Poll: Oppression Via circumcision

[Vita]

I'm circumcised because of religious reasons.

What? The lower area of my helmet is the most sensitive part for me.

This is true, as I am circumcised at an age where I remember the feeling of being uncut, I could probably answer how that is exactly why circumcision reduces the sexual sensation...

After circumcision, the head is very vulnerable for a few days (or weeks), when it rubs against a piece of cloth i.e. shorts, boxers etc. It gives you a very strong sensation that flows throughout your whole body.. but after those few days (or weeks), have passed, the head adapts and becomes quite tough and insensitve.. that's the reason why some sensitivity is lost.

edit: sorry, didn't realise you're circumcised Silly me

I had to be circumcised as a child, about 4 or so I think I was. Can't recall the condition.

It made me very concious going for a pee at school, or at the pub. I shied away from potential 'relations' when offered because I was worried about it's appearance.

I got over it by about 18 though and my wife much prefers it. A friend of mine also had it done at about 19 and he also prefers it. I won't really know, as I have 1 memory of a foreskin lol.

Wife wants to get our unborn son done, I'm not convinced.

You were concious about it because 4 is pretty old and you have some sense at that age.

I had it as a baby and I have never felt concious about it(well except the colour). I've always thought it was completely normal and accepted. Whenever I imagine a penis in my head, it's automatically a circumcised one.

Go and google FGM, and then go and be sick.

They either cut off part of the female genitalia so they have no sensation down there, or they stitch them up as a baby (as in stitch their foof up) so no one can get in there until their husband needs to, and it basically heals over, and causes unimaginable pain and issues as a result of having their foof stitched up.

What a horrible thing to do to someone, Why would anyone want to put their child through that. Also don't doctors swear a hippocratic oath so surely doing this procedure is a contradiction

 

[semi-pro waster]

Lol, if you say so.

Nah, you're probably right, cutting off skin off a child is harmless. Certainly not painful, certainly not traumatic. Nope, not at all.

In comparison to female genital mutilation it is clearly at the lower end of the scale and that millions of men seem to manage fine after circumcision seems to suggest that it is not as problematic to most individuals - that does not imply that it is entirely without issue or that it should be done in any case other than where medically required which is something I thought I'd made clear in my post.

But thanks for the rolleyes and the sarcasm, it's always appreciated when it's the instant recourse to anything someone disagrees with.

Why the heck do you imagine circumcised penises in your head?

It's not just that - it quickly becomes clear when going swimming, or in the bath with my bro or anything like that during the early school years that it isn't quite the same as everyone else.

Then you get the gigglers when it comes to sex ed at the age of 10/11 when circumcision is mentioned and so on.

I'm a confident person but it was one of my biggest 'things' as a child and a teen.

 

[lunarwolf]

barbaric mutilation that has no benefit. the hygene excuse is utter nonesense and not a medical fact. it's not hygenic not to wash and confusing the two is moronic.

LOL...

I mean just generally. Like imagining the Eiffel tower or something.

If I imagine a penis, it's just automatically a circumcised one because that's the norm for me.

Full intact, and it will stay that way

You relate the eiffel tower to a circumcised penis?

 

[paradigm]

I beg to differ. As someone who NEEDED to have it done on medical grounds, I'd be in immense pain and suffering without the op.

It has no downsides either.

Doctors dont tend to do it, it tends to be done by just an older woman and theres no anaesthetic or anything

Here you go, the awareness day I went on was run by this lot, don't read this if you are squeamish. Am just trying to raise awareness, as it seems lots of people don't know what it actually involves

And heres the 4 different types of what they do to women

Clearly the thread is in reference to ritual circumcision, not medical.

It has no downsides either.

As Sorrells et al showed that is wrong, many people have actually died as a result of complications.

fair enough if you have some operation that requires you too. btw what was the condition.

but for the vast majority there is no medical reason to do so, so not needed or should it be imposed

 

[Wizzfizz]

Other than for medical reasons I just think its completly wrong and barbaric to do that to a child.

Shocked that a woman would subject such disturbing actions on a baby tbh.

 

[Destination]

surly if the parents are English, they can still be prosecuted when they return?

yes, yes they can, and if anyone knows of where this is happening the parents should be reported to child protective services, until action is taken, and people are jailed over it, then other families will assume a blind eye is turned towards this disgusting practice (FGM)


Death penalty for those performing it, it'll stamp it out soon enough

Indeed, the whole thing is disgusting, but its done because of "tradition"

Your bell would rub against your boxers! Nah thanks.
