A Queens man is suing a website for wrongly claiming that he is uncircumcised. According to John Singer, 49, the website Centropa, a European oral-history project, misquoted his mother as saying her two sons had not been circumcised. He says he informed the site's director that the information was incorrect, but it was published online anyway. Singer has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages. "Centropa.org and its editorial staff have violated my right to privacy of the most intimate part of my anatomy," said Singer. "They have caused me tremendous emotional pain and suffering. I feel humiliated and betrayed." [Gothamist] More »

You know how hippies who are opposed to circumcision are always all, "Circumcised penises experience a reduction in sensitivity"? Well, a new study in the most recent issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine totally contradicts that, saying that the head of the dick is just as sensitive on a circumcised man as an uncircumcised one. (I never understood that argument anyway. Don't we want them to be less sensitive, so they can last longer?) Apparently, this is the most comprehensive and technologically advanced study on the matter to date, as its data included subjects in an "aroused state", which is something that had never been done before. (They had the dudes get naked and watch porno.) More »
