Another Circumcision thread

[Aegon]

So you're going to tell me that there can never be complications that arise with foreskin? Phimosis isn't a thing? Paraphimosis? I'm not "assuming" there are benefits to circumcision, I know there are. I "assumed" you knew them. Are they enough to warrant the operation by themselves? Up to the parent but probably not.

What -I;m- telling you......as an uncut man.... who therefore has the choice to make...is that I choose to keep my foreskin.  That -I- think it's horrible.  I will not have it done.  That parents -do this- to their children means that I have a choice that they don't...and I'm probably not the only person who would choose to keep his pecker intact if they had the choice.  

I'd be willing to bet you would choose to keep your foreskin too, had you grown up with it.  You would think it looks good, you would think it feels good...you'd wash your dick.  You would see it's hypothetical mutilation as a clear cut example of wrong having been done to you.

You know there are benefits to a clean dick, I can't stress this enough.  Phimosis would warrant a procedure...but I don't have phimosis.  You can mitigate your risk of carpal tunnel by cutting your hand off as well......but just think, for a moment, how far you had to stretch yourself (damn I;m on fire today) to find a demonstrable "benefit"...to circumcision of an infant.

Do you honestly believe your foreskin is as important as your hands?

And, again, you don't have to stretch yourself that far to find the benefits... decreased risk of UTIs, STDs, and penile cancer, as well as (obviously) zero risk of phimosis. I admitted that the benefits probably do not warrant the surgery, but stop pretending they don't exist.

in order to justify your indifference towards a practice that's carried out as routine in hospitals and isn;t seen as anything other than horrificly painful and traumatizing in addition to being permanently damaging... by the very people who do it. They just do it because it's something we do, it's optional and we ask for it, it's legal..we'd do it in shitty conditions if they didn't....and besides, the little fucker isn't going to remember.

It's a mercy that we don't remember it, and that in and of itself ought to be able to propel you out of your indifference, even if it doesn't change your mind about it. Because it;s not as if it has to be done, or will do itself. We're doing it, to infants.

There you go, losing me again talking about how much we're "traumatizing" babies with this operation. I asked you this before: where's the psychological damage I suffered on that terrible day?
