Uranium3006, in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

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

Pretty good. I like my dick. My wife likes my dick. I never had a complaint about my dick before I met my wife. If I’m missing anything by being circumcised I can’t imagine what it might be. I don’t really think I’d like my dick to be any more sensitive than it is. It was done to most of us in the States back in the 70s. I have a friend who had to have it done in his 30s and he said it was fucking awful. I’ll take what I have.

Exactly how I felt in my twenties. Hell, I used to wish I had an off switch for the whole damn thing.

Now in my 50s - a smidge more sensitivity would be OK. An "on" switch would be good too.

I’m over half way through my 40s, no complaints to date.

Koen967,

I never had a complaint about my dick before I met my wife.

This implies that your wife does complain about your dick 😜

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.

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

I’m delighted that it was handled when I was too young to remember. Who wants to fix it in adulthood? Not me.

So glad I don’t look like an anteater now. They did me a solid.

rah,

fix

What do you believe circumcision fixes?

morphballganon,

See my 2nd paragraph above ^

rah,

Wow.

morphballganon,

(Tell me you look like an anteater without telling me)

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.

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

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.

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

I have literally never thought about it other than when these types of discussions come up. If I hadn't been circumcised I would probably think about it the exact same amount

Krakakaaa,

What if you have kids?

Annoyed_Crabby, in Are there r/WorldNews Israel bots or am I hallucinating

I checked r/worldnews a few days ago and the comment is absolutely flooded with pro-israel and mainly support the disproportionate respond. Any anti-israel comment will either downvoted to hell or removed. I thought astro-turfing, but then i guess you don’t really need to get paid to defend something unethical.

Or maybe they’re israeli, there’s a lot of israeli enjoying the slaughter and even called it “Pallywood”, the term coined by conspiracy theorist in early 2000, arguing the Palestinian has been faking their death.

@Orbituary@lemmy.world avatar

It’s like next-level Sandy Hook denialism.

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.

Asudox, in What is your favourite floor cleaner liquid and why?
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I use a liquid that consists of atoms.

KepBen, in Are there r/WorldNews Israel bots or am I hallucinating

Seems likely. I’ve been an internet leftist for a long time now and that sub has always been disinterested in the left, but the level of outright hostility recently is extreme.

Shardikprime,

Bro what are you talking about, Reddit has always been pretty much leftist and even more so with popular subs like politics or world news.

Leftism is not counterculture/ anti system as much as people here like to think. Face it. It is mainstream and THE system.

KepBen,

OK sure if you’ve decided to define leftism as “the system” then sure, obviously. Weird decision but I’m not one to judge.

anarchost,

I want some insight into your mind and how you think leftism is mainstream. First, can you define leftism in a way that matches the dictionary, and then can you explain how it isn’t counterculture

In the context of the US, even ‘progressive’ democrats are center-right at best. Much of the trouble in America is a symptom of this problem.

Sunforged,

Liberalism is not leftist.

BellaDonna,

After seeing what the modern American leftist is, yeah, I miss the liberals.

KepBen,

What is “the modern American leftist”, specifically?

intensely_human,

progressive

KepBen,

Leftists have always been “progressive”.

intensely_human,

No, they used to be mostly liberal

KepBen,

How silly of me to forget famous leftist FDR…

Zippit, (edited ) in Are there r/WorldNews Israel bots or am I hallucinating

There are. In the first week of the attacks, the Israel Times had a blog post about Act 2 of the war. Here’s the blog post: …timesofisrael.com/our-role-in-act-2-of-the-war/

My country’s news outlet even has a section that informs us about the disinformation campaigns going on on both sides and addressing/correcting what’s probably the truth.

Edit: they’re on Lemmy too.

Maajmaaj, (edited )
@Maajmaaj@lemmy.ca avatar

I find it kinda interesting that the few places that pro-israel bots aren’t on, across the lemmy servers at least, is the leftist servers. But yeah, they are all over .world, .ee, etc.

nix,
@nix@merv.news avatar

What country/news outlet is that? This should be more common

Have you noticed specific instances on lemmy?

Zippit,

Belgium’s VRT. I’ve seen other countries’ outlets starting to do it too.

redballooon, (edited )

The link says nothing about bots.

You are making this sound more mysterious than it is.

The benign terminology in this blog article is: “act 2” is the ground offensive, the “act 1” was Hamas’ attacks on Oct 7. There’s also no mention of “act 3”.

BluesF,

Did you read the article? It’s suggesting Israeli citizens step into conversations and defend Israel. No need for bots, there are people to do it.

redballooon, (edited )

I did, and it says things, but not the things that the original commenter said, nor implied. But apparently calling out misinformation is not welcome here.

BluesF,

They didn’t say anything about bots? Not sure what you’re trying to call out.

anarchost,

I remember back when r/conspiracy blamed everything to the left of the John Birch Society on Mossad, because they liked exchanging “Jewish” with “Israeli” to look less like raging anti-semites.

But in reality… Mossad does exist. Duh. Foreign intelligence and propaganda campaigns are universal.

captainlezbian,

Yeah the thing about Mossad is that they’re on par with the CIA in ambition and skill and unfortunately they also happen to be Jewish. One side is going to look at them because CIA-like, the other is going to look at them because Jewish.

Frankly I think they’re probably trying to influence things some, but from what I hear they’re more of the assassin type. I think a lot of people have a lot of interest in the United States heavily funding Israel and ignoring Ukraine. And the people who benefit from us not throwing massive amounts of weapons at Israel tend to suck at influencing us in these ways
