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

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;29652325]Bad analogy since arms and legs are actually useful and your foreskin isn't[/QUOTE] Foreskin lubricates and protects the glans. If it had no use it wouldn't be there.

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;29652997] Give him a good tan and male enhancement pills too.[/QUOTE] Jersey Shore: Baby edition

[QUOTE=johan_sm;29653389]Jersey Shore: Baby edition[/QUOTE] So Mickey was all like "goo goo gaa gaa" and Snooki was like "gaaa? goo goo gaa". They had great makeup sex though.

It's there for a reason.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;29653088]Foreskin lubricates and protects the glans. If it had no use it wouldn't be there.[/QUOTE] But a circumcised dick functions just perfectly fine without those. They're not needed, but they have a use. [editline]6th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=erazor;29659881]It's there for a reason.[/QUOTE] ^

Why can't it just be a decision to make later on?

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;29664367]Why can't it just be a decision to make later on? Or is it better to do right after birth or so, if at all?[/QUOTE] If you do it after birth, it's 2 weeks of having a bandaged dick in stitches, with the dire fear of getting a boner or having to go pee, or moving in any sort of even slightly tight pants. I had it done at 6, and it was bad. A friend did at 18 and it was terrible apparently. The pain isn't remembered at birth at all, it's just really, really hard to watch. Contrary to what people say in this thread, there are medical reasons to get it removed and it's not an essential body part, and the circumcised dicks are by no means "disadvantaged" or "mutilated".

[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;29652604]This is retarded. Talk about forcing your beliefs on others. If people want to get circumcised, or circumcise their children, fucking let them you nutjobs. I, personally, would rather be circumcised than uncircumcised. Uncut dicks look like fucking sand worms and I don't particularly want to think of Dune when I see my dick.[/QUOTE] Circumcision is retarded. Talk about forcing your beliefs on others. If children are getting chopped up by their parents we should stop them, you nutjob. I, personally, would rather not allow a practice that has way more disadvantages, both moral and medical, than advantages.

I'm just saying that morally and medically it's out of date; can you think of any other situation where it's smart or legal to inflict unnecessary pain on a child?

These threads always turn into arguments over whose dick is superior, who gives a shit?

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;29668721]Apart from severe medical conditions which necessitate the removal of the foreskin, what other actual medical reasons or benefits are there.[/QUOTE] Those STD studies aren't meaningless at all, they've been posted through-out this thread as a plus side of circumcision and are from decent sources and are good studies. I had mine removed from a cyst that was growing on it when I was a kid, I don't know much more than that but there are reasons.

[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;29652604]This is retarded. [b]Talk about forcing your beliefs on others.[/b] [/QUOTE] But what if the child who gets circumcised grows up to not believe in circumcision? oops

about damn time. lets hope the next genereation of americans can actually enjoy sex and masturbation to its fullest

[QUOTE=Zeemlapje;29670618]about damn time. lets hope the next genereation of americans can actually enjoy sex and masturbation to its fullest[/QUOTE] Foreskin: The way it was meant to be used!

[QUOTE=Zeemlapje;29670618]about damn time. lets hope the next genereation of americans can actually enjoy sex and masturbation to its fullest[/QUOTE] it's really sad anyone thinks that circumcision(at least on guys) is any sort of disadvantage.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;29680630]it's really sad anyone thinks that circumcision(at least on guys) is any sort of disadvantage.[/QUOTE] It's not, but it isn't an advantage either.

Honestly, I don't think I would want to go through the immense pain of circumcision while I was older

I'm circumsized, I think my penis is pretty just the way it is. :(

[QUOTE=edja007;29680885]It's not, but it isn't an advantage either.[/QUOTE] As far as STD prevention is concerned, it, for whatever reason, is according to the various studies I posted links to earlier.

meh i'm uncut but people should have a choice on this instead of banning it

[QUOTE=deathstarboot;29688867]I'm circumsized, I think my penis is pretty just the way it is. :([/QUOTE] So do I.

[QUOTE=Mon;29689263]meh i'm uncut but people should have a choice on this instead of banning it[/QUOTE]You get a choice when you become 18. A baby can't make a decision.

[QUOTE=Mon;29689263]meh i'm uncut but people should have a choice on this instead of banning it[/QUOTE] Yes, they should have a choice, which they don't at the moment. Babies can't choose. [editline]8th May 2011[/editline] :ninja:

I'm a 17 year old boy who only opened this thread for dick jokes... is that normal?

[QUOTE=Colliseemoe;29695486]I'm a 17 year old boy who only opened this thread for dick jokes... is that normal?[/QUOTE] I bet you got disappointed, so far I haven't seen any dick jokes. Also you have mlp avatar, which means you're gay, so dick jokes is normal.

[QUOTE=Macktastic;29643343]can I have the source on that seriously[/QUOTE] late reply, but [url]http://www.articlesaboutmen.com/2010/09/the-psychological-impact-of-circumcision-911/[/url]

I was circumcised for medical reasons, not religious reasons.
