Do you think that there might be a personal gain factor that makes some obstetricians recommend circumcision?
I didn't think it was ridiculous, however your statement that you have less of your penis, is quite idiotic, they remove skin only, none of the actual penis.
if you want to pretend that that it's just skin, by ignoring the frenulum, ridged band/preputial ring, skin varies in different areas. pro-circumcisers try to make it sound like it's just ordinary skin, when in reality it is highly sensitive skin that serves a good bit of purpose. it's designed to facilitate the gliding of the penis, a sort of natural bearing, as well as a protective cover for the glans here's a medical study, that skin that's "just skin" is 4 times fmore sensitive then the skin left after circumcision http://www.nocirc.org/touch-test/bju_6685.pdf
Haha. Seriously, that got an lol out of me. Well. OK. Maybe not an outright laugh, perhaps just a giggle. Either way, thanks.
You don't actually think the ability to ejaculate is purely physical do you? Hmm, . . . Explain "hands free" ejaculation on circumcised men.
In Dungeons and Dragons terms people that do what I've highlighted have what's known as Chaotic Good Alignment - they follow thier own moral compass. I usually play as chotic good, although my rogue was always chaotic neutral, it was easier to role play player killing and general mischieviousness as CN alignment. I guess im a CG with some CN tendancies. In thinking about it, I would probably not have the procedure done to my son.
Religion has been and always will be the way the "few" control the "many", . . Btw, did I mention I'm a bit of a wiccan?
Oh yes, there most certainly are much more barbaric and sick things. Lets think a minute, murder comes to mind as does rape.
for the record I agree with you on the murder but not the rape so let's argue about this Rape - rarely any physical damage can be mentally damaging reduces pleasure from sex often the person places themselves at some risk of getting raped (getting drunk at a party) Circumcision/genital mutilation physical damage can mentally damaging (if you realize in your one shot at life you can never truly experience sex) reduces pleasure from sex done so the doctor/hospital can make some quick profit OR so the doctor can psychologically defend his "cut" status by forcing others to be cut
This is what I mean about uncircumcised people are more pissed about the process then people who have been cut. Like everyone I know who is cut, their dick works fine, and so does mine, and I'm sorry but we like it better that way, I don't care if it's natural the other way, uncircumcised dicks look like ant eaters and even though it's probably because of culture here most girls agree too And no, I'm sorry, people like you want to believe we don't have the pleasure cause it's so easy to ignore science, but I'm sorry, every test done into this has gave us the results of that it does not effect sexual pleasure at all. The only conclusive evidence that has ever come up is uncircumcised men get more pleasure of regular masturbation while circumcised men last longer in sex.
That's one of the stupidest fucking things I ever heard. I know a girl who was raped and she's been off-the-top ever since. She didn't place herself in any risk either unless sleeping in her own bed is a risk. (which in that case ANYTHING is placing yourself in a risk) The physical damage may be temporary but often the mental damage is forever. And it's an age-old fact alcohol is a given excuse for females to act as sluts...
I didn't place myself at risk of being mutilated (unless you consider being born) once you realize the damage and true reasoning behind circumcision (that it is meant to harm) then it is no different then rape. from a kid I never looked right down there, caused me severe emotional distress, no camps or anything, avoided changing in gym class etc.... I missed out on a lot. and there are still days when the severity hits me and just puts me into a horrible mood because there was no reason to do it, but yet my rights as a human being to experience my own body as a male have been taken from me, and I can never experience what true normal function is, foreskin restoration has helped but also reaffirmed how much I have lost by knowing what I gained back, how much more am I missing, I don't have that human right to know, but I know I gained back A LOT I wish I could be ignorant and happy like most men with cut up penises, but I know too much now from restoring
