My question is not religious at all...
How does circumcision affect sex? Does it make it better for everyone... worse for someone... or worse for everyone? Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
Well that comes into it certainly. To guarantee that a child's future sex life will be anything less than it could be is a travesty.

You'd have to ask someone that had the surgery as an adult. It's nothing like female circumcision though, where they remove most of the ability to feel pleasure during sex. Personally, I'm circumsized & don't have nor have I ever heard any complaints.

I really think you need to learn what gentital mutilation actually is. Circumcision isn't actually genital mutilation you know... It's just removing extra skin on the penis. So what? What if people suffer from phimosis, are you going to like them suffer through it their whole life if circumcision was banned? Quote:"I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them." 
Just tell the xtian shitheads that the muslim shitheads are opposed to this initiative and their opposition will evaporate.

No one is advocating banning circumcision when medically indicated. The statement that it's "just removing extra skin" is the same justification used for FGM. The fact is that this piece of "extra skin", as you put it, contains 90% of the nerve endings in the penis. Removing it will make sex less pleasurable, and may make it difficult to get an erection come middle-age or later. The skin on the end of the penis is a mucus membrane. It is supposed to be kept moist. A circumcised penis dries out - causing it irritation until the nerves "get used to it". This irritation would be similar to what you'd feel if your nose or mouth dried out completely. In some cases, when the circumcision is done "high and tight", it makes erections difficult and painful throughout life. In more rare instances, there are complications or accidents that happen with the circumcision. The most severe of these is death from either blood loss or infection. The next most severe complication is accidental amputation of the baby boy's penis. They can be botched in ways that it disfigures the child Regardless of the prevalence of these risks, is it wise to expose an infant to any needless risk? Is it ever right to perform cosmetic surgery on an unconsenting person? If they want to be circumcised after they are of legal age, that would be okay, so long as the person were informed of the risks and consequences. Call it what you like, but it is unnecessary cutting - mutilation - of a healthy body part. Beth

No I wouldn't let people suffer, I would agree with circumvision on medical grounds, but just for tradition is disgusting. Surely genital mutilation is a change to the sexual organ. So I think I am correct in circumcision being genital mutilation. If I'm wrong I apologise. But how you can say 'it's just extra skin' is a bit silly. I don't even want to go near female genital mutilation by muslims as is makes me feel queasy. |
