I do resent that I was circumcised as a baby in the US. There's almost certainly a loss of sensitivity, and there is a loss of the natural gliding action of the skin during sex, which reduces friction and can prevent irritation in the woman. It also reduces the need for lubricants (ever wonder why those are so popular in the US but not Europe)? | | | | | Tom 73 and custodian, I groaned at both of you not because of your opinions, what you are totally right to have but because of the no respect and the rudeness you showed about other people's believes.

Once the doctor did circumcision on a guy, and then asked him to wear skirt (of cource for a few days), and he shouted: god damn, did you cut it all?! |

Circumcision has been around for thousands of years, it affects no one and harms no one.
It just is as it is. Every parent has a free choice whether to do it or not , as does every adult who has not been circumcised. There are far worse choices in life to be made. If you feel as a parent it shoould not be done , then dont do it. If you feel its what you want for your child, then just do it. Those of you who find it abhorrent, thats ok, its your choice, but please lets not get fanatical about it.  | | | | | To me the only fanaticism is cutting pieces off your children because your imaginary friend told you to.

Well, I've heard guys complain about them and in some cases the doctor seems to have done it with a hacksaw, with pretty nasty scarring... So I still reckon it should only be done if there is a pressing medical issue.

I think it is like everything else, you have to do your research to find a good doctor to do the procedure.

OK, but that's not why and that's not what religion is anyway. For many, religion is tradition - a link to the past and to each other and circumcision can make that tangible.

| | Circumcision: right or wrong?
Just look at the plus and negative aspects a bit more.
Plus: it stops alot of risk of infection.
When done as a baby it doesn't bother you much because you can't walk anyway to feel the pain after surgery.
Many men when older find it tears during sex or masterbation at some point which I'm sure could be very embarressing, and results in circumsition anyway.
Negatives: reducing sensation and causing more friction during sex. Well friction has lube to fix the problem which can also add to the fun anyway. And loss of sensation can mean you last longer during sex which to many an unsatisfied woman could be a dream come true lol.
I would personaly only do it if medicaly needed but I see no wrong in people doing it for tradition or religion as the negatives are not too negative in my opinion.
FGM on the hand is a totaly different subject in my eyes

| | Re: Circumcision: right or wrong?
When I found out I was going to have a baby boy, my husband and I discussed circumcision. I thought we should do it but my husband was totally against it. After much thought and deliberation, I decided not to as well.
When my baby was born, I was really happy with the decision we had made.. I couldn't imagine putting the poor little fella through such pain.
I do however feel that circumcision is neither right nor wrong and would not judge anyone who did decide to do it.

I just believe in not experiencing unnecessary pain and not putting my kids through unnecessary pain too. At some point if it's needed for medical reasons then okay, but if not don't fix what's not broke.  And if a guy is circumcised then that can be worked around as far a sex is concerned, it doesn't have to make a difference in that department.

| | Re: Circumcision: right or wrong?
Has anyone ever asked the ladies what THEY prefer?
My gf tells me that she prefers a cut d*ck.
I am circumsised and it has never been a problem, actually I never thought about it until this thread kept popping up.
I am sure that 80% of circ. men have never had any problems, physically or emotionally, and that their ladies haven't.
By the way I feel very clean and I would absolutely refuse to have a foreskin if you wanted to give me one.

Not having a foreskin is against the natural order, no matter how your lady feels about it. Was your girlfriend consulted at the time, did you have her thoughts in mind when you were cut, did she have yours ? No.
Maybe , God forbid, if she has a mastectomy, you can tell her you like girls with one breast...

I asked my husband about his circoncision. First of all, I don't agree with the time he had it, he wasn't a baby nor a toddler anymore and I believe this procedure should be done at the birth not later in life (except for medical reason obviously)
He is happy with the result, he would never want to have his little skin back and it certainly didn't affected him in any way. No anger against his parents, no nightmares about his loss... And on the sexual side, believe me, it is all good! Same for my brother and all guys I know who had it done.

We born with our wisdom teeth but still, when they go out we take them out. It is sooo against nature! We have sex and use a condom, it is so against the nature. We get tattoos, we didn't born with it so it is against nature. Do you see any sense in this? No, me either!

I don't think it's particularly the case that it's against nature. It's that it's without the consent of the child.
Wisdom teeth extraction is generally done to remove pain and is normally only done in adulthood. Condom use is not a modification to the body. No one tattoos kids, do they?
I haven't seen a decent argument for child circumcision vs adult consensual circumcision.

UTH....seriously? The mutilation that is circumcision? There is no solid evidence that circumcision does any harm at all, never mind any more harm than good. If it's for religion purposes, and based on its scientifically accepted neutrality, the connection to the family and a wider community is of overriding importance. I believe therefore, in most cases of circumcision, the child's trust has been rightly rewarded. Circumcision is clearly a right of passage and clearly in the child's best cultural interests.

not sure if this was stated earlier but back in the US they used to automatically circumsize for ages...recently, 3-5 years ago or so studies have conculded that there is not evidence that circumsision has any health benefits and is as far as I know no longer done by default.
