Circumcision is barbaric and should be stopped

The health and hygiene concerns about being uncircumcised are really blown out of proportion. They are not legitimate reasons to essentially perform genital mutilation on baby boys, long before they are capable of giving consent to the procedure. The West always makes a big deal about female circumcision practiced in some cultures of Africa and the Middle East and we like to take that opportunity to call their societies barbaric, but what we do to young males is not any different.

    Circumcision be it male or female should be illegal. Now, there is a medical condition in males where the foreskin is so tight that it cuts off circulation, in cases like this circumcision is the only way to alleviate the condition. Medical circumcision should be the only legalised reason to circumcise someone.

    I am glad I had it done .. I just prefer the appearance of it and my sex life feels fine when I have sex or receive oral sex so .. I don't know maybe someone else is having a different experience and that suck's but I am happy with mine .

    I just don't like the whole sausage casing look of the penis when it's not ... possibly it feels better but for me I just don't like the loose skin hanging over the head like a beat up sausage casing .

    just my thoughts

    Fuck off...

    Seriously, what the fuck is with this site & circumcision "mutilation"?

    First of all you're comparing "female circumcision" - basically removing the clit to prevent sexual enjoyment entirely - with removing some skin.

    I was circumcised as a kid & I'm glad.
    My dick is fucking beautiful & most girls I've spoken to prefer circumcised.
    If it wasn't done then I would have wanted it done when I could but it would be so much more traumatic at this age in my opinion.

    I also know girls who are extremely turned off by uncircumcised men (although dreaming about them) but I've never heard of the opposite being true

              If people want to practice miscegenation, that's their business - I just don't want to see it, hear it, or hear about it. End of story.

              How dare you attack me, you damned demented miscreant; you're the one advocating the mutilation of little boys' penises, not me.

      You cant miss what you don't know, so males who had it done as babies are not missing anything. Most guys I know are cut and never give it a second though.

    Circumcision originated in countries where water was a scarce commodity, soap unknown or difficult to obtain, and with low levels of personal hygiene. It was practiced by tribal communities and has no place in the 21st century. Routine infant circumcision is a transgression of human rights and the right to have a say over you own body. Stop turning baby boys into prepuce amputees. If they have any desire to have their foreskins chopped off, let them take an informed decision after they turn 18 years if age.

    The only people who seem upset by it is uncircumcised males.

    Its a crime and morally reprehensible.
    This days its know a man uncircumcised is more sensitive than a circumcised.
    For religious reasons or any other culture reasons is wrong. Circumcision its a mutilation.
    Sometimes its needed in boys in puberty when the penis skin does not stretch enough and gives enormous pain and boys start having a hard one. Than Drs. do it.

  • Ironically, hearing the arguments in favor of circumcision are all I need to support my position against it.

    "Oh, they won't remember it!"
    "It looks more sexually appealing!"
    "It would be too traumatic to get it done as a grown-up, so I'm glad my parents forced it on me when I was still a defenseless child!"
    "But...but...everyone else does it!"
    "My religion says I should."
    "It's cleaner, and I apparently don't know what soap and water are!"
    "You don't miss what you don't have, so who cares?"
    "I like it, so others should have it done too!"
    "Uh....um....er....fuck you, True! You're a racist!"

    I rest my case.

    Let the unexplained down-votes from cowardly scum commence.

    For what its worth, I agree with you and a lot of others do too. Just not on this site. I'm currently restoring my foreskin by tensioning what little is left to trigger growth, like ear gauges. If you want more info there are several sites and forums online about it that can help you decide if its for you and help get you started.

    "female circumcision"? I don't understand.... African and Middle Eastern women have dicks, or am I miss understanding something?

      You're very ignorant, but perhaps can be excused because of FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) being called circumcision.

      The two procedures are entirely different, the most obvious reason being that the aim of FGM is to prevent the woman ever having any sexual pleasure and therefore "faithful" to her owner/husband. Google it for details but it involves removal of the clitoris and labia.

      This is not to say I'm in favour of male circumcision, originally ordered by some mythical god centuries ago to make "his" people different to others and who frequently ordered those people to bring him the foreskins of defeated enemies as a sacred offering. What deviant sadist thought that one up?

        Ever notice how the ones who always bring up the topic of circumcision are the ones WITH foreskin?

        Stop projecting your shame you're not fooling anybody.

        And if by "Americans listen to what ever they are told" you mean, parents of baby boys take the advice of American doctor's than ok...

        How is it barbaric? It's a small slice of excess skin. It is physiologically impossible to remember such an experience as a new born.

        Lastly, please inform me why I need excess skin to roll over the head of my cock?

        • We can assume that there are many people who were molested at that age, but don't remember it; I suppose raping babies is alright then?

          Cutting off part of an infant's penis without anesthesia is the very definition of barbaric.

          FUCK, son. Do you even think before typing?

            You want to give an infant anesthesia? Do you even think before typing?

            It's not considered barbarism anywhere in North America.

            People who aren't cut over here are the "freaks" who get made fun of. So you'd suggest them growing up like that and to find out girls are not used to that and potentially be made fun of? That sounds like a lot better option ya douche.

            It's a decision for the parents ultimately, and that's all that matters.

            And LOL at you trying to force a correlation between circumcision and child molestation? I think they put your brain in sideways.

            • I'm generally not one for personal attacks, but you're a fucking idiot. Not "ignorant;" not "uneducated;" you're just plain STUPID.

              You suggest we cut off parts of little babies' genitals so that they don't get made fun of. Because everyone else cuts off parts of little babies' genitals around these parts. So we should do it too. Or else they'll make fun of us. Right. Yeah.

              You asserted that the practice is ethically sound due to the fact that the victim is not likely to remember it. Well can we assume that molestation of a child that age is fine with you too then, as the victim is not likely to remember it? Hell, circumcision IS child molestation - in fact, it's WORSE; at least pedophiles leave it where it is afterward.

    I'm pretty tired of this person on here last time they claimed there was a link between autism and circumcision which is pure propaganda. The hygienic and health reasons for having a circumcision are valid as well as the aesthetic reasons but this person would have you believe that infants generally days old not only remember this happening but are emotionally scarred by this. How badly I want to smack this person with my beautiful circumcised cock he is probably on here because his girlfriend dumped him for somebody that was cut.

      There are no benefits of circumcision. It only does one thing, which is reduce sexual pleasure.

      Comment Hidden ( show )
  • Arm0se

    It's just cutting off some extra skin, man. It's not like it's hurting them and more people prefer cut to uncut. If they were cutting their tip off so sex wouldn't be fun anymore that would be a different story, but they aren't. It's Like saying people shouldn't get pierced ears because it punches holes in them and is barbaric.

    • Exactly three points.

      1) Most would assume that having part of your penis sliced off is painful. Wouldn't you agree?

      2) From what I gather, it DOES reduce sensitivity.

      3) Piercings aren't a barbaric practice because one gives informed consent to have the procedure done. Infant circumcision is carried out against one's will, and is therefore immoral.

      THINK, will you.....
