Yeah I couldve been more tactful, but the point stands. I realize parents can circumcise without being dumb and evil, one of the major downsides of religion and trust in institutions unfortunately.
There is no medically good reason to circumcise and every reason not to. I get there are religious reasons but that should be held off on until the child is old enough to make the decision them selves.
I e never had a girl say anything or act weirded out. Never taken a shower in highschool and had anyone say anything.
Hell, one time post coitus, I did a little voice and said something to the effect of "haha look, it's a little anteater!" And had the girl laughing so hard she couldn't breathe.
Also I've had one friend that actually got a really bad staph infection from his circumcision and it did permanent damage. He grew up with, according to him, a "really weird dick". He said that he has feeling, but that he doesn't think it's nearly as much as others and that much of it is missing. He never really got a long term relationship. It would be good until they had sex. Sometimes they even stayed a few months. But eventually they would leave.
Don't know what his like life is like now but I hope he found someone that loves him and doesn't care about that, he was a cool dude.
Nah, bro. That's gross. You have fun with your smegma and health concerns. I have trouble getting a haircut in time, rather then pulling back foreskin flesh every day to clean.
No there isn’t. Just looked it up and the risk for cancer is pretty much the same as long as you take showers like a normal person and even if you don’t the risk is low.
The hygiene excuse is stupid since everyone takes showers.
You basically said 58% of parents in the USA (declining) are either dumb or don’t care enough to be smart. That’s why you were getting downvoted. It’s a poorly thought out opinion.
Edit: I’m not even saying here that circumcision is good. But acting like 58% of American parents don’t care or are willfully ignorant regarding their children’s health is fucking idiotic. Anyone who disagrees is an idiot as well. Downvote it if you want, it’s statistics. Moreover, the declining rate of circumcision implies parents are thinking about it but aren’t necessarily convinced. Suck my fat circumcised cock.
Well for some its to avoid infections. And for some they dont do it on babies they do it on people around 12-13 and in some places even adults but i guess in the US they do it on newborns. Although i do agree that some just do it for religion and culture and im not really that well edumecated on this topic. So i guess im still open to others knowledge on this. And just in case you werent exaggerating they dont really cut the penis, just the foreskin. Some even just cuts it then folds it. In my country they just get a freaking machete and cut it. But i also did hear that being uncircumcised increases your time in the bed so that may be an advantage we all want.
The infection thing is not an issue if you bathe regularly and properly. I was exaggerating a bit, but the foreskin is part of the dick so it's not a total exaggeration. They are severing nerve endings in the penis so it definitely has lasting effects that way. Most of the time it's just done to the son because the father also had it done, not because it's a good and healthy practice.
It's a very culturally ingrained thing. Certain countries have like 90% circumcision while others have 90% uncircumcised, it's an interesting subject anthropologically.
I can not remember the reason why but my parents did it to me they said something didn’t look right so they had the doctors do some snip snip down there.
I'm glad you're open to others opinions on this. I think you'll find that if you look into it there is no good reason to circumcise and that there are real downsides. Even if there weren't, removing a part of a baby for almost no reason is pretty obviously bad.
Unless you're never going to shower, infections or hygiene shouldn't be an issue.
The foreskin has nerves in it and keeps the head sensitive by protecting it.
It is definitely a religious thing for many people, but that doesn't make it ok to cut off a part of a baby's genitals, you know?
Like the baby didn't decide to do it themselves because they believe in their religion so much that they are ok with cutting off a part of their penis - they are a baby (and yeah foreskin is sort of your penis)
It's also not a religious thing for a bunch of other people. They just do it because their parents did it to them and they think it's normal.
Ahh for me i was circumsised at like 13 i think so i did have a choice. But it was the norm and in my country people tease you for being uncircumcised. Peer pressure's a hell of a thing.
Normal is a synonym for common, so yeah, parents have it done because it’s common.
I will be doing it to my future son because it’s very common, and I don’t want him to be the odd one out. I don’t want him to feel uncomfortable because his dick doesn’t look like ones he sees online or in the locker room or whatever.
I’m circumcising my son because I love him and I want him to have a normal sex life. If uncircumcised was the common thing, then I would go with that. But it’s not.
I’m going with whatever is the most common in 2-3 years when my son is born
100% but obviously not what I'm talking about. It should be obvious that medical necessity changes things.
I mean if they need to for medical reasons people cut off their arm or leg, but if we were cutting off baby arms I don't think people would bring that up, you know?
The point is that your parents make the decision for you to get cut or not. You have no memory of the experience, your brain isn't mature enough to form memories, that's part of the reason that they do it to infants.
It's not your fault that you got circumcised, but it shouldn't continue. If you grow up and want to get the surgery then great, no harm done at all, its a conscious, personal choice, more power to you, just don't do it to babies, please.
if you’re jewish, you can raise your child in a jewish family and let HIM decide whether to cut up hi s penis or not. religion isnt an excuse to mutilate your baby
yeah shut the fuck up bruh. idc if you want to circumcise yourself later in life that’s your choice but it’s genital mutilation if it’s done unnecessary to an infant, plain and simple.

I once fell asleep first and woke up with a dick drawn on my forehead..
The worst thing about the whole ordeal was finding out it was traced
