (or man) reaches this site the circumcision is already done.

I guess my point is you're not actually helping anyone.

comment number 5 Hi Rachel,

Don’t you think more information is always helpful?  We do.  Yes, it would be worthwhile for True 101 to post on a pregnancy site, but I am sure a lot of the women who come here will ultimately get pregnant and the more information they are armed with from the get go, the better.  Besides, if possible, we would like to stay positive here.  Us women have a hard enough time navigating negative stereotypes about sex and our sexuality in the mainstream media, the more we can support each other the better.  And yes, True 101 is a dude, and was definitely snarkier than necessary, but the information is valid and I would hate to make feel self-conscious for benefitting from it.

Thanks for joining the dialog though!  It’s always great to see our viewers participate.

comment number 6 A dude..... hmmmmmm

I will take that as a compliment.

Before I "diatribe" further I would like to commend Chcikalee for the note of validation.

Thanks Chickalee ;)

To respond to Rachel

Thank you for sharing that your husband is circumcised, "pretty happy" and "ridiculously horny" (although none of these matters are related).

In regards to my "diatribe" "helping anyone" I guess I would like to clarify who if anyone I am trying to "help".

I would suspect that the young female readers and viewers of material of this nature (cherry TV) will in fact one day procreate.

If my diatribe motivates the audience to investigate the circumcision matter further they may encounter material from sites such as noharm or nocirc or the both fascinating and graphic illustrations from "sex as nature intended it"

All the better for these audience members!

The pursuit of a phenomenal sex life is what motivates us to gain knowledge of this nature.

I post my diatribes where I see fit.  

I could have posted this particular diatribe beneath a number of videos on Cherry TV because in many ways this site is full of misconceptions of this same nature.

If I am not mistaken, Jamye Waxman, in one of the "blow job" videos, states that it is easier to find the frenulum on a circumcised man......... When in all actuality there is a 90-95% percent chance the frenulum is GONE entirely! Circumcision removes the frenulum. This is a (well known) fact.

The human body has all types of frenula. In laymans terms a frenula is a strand of tissue that holds something (like the foreskin) in place, look it up! (Waxman)

Doctors who are in the business of naming parts and pieces have not, to the best of my knowledge, come up with a name for this still sensitive spot on the circumcised penis but it may as well be called the FRENIAL VOID. Because there is no frenulum there!

Feel free to utilize this new “verbage” to the next edition of "kosher sex".

Ok, that was "sharkey" of me. But in most cultures, including more almost 30% of our culture, spitting on a penis could be.... offensive.

The intention my diatribe was to expand knowledge base the cherry TV female audience. Through bettering the knowledge of the audience it is my feeling that the audience will feel better about themselves through feeling confident in their knowledge.

It is my opinion that the female form in full knowledge and confidence of itself is the most powerful incarnation of itself. (both sexually and otherwise)

Nuff said.

Allow me to instance a matter that wears upon this confidence that is directly related to circumcision.

For instance, a young sexually healthy female searches the internet looking for answers concerning why she gets dry during intercourse and finds the answer "lubricate, its normal" (or worse natural).

It is of course more normal (as in common) than it is natural but is that answer enough?

By enough I mean does this answer cause you to regain your full confidence? Or will it remain frustrating that when you are boiling with passion and into the act that things deteriorate when you begin experiencing the discomfort of dryness?

Is the knowledge that this "normal" consolation or does this condition have a psychological impact on this female (and her relationship)?

Normal is NOT a substitute for natural and what feels unnatural sets off negative response mechanisms in the mind.  

(If you stand clueless in regards to the matters that I am referring to please do consult (or google) "sex as nature intended it")

How many times have you heard a guy state that "she gets dry" or had a friend state to you that she "gets dry"?

In this case in particular, circumcision is a problem that passes the buck.

I am certain conditions of this nature are a none issue for the “pretty happy” "ridiculously horny" circumcised men out there and I am also certain there are plenty of females who would attest that this is “not really” an issue to them either.

Are you sure?

I find it OFFENSIVE and UNJUST that in an instance such as "dryness" that the “blame” is bridled upon the female as being somehow........... insufficient.

To me I find this is disturbing. I find the “normality” of matters such as this to be VERY VERY VERY disturbing!

comment number 7 My husband's penis is VERY sensitive on the underside of the head (he's circumcised).  That's the spot that sends him "in orbit"! Comment by: Josey

comment number 8 I'm a "dude" and my penis is circumsized and looks great.  No girl has ever said it looked funny.  My penis is very sensitive at times and the little V shaped underside called the frenulum, irregardless of what true penis 101 has to say about it, feels so sensitive, I can get an orgasm by just having my partner tickle it with her finger or her tongue.

comment number 11 Wow -- I don't really have any ideas.  Does he make you feel good, or are you looking for a greater sense of fullness?  Do you think he would be offended if you talked to him about it and decided together to get a dildo that he can sometimes us on you?

comment number 12 These comments about circumcision are ridiculous and show how little people actually know.  The foreskin serves the same purpose and the inner and outer labia does on women.  It protects.  I knew to guys who went on a skiing trip and got lost for two days in a blizzered, they were finally found and both had frost bite on their fingers and twos and one had frost bite so sever on his penis that they had to amputate it, the other guy didn't.  They both lost parts of their fingers and toes but the uncut guy suffered no frostbite on his penis.  The hygiene argument is B.S....cause frankly the same argument could, and has in many developing countries, been used as reasoning to remove the labia or clit of women.  I do want to point out that True 101 is correct in most of what he said.  However I would say that my foreskin is more sensitive than most parts of the head of my penis, atleast the inner skin is, and is second only to the ridge.  And Go2, the Frenulum is not V-shaped, from what you described yours has been removed.  The frenulum is a section of skin that connects in a linear fashion to the curved(or slightly v-shaped) underbelly of the penis head.  It also usually has a bundle of nerves that can be kinda round and slightly resemble the clit.  During puberty when stretching of the foreskin happens(during masterbation for the first times) the foreskin becomes slightly more elastice and the frenulum begins looking longer and straiter, this is when Dr. fulbrite should have talked about how one can actually break or rupture their frenulum if they or their partner is too rough.  IVe been there and it hurts worse than you can imagine, worse than being kicked in the balls, and it bleeds and takes several sexless weeks to heal.  But it does heal and the frenulum can become more sensitive afterwards.  Some guys overseas consider breaking the frenulum while losing their virginity to be the same as what happens to women.  It can happen but unless the foreskin is really tight due to not masturbating or pulling it back during bathing, its not likely unless you were being really rough or have someone who doesn't know what they are doing. So, if hes uncut be careful how hard you yank it.  Hope that enlightens you some. Comment by: Babio

comment number 15 What about the girth of a penis? I have been hearing a reading more and more about women having preference for a penis with girth. Thin erections seem to be despised by many and are the least desireable because they don't provide the stimulation and full feeling women seem to crave.

So what is a guy with a thinner than average penis to do???

comment number 16 Dear Scott,

Thanks so much for writing in!  Let me give a little scoop on the buzz about penis length/girth.  As you might know, most of the nerve endings are located in the outer 1/3 of the vagina (closest to the opening.)  That's why people say that the length of the penis doesn't actually make much of a difference.  Though I have heard some women say they prefer girth to length, this doesn't mean you should fret!  I don't know much about your situation, but I would definitely advise you to consider whether your troubles might be more imagined than real.   After all, men (like women) are constantly bombarded with images of ideal body types.  In reality, though, everyone has different sexual preferences.    

If a partner has told you your girth is an issue, keep this in mind:  only about 4 in 10 women can orgasm from vaginal intercourse alone.  If your partner can't achieve orgasm strictly from intercourse, this may have more to do with a lack of clitoral stimulation than your girth  Try putting more focus on foreplay.  If you take your time getting 'warmed up,' she may have an easier time achieving orgasm, regardless of your size.

If you've searched around, you may have seen the websites that promote penis exercises to increase girth.  I have personally never seen any substantial research that backs this up.  My personal advice?  Work what you've got!  Very few women know the specific girth of their partners, but I guarantee they notice their confidence.

Hope this helps, Scott...  Feel free to write in more questions!

comment number 17 but i have heard that even women who dont orgasm through intercourse only still want to be filled. i saw 2 studies saying 95%+ of women absolutly required a penis of good girth. i dont know what to believe. should I avoid sex? what is the minimum girth anyway? Is 4 inches around enough?

the idea of having sex with a girl who cant even feel me makes me feel ill, even if she was polite about it

comment number 18 Scott, please do not avoid sex!!!  That would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face!  

For many, many women, the most important part of sex is the intimacy factor ... being close, in the most intense way possible, with someone they care about.  

As for girth, there is no minimum.  Everyone woman is different.  If you're feeling self-conscious, talk to your partner and let her know there are many ways you can make sure she feels filled up (ex. playing around with dildos).  She'll still want to have intercourse most likely because the touching, weight, kissing, and everything involved is so nice and a total turn on, and because it makes you climax!  

So please, don't worry about it. You are who you are and for women who care about you, it will be more than enough!

comment number 19 Thanks again for your reply. I am trying so hard to take on board your kind words- I really am but, when I saw those videos, and the expressions on those faces of those girls when discussing small penises, well, you know its hard to beleive. I can almost imagine you girls giggling in the office before typing your replies (I'm sure you dont- but you know what I mean). I hope I can find someone who wont be too repulsed, sometime in the future. S Comment by: scott

comment number 21 Have you girls ever had any that were too big? or the other way? I agreed to take the plunge with my boyfriend on my 17th birthday and hes 6foot 4inches so I am kinda worried. Comment by: Terri
09/10/2009 13:10:25
comment number 22 Yes, it can be too big and uncomfortable.  There are a lot of positions though that you can use so that it doesn't hit against your cervix.  Check out:

Also, if it's the first time, be sure to go SLOW and use lubricant (if you are not super-wet).  Lubricant can certainly help easy insertion.
