Idiocracy
All else being equal, most women (and gay men) will choose a man with a full head of hair over a bald man, especially if he's balding but chooses not to shave it, or tries to hide it with a comb-over or hairpiece. Shaved is one thing, but if you have a fucking tonsure or a bad wig, you'll look like an ancient old man. That isn't sexually enticing to anyone on the entire planet other than bizarre fetishistic outliers.

Other than that, being bald is great and pretty manly when coupled with a muscular physique and a beard, unless you have a weirdly-shaped head.

What is this "being chosen"?

Maybe. I don't have one. Is there someone who can attest to a before-and-after? Recent religious converts, perhaps?

But why would I *WANT* to reverse my baldness? Thanks to baldness, I haven't had to have a haircut in over 40 years. The money I've saved on this alone is enough to pay for every computer I own!

If Finasteride blocks also the production of dihydrotestosterone (i don't know really if it does) then you will have more overall testosterone, because dihydrotestosterone is like estrogen a feedback for lowering the testosterone production. In the end you could have more testosterone, which means that you have Hair, more muscles and you are more attractive to women, but you will die faster.

I had mine circumsized cause I had phimosis. I was quite young when I had the surgery. Your head will be very sensitive the first days after the procedure cause it hasn't been exposed to the elements as you said, however the skin will quickly harden and you wont notice a difference. That also means you aren't as sensitive as before, meaning you can hold longer in bed, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Honestly the thing I best remember was the narcosis, understandable why some people find it addictive.

For any religious reason to cut it off is just mind boggling, and I don't really see any reason for anyone who doesn't have phimosis to do it either, except it looks nicer imo.

I'm pretty surprised this circumcision topic has went on for two pages without a single anti-Semitic statement.

But I already have a wife, and I *AM* an ancient old man, and nothing I can do is going to hide that. Given that, I've just gone with a really long beard, robe, and pointy hat. And I'm just plain bald. The years have caused all of my hair to gravitationally settle to the bottom of my head.

That also means you aren't as sensitive as before, meaning you can hold longer in bed, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I can't say I've had this as a problem. I don't think this works quite the same for my people as it does for yours.

Narcosis? From what?

Sorry to interrupt the dick discussion, but nice wines. Not sure about the Henscke but the Penfolds looks like a great Cab Shiraz.
