No but it is cruel and a gross violation of bodily autonomy that should have huge amounts of jail time attached.
Thank goodness my parents said they would rather have left that choice to me when I was old enough. As an adult, why the fuck would I get circumsized unless you have a specific reason to do it?
I'm jealous that your parents cared enough to let you decide. I wish mine had done the same.
As for why you would do it willingly I don't know either.
I've heard that a lot. I've even had someone approach me after taking a public shower before and try to strike up a conversation about my bits. Sorry about your bits, brother.
It is what it is, I've come to accept it but I will never not be mad about it.
Thank you for the condolences.
A friend of mine did it for medical reasons. His foreskin was too tight to pull back, which made it really hard to clean, and I think there were some other problems associated with it as well.
I've never heard about an adult getting circumcised as an adult for religious reasons, but I'm sure some people do it.
And it was his choice so I have no issue with it, forcing it upon someone is what I take issue with.
