For biolgicial males, circumcision?

I would only advocate it if there was severe infection(which is rare). My stupid doctor recommended that I get circumcised at age 6 because I had some skin adhesions. I was just old enough to understand what was going on but not the full consequences. I was brought up to trust doctors and of course you trust your parents. There was painful urination for 2 weeks and plenty of pain. Very socially awkward too. It is mutilation to me and only should be done when absolutely medically necessary. I realize I am in the minority in the Christian community but whatever.

 

I still don't recommend it unless medically necessary.

 

I got circumcised (I didn't really have a choice in the matter considering I couldn't even tell what was going on) but I don't recommend it. It gets annoying and while it hasn't had any direct effects on masturbation, you don't have anything covering it regularly without the foreskin.

 

I don't think there is any reason to circumcise anyone unless it is medically necessary. I know there will always be a debate over what's better but as far as I understand it removes sexual pleasure and isn't really natural. The foreskin keeps the penis moist which it was obviously intended to be.

 

No, because it doesn't really serve a purpose and it can have side-effects. On top of it, if it's botched, what are you gonna do? No genitals?

Doing this at an age at which the kid can't consent is also wrong in itself.

 

also consider that uncircumcised skin works well to protect what's underneath

 

Only in case of a genuine medical emergency. Which does not include ease of cleaning or looking like his peers/dad.
There is no inherent necessity to circumcise boys and plenty of risks, plus the fact that it's involuntary.

This is false.

It's not about problems with pleasure, it's about less sensation due to decreased number of nerves, which you don't realise because it happened before you were sexually mature/active.

Citations? Because that's a nonsensical blanket statement.

There's also no causal link between lack of foreskin and lack of STDs.
All it does, is make it easier to clean, you can still get infected and if you regularly clean and practice safe sex, you have no higher risk of diseases of infections than circumcised people.

 

A better method of preventing disease is wearing a condom.

Circumcision rates are low in Europe, and yet from what I hear they have a lower STD rate.

 

well in Indonesia majority of boys got circumcised around the age of 8 to 13.
So its very common for us here to remember the experience because we already at the school age by then. And they did that with only parental consent and without the child's assent most of the time.

i remembered that during mine the anesthesia effect start to fade during in the middle of process. I felt like super weird sensation before the pain kicks in.

Personally i'm against circumcision unless its medically necessary like adhesion, infections, phimosis or paraphimosis. I regret that i forced to get circumcised because i realize that i lost quite a lot of sensation down there.:icon_sad::icon_sad:

 

I completely agree that getting it done reduces infections. A neighbour of mine, her 4 year old constantly has staph infections because he doesn't know how to wash properly. From an aesthetic standpoint, it looks nicer without all the skin.

 

In the Philippines, circumcision is "required" to all pre teen boys. THEY said it symbolizes the transition between being boy to man. But our science teachers taught us that boys get circumcision for hygienic purposes.

 

I obviously have no experience with this, but here is my opinion.
If boys were born with a foreskin, there is no logical reason to hack it off. Also, I think it's unfair to do this to a baby since they can't give consent to a permanent, lifelong condition. It would be better to let them make the choice for themselves once they become older. Of course, I doubt that at that age very few people would willingly have a circumcision.

 

i heard that if you clean your junk, then you should be ok. as far as stds i think some rates are higher for those that have foreskin, not sure why. maybe some disease juices get trapped in there. idk.

 

What a good insight you have.
i must say that i'm agreed 100% with your post.

id i'd given another chance i really wanted to kept mine
