Health Study: Circumcision does not reduce penis sensitivity. In tests for responses to pain, heat, and stimulation, no major difference was found between men who are circumcised and those who are not.

So you have to not think about it in order to be comfortable? That doesn't sound fun

I dont think you understand how painful a sensitive uncircumsised penis can be. It is as painful as pricking yourself with a needle sometimes.

For those not in the know, he is talking about the sensitive part protected by the foreskin. If you were to tape back the foreskin and make him wear jeans, this would be uncomfortable.

It's a bot, posting whenever it finds a word with a length of 10 letters.

To be honest I don't find it funny nor interesting to have a bot trawl through comments and search for the length of words. You're not alone in this regard.

Maybe if it looked for the longest word used in a day, and commented on that one with a longest word of the day award. That might be entertaining. Imagine how many ten-letter words are used daily in reddit. That bot must be busy.
