That's not a circumcision related thing.
Yes.
The doctor that refereed teenage-me to a specialist, or the specialist, or the second specialist that we went to for a second opinion.
yeah. they totally don't know what they're talking about.
FWIW, Mohels (the jewish individuals who perform the B'rit Milah) take far less of the foreskin; and it's "generally" a "safe" procedure. The surgeon that performed mine fucked up and covered the fact up.
Oh. I assumed you meant as a baby. I guess this is a rare reason to have this done as a baby.
What's the reason to have it done as a baby? There is no reason; you can't determine any potential penis issues someone might have while they're a baby
There are a small number of complications that can arise, including some that require the procedure to be done later. Obviously this is more traumatic for a teenager than a baby that doesn't have modesty issues and heals much, much faster.
But what you do with your kids is up to you. I'm not gonna be there standing over your shoulder.
There's a small number of complications that can arise from anything, we don't use that as an excuse to preemptively perform surgery on babies. The issues that can come from botching genital mutilation far outweigh any "benefits". People have killed themselves over this
Any surgery later in life is traumatic. That's not a good excuse either
Bruh.
I was circumcised as an infant. I didn’t find out about the nerve damage until I was a teenager.
You know how puberty works? For me it was how it always was, and I didn’t know something was wrong until an ER trip.
What on Earth do you mean?
Ofc it is.
They don't have regular feeling in their dick because of genital mutilation, so they did a ton of Viagra, which they wouldn't otherwise have needed.
