Yes

No..unless you are a real cut up.

I dunno. Do you think a college football player that holds the ball for a field goal/extra point should be considered down once he touches the ball?

Ohhh. Interesting. But not in the NFL.

Riiiiiight

Not down by contact. Which is what you need to be for the play to be called dead.

Not in college.

I think circumcision is horrible, but I'm not in favor of stopping people from mutilating their babies. Any doc who does this is a scumbag however.

"I'm not in favor of stoping people from mutilating babies"

Read that a few more times

I said their babies.

Pro-choice!

I am. I do think abortion is murder, but i dont think we can or should stop people.

we mostly stopped FGM in the west. we can do more.

Eventually.

This is prominently on the list of things I could give a flying fuck about.

Don't you want your dick to be more sensitive?

It is what it is, no changing what I got. I have no complaints.

What about your sons or your grandsons?

If I ever have any I will probably go with what my wife wants to do. I don't really think it is important. Not saying your feelings about it aren't valid, I just don't care.

Fair enough.

Why does your wife get to decide? That's kind of messed up and kind of beta if you ask me.

Because I don't have strong feelings about it either way and, more importantly, I trust her judgement. We are a team.

Well just so you know coming from someone who is not it's far more sensitive and the experience is heightened. Circumcision is an early form of psychological abuse and it robs the ethereal being in all of us. It's barbaric. Just keep that in mind if you ever have a boy and are deciding. In all of my experiences women prefer it.

I also did not mean to come off as an ass or anything. This topic is just dear to my heart. The act is cruel and plain evil in my opinion.

I took as you intended it man, no worries at all.

Yes. It's torture rape.

The baby was kept in the machine for several minutes to generate baseline data of the normal metabolic activity in the brain. This was used to compare to the data gathered during and after the surgery. Analysis of the MRI data indicated that the surgery subjected the infant to significant trauma. The greatest changes occurred in the limbic system concentrating in the amygdala and in the frontal and temporal lobes.

A neurologist who saw the results postulated that the data indicated that circumcision affected most intensely the portions of the victim's brain associated with reasoning, perception and emotions. Follow up tests on the infant one day, one week and one month after the surgery indicated that the child's brain never returned to its baseline configuration. In other words, the evidence generated by this research indicated that the brain of the circumcised infant was permanently changed by the surgery.

Babies first trauma induced mind control!

Holy shit, it all makes sense why I'm so alternative and see through all the BS, I'm not cut, thanks mom. Because she is a nurse I'm wondering if she knew about this in the 90s when I was born

It's what they do (and profit!) with all the foreskins that bug me.

And occasionally snip part of the actual penis off - disfiguring the child for life.

Preacher!

Seamless leather rings, purse straps, O rings, etc..

I heard rabbis prefer them to chewing gum too.

More info on this please?

Dicks are ugly enough to women as is when they’re circumcised...

now you want to add foreskin to it?

You’re a fuckin’ animal.

If a chick don't like dicks the way they were made, move on. We're not desperate. I hope, boys.

Yes it should be banned

Yes.

It's literally genital mutilation.

No because in many cases it's done for medical reasons, either as a cure for hard to treat conditions or preventive reasons.

obviously medical necessity would be exempt. that's a whole different thing.

a study in Finland found most phimosis can be treated with creams and stretching. surgery is needed for only one in 10,000 boys.

circumcision does prevent a healthy sex life. it does not significantly protect from disease, only a condom can do that!

Wrong.

Being as you're not allowed to crop a dog's tail due to animal cruelty, then it should be considered inhumane/criminal to mutilate a child that hasn't or can't give consent.

yes it is sexual abuse and "grievous bodily harm" as ruled by one court. there were also two articles this year in the AMA journal of ethics about this

remember FGM is already banned and the penalties are severe. why is there an exception to traumatise young boys? think about it.

Do they get paid in tips?

100% child abuse. It should be that person’s decision and NOBODY ELSES’.

Fuck this bullshit archaic practice.

Gay male here. Intact. I hate hooking up with guys and finding mutilated genitals to play with. I feel sad for them. They didn’t choose that.

yES

If you don't have a dick then you shouldn't even be able to comment on this !!! Ask any man who is circumcised if he would prefer not to be and see what answer you get. Ask any man that has been required to have it done later in life due to medical reasons and see if they would have preferred that it was done when they were younger. My dick is plenty sensitive. Thank you mother for taking that shit off. Last thing I want!!!!

So we should allow irreparable genital mutilation simply because some people prefer to have a less functional penis which in their subjective view looks better?

There is no medical reason to get circumsised. Let the guy choose if he wants his dick mutilated when he reaches 18.

I am. I do think abortion is murder, but i dont think we can or should stop people.
