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.
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.
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.
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
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
Can confirm lol
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.
Or more precisely, how prostates work.
really? thanks for telling me, if it wasn't for you i would have never found out. thanks man, thanks for existing
Is this satire?
That, or cope.
probably just an 8/o on the internet.
but why should I be an 8 year old excuses? what nonsense
But why is it supposed to be satire sorry?
You actually don't seem to know (which surprised me), so I will tell you. I'm from Brazil, almost nobody here is circumcised. I can say for sure, everybody, circumcised or not, can feel they're about to cum, that has nothing to do with having or not foreskin.
There are people who report that being circumcised makes you a bit less sensitive so you last longer. I cannot confirm or deny that, although it makes sense. But feeling your about to cum is not an ability you unlock for being circumcised.
You said in the edit that you don't understand why you got so much push back. You got it because your comment is very confident in an absolutely wrong fact, that shows a very strong lack of understanding of other people

But I already knew this. What are we kidding

There must have been a big misunderstanding. I certainly wasn't bragging about being circumcised, but come on.

If you already knew, you weren't bragging, and it was not satire, then what did it supposed to mean?
I honestly thought that whoever made the meme was trying to allude to the fact that those who are circumcised cannot feel when they are about to come, which is why I said it
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.
well sure it's as you say. i'm just saying that. then as for me i was circumcised for medical reasons (i was pissing myself from all over) so i don't really understand the point of your sentence honestly
how come you didn't warn me last time?
I'm not getting it :'-D
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
okay I said it because it was supposed in the meme but it's all the same
I really wish my parents would have asked me before doing that.
I'm sorry parents and doctors are legally allowed to mutilate an infants sex organs. It's honestly fucking disgusting, and tragic that you are one of the many victims.
In a couple decades circumcision will likely be looked back on as one of the many barbaric practices that was common in the past, and I can't wait for that day.
In the US? The same country that just overturned Roe v Wade? Yeah, somehow I have my doubts they will rid themselves of the archaic genital mutilation. I would like to believe people in 2024 are also smart enough not to crop a dog'a ears or dock its tail or hell, breed the abominations like pugs and french bulldogs. But that is not the world we live in. The world we do live in is filled to the brim with idiots.
I realize that having it done as a newborn I'll never really know, but mutilated? As an adult iv seen and played with those flesh danglers. Listen we are all humans and beautiful, but fucking hell I'm happy with mine. They are like one of those weird deep sea critters you see on nat geo or sciencememes.
True, if I ever have a baby I'll make the argument to the mom we SHOULD give the kid the choice... but I know that as a poor adult I would never do it now. But am happy it's been done.
I hate to sound like a "Liberal" talking about Palestine, but this may be a somewhat nuanced situation.
The definition of mutilate is "inflict a violent and disfiguring injury on."
Circumcision being the forced removal of the most sensitive part of the males genitals, that literally disfigures it, I feel like saying it's mutilation is just the correct use of the word.
I'm curious, why are you "happy it's been done"?
I live in a country where we don't perform this procedure out of tradition/religion, or at least not in the majority. I'm only aware of it being done for specific medical pathologies such as phimosis.
Because I kind of agree with the sentiment that performing unwarranted surgeries on someone that is unable to voice his (non-)consent is an ethical problem. Even more so with excisions, which always are drastically and usually irrevocably diminishing the body.
As someone who is circumcised and chose not to circumcise their son, I'm seeing that circumcision has a lot of benefits. My son's foreskin has always been too tight and won't still fully retract at 7 years old. We have to put cream on it every night. It needs a lot more thorough washing every day or else it gets discharge all over it. The care and maintenance on an uncircumcised penis is like 1000x that of a circumcised one. I never knew any difference, so I'm not sure what the downsides of having a circumcised one is.
You literally can't, because you'll be dead by then.
an infant's* sex organs
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.
Bless your mother
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.
