Circumcision is inhumane. Who keep up with the idea to cut dick?

Oh hey I got a magically idea guys let's start cutting penis of babies. Hopefully it doesn't die.

It made sense back in the day when good hygiene was harder to maintain, but in first world modern society it's so fucking weird it's still done

Where's the "was but not anymore" option?

circumcision IS actual genital mutilation

MrMallard posted...

I am, not by choice. But I wouldn't change it if I had the chance - this is my cock and I'm happy with it.

No. While there's nothing wrong with you if you have it done, I do think it's wrong to do to a child unless medically necessary. It should be their choice.

Calling it mutilation is fairly silly.

its fairly appropriate considering its has ancient origins the primary focus being to stop boys from jacking off. not only is it inhuman its outright ignorant

Since when has a cut dick ever stopped anybody

it takes the pleasure out of it, which results in less a satisfying climax therefore cut men masturbate less than uncut men. so it does mitigate it at least.

lmao you're deluded if you actually believe this, any of this

http://www.mothersagainstcirc.org/sex-cut-uncut.htm

A group of doctors headed by Dr. John R. Taylor at the University of Manitoba discovered that the small sheath of foreskin tissue removed during circumcision is filled with extremely sensitive nerve endings and mucus membrane cells. The head of the penis itself is extremely insensitive to light touch, although it can be stimulated by heavy touch, they found. That lack of sensitivity in the head of the penis may well account for an increased need by circumcised men for the more intense stimulation that masturbation and oral sex can provide, according to Dr. Robert Van Howe...

see yourself out

I'm cut, at birth. I'm ok with it. I like my dick. I've had no complaints about it. It works just fine, sex feels good, masturbating feels good, etc.
If you're cut or not, I don't really care lol. Your penis is not really my concern.

Who actually had a choice to have their foreskin removed?

When it causes complications like... Losing the penis, scar tissue causing painful erections, too much cut off resulting in multiple conditions not limited to painful erections.

I actually know a cis man from Sweden who got a botched circumcision that caused enough complications growing up that he sought out and received surgery to get it turned into a vagina. And yeah I've seen pics that verify his claim.

Its pretty sick what they do to children

DuranOfForcena posted...

lmfao pass

also the part you quoted says almost the exact opposite of what you were asserting, that cut men "need" to masturbate and have oral sex more than uncut men to get pleasure, not that they masturbate less because they've been cut, as you said in your post above that

lmao reading comprehension not your strong suit i see. confuses need for increased stimulation for more masturbation. do i need to spell it out for you? cut men need heavy stimulation not more masturbating

what's so wrong with being against circumcision ? Even if someone posts articles from doctors detailing why it's wrong and how it's damaging to the body/psyche, CE just doesn't want to hear it and mocks anyone against it.

This thing still legal?

how would you be uncircumcised against your will

Even if it's not "psychologically damaging" as doctors claim, it's still a permanent medical procedure that's done mostly for cosmetic reasons nowadays. It's not cleaner to the point that it justifies doing it to a baby. If you want the circumcised look do it when you're old enough to consent. Not everyone is happy about being circumcised and there's very little they can do to regain their foreskin. Sure there's foreskin restoration that uses an apparatus to stretch whatever remaining skin is left, but that takes years and it's not perfect or doesn't work for everyone. Hygiene isn't an issue as long as men have access to a shower. STD/STI aren't an issue as long as safe sex is practiced. UTI isn't an issue because it's an easily treatable medical condition. A woman worth her time isn't going to throw an entire relationship away just because you have a foreskin. It's only shamed because media and other people want to make men feel bad for having a foreskin. And before anyone say circumcision reduces the chances of penile cancer.... of course removing a part of the penis removes the chances of penile cancer!

I guess if you're underage, you want it done, but your parents won't let you. That is a really small set of people. And even then it would probably be more of a peer pressure thing or something.

I am circumcised, dont really have an opinion on it. If I had a son I dont think I would have him circumcised because it seems archaic but for my own purposes its never been an issue or anything

LeperMessiahXX posted...

Not only am I circumcised, the doctor apparently did the best job ever. My mom has told me stories that are now creepy of my pediatrician showing off my penis to his fellow doctors. Older me doesn't get it, did they regularly fuck it up back then or did they just want to see my baby dick?

When you were born, did a nurse tell her colleagues to leave this one alone?

Not by choice because I was probably a day old but if I had to choose Id do the same.

Why?

if you were cut and you had the choice, wouldn't you want to try life again with a foreskin just to see what it's like?

what kind of peers pressure you into getting circumcised

anyone that thinks it's not mutilation needs to get educated on anatomy. It's not even up for debate, because it is cold heartless mutilation. Period. Your sensitivity and overall enjoyment goes from a 10/10 to a 3/10, at best. And if you're unlucky enough to have a really tight cut where they take lots of skin it goes to a 2/10 if not 1/10. I'm only loosely cut and my sensitivity still fucking sucks and I hate it.

Research about how it all works and you'll understand what you lose: The ridged band, frenulum, inner/outer skin.

Also, not having a foreskin almost always means you lose the ability to produce certain pheromones that are made in the inner foreskin which significantly helps attract females. We need to do a poll/study to see out of all the guys that are 30+ virgins with bad social skills, how many are cut and are not. I'll bet a good 75% or better are cut.

Some articles online say we're too advanced a species for pheromones to make a difference...lemme tell you that's BULLSHIT. Smell is incredibly important for attraction. I've been around girls before that I had a neutral opinion of until I got close enough to get their scent and I'd be like damn she sure smells good I want to give her a hug and take her out on a date.

I mean, plenty of people online encourage it. And the rates are so high in the US that they could want to look like their peers. I dunno.
---

I've always heard sensitivity loss is normally at most like 10%, so you're at 90% of what you were before/would have been

---

No.
---

it's like being colorblind. You'll never know what you're missing until you experience it. Yes you can still enjoy sex while being circumcised, but it will never compare to having sex with an intact foreskin.

Nah man. Just because you have a weird hangup about foreskin, doesn't mean people who think differently about the issue are brainwashed sheep.

Like what am I gonna do? Get angsty about it, get ass blasted at my parents for snipping my willy skin off? Regrow it with a ziplock bag and a couple of rubber bands? This is my dick, as I've always had it, and I'm comfortable with that. I don't yearn for a time where I was "complete", because this has always been my reality - and that doesn't make me upset, because I have more to think about and worry about in my life than to add another layer of victimisation on top of it.

I don't have time to give myself an ulcer over an insignificant flap of skin taken off the top of my knob. My cock is fine as it is. That's as valid a viewpoint as any pro-foreskin talking points - I'm just as entitled to like my circumcised dick as much as you are to vehemently opposed circumcision as a cruel and barbaric practice. Foreskin is not a big deal to me - I know it is to some people, including a circumcised person on this board who feels wronged by it, but it doesn't inspire this mouth-frothing victim complex in me and that's fine.

If this is a big deal to you, then that's your fight. Being circumcised is a non-issue for me. I'm perfectly whole as a person, and being circumcised doesn't make me feel like I've been robbed of anything. My cock is still there, I can still jerk it with or without lube, I can fuck just as good as anyone with a foreskin. Say what you will about the practice, but it's perfectly reasonable to not give half a flying fuck about having your foreskin removed. I don't need the stress of painting myself as a martyr for being an unwilling participant in an elective surgery, I have shit that I actually care about to worry about.

Because I am more than happy being cut and if I had to go back and make the decision myself somehow Id say yup go for it.

You're literally brainwashed sheep if you're fine with circumcision and advocate it and shame people who have a problem with circumcision.

What does it say about you that your response to a circumcised guy who's perfectly content with his penis is "you're just a brainwashed sheep who wants to mutilate babies"? Do you want every cut guy in the world to feel ashamed and insecure about themselves?

Worrying about a slip of skin that doesn't affect your greater wellbeing, to the point of shaming people over it and calling them monsters for not falling into lockstep with your victim narrative, is self-centred and stupid. If having an unwanted circumcision as a baby is a big problem for you, I respect that you feel violated and that you have extremely negative feelings about the practice. I don't respect attempts to paint cut guys who are happy with their junk moronic idiots who have been swayed by a grand agenda of the masses.

I'm sorry, but being ass blasted about circumcision is a first world problem. You're not being bombed or raped or oppressed on a large scale - you're upset over an elective surgery that doesn't change all that much of a person's life or wellbeing, to the point where you're hysterically citing all these facts about numb penises, like a circumcised man doesn't know what pleasure is. Female genital mutilation is a bigger issue, for the severely negative effects it has on women's reproductive health and for the culture that forces that upon them. When circumcision involves sewing the tip of your penis shut until there's only a tiny pinprick there for you to pee and cum out of, creating build-ups of filth and bacterial disease that causes the penis to rot and fall off, then I'll grab a picket sign and march on the front line to abolish circumcision. Until then, there are more troubling issues in the world for me to feel bad about, there are more pressing issues in my own life I want to focus on, and I would rather be content with who I am than feel violated and lesser for someone's victim narrative to take off.

---

This guy just destroyed the narrative that intact guys are more sensitive than cut guys.

---

Something worst doesn't make circumcision less wrong.
---

I'm not saying that bigger problems in the world doesn't make circumcision a problem, but I am saying that I see FGM as a bigger problem in the world with a bigger negative effect, on all fronts.

Again, there's a genuine dude on this board who takes issue with his circumcision. I respect his feelings on the matter, and I respect anyone's individual issues and struggles with circumcision. I understand that people feel insecure, or feel a sense of loss, for having a natural part of their body taken away. I can respect that on an individual level, but I can't respect it as a greater topic of internet discourse because as an issue as a whole, I do feel like it's a first world problem and the false equivalencies and outright falsehoods that dudes troll with are absolutely insane.

And like even then, do whatever you want to further your cause - your feelings on it are valid, and it's understandable to dislike it as mutilation. I remember an episode of MASH where Hawkeye wanted to take out someone's healthy appendix to get them out of the war, but BJ objected on the grounds of mutilation - I can understand the issue at hand. I just think it's gross that someone saying "I was circumcised as a child and I'm perfectly happy with my penis" is met with "well, you're just a sheep" or "you agree with the process of mutilating a baby's genitals".

No, I just don't see anything wrong with my penis or with a healthy circumcised penis, and I don't think I should feel insecure or ashamed about being circumcised because it was the worst thing that ever happened to a small subset of guys. Just because circumcision makes you feel a little less complete, that doesn't make it a universal experience.

Can you at least accept that cut guys can be perfectly healthy and content with their junk without it furthering a culture of mutilation?

i straight up thanked my mom for choosing to have it done after some of the shit i heard about

Nothing permanent should be done to a children too young to consent if it isn't saving their life. Children are not property.
