        This is something I do not wish to google. Is it noticeable? I would assume a small surgical cut that occurs at infancy leaves no significant scar

          Not to be crude but this pretty much is what I’m talking about. It’s almost like having a two toned penis…

          NSFW btw… Although it is just a drawing

            Wow the frenulum gets removed as well sometimes? What an outdated and ridiculous thing to be doing to children for absolutely no good reason. Yeah sure, some studies show it improves hygiene I’ve been told. To me that’s about as proportionate as removing all your healthy teeth so you don’t get cavities in the future…

              The studies where it ‘improves’ hygiene are poorly designed as they don’t control for education and understanding.

              In other words - what’s better: teaching our baby boys the simple act of cleaning under their foreskin in the bath, along with the rest of their body or cutting off a sensitive and important part of their body to make masturbation and sex more difficult?

          Let’s just say there is a definitive line where what once was my foreskin now just is a smooth piece of skin connected by another. I wouldn’t call it a scar because like I said I had no idea it was not normal. There’s definitely a noticeable difference between the top part and the rest of it. I’m not sure how else to put this delicately. Honestly, I would just google it.

        I can understand why people might not notice, most of my research sources are heavily pixelated.

        I mean I’ve seen lots of porn and never noticed anything that looked like a scar, but then again I don’t typically focus on the dick.
