My relatives and friends always told about me this. Is it just a myth or a fact?

sounds like a myth.. anyone can be mature; it isn't defined by whether you have extra skin of your slong or not

so ur saying ur not mature

Definitely a lie! If this was even remotely true, it should be a universal law that all men be circumcised.

Circumcision in Filipino culture is sort of like a rite of passage that marks a person's period of preparation before he reaches adulthood.

Uncircumcised boys back home are not persecuted or anything like that, it's not that bad, but they often become the butt of all jokes.

One more thing, circumcised penises are much more hygenic than uncircumcised ones.

^That's only if the guy doesn't take care/clean his penis properly. thank you.

If you're non-circumsized and shower everyday you probably wont have a worse hygiene than circumsized Mohammed in the backstreets of Baghdad, or Ramelan Guntur from Jakarta.

Circumsizion is so not needed anymore in most parts of the world, other than for religious reasons of course...

Do you find the anteater look appealing?


Muslims are not obligated to get circumcised. Jews are the ones, it's like baptism to them.

Except not all men know how to clean or take the time to clean their penis properly, even by people who take a bath everyday. A circumcised penis takes, uhh.. 'less skill and effort' to clean. With that in mind, I'm willing to bet that the chances are higher that a circumcised penis is cleaned properly more often than an uncircumcised one. Even in developed countries.

^ supot ka no..heheheeheh

If you have a hygiene problem, that's on you kurt...lol

Oh men, you dont wana be uncircumised in Philippines, youll be a subject to insults and humiliations. hehehe S U P O T !!!!!!

So the girls will laugh at it when she pulls down your pants?

Yup!


I can show you how a circumcised penis looks like. Oh come on baby, I know you want it, I can see it in your eyes.

I've seen circumcised and uncircumcised and it does not bother me at all.

Sorry to disappoint, but it is as clean as can be.

Hey! Hindi ako supot!

Bakit?? Supot ikkaw??? lol

Supot ka?

perhaps, and what if i am?

No man. Nagpatuli ako noong ako ay 12. Umiyak pa ako

I didn't feel "mature" afterwards though, I felt the same way before I got circumcised

so that means im mature when i was circumcised as an infant?



defintely not tru bro!

oh im so grateful i was circumcised. it wouldve look'd like a monster! uuhhh

Some private time with a hot ladyfriend is useually a good judge how mature you really are lol.

I don't understand why my classmates from Philippines say it feels good to get circumcised in the summer. It hurts like hell

*Warning: Includes pics of circumcised and uncircumcised penises. Viewer discretion is advised.*

Some details about circumcision: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumcision

Sabi nila karamihan daw sa mga Ilonggo ay SUPOT/PISOT...hahaha,jokejokejoke!!!!!

Oh yes!

Recent Medical Studies on Circumcision

Circumcision Policy Influenced by Psychosocial Factors

The debate about the advisability of circumcision in English-speaking countries typically has focused on potential health factors. The position statements of committees from national medical organisations are expected to be evidence-based; however, the contentiousness of the ongoing debate suggests that other factors are involved. Various potential factors related to psychology, sociology, religion, and culture may also underlie policy decisions. These factors could affect the values and attitudes of medical committee members, the process of evaluating the medical literature, and the medical literature itself. Although medical professionals highly value rationality, it can be difficult to conduct a rational and objective evaluation of an emotional and controversial topic such as circumcision. A negotiated compromise between polarized committee factions could introduce additional psychosocial factors. These possibilities are speculative, not conclusive. It is recommended that an open discussion of psychosocial factors take place and that the potential biases of committee members be recognized.

Circumcision is Not Good Health Policy

A cost-utility analysis, based on published data from multiple observational studies, comparing boys circumcised at birth and those not circumcised was undertaken using the Quality of Well-being Scale, a Markov analysis, the standard reference case, and a societal perspective. Neonatal circumcision increased incremental costs by $828.42 per patient and resulted in an incremental 15.30 well-years lost per 1000 males. If neonatal circumcision was cost-free, pain-free, and had no immediate complications, it was still more costly than not circumcising. Using sensitivity analysis, it was impossible to arrange a scenario that made neonatal circumcision cost-effective. Neonatal circumcision is not good health policy, and support for it as a medical procedure cannot be justified financially or medically.

Circumcision Results in Significant Loss of Erogenous Tissue

A report published in the British Journal of Urology assessed the type and amount of tissue missing from the adult circumcised penis by examining adult foreskins obtained at autopsy. Investigators found that circumcision removes about one-half of the erogenous tissue on the penile shaft. The foreskin, according to the study, protects the head of the penis and is comprised of unique zones with several kinds of specialized nerves that are important to optimum sexual sensitivity.

Circumcision Affects Sexual Behavior

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that circumcision provided no significant prophylactic benefit and that circumcised men were more likely to engage in various sexual practices. Specifically, circumcised men were significantly more likely to masturbate and to participate in heterosexual oral sex than uncircumcised men.

Researchers Demonstrate Traumatic Effects of Circumcision

A team of Canadian researchers produced new evidence that circumcision has long-lasting traumatic effects. An article published in the international medical journal The Lancet reported the effect of infant circumcision on pain response during subsequent routine vaccination. The researchers tested 87 infants at 4 months or 6 months of age. The boys who had been circumcised were more sensitive to pain than the uncircumcised boys. Differences between groups were significant regarding facial action, crying time, and assessments of pain.

The authors believe that "neonatal circumcision may induce long-lasting changes in infant pain behavior because of alterations in the infant’s central neural processing of painful stimuli." They also write that "the long-term consequences of surgery done without anaesthesia are likely to include post-traumatic stress as well as pain. It is therefore possible that the greater vaccination response in the infants circumcised without anaesthesia may represent an infant analogue of a post-traumatic stress disorder triggered by a traumatic and painful event and re-experienced under similar circumstances of pain during vaccination."

98% of Filipinos are circumcised which is probably why Philippines have very few people with AIDS. Only about 10 000

True, and taking into consideration the size of the Philippine population. Which is approximately 90 million people.

Countries in SE Asia/People living with AIDS 2003 est.

Philippines 9,000 out of 90 million people

Cambodia 170,000 out of 14 million people

Thailand 570,000 out of 65 million people

Vietnam 220,000 out of 85 million people

Burma 330,000 out of 48 million people

Indonesia 110,000 out of 250 million people

Malaysia 52,000 out of 25 million people

Singapore 4,100 out of 5 million people

Laos 1,700 out of 6 million people

Brunei 200 out of 400,000 people

what the hell man

maturity has to do with your development of your brain

^ I think he was referring to physical maturity e.g. broadening of the shoulders and deepening of the voice, and becoming taller that sort of stuff.

do they still sing that song to make fun of someone uncircumcised.


getting circumcised was a right of passage in the old days, thats probably why they same you become mature when you get circumcised cuz they ussually give circumcision around the time when you hit puberty.

That's cool

Filipinos should continue encouraging people to get circumcised and discriminate the supot ones

im confident to do anyone i want now! jkez

im soooo happy of my thing!!!! thnk gosh im circumcised.

Circumcision for the Pinoys is...

an act of bravery ( to be a true man )...

to grow taller....

to be mature...( in speaking of physical maturity I think everyone will come on that stage eventhough you're circumcised or not )

to avoid humiliation ( therefore increse in self-confidence )....

to be clean ( based on medical reports )...

LOL being circumcised has nothing to do with the low AIDs count

it depends.
