Misunderstood Smegma

topic posted Tue, January 29, 2008 - 12:00 AM by  Danny
Smegma is clean, not dirty, and is beneficial and necessary. It moisturizes the glands and keeps it smooth, soft, and supple. Its antibacterial and antiviral properties keep the penis clean and healthy It lubricates the cavity between the foreskin of the penis and the glands, thus allows smooth movement between them during intercourse ... Nature has ... provided a natural ointment, smegma, to ensure easy lubrication and protect this delicate region of the male genital organ. / To secure its even distribution, smegma is formed from the whole inner surface of the foreskin cavity ... Smegma production ... is concentrated in the cells of innumerable small prominences, minute microscopic protrusions of various shapes and sizes found on the inner surface of the foreskin cavity ... Sexual intercourse becomes a regular feature of life [in adulthood] and the function of smegma assumes its full value ... Freshly formed smegma ... is a wholesome lubricant--making for ease in erection and smoothness in sexual intercourse

My ( also uncut ) boyfriend dos not belive this text. It was hard to get him to review it before I up-loaded it to my Male Genital Mutilation
www.iidesign.info/MGM.htm

But he finally did. I'm thinking there is more Truth here that what the pro-Circumcisist say

Do you think it is true ?

    Yes I agree.

    I have heard it also attacks invading diseases which I believe explains why one study showed NO (ie zero) men getting Chlamydia compared to circumcised men contracting that STD.

    But, like earwax or nasal mucus which both have purpose, it can become gross to modern society views, if not cleaned away regularly - after it has defeated incoming bacteria.

      sounds right to me. there's plenty of stuff the body makes to keep us clean...which, like a sponge, as to be cleaned itself sooner or later.

      that old canard about how we are the evolution-selected best at surviving and so most of the things our body makes or does are adaptations that gave us MORE advantage, makes a lot of sense to me.

      I'm female so cn;t comment directly based on experience from the inside, as it were. but jeez...we have such serious fear of fluids and semi-0fluids in this society that it;s amazing we let people appear in public with their noses and mouths uncovered!

    I was accually just reading articles on this very subject of the importance of smegma. our bodies are quite amazing when we open up to learn more about them , though ive been cut , im always envious of the naturalness of the foreskin and would love to have mine back to explore and feel its many pleasures and purposes..much like a womans natural lubricant, our intact foreskin serves much the same.... Fascinating to me....
