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

These things are very controversial when it comes to women, but apparently most think it’s ok when it’s about men.

Do you blame your parents? Why did they do it? Scared of HIV? Not wanting to explain their son how to clean underneath the foreskin?

ExtraMedicated,

I feel much better about it than I would’ve if I needed to have it done for medical reasons as an adult like my grandfather did.

Not good. Restoring is such a slow frustrating process

Ah yes, more antisemitism. Hittin on all cylinders I see you Nazi fucks. I feel excellent about it, not only does my cock not look like a sad elephant, but it's more hygienic than leaving unnecessary skin over the tip of my dick. Thanks for asking.

Take it easy. I had not made the connection yet, being raised as an atheist European. I knew one guy in high school who was circumcised and he was the weird one in the showers. I was thinking about Americans.

In America, circumcision is common whether you’re Jewish or not. This isn’t necessarily a religious question. Avoid jumping to conclusions, especially when it involves implying that someone is a bigot.

Antisemitism is heinous, which means it’s also a very serious charge to make. Throwing the word “antisemitism” around based on such weak evidence only dilutes it.

Krakakaaa,

I see why he thinks of antisemitism, but I was just thinking of the circumcision without any real reasons, other than ‘that’s just what we do’.

I think for many, ‘that’s just what we do’ is all the thought that goes into it.

An estimated 58.3% of male newborns and 80.5% of males aged 14-59 years in the United States are circumcised source

Circumcision is common in the US and usually has nothing to do with Judaism. Male genital mutilation without consent is terrible, even when one's imaginary friend condones it.

not only does my cock not look like a sad elephant

Fuck you for body shaming people who didn't have it done.

BURN,

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.

Wanting to be uncircumcised is like declaring your pleasure is more important than your partner’s pleasure. It’s saying you want sex to feel so good that you can’t last long enough to satisfy your partner. Anyone who bashes the practice of circumcision is misogynistic.

I know why my parents had me cut. It was because my father had been cut, and that's just what was done at the time. It's not a good enough reason for me, and if I had had sons I would not have allowed them to be cut in turn. My children are not my property.
