BlueSquid0741, in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

Pretty good. Glad that I don’t have a foreskin. No offence to people who do, but it freaks me out. Any time I watch porn and it features a penis that clearly shows foreskin I get weirded out and have to find another video.

(Don’t know if that’s something uncircumcised people can relate to going the other way around?)

Way back when I lost my virginity, the girl I was dating was like “oh nice, my last boyfriend wasn’t circumcised and he didn’t like to clean himself very well”. Made me feel good in that very nervous moment.

I had this done to me when I was 7 years old, due to some medical issues I’d had in my really young years of life. I didn’t think much of it then, just like being kinda excited about being a hospital patient. I was given a very generic/non-branded action figure as a surprise afterwards, which I named after the surgeon, who had been super nice to me. And I got some time off school.

Do we have to use such charged language? I was circumcised for a genuine medical procedure, nothing to do with hygiene, religion, or trends, so I’m very glad my parents had that done. Not so glad it had to happen in the first place, but very happy with the end result.

KammicRelief, in For software devs, which job to pick

For software devs, I haven’t found sector to chain you nearly as much as the stack. I’ve been in Microsoft since the beginning of my career (.NET and more recently with Angular) but I’ve switched sectors from publishing, to insurance, healthcare, supply chain, education… All of those were in .NET. It probably would’ve been harder to get a job in the same sector but a different stack (Java or whatever). So… I’m glad I didn’t start in COBOL is what I’m saying. :)

_haha_oh_wow_, in Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?

Because in the US you can usually see the person shitting through the ridiculous gaps in the stalls.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

anarchost, in Lighthearted, upbeat shows for adults?

It’s Always Sunny?

On the surface, it contains terrible people doing terrible things, but it’s both comedic and condemns those terrible things

Not good. Restoring is such a slow frustrating process

I'm very angery I was sexually assaulted. I want my body back

dan1101, (edited ) in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

Wow what a loaded question. If I had my preference I would have remained uncut but I don’t blame my parents for following social/medical standards. Being cut hasn’t been a problem.

Phanatik, in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

You've presented quite the leading question but I'll answer for myself.

I was raised Muslim (now I'm atheist) so naturally, I was circumcised. It was done because that's the rite of passage. Am I angry that it was done without my consent? Yes. Could my life have been better with a foreskin? I have no idea. How is my life now? I have many things to complain about, and none are related to my circumcision.

VegaLyrae, (edited ) in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

I guess only men can answer but fuck it.

Trans women who want to get rid of their penis get shafted (pun intended) by circumcision as it reduces the amount of material for GRS.

That plus those who want to keep it have to deal with the same impacts as other penis owners. Perhaps even more so, as lack of T and atrophy are not assisted by the loss of the protective layer.

Most people don't really have a string opinion though, since you don't often find someone who experienced a sex life with a penis in both configurations.

BURN, in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

Not a problem

Never wished I was uncut, don’t really mind either way. I’m not having kids so I won’t have to make the decision, but I’d likely have them cut too.

DarkGamer, in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?
@DarkGamer@kbin.social avatar

Very unhappy and violated. I don't have a lot of sensitivity left (except in one area they missed) because they took too much foreskin. It makes me last longer but I can't help but wonder what I'm missing.

TL;DR: Don't care

Was a baby when it was done so don't remember any of it. Been this way my whole life so have nothing to compare it to. Never bothered me, never was a topic of conversation, and nobody ever cared...probably because it is extremely common where I live.

Scrubs

New Girl

Scrubs can get pretty heavy sometimes. Surprisingly so. The organ transplant episode comes to mind.

myliltoehurts,

It’s worth listening to their podcast (fake doctors real friends). Zach and Donald rewatch it episode by episode and talk about the background of it. They also have a lot of other cast members as guests.

Lots of fun trivia in there.

Sounds like fun!

KepBen, in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

Pretty displeased but if I could change one thing about society it wouldn’t be male circumcision.
