Man Shames ‘Sex And The City’ For Ruining His Penis

A Reddit user is taking to the internet to share his decades-long grudge with a Sex and the City episode that he says “ruined” his penis. In a post made to the show’s subreddit, u/Bobo7ate writes about how watching a circumcision-centric episode of SATC at age 21 led to him feeling insecure about his own dick and how it essentially pressured him into getting an adult circumcision.

“The episode – titled Old Dogs, New Dicks was all about Charlotte dating a man who wasn’t circumcised – the norm in the USA – and her disgust by it,” writes the Australian-born Redditor. “To sit and watch a show tell me that my body was revolting is something I will never forget. The women casually sat around the table body shaming men and their penises.”

He goes on to write about the characters comparing foreskin to shar-peis and recalling a line where Miranda declares that uncut dicks are “not normal.” The user then says that the episode made him feel like he “was screaming on the inside” and that he “had an ugly penis.”

“Eventually, Charlotte pressures her boyfriend into getting the end of his penis cut off,” continues u/Bobo7ate. “After finding sex with him repulsive, she now gives him a ‘five out of five’ score. Realising his cut penis has made him instantly more attractive to women, he leaves Charlotte. He was now a huge stud because he doesn’t have a foreskin.”

The Redditor writes about how his urologist approved the procedure, even though he now says he probably should have recommended him therapy instead, and how painful the aftermath of the operation was. He then gets into what it was like learning the difference between the two versions of his penis and his ultimate regret over the procedure.

“The first time I wondered if I had done the right thing was when I tried to masturbate again,” writes the man. “Masturbating with a foreskin is fluid, your hand stays on the same part of your shaft as the skin moves over the glans. Cut men either rub their hands up and down the entire penis (which is horrible without lube), or shuffle only shaft skin back and forth, never really stimulating the glans unless they were lucky enough too keep enough foreskin.

“Eventually the head of my penis became much drier and much less sensitive; the purple sheen it was had is now rougher and paler. I honestly can’t describe how less sensitive, but thinking about how it now, I have tears in my eyes. I produce far less pre-ejaculate – almost none. There is a big scar around the middle of my penis – something the ‘it looks better’ crowd never seem to mention, and the nerves around that area can feel incredibly strange – like bolts of lighting – after orgasm.”

He ends the post by saying that he ultimately had his foreskin removed after he was “shamed by American media and their immorally untrue message that foreskins are dirty and ugly.” The man references other, more recent pieces of media like Bad Moms that “body shame men who escaped genital mutilation at birth” before calling on modern society to stop shaming those with foreskin.

“We have to loudly reject the American attitude to men’s genital integrity – for a country with so many ‘woke’ voices, how does their open acceptance of body shaming continue?” writes the Redditor. “I literally had myself mutilated because of these messages, hoping that it would make me fit in. I cry for that 21 year-old kid… I will not be watching And Just Like That, and I will never forgive its predecessor for its treatment of male bodies.”
