if you lost a whole inch from your circumcision, they did it wrong.

that said, when I was around 18 or so, I really had it out with my parents over circumcising me. at 47, I'm still unhappy about it.

It’s unconsentual genital mutilation of babies, a beyond cruel excercise - unless there is a clear medical reason

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago (11 children)

I don't believe there is any medically justified reason beyond what would require anything to be amputated. All of the "medical reasons" people tout are thin bullshit. Anything people have claimed could be accomplished with much less invasive procedures. I'm furious and deeply hurt my parents did this to me. The whole reason is to reduce sensation during sex because sex is a "sin". My parents had the fucking gall to tell me looking at porn will impact my relationships after doing this shit to me.

Kinda fucked up how people basically ignore the fact that we do genital mutilation in America.

Calling unnecessary circumcision of boys "genital mutilation" sounds frivolous because it makes it sound like you're placing it alongside FGM in terms of its effects and severity. But it is nevertheless genital mutilation, by just about any definition you care to put forward. The men living in the non-circumcision-crazed countries of the world aren't constantly having their blackened rotten cocks drop off from all the dick disease they're allegedly exposed to by having an intact penis, so I don't understand why you would feel the need to do this to your kid without a specific medical reason (of which there are very few that require surgical removal of the skin).

"But if you don't wash it, it gets dickcheese!" and the solution to that is slicing the fucking skin off of it? The clue is in the warning: wash it. Teach your sons to care for their wilberts. Telling them to lather up their bellend in the shower is hardly something that needs prompting anyway.

Personal/intimate hygiene should be part of regular schooling. Not even as part of sex ex, just "how to care for your vessel" kinda shit. Don't drink to excess, walk and move at least 10 minutes a day, stay away from illegal drugs, be careful with prescription drugs, and wash your bastard stinksausage.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 month ago (10 children)

It's interesting that the pro circumcision crowd who rant about hygiene don't support girls having their labia cut off to prevent grime from accumulating between the folds. Circumcision should be reserved for actual medical reasons, like phimosis, and if possible at age of consent.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (5 children)

The "hygiene" argument just shows me how backwards Americans are

Have the stupid cunts not heard of soap?

[–] HexagonSun@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

As a young child I didn’t know I had to wash between my toes, and I got athletes foot.

If only a kind doctor had cut all my toes off when I was born.

As an American who wasn't circumcised, this country is so fucking weird about it. Like I got teased for it occasionally. People talk about hygiene, but from what I hear you're unlikely to find a guy who cleans his asshole but not his foreskin. Like, do what you want with your body, get circumcised if you want, bifurcate the thing if you want, I don't even have a dick anymore, but circumcising babies is taking that freedom away from them for reasons that always sound ludicrous to me.

And for the attractiveness thing, I've had exes who think foreskin is really hot, and personally I think dicks look super weird without it.

amab genital mutilation makes bottom surgery more complicated for transfems

yes it's also immoral and shouldn't be done on infants of any gender who can't give consent (and should be illegal, as should intersex genital mutilation, aka "surgical correction")

What do you call a discount circumcision?

A ripoff.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Do you know why UK men are rarely circumcized when it's the norm in the U.S?

At some point the UK government says that circumcision wouldn't be covered by the national health insurance.

And just like that. It went out of fashion.

I'm sure the greedy U.S insurance companies would be more than happy to stop covering that service.

Fight fire with fire.

Get the insurance companies to stop covering it. And we can finally save boys from being mutilated.

Not just UK most of the world is uncircumcised, it's only a thing in Abrahamic religions and USA

Its like 10 in² removed by circumcision. Not necessarily length or girth from your dick. But 10 in² of incredibly sensitive skin on your sex organ.

Stop all infant genital mutilation.

Not just circumcision but also de-intersex-ification.

When a baby is born with both types of genitals what usually happens is that the male ones are immediately removed and the person is raised as a woman. This is unethical. The infant cannot consent to being mutilated, it is an infant. Ban this barbaric practice.

What do they want, a refund?

[–] wolfrasin@lemmy.today 71 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To stop the cultural practice of male genital mutilation and break the norms that doom their sons?

Full respect if you were speaking sarcastically

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh 100% sarcastic.

I agree genital mutilation that is not medically necessary is bad. They just could have made the point/their aim clearer.

I've never understood it, even for religious reasons. It's not medically necessary, and it weakens your sex organ's ability to do the thing it is supposed to do.

[–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

it weakens your sex organ's ability to do the thing it is supposed to do.

I thought you didn't understand?
