I was only a Child at the time, maybe 8 or 9, so the details are very hazy, but it was pretty much a lack of skin. I was growing beyond that of the available skin and was already in daily pain.

Indeed, the whole thing is disgusting, but its done because of "trad.ition"
Type four in your link involved burning, wtf is wrong with these people
.It's quite common I've read somewhere. The skin is too tight, so they have to remove it to prevent further complications.

I think it still should be a personal choice... there is no long-term downside to circumcision other than less sensitivity (if thats a problem for you) if done properly.
One of the best benefits is (I'm not completely sure of the numbers now) about 50% less chance of getting HIV (There has been a medical study)

Practising safe-sex renders that benefit null.
I think female circumcision is disgusting, but I will confess an ignorance to any medical advantages that could be yielded from it. I think similarly, regarding male circumcision, when it's performed as a religious ritual. For instance, in Judaism, it's performed with the express purpose of dulling the pleasure of sex for the male. Regarding any medical benefits male circumcision would bring, I think that not only answers itself, but is separate from my main objection to it.
I think the whole religious reasoning behind the genital mutilation would be laughable if it didn't have such a negative affect on the people it's done to.
"God created us in his own image, he is infinitely knowing and his design perfect. Just pass me that sharp stone so I can saw the end off of this penis and shave off that clitoris." It's not only disgusting, and immeasurably harmful, it's absolutely nonsensical as far as religious idea of design can go.

This is not an issue because of the fact that you lose some of the sensitivity there, so Its not noticable at all...
It feels exactly the same as wearing boxers with an uncircumcised one..first off hardly a choice when it's routinely done to kids
secondly what study says this? can you provide some proof?
Yeah in Africa where hygiene is bad and people don't wear condoms, totally irrelevant to people in the 1st world.
Less sensitive? Ugly?

speaking as someone that made the personal choice for medical reasons when i was 27 I can say without a shadow of a doubt that sexual activity of any nature is more pleasurable before circumcision.
I dont mean to rubbish the POV of some but lets be honest - if you were not old enough to experience sex before your circumcision your POV is moot.
the reason is simple - the penis must adapt and lose sensitivtity to avoid pain.
those that believe that it aids cleanliness are using the excuses of the past - we live in an age where, if we like, we can take two showers a day.
edit: there is ONE upside though - I can now 'go' like an olympic athlete lol

There are none, it is a barbaric ritual done with the purpose of removing any enjoyment women might get from sex, and as a means of controlling when and with who they have sex. Go and look at this website
