It likely developed from a consensual rite of passage, but by the time we have any written indication of the practice in jewish culture it had already been mythologized. The purpose, however, remained clear; it was an announcement that the boy belonged to the tribe, and that any boy who was not circumcised, did not - he would be "cut off from his people".

There's a funny story in the Bible about Paul & Timothy. Paul circumcised Tim and, as per the ritual, had to suck the bleeding blood. Paul didn't like that so he made the rule that Gentiles don't have to get circumcised to become Christians. The main reason for Tim's circumcision was that it was the custom for Jews to whip out their penises when meeting other Jews to show that they were members of the clique. So Tim had to get circumcised in order to be accepted as a member when he went on his missionary trips.

Never bothered me any.

How would you know? Hate to be the one to break this to you, but it did..and not just a little, alot. May as well have chopped off all the fingers on your hands and said "haven't noticed a difference". Well...ofc you haven't, because you;re missing the very bits that would have helped you notice that difference. That's -why- weird ass loons thought it would stop the youngins from pulling their meat.

Just another thing to thank your parents for. Wink

I think it would bother me more to have less fingers...

I bet, but that's the nature of indoctrination, not of fact. You (we) have been taught to conceptualize it as normal, and no big deal...but I picked that comparison for a very specific reason.

It shouldn't cause much problem down the line, if done by a doctor, to have the labia or clitoris removed either. One wonders, though, why anyone normalizes either practice.

In any case, sure, petting a cat always feels like petting a cat...but petting a cat with four fingers isn't -quite- the same as petting a cat with five fingers. You (and anyone inclined to do so) can negotiate with yourself on this point all you like, but some of us have no need of negotiation. Sex, for me, isn't -quite- the same as sex..for you. I consider my experience the biological baseline, for obvious reasons. Sure, you have other nerves. I have those too....but also.... Wink

The biblical Abraham was one crazy asshole.

There are methods to restore the foreskin, some of which don't require surgery.

I'll bet that the 200 guys who had their foreskins cut off by that pervert David would have been glad to have them restored, with or without surgery.

I am glad that I was circumcised.

No need to restore anything.
