There's a joke to be made about this but I feel like I'd overstep some boundaries rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
aka non consented circumcision is a human rights violations rule
Imma point out that you don’t have a point of comparison. It doesn’t cause a complete inability to feel pleasure, but it absolutely has a significant impact on sensitivity.
I feel like in most of the many Reddit threads about this (seriously, they're obsessed with foreskins) most people who were circumcised after becoming sexually active stated that they didn't feel that much of a difference. But maybe that's just what I took out of it to comfort myself since I'm circumcised haha.
That said I do think it's dumb to routinely perform unnecessary surgery with unknown side effects. All surgery carries risks and there have been many serious complications from circumcisions, which carry no meaningful benefits in modern society.
I have heard similar, but I don’t think that’s directly comparable to having it done before becoming sexually active. Also it’s not just Reddit. I reckon a lot of people have an opinion on this one. I swear though, if one more person tries to tell me it’s “less clean” I’m going to tear their head off. I’ve known how to wash properly (uncircumcised) since I was single-digits old, bugger off!
Yeah that's kinda a dumb argument, we don't cut any other body parts off to save on washing up time.
