Circumcize or Not? - General

[QUOTE=G3rman;45452334]See, it's overreactions like this that I don't get. Don't demonize or blow the process out of proportion. Yes, there really isn't an important medical reason to circumcise, but, the foreskin of your dick shouldn't be compared to ears, noses, eyes, etc. It's not in any way essential to living, or sex.[/QUOTE] It's more like cutting off a piece of your earlobe, or your pinky toes. Or your appendix. Sure, they're useless and could potentially cause problems, but that's no reason to cut them off / out without the person's permission.

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;45452377]Still lobbing a bit off you and making your life a bit less enjoyable(reduced sexual pleasure) without your consent, and without medical reason. That shouldn't be allowed.[/QUOTE] That's a very supposed, small benefit that not anyone can really prove to be noticeable. Just like the circumcised group can't really prove the health benefits are "worth it".

Because of my circumcision I've unfortunately ripped or abrased the skin a few times I masturbated without lubrication and it fucking hurt like hell.

[QUOTE=G3rman;45452255]I don't care that I was circumcised, I honestly don't know why people make such a big deal out of it one way or another. It really doesn't affect you all that much. Benefits and consequences are pretty bare for either argument.[/QUOTE] It's not the fact that I am circumcised that makes me upset. It's the fact that my parents weren't properly educated on both sides of the argument, and I had no say in the mutilation of my own body.

I don't even understand how this is a serious question.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;45452099]I'll never understand the US's obsession with circumcision[/QUOTE] During the late 1800's/early 1900's it was said to be a cure to masturbation, as in to prevent your son from Masturbating in the future. So then those kids thought their kids should look them, and it's stuck ever since. I saw that in a Collegehumor video once, it was actually pretty informative.

I'm circumcised, I don't know why, and I'm never going to ask my parents why they made that decision... Honestly, I don't care that I am, it doesn't cause me any noticeable issues. In my opinion, you should not have him circumcised.

[QUOTE=J!NX;45452144]Let him decide when he is older, about 16 or so. [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] incorrect [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreskin_restoration[/url] of course walking around with stuff around your dick shouldn't be required, it should be the other way around..[/QUOTE] this isn't the same as foreskin. foreskin contains a ton of nerve endings. this is just stretching skin that doesn't even act the same way

[QUOTE=.Lain;45452613]this isn't the same as foreskin. foreskin contains a ton of nerve endings. this is just stretching skin that doesn't even act the same way[/QUOTE] of course, it's better to have not cut it off but once its off, there is no other way

until surgical methods advance, regenerating foreskin is often not worth it. let your child decide when they get older (if they even consider it). deciding for someone who cannot legally give consent is IMO not morally OK.

Ugh, seeing circumcision threads put me down. I just can't help but to think of how much better my sex-life could've been. Atleast I didn't lose it at 13 like many cultures mandate.

So what made your wife change her decision?

today facepunch saved a baby's foreskin

I grew up with Phimosis, my brother was circumcized because he had it, basically our parents tested to see who would be happier out of both of us. My brother got with nearly every girl he ever sort out to get. I turned gay. IF YOU DONT CIRCUMCIZE YOUR BABY, HE WILL TURN GAY. TRUST ME. IM A DOCTOR.

I'm more of a foreskin man myself.

As a victim i can tell you every time i see that line on my dick i feel like my rights have been violated

Uncut here, I don't think it's worth doing circumcision to your child until he's old enough to decide imo.

Circumcision for any reason other then a medical emergency is the stupidest fucking thing ever. [I]Hey look a perfectly healthy baby.[/I] [B]Lets cut off his dick tip.[/B] You did the right thing stopping it.

I was circumcised when I was a baby. I've always thought it was the normal thing to do and have never really felt any emotion regarding it.

I'm going to chime in with my view that women shouldn't be able to decide anything about a man's sexual organs, the same way a dude shouldn't be aloud to decide anything about a woman's

At least the boy is saved

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;45452099]I'll never understand the US's obsession with circumcision[/QUOTE] It was viewed as a way to fight masturbation. Puritanical conservatives are dicks.

Archive this thread so he can thank us later.

Look up on the internet pics. and you choose what looks better. its all 100% looks really.

Don't. Makes it harder to masturbate. :eng101:

Indeed he is saved. She just could not decide and finally left it up to me. I really appreciate all the comments and I think it helped her to see how much it meant to me and others.
