Religious mutilation: Not even once.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I had medical mutilation. I lost a lot of sensitivity down there. But it allows it to work and wife has been supportive in a country where it's a rare thing.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't think anyone is arguing against it being done for medical reasons and especially on someone willing.

Yep. If an adult wants to do it, then it's nobody else's business. But parents shouldn't be allowed to make a decision like that. An infant can't be religious.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Neither of my parents are or were religious, yet I have a scar there (not hyperbole, actually hurts if touched too much). I don't know if foreskin is useful for anything in GRS, but if it is I'm gonna be pissed I don't have any.

I'm sorry parents and doctors are legally allowed to mutilate an infants sex organs. It's honestly fucking disgusting, and tragic that you are one of the many victims.

In a couple decades circumcision will likely be looked back on as one of the many barbaric practices that was common in the past, and I can't wait for that day.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 10 months ago

In the US? The same country that just overturned Roe v Wade? Yeah, somehow I have my doubts they will rid themselves of the archaic genital mutilation. I would like to believe people in 2024 are also smart enough not to crop a dog'a ears or dock its tail or hell, breed the abominations like pugs and french bulldogs. But that is not the world we live in. The world we do live in is filled to the brim with idiots.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I realize that having it done as a newborn I'll never really know, but mutilated? As an adult iv seen and played with those flesh danglers. Listen we are all humans and beautiful, but fucking hell I'm happy with mine. They are like one of those weird deep sea critters you see on nat geo or sciencememes.

True, if I ever have a baby I'll make the argument to the mom we SHOULD give the kid the choice... but I know that as a poor adult I would never do it now. But am happy it's been done.

I hate to sound like a "Liberal" talking about Palestine, but this may be a somewhat nuanced situation.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago (4 children)

The definition of mutilate is "inflict a violent and disfiguring injury on."

Circumcision being the forced removal of the most sensitive part of the males genitals, that literally disfigures it, I feel like saying it's mutilation is just the correct use of the word.

I'm curious, why are you "happy it's been done"?

I live in a country where we don't perform this procedure out of tradition/religion, or at least not in the majority. I'm only aware of it being done for specific medical pathologies such as phimosis.

Because I kind of agree with the sentiment that performing unwarranted surgeries on someone that is unable to voice his (non-)consent is an ethical problem. Even more so with excisions, which always are drastically and usually irrevocably diminishing the body.

As someone who is circumcised and chose not to circumcise their son, I'm seeing that circumcision has a lot of benefits. My son's foreskin has always been too tight and won't still fully retract at 7 years old. We have to put cream on it every night. It needs a lot more thorough washing every day or else it gets discharge all over it. The care and maintenance on an uncircumcised penis is like 1000x that of a circumcised one. I never knew any difference, so I'm not sure what the downsides of having a circumcised one is.

My mother scandalized the Navy nurses by refusing to allow me out of her sight for any reason including a circumcision. She said there was no need,.as she loved every part.if me, and wasn't going to be staying in the hospital one second longer than necessary. The doctor had to shoo the nurse out of the room while she was objecting that was not standard procedure.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago

Bless your mother

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago (2 children)

promise you'll stop getting a circumcision? What? like it's an ongoing decision like smoking cigarettes?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

People on Lemmy don't get jokes

You don't snip a bit after every celebration?

When the Chiefs won the Superbowl, I got a lil circumcision to celebrate.

It is a trope that this how a partner responds to seeing self harm scars. But this isn't a self harm scar it's a circumcision scar.

When is the body positivity movement going to acknowledge that men who have been circumcised are not broken? So much toxicity around this online. Every time this comes up, it's just a bunch of people shaming guys who have been circumcised.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 10 months ago (2 children)

We arent shaming the guys but the parents. Being circuncised is not a condition that just happened. Its shitty parents mutilating their babies because they think it looks better.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

I strongly disagree. I did a not have shitty parents; they are wonderful.

It was misinformation at the time. I HIGHLY DOUBT they were standing there looking at me thinking “his dick will look better without that extra piece of skin when he’s older”.

Everyone has done something wrong due to misinformation with long lasting repercussions.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It is, people can get circumcised for health issues

I don't hate my doctor or my parents for doing what they thought was a good idea at the time.

I'm fine and I love both my parents just the same. Hopefully you can find peace as well.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (9 children)

Actually when you are circumcised you can feel that you are going to come, I mean I know for sure because I am. But it's still a lot of fun xD (the meme is still fun)

edit: I'm not understanding why this comment was downvoted. it's just said something that to me is so, is it wrong? maybe I'm being punished for know-it-all? you don't like the idea of being circumcised? i was circumcised when i was 2 years old and because otherwise i couldn't pee

I got a lot of shit for a very trivial comment, but what the fuck... what's wrong with you guys?

[–] [email protected] 184 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I am pretty sure you can feel when you are about to cum regardless of circumcision status. That's just how dicks Work. Ya know

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Same reason you can feel when you need to pee. It's not the dick itself that actually controls the fluids.

Fun fact, you can feel it when you're uncut too. At least, my spouse has never not been able to warn me over 14 years together, so, that doesn't seem like a good reason to mutilate kids' dicks.

It's actually the other way around, the orgasm-sensor is actually located in the foreskin
