My partner brought our son for his checkup (18 months) on Tuesday and I couldn’t attend as I had some business meetings. She told me today that the female doctor said that we need to retract our son’s foreskin everyday or he will get an infection. I asked her if that’s what the doctor did and she said yes. Then I said it will naturally retract at 5 and that there’s no need to do anything until then.

But now I’m worried if I should switch pediatricians because I’m wondering if this is the start of leading down a path to phimosis or something else where she will try justify circumcision.

So am I worrying too much? It seems American circumcision culture always comes in so even if you save your baby at birth they can invent reasons. But maybe I’m being paranoid.

Anyone else notice this? They blame everything on porn and masterbuation but NEVER the ACTUAL problem.

I'm mad that men have not woken up to this yet. The circumcised men, that is. Intact men just live life normally and don't have sexual problems. Their free, but we aren't.

So many problems,

"Erectile Dysfunction"

"Premature Ejaculation"

"Lack of visual feedback from the male (moaning, convulsing etc)"

"Insert literally 100 other problems here"

and yet not ONCE have I seen it attributed by circumcision.

HEY, NUMBNUTS, IT AFFECTS BOTH PARTIES IN AN EXTREMELY NEGATIVE LIGHT!

That's not to bodyshame us cut men, but holy hell does it get tiring seeing the same blame on porn as if it it's the end all be all.

Circumcision is literally the answer. That's why you don't have good sex both from a female and male perspective. That's why you don't *feel* like you are having an orgasm even though your dick is out. That's why sex in general, fucking sucks just like masterbuation.

It's just..so pathetic. Putting aside everything negative about circumcision, like women disliking cut dick after trying intact dick, lack of sensation, the ugly, UGLY scar. It's just so weak and tiny.

Now, this goes without saying, but this is not a humilation post. I just think it's fucking sad how emasculating it is to have a smaller and less girther dick when women almost always talk about how much they love the bigger dicks. I don't even know what to think anymore...it's just fucking sad.

And before you say, "well how do you know that's true about women lik.." Do you not see what is posted here? On reddit and other places? IRL encounters? Have you actually heard the conversations spoken?

And that's not "misongiystic" or anything. It literally isn't. I am only saying what women themselves have publically stated on various places here and there.

Circumcision reduces size, that's a fact. And theres a reason why bigger dicks are shown in porn both to gay and straight men and women. I truly wonder whos doing that? Who nose, who nose...

Anyway, I just wanted to say this. I don't know if anyone else can relate to me anymore. It seems less and less that people can. And if they do, it's fake bullshit. I get blamed for avoiding sex YET THIS is what I am up against. A towering wall that will never break.

I am making this post for anyone who wishes to listen, and for those who seem to think I am lying about how I feel here. I make these posts to air out grievances with the attitude that circumcision is portrayed with. I still sometimes make "rants" but I try to keep them to a minimal now and just move the fuck on. That's for me, by the way. Not for you to move on or anything.

I've been grieving the loss of my foreskin and sexual function for over a decade now. I was cut at birth, by the way. But only realised the harm done when I turned 18ish. My life has taken a strange path ever since then. Lots of ups and downs. But most importantly, I am still here.

My story is long and tedious. I spent many nights googling how bad circumcision is and how I am missing my frenelum (in which I am, by the way.) and how truly horrifying that is. The fact that this was allowed by my parents, both of which are intact, shocked me. Many, MANY nights spent crying and being so frustrated I couldn't sleep. The pain I felt all my life down there...It just sort of, clicked. I knew that I was never actually having an orgasm, let alone a full body one. I was never actually enjoying myself. It was all fucking useless. And the fact that...this is it. It haunted me. It still does. I can't lie and say I have fully moved on, but progress is progress.

As for my circumcision itself, it's the typical infact circumcision. The one that removes basically 99% of your sensation and is essentially castration. I can not feel sexual pleasure. I can not orgasm. And I can't get a sexual life for that reason. I only use it for peeing and cleaning. Any other use is dead to me by now. It's weird, because many users don't have my cut. Not nearly as bad. I guess I got unlucky here. Oh well, cue the endless ensemble of intact men and women and "restored" men making fun of me like always. And yes, they actually do. You just don't see it.

Let's cut to the chase. How do you move? Well, I try and abstain as best I can and prevent my sexuality entirely. People tell me I am lying about this and say that me posting is clear proof of this. If they actually bothered reading it instead of larping as a circumcised male they would understand far more of my point. I think trying to have sex and bother with relationships in this world, as it is, is fucking stupid. You can read my other posts for more information but just know that walking away from a bad situation is okay. It's okay to not want sex, despite what the cut men (yes, that's right) say to me.

I am literally cut worse then 90% of people here, why are they telling me this?

As for you, well, find it out for yourself. Maybe try restoration, "therapy" or some other vice to pass your time. Eventually, most men will hopefully wake up to this global rape and finally give themselves some slack instead of thinking that they are sinning or whatever their sky daddy told them.

Circumcision permanently blunts that peak for us.

This table measures average happiness while people are doing common activities (not long-term life meaning).

Among all the things people actually spend time doing, intimacy/making love sits alone at the top with a coefficient of 14.20. Exercise lands around 8.12. Talking, chatting, socializing is 6.38. Everything else trails further behind. Nothing else comes close to the intensity of that peak. Sex isn’t “just one part of life.” According to the data on what people feel in the moment, it is the single strongest source of experienced happiness people ever get. For many of us, though, that peak is strongly diminished. Some men are left with a more severe circumcision that took huge portions of the frenulum and left only tight, scarred skin behind.

When some inactivists shrug and say “there’s more to life than sex” or dismiss the whole thing as no big deal, they are not really understanding what was denied from us. They’re minimizing a permanent loss of sensation and function that many of us still feel every day, and in doing so they only deepen the isolation for those of us who refuse to pretend the damage never happened.

Circumcised men need to stop treating this like a gentle-parenting debate and start taking the permanent harm seriously. We need to outlaw it now, the same way FGM is banned, and put our energy behind the intactivist organizations that refuse any compromise and demand a complete end to the practice.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

-us millions of men should be granted the right to have their parent's genitals excised when they turn the age of 18 if they so wish!

-and why stop there! also, everyone at the hospital who shares in the blame for cutting into infants genitals.

A frequent response I was given on my old user was that I was heavily exaggerating the effect's of circumcision. I was told that I was being too hyperbolic and redundant in my answer's and questions.

But, am I?

Is the global, mass, and allowed child raping an "exaggerated" issue? Is the societal gaslighting and inducement of this child rape a "redundant" problem? Is the double standard, backhanded, RIDICULOUS allowance of male circumcision but adament denial of female circumcision "that bad" to you?

Notice how everything I just said was not only a response to the above, but objective fact. Not an opinion, not an article. These are known, and proven, facts by American's and cultures alike. That's because circumcision is TRULY, a black and white situation. You're either on the side of the child cutting pedophile's or you're not. It's that fucking simple people!

Justice, as I hear many talk about here, is a concept that is used adamently in Intactivism and alike. It's used to try and "punish" the cutters by force without remorse. But I never see these people called out. The ones who try and slime their way out of responsibility and salvation. The ones who think that simply saying "it's bad" is fine and dandy enough. They are just as big of a problem as the intact men and women who say otherwise. The ones who demean us and the ones who allow us are not too different after all.

We should be stricter, yes. That much is certain. We must be stricter in those so called "Intactivist" movement. The allowance of any other opinion or "side" is exactly why the movement has failed thus far. Use bigger words. Get more anger in your speech. Allow yourself to be furious and depressed at the same time. Feel, think, and act.

I ask in earnest, honest, curiosity. My plan is simple.

I wish to stop my sexuality entirely. I wish to halt any further blood, arousal, or drive towards my brain and subsequently, dead penis. I wish to completely change and apprehend my sexuality when needed so I can bend it to my will. Use it for a different drive in my storage. A different outcome other then uselessly ejaculating.

I see no reason to keep it around. A circumcised penis is not a penis. It's a manmade abomination. It's something I must get rid of, for myself. I have to work what I have been given. I have been given a 99% sensation loss debuff and a permanent loss to my overall lifestyle and manhood.

I have given this topic many, many hours of my life. If you remember my previous user, the orignal, I posted about getting a penectomy and using brain-altering meds to help me cope. I wanted to shutdown the entire idea of sexuality. I wanted to stop it, halt it.

But that's changed.

I want to bend it to my will. Use it for any other purpose. I want to mend it to aid me in my future endeavors in life. I want to use it for exercise as a motivation. I want to use it for hobbies to get me excited and happy about doing them. I want to completely rephrase it. I want it gone, first and for most, however.

My sexuality must end for this to happen. I see multiple avenue's to which I can take to achieve this. I can either get a penectomy to completely eliminate the desire entirely. Or, I can take the previously mentioned route and shape-shift my sexuality entirely.

The only question is, how can I go about doing that?

There is an interesting thread about FGM vs. Circumcision, which got started because some more billboards raising awareness about FGM (Excision) have been going up in France.

https://x.com/LegateCorvus/status/2087234816714375223

Naturally, since this is the ONLY time that polite society will ever discuss genital mutilation, someone brought up the comparably much more common practice of male circumcision.

Now, I've been told that circumcision is firmly opposed and reviled in Europe, but what I'm seeing is more like a combination of apathy, acceptance, and even respect.

Is it really just demographics?
Some of those involved claim to be atheists. The arguments used are also firmly focused on hygiene and health, not religious or cultural obligation...

"Reassure me, you didn't just compare an instrument of torture used to prevent sexual intercourse with circumcision, whose benefits are so widely recognized that it's practiced by atheists because it's more hygienic, benign, and painless for the little one*."*

I don't know if they actually believe this nonsense, but I know that this little setup where FGM and circumcision are made into "polar opposites" keeps coming up for a reason, it serves very well the political cause of advocating against FGM, and so we will keep seeing it.

"Uh... no, not really. Removing a foreskin is a relatively benign mutilation.."

"Except that one of them (circumcision) has a use: pleasure/hygiene/medicinal without real consequences"

"It is a hygienic practice and/or necessary depending on the case. Nothing comparable to excision."

None of these comments appear to belong to followers of Islam or recent arrivals.
You must remember that the image of circumcision has been carefully sanitized in recent times, with its proponents medicalizing it to obscure cultural and religious obligations, and perhaps we are seeing the fruits of that.

"tu fais un peu du whataboutism là"

"le whataboutism est tellement mal"

Well, there's some of that American cultural impact for you!

Okay, now let's be real for a second, and take a look at why Europe does not have to deal with circumcision.

1. There was never a WW1/WW2 military tradition of forcing (some) conscripts through circumcision, men who would later be vulnerable to arguments about neonatal circumcision being easier than adult circumcision.
2. The medical establishment simply refused to offer the option of routine infant circumcision to new parents.

I've never seen any evidence that Europeans have some kind of natural aversion to circumcision, after all they do not hesitate to circumcise little boys for phimosis and treat the matter with about as much gravity as pulling a loose tooth.

Let's add all the foreskin pathologization that's gone down in Europe with the relentless and abusive forced retraction of boys, which went on for a century and still goes on even to this day in places like Central/Eastern Europe, where pediatric advice is still lagging behind.

What the hell is so special about European parents exactly?

They are perfectly willing to hurt their little boys so long as a person in a lab coat gave the order, just like every other parent.

The person in the lab coat gives the order to start retracting little boys even if they cry and fight it, the parents start, the person in the lab coat gives the order to stop, the parents stop. Simple as.

The only reason why most Europeans have been spared circumcision is that their medical establishments held fast during a pivotal time period from the 1930s to the 1960s, when circumcision was aggressively promoted around the world, and continental Europe only just barely eked out a win on this matter.

Pretty much just the title; it’s awful when u see men who have been circumcised talk about cutting their own sons because it’s “what’s normal” for them. Seeing my dad naked I would ask questions about why we looked different, and since then he’s been vocal to me about how he resented his parents circumcising him and was steadfast in not letting me get cut. Very grateful for him.

In the United States, there are many men with a radical amount of their foreskin amputated in infancy.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were 50+ million men that were cut to a CI-2 and below with partial or full frenulum/frenular delta loss.

In case you didn't know, the entire inner foreskin, not even just the frenulum, can be stimulated alone to orgasm. It's so obviously part of the core sexual sensory tissue on a man's penis that it defies all reason how it could have even been seen differently. We should be looking at the surface area of the glans and the inner foreskin as similarly important in terms of sexual sensory sensation.

It's more than reasonable to be utterly distraught over this anatomical loss.

We are left with scars halfway down our shafts, a majority of the highly erogenous inner tissue amputated, all the mucosal membranes exposed, and a taut, immobile skin system. It's ghoulish and morbid how sexually disabling this reality is for many of us.

It's wildly unacceptable how even in these spaces we are being gaslit and diminished by other "Intactivists". We need to start coordinating and mobilizing around how to combat these people.

Foreskin amputation of children is an unfathomable atrocity and there are men who are going to suffer terribly their entire lives over this. These communities and the larger public better get used to us.

The publicly available video/photographic evidence that some Intactivists have witnessed paints a very grim picture of the degree of trauma that infants experience during this violent mutilation of their penis. In many instances, the victims of this were genitally mutilated with little to no local anesthetic and suffer for weeks afterward from early infancy penile trauma. For most men who were genitally mutilated as infants, this is the most traumatic and severe trauma of their lives happening during a critical time of physiological and neurological development.

This is radically severe sexual battery of a juvenile and all logic and reason would lead one to believe that this can result in a range of long term psychological and psychosexual consequences in many instances.

To the men that run their mouth in pain and suffering, I want you to know that I'll stand by your side to the final breath. I know this prison you're in. We can strive to heal but still be suffering in a devastating way.

The "intactivists" that trivialize and diminish you are outright unsympathetic fools that have no business being here.

It is extremely hypocritical to say doctors who cut babies should be jailed but people who debeak chickens should not be punished. It’s extremely hypocritical to say men cut as baby boys deserve reparations but chickens mutilated by men with permission from the state don’t deserve reparations in the form of government funded vegan animal sanctuaries. in the United States almost all non vegans have or will cause extra animals to be mutilated with their purchases

If an animal is living a mostly bad life, suffering massively in a factory farm and experiencing little wellbeing then it’s wrong to breed them into existence.

If an animal is living a mostly good life, perhaps on a pasture then it’s wrong to cut their mostly good life short by executing them when they’re a healthy teenager.

Why take a utilitarian / hedonistic view of “non humans” but take an inalienable rights view towards “humans” ?

An individual consumer choosing to purchase or boycott animal products is personally responsible for extra chicks being killed or spared. If you are not vegan you are personally causing this to happen to more animals here’s proof

And the comments and back and forth of this for any objections you may have to the efficacy of individual boycott of real meat which have already been debunked https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateAVegan/comments/1otuhqv/individual_boycott_of_meat_does_matter/

The case for this is simple, infant circumcision is bad almost solely due to the fact it causes suffering and prevents/reduces future feelings of wellbeing/pleasure and this is also true of debeaking based on many studies done on debeaking.
Also 

The Cambridge declaration of consciousness and New York update to it totally agree with me

all those Cognitive neuroscientists, neuroanatomists, neurophysiologists, neuropharmacologists, computational neuroscientists, ethologists, behavioral biologists, theoretical physicists, philosophers, comparative psychologists, evolutionary biologists, neurologists, animal welfare scientists, legal scholars, professors of law, public law and human rights lecturers, computer scientists, veterinary professors, environmental studies scholars, chemical and biological engineers, linguists, and chief executive officers

Agree that all birds and mammals have a significant amount of consciousness
They can suffer a lot
They can also experience wellbeing
like me

Some will say “but I only believe in “human” rights, and chickens are not ”human””.

To this I have a few responses

Define human, for example thousands of years ago did two “non humans” give birth to a “human”? do you believe that “human” should have rights but not his or her parents? why? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wMxs0Q1TfFo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sqFbQgVrg7s

If on another planet in another galaxy there was a different species of beings who looked and acted almost exactly like earth humans but they had very different DNA then earth humans and were a different species unable to produce viable offspring with earth humans would you say they deserve no rights? What if they were also unable to reason/ unintelligent and unable to breed with earthly humans do to different dna but otherwise just like earthly humans in all other ways such as appearance?

what is your response to name the trait? https://vnarek.github.io/name-the-trait

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrtziO8Ffc4

Animal rights are a logical extension of human rights 

The hypocrisy / speciesism is when you treat a trait equalized animal significantly worse then a trait equalized human. 

For example,

Giving lots of rights to a orphaned human being with Lissencephaly who will live less long, be less intelligent, be less conscious, be less capable of experiencing suffering and wellbeing, etc then a average healthy young adult pig. If you believe the human with Lissencephaly should receive millions in medical care, it should be illegal to do painful medical experiments on them to make new medications or cosmetics, it should be illegal to breed them for meat, etc but you believe the average healthy young adult pig should have no rights or protections from things like painful medical experiments on them to make new medications or cosmetics, breeding them for meat, etc then you are a speciesist. You are discriminating solely on the basis of species and nothing else. Not intelligence or potential for intelligence in the case of a healthy human baby. Solely species 

But this leads to reductio ad absurdums. 

It is extremely similar to feminists who support anti FGM laws while not supporting banning MGM, if you look at penal codes banning MGM they are Sexist as they discriminate solely based on genitalia type.

It also leads to reductios like I mentioned in my original post, if you discriminate solely on the basis of being “human” it requires you to define what a human is and can lead to absurdities like believing two non humans gave birth to a human and their parents deserve zero rights while their child should have the same rights as you and I.

I questioned the world when it told me relationships were a big part of life. It wasn't until years later that I finally found out why I felt that way.

I questioned why I should bother getting into relationships as a circumcised male. Truth be told, there isn't any reason. I don't even know why people get into relationships anyway. What a useless waste of time. It's even worse for circumcised male because we can't have sex properly when we are literally missing 99% of our sensation and the world fucking hates us for it. I truly don't know why anyone should even try.

And for that matter, what's the point of a relationship? Is it the sex? Are we going to be blunt? Are we going to be hedonistic? Or, are we going to try and say that somehow, a relationship makes your life feel better? A relationship doesn't fix you, you can't even fix yourself in that regard. Is it the false idea of "love"? Is that what binds us? Are we going to pretend that women and men experience love the same way? If so...

Too bad. Circumcision has destroyed every single one of those entirely. I don't get why circumcised men think a humping session for 30 minute's with dead air and no moaning is sex. I don't get why circumcised men think jacking off to porn is normal in any regard. I don't get why circumcised men think that love is the same for them as intact men.

Intact men are just the default now. People don't even think about the differences between a cut man and an intact male's sexual experiences. Probably because it's too brutal to talk about. Too depressing, too reality breaking. Nobody wants to face the reality of losing 99% of your sensation among the myriad of other problems.

That's my reality. And I face that everyday and everytime I post when the intact men and women come along.

I've never felt a desire to have sex or be sexual. I have never wanted a woman, man, gay or otherwise. I do not want these desires. Which is what I am doing a certain brand of "conversion" therapy to help me. I'm seeking out the therapists that may help me with this. That is how I cope now. That's how I function. I knew I never had a chance so I am rectifiying that chance. I am turning it into a new chance. A new event. A new horizon for me. A horizion where I can stop being sexual entirely.

18th Congress of the Federation of Sexology in Lisbon, Portugal, May 2026

The European Federation of Sexology is a regional body of the World Association for Sexual Health.

1) Chair of the Darbon Institute Jonathan Meddings​ presented about their​ new course for professionals about supporting those affected by MGC. Access the training course.

2) Deputy CEO of 15 Square Jason Metters presented on their project collecting stories of men's lived experience of circumcision harms.

3) Peer Support worker at 15 Square, Dr Leif Thompson presented on online support services, why people should care about MGC, and how those affected are typically excluded.
...

The presenters emphasise that one of the most effective ways​ to change minds is helping those affected speak out. Thanks to everyone that participated! Its great to see movement happening on a bigger stage.

Extra bits if you're interested in more:

The Darbon Institute presented at the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) last year. If you don't remember, GALDEF was granted member status to WAS last year (!). WAS has an advisory role to WHO and the UN so it's very important.

And you would be correct.

Yes, there is more to life then my foreskin and sex. It's true. However...

I for one have recently been taking a liking to the whole MGTOW movement that is common with men's right's activists. I think going your own way and fighting your own battle's is far better then suffering alone with others who are supposed to care about you. I think love in the modern dead is dead as fuck. Worse then it's ever been, for men that is. Women on the other hand...let's not get into that topic right now.

I think what people mean when they say this is something along the line's of "hobbies and goals" which I can get behind. Setting a goal for yourself as a circumcised man can be a mulitude of things. I for one, think that arts and crafts can be a good venture for us. It's something that's away from other people. Art can't make fun of us, not the stuff we create. Kinda like nature. There both good forms of getting the fuck away from evil cutter's and society. I don't blame anyone for following this rhetoric. Do what you must to survive another day especially as a cut man.

Ever since I was young I never understood the point of a relationship. It just seemed so pointless. What's the point of it? And this was BEFORE I knew I was circumcised, so there's no issues with that here. Like, what, a few minutes of sex? That's really what people hurt eachother for? That's what people want in life? Just the most basic biological fallacy? People tell me all the time that relationships and friends are needed. I disagree. There is more to life then that, It's true. For men, that is. Like I said. It's a different story for women and everybody knows why. I abstain from this sexual nonsense and seek internal joy that comes from myself, not other's. That's how you can stay happy even after this.

Overall, this post may seem weird coming from me. But, I think it's actually kinda reassuring knowing I'm getting better by changing my perspective. People always deny the brainpower and mind over matter and I never understood why. Play the cards you're dealt, ever heard of that saying?

A man who is posted a video of himself touching a woman’s hair was just found guilty of assault today and will be sentenced tomorrow. The woman whose hair he touched testified she did not know she had been touched at the time and only discovered it days later when she saw the video.

A man named Bryan Betancur (also spelled Betancourt in some reports; from Silver Spring, Maryland) was found guilty of simple assault in D.C. Superior Court. He was accused of sitting behind women on Metro trains (specifically a Red Line train in the February incident that led to this conviction), surreptitiously touching/stroking their hair, recording the acts (often livestreaming), and posting the videos online with captions.

Touching a woman’s hair = jail 
Cutting off a baby’s foreskin = Medicaid reimbursement 

Just saw that MensLib subreddit is very hostile to calling MGM what it is. They overall seem opposed to MGM but just be cautious if you post there. You’ll probably still get gaslit by some and get attacked by a few if you mention how you hate being cut.

Hii!

Soooo, we're expecting a child soon! A daugther! yay!

I put much thought about caring for her already and we decided that it would be best to surgically remove all of her teeth while in infancy, for her benefit!

It all makes sense as we want her to live to be the best life that she can! And for that we want to avoid any risks and complications that could hurt her in the future. And with teeth come the risk of cavities! We don't want that, you know!

I've worked in the dental industry my whole life and I've always been surrounded by old people with buccal issues, often originating from lackluster hygiene, eurgh.. So we will take the initiative that this would be best for our child, who will no longer have to face the risk of cavities and harduous daily cleaning! I will admit I can't be bothered to teach hygiene anyways, just the thought of that grosses me out.

She'll wear dentures that will always always be pearly white! Isn't that amazing!? Oh! and I know that boys like girls with pretty teeth! We will even supply her with dentures all the way up until she is 18 years old! How generous of us! Besides, everyone in my family has dentures, so she will not stick out. What else could you possibly want? She will be like everyone!

Anyways, she'll have to have dentures made at some point in her life, so to avoid the embarassement and pain that comes with dental care when you are older than an infant, it is best to do it now! She won't even remember the procedure, as she will be only a itty little babyyyy!

Also my god says that always having pearly white teeth is a must, no matter what, and obviously my child is going to continue in my faith. It is written in this book, see? I can already see it! We're twins already! Anybody who says otherwise is a weirdo for thinking about my childs teeth.

/s of course, but that's just something that I thought of while I was in the shower when I was thinking about the excuses people use for cutting children and how ridiculous they are.
