well, it turns out (in a rather unscientific study which raises some ethical questions -- they actually let these people go out there and contract aids?) that you are only half as likely to get aids if you have been circumcised and indulge in vaginal sex. the question of the hour though is, "which half"?

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/14/health/14hiv.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin

see, mohammedans and jews were right all along to insist on circumcision. so let's all go out and convert and get circumcised.

well, there *are* other ways of not getting aids (for healthy, non-needle-sharing people):
1) using condoms
2) sticking to monogamous relationships
3) abstinence

i guess these are not so popular with the masses.

i wonder why people are not highlighting the other benefit of circumcision: it deadens the sensitivity of the penis, so it is much easier for a circumcised man to violently rape an unlubricated, unwilling, resisting woman. yeah, a bonus for the circumcised.

and what's this about "dry sex" with the lubrication deliberately suppressed? sounds brutal, like having sex with sand-paper. and people actually like this? must only appeal to the circumcised.

and according to this doctor, 'women like circumcised penises'? oh really? that's a strange assertion. it's like saying 'women like bald men'. some do, some don't.

actually, if a foreskin were such a handicap, natural selection would have gotten rid of it long ago. or all those with foreskins would have been evolved out of existence, which is plainly not the case: all boys are born up with one. so it may serve some obscure but useful function. (no, i am not going to go back to the thirteen alleged foreskins of the non-existent you-know-who being worshipped all over by the gullible faithful :-)

oh, there was another interesting item about the alleged small penises of indian men. again a rather unscientific study (what exactly are 'international size standards' for condoms? that's bullshit right there, sort of like the 'bowel-movement historian'). but there must be a lot of people who believe this, which would explain why all those 'secular' 'progressive' indian women of the jholawali persuasion pant after foreigners. 

i dont believe this 'indians-are-little' story by the way. anecdotal evidence (from US locker rooms) and conversations with umm... well-traveled women suggest that:

a) blacks are indeed large
b) whites are average
c) indians are in the same ballpark as whites
d) east asians are small

and, oh, these ahem... well-traveled women suggest that size *does* matter, by the way :-)

Well written. WTF is “International size” anyways. May be this is written by some who thinks with his dick.

As for the assertion “size does matter” by your well traveled friend, it may be so for her. But according to a medical journal, I am sorry I forgot the journals’ and the doctors’ name, most women have sensual muscles in their vagina only five to six inches deep. After that nothing, they won’t feel a damn thing. The journal concludes that a five to six inch penis can satisfy the sexual urges of most women in the world.

not *one* well-traveled woman, but several (although it is a small sample).

it's not just length, but *breadth* that is also a significant factor. also, as some say, "it's not what you do it with, it's what do with it".

yes, siva, i have read similar information about depth.

A small clarification. When I said well written I meant Rajeev’s analysis.

Rajeev,

It is not just a small group of sample but general trend, at least in the west, itself is that bigger the better when in reality it does not give them any added satisfaction (not my opinion but of medical doctors').

I guess it is only a state of mind. Just like lot of men (at least Indian men) say that they can drink more and be sober at the same time, which I never understood because it defeats the very purpose of drinking itself. Isn’t it better if one can get high with little drink? That way one can save money and minimize the damage to health. It is the same kind of mind set that makes women to prefer bigger sizes (both length and breath) when in reality it is not necessary and does not make any difference.

Just like increasing the tolerance level of alcohol one ends up with having to put extra effort and drink more to get high, which also damages their health, preferring bigger sizes constantly will only lead to same kind of problems, if you know what I mean.
