Yet you'll happily visit it upon a newborn baby?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I imagine you feel soft and squidgy. I actually imagine that quite a lot.

Oh yes, sure. And if I was a child-rape victim, I'd want my parents to "get it done" at the same early age - for the same exact reasons... 
Hey, if you can't torture your kids, when they're completely defenseless - when can you, eh?...

Here's a hypothetical question for yall:
If you were were having a baby boy tomorrow, would you opt for him to be circumcised?
Why or why not?
Thanks!
I would not opt for circumcision, his father would have. Fortunately, we had a girl.

Except it does a lot of the time.
What does it do? Female circumcision removes more than the skin. Do males who've been circumcised report loss of sensation? inability to function? painful urination? pain of any kind when they are adults?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Yes - there is loss of sensation. That's the main reason, why "modern" male circumcision is performed - and most likely why it was done in ye olden times. The head of the penis, without the protection of the foreskin becomes much less sensitive, due to years of contact with environment and lack of lubrication. That in turn is supposed to discourage masturbation and diminish sexual pleasure, which suited the puritan morality of both ancient Jews and prohibition-era Americans. And no - it doesn't work, circumcised boys still whack off, only they have to do it much harder.

I actually didn't know about this, informative posts.
It just makes my stance against it even stronger. I was already totally against female mutilation in any circumstance because it represents female sexual repression, but I didn't know that aspect was present for males too.
There's a lot of pretexts for it, typically I hear "it's hygeine" which is crap.

I wonder if these same people supporting circumcision in babies would be supporting castration in babies as well. I mean I can't imagine castration is a pleasant experience. So it'd be better to have it done as a baby. Imagine a man saying that he was glad that his parents decided to have him castrated as a child. I mean there are health benefits. Men who've been castrated tend to live longer lives. Surely this is a decision to be left to the parents, is it not? You'd be okay with them making this decision right?

Yes, and also female circumcision is often just the labia which is pretty much exactly the same as male circumcision.
