For those who think the foreskin is useless
The foreskin represents 50% to 80% of the skin system of the penis.
The average foreskin has over three feet of veins, arteries, and capillaries, 240 feet of nerve fibres, and over 20,000 nerve endings.
The foreskin is as sensitive as the fingertips or the lips of the mouth. It contains a richer variety and greater concentration of specialised nerve receptors than any other part of the penis.
Just as the eyelids protect the eyes, the foreskin protects the glans and keeps its surface soft, moist, and sensitive. It also maintains optimal warmth, pH balance and cleanliness.
Apocrine glands in the foreskin produce antibacterial and anti-viral proteins such as lysozyme, which is also found in mother's milk.
One of the foreskin's functions is to facilitate smooth gentle movements between the mucosal surfaces of the two partners by its rolling action along the shaft and over the glans during intercourse.

deeni, are you perhaps a man who is lamenting the loss of his foreskin?...nm

Sorry...this was in agreement to saying that they STINK, no matter

But doesn't it stink up the bathroom?
I don't know about you, but I love my garden tub and I spend at least an hour in the bathroom every day - just showering and doing my hair and makeup. I can't imagine smelling kitty litter while I'm doing that. I realize that bathrooms are made for the purpose of excreting stool, but it seems such a waste to have a tub like that and not use it for its intended purpose.
I always use my garden tub once a week to "rejuvenate" with a long soak. I figure I'm entitled to that even with the water shortages since I save on gas by not working outside the home.
To each his own I guess! 
Most docs stink these days. And they think everyone is a hypochondriac
if they can't figure out what you have. Good luck to you and I hope you feel better and you find a decent doctor (good luck with that too!)
The Stink in Farts Controls Blood Pressure...

A smelly rotten-egg gas in farts controls blood pressure in mice, a new study finds.
The unpleasant aroma of the gas, called hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can be a little too familiar, as it is expelled by bacteria living in the human colon and eventually makes its way, well, out.
The new research found that cells lining mice's blood vessels naturally make the gas and this action can help keep the rodents' blood pressure low by relaxing the blood vessels to prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). This gas is "no doubt" produced in cells lining human blood vessels too, the researchers said.
"Now that we know hydrogen sulfide's role in regulating blood pressure, it may be possible to design drug therapies that enhance its formation as an alternative to the current methods of treatment for hypertension," said Johns Hopkins neuroscientist Solomon H. Snyder, M.D., a co-author of the study detailed in the Oct. 24th issue of the journal Science.
Snyder and his colleagues compared normal mice to mice that were missing a gene for an enzyme known as CSE, long suspected as being responsible for making hydrogen sulfide. As they measured hydrogen sulfide levels taken from tissues of the CSE-deficient mice, the scientists found that the gas was depleted in the cardiovascular systems of the altered mice. By contrast, normal mice had higher levels of the gas, thereby showing that hydrogen sulfide is naturally made by mammalian tissues using CSE.
Next, the mice were subjected to higher blood pressures comparable to serious hypertension in humans. Scientists had them respond to a chemical called methacholine that relaxes normal blood vessels. The blood vessels of the CSE-lacking mice hardly relaxed, indicating that hydrogen sulfide is a huge contender for regulating blood pressure.
Hydrogen sulfide is the most recently discovered member of a family of gasotransmitters, small molecules inside our bodies with important physiological functions.
This study is the first to reveal that the CSE enzyme that triggers hydrogen sulfide is activated itself in the same way as other enzymes when they trigger their respective gasotransmitter, such as a nitric oxide-forming enzyme that also regulates blood pressure, Dr. Snyder said.
Because gasotransmitters are common in mammals all over the evolutionary tree, these findings on the importance of hydrogen sulfide are thought to have broad applications to human diseases, such as diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
The research was supported by grants from the U.S. Public Health Service and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research as well as a Research Scientist Award.
The one in the front seat, not smiling, is definitely thinking, "Eww. It sure does stink
