Religious mutilation: Not even once.
I had medical mutilation. I lost a lot of sensitivity down there. But it allows it to work and wife has been supportive in a country where it's a rare thing.
I don't think anyone is arguing against it being done for medical reasons and especially on someone willing.
Yep. If an adult wants to do it, then it's nobody else's business. But parents shouldn't be allowed to make a decision like that. An infant can't be religious.
Neither of my parents are or were religious, yet I have a scar there (not hyperbole, actually hurts if touched too much). I don't know if foreskin is useful for anything in GRS, but if it is I'm gonna be pissed I don't have any.
Bad news girlfriend, it is useful. The more you have to work with, the better.
I too am pissed.
I already have less to work with than average 😭
Its not a death sentence though. Surgeons are quite adept these days.
My mother scandalized the Navy nurses by refusing to allow me out of her sight for any reason including a circumcision. She said there was no need,.as she loved every part.if me, and wasn't going to be staying in the hospital one second longer than necessary. The doctor had to shoo the nurse out of the room while she was objecting that was not standard procedure.
promise you'll stop getting a circumcision? What? like it's an ongoing decision like smoking cigarettes?
People on Lemmy don't get jokes
Please just explain it; I'm dumb
You don't snip a bit after every celebration?
When the Chiefs won the Superbowl, I got a lil circumcision to celebrate.
What? Taylor Swift getting laid wasn't enough of a celebration for you? You had to go and cut off your penis foreskin too?
It is a trope that this how a partner responds to seeing self harm scars. But this isn't a self harm scar it's a circumcision scar.
Honestly I think the OP is trying to tell us that husband was telling his wife, every time they have a baby boy, please stop giving consent to the doctors to circumcise every new baby boy.
I think it's related to scars from cutting yourself. You can get addicted to that. The joke being that the partner confuses the two types of scars
When is the body positivity movement going to acknowledge that men who have been circumcised are not broken? So much toxicity around this online. Every time this comes up, it's just a bunch of people shaming guys who have been circumcised.
We arent shaming the guys but the parents. Being circuncised is not a condition that just happened. Its shitty parents mutilating their babies because they think it looks better.
I strongly disagree. I did a not have shitty parents; they are wonderful.
It was misinformation at the time. I HIGHLY DOUBT they were standing there looking at me thinking “his dick will look better without that extra piece of skin when he’s older”.
Everyone has done something wrong due to misinformation with long lasting repercussions.
It is, people can get circumcised for health issues
it can be done for health reasons, this is usually done later, after the fact. But i'm going to hedge a bet that the rate of circumcisions vastly over blows the rate of medically needed circumcisions.
when did we start shaming circumcised men? I'm sorry?
There's constant slurs and jokes being thrown our waynat our expense. It's a daily aspect of our lives.
"Cut that out"
"are you getting snippy with me?"
"I'm afraid we'll have to cut our time short"
You probably don't notice it unless you've been circumcised yourself.
You don't go to a bar and someone points at your dick disfigurement (or what we call a dickfigurirement) with, "Hey look at snippy dick"?
I don't hate my doctor or my parents for doing what they thought was a good idea at the time.
I'm fine and I love both my parents just the same. Hopefully you can find peace as well.
if you should be mad at anything it's society. Realistically it's not even really a medical design, it's more like "hey we do this thing sometimes, do you want it done?" And then a yes or no. Perhaps 20-40 years ago that was the case though.
Honestly, missing a bit of dickskin is a lot less troubling to me then how hard we all work and have no real protection from the hurdles life sometimes throws at us.
Who's taking care of my elderly family, spread out across the states? My nephews have to choose between affording a home by both going to work, or actually raising their young kids. Where is our eldercare, our universal healthcare, our pre-k benefits?
I have my reasons to gripe about society, and crazy as mutilating a baby under the pretense of health is, I don't think it's as deadly or dangerous to us all long term, as these oligarchs and their sycophants robbing us of our dues, enabled by an unregulated economy.
The clock keeps ticking on the detonator.
Actually when you are circumcised you can feel that you are going to come, I mean I know for sure because I am. But it's still a lot of fun xD (the meme is still fun)
edit: I'm not understanding why this comment was downvoted. it's just said something that to me is so, is it wrong? maybe I'm being punished for know-it-all? you don't like the idea of being circumcised? i was circumcised when i was 2 years old and because otherwise i couldn't pee
I got a lot of shit for a very trivial comment, but what the fuck... what's wrong with you guys?
I am pretty sure you can feel when you are about to cum regardless of circumcision status. That's just how dicks Work. Ya know
Same reason you can feel when you need to pee. It's not the dick itself that actually controls the fluids.
So the Pee Fairy is a lie?
Well it is the pee fairy that decides when enough pee is stored inside your balls and when to release it.
Can confirm lol
Or more precisely, how prostates work.
Fun fact, you can feel it when you're uncut too. At least, my spouse has never not been able to warn me over 14 years together, so, that doesn't seem like a good reason to mutilate kids' dicks.
It's actually the other way around, the orgasm-sensor is actually located in the foreskin
that's where it gets the name, foresight-giving skin
