There are memes like “when you have to prove that you’re jewish” or crass jokes about people standing out due to their lack of foreskin, but i remember hearing that a huge swathes of American men are circumcised - it’s like 49%. Jesus.

If literally half of every men are circumcised, why is it even a remarkable topic to Americans? How did it become such a meme?

    It’s definitely easier to manage the sccccccchhhhmegma without the ol smegma catcher being present, but I didn’t get my son circ’d because running in gym shorts when you’re fat, with a little acorn pointing straight forward, can lead to sphincter chaffing … and I’m not very fond of that feeling. I didn’t want to pass it down to him.

    I hope he goes on to become a fast runner without the threat of penile chaffing. Good luck, my son, should you ever read this after I’m doxd

      I shower everyday and never have cheese dick… You just pull it back when you’re cleaning it. It’s one extra hand movement. I don’t see how one is easier or cleaner than the other tbh

        i don’t shower every day and i’ve still never had dick cheese, i’m frankly not sure if it’s actually a medical condition that people just think is normal…

          The only time I’ve ever gotten it was in my depression era when I wouldn’t shower for like 3 or 4 days at a time. It’s definitely not normal with healthy hygiene. Pretty sure at that point, it doesn’t matter if you’re chopped or not
