Petition going on in San Francisco to ban male circumcision - Polidicks

[quote]Yeah I said in my first post that "the skin in thicker so I'm guessing it's not as sensitive as uncut" but it's nowhere as bad as people are saying. So eagerly too. Which brings my "you are/yours is better than they are/theirs" point.[/QUOTE] I was stating that those who have not been circumcised probably think the sensitivity loss is greater than it may be not because they're jelly or mad, but because they personally have no experience (not having their foreskin removed and all) of it and they can only really take the word of physicians. [editline]29th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Silly Sil;29504556]I can't see any disadvantages other than the pain and loosing little sensitivity. And I already said, the pain isn't work the outcome. Plus I think it shouldn't be done to babies. But then again, I wouldn't say we're disadvantaged either.[/QUOTE] It's entirely likely that I'm totally wrong in my suggestions that there are more advantages to having an intact foreskin because I'm not anything approaching an expert in this area. However unless there are significant advantages to removing it, or significant disadvantages to keeping it intact, it should be a matter of personal choice rather than something someone else can decide for you, which we both agree on.

[QUOTE=thisispain;29505020]eww[/QUOTE] yeah exactly. Probably why I don't wanna find out why :v:\ And its not disturbing things, I actually throw thing of irrelevance or never want to remember in there.

I think it's better if they don't do it until after the age of 18, because then at least it will be a choice for them.

It's hilarious how many posts this thread has in under a day. Neither side is going to convert the other and it's pointless to do so. The difference between cut and uncut is negligible, and I'm guessing the arguing is fueled by various user's insecurities. It isn't a big deal either way.

I don't see the appeal of cutting off part of a perfectly natural, functional penis. [QUOTE=Parakon;29505577]It's hilarious how many posts this thread has in under a day.

Okay everyone saying anything about "dick cheese" that's called smegma. It grows on male and female parts. It's supposed to be there "In males, smegma helps keep the glans moist and facilitates [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_intercourse"]sexual intercourse[/URL] by acting as a lubricant" To sum up what most people are saying in this thread, nobody gives a shit if you get circumcised as long as you decide to do it to yourself. Also this thread got so many posts so fast I have a feeling nobody on either side will ever change their opinions.

[QUOTE=ksenior;29484419]Circumcision shouldn't be done till the person is capable of making their own decision[/QUOTE] This guy has said everything, I live in a country where majority of the people are cut, Aparently the doctor dont like to cut off my skin so I waited till I was 11 where I made my decision, most of my friends are cut and some are not. ( its kind embarassing to tell you are not cut so I kept lying to my friends that I was cut)

ITT: Original post is about banning cutting of dicks without the dick's owner's consent, currently the thread is about cut vs uncut. Way to derail.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;29508174]ITT: Original post is about banning cutting of dicks without the dick's owner's consent, currently the thread is about cut vs uncut. Way to derail.[/QUOTE] We ALL knew it was going to happen! Whenever we talk about dicks, derailment.

I don't have to worry; I don't have a penis. :v: But I really don't think they should [i]ban[/i] circumcision. To me, it would be the same as banning cosmetic surgery. But that's coming from someone who's never had a dick.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;29508788]They're banning it for under 18s. Why would an under 18 need cosmetic surgery?[/QUOTE] Ah. I didn't read correctly.

[QUOTE=-GTFMiika-;29508914]Ah. I didn't read correctly.[/QUOTE] Most people in this thread didn't.

ATTN: Anyone who thinks this would also ban any sort of medical purposes of circumcision, if something did happen prior to 18. This is just a petition, and such a clause would likely exist. As well, whether or not the child is traumatized, feels the pain, or is affected by the lack of foreskin, the fact that parents are able to physically modify their child in such a way at such an age is ridiculous.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;29504235]Holy crap I agree with you. I'm marking this down in a calender.[/QUOTE] What I don't understand is why female circumcision is very often called genital mutilation and is highly stigmatized, and male circumcision is not.

Did anyone know you can uncirumsize yourself by surgery or using tools to stretch the skin? Embarrassing with a contraption around your schlong but it works.

Why in the world would this pass.
