I really wish my parents would have asked me before doing that.

I’m sorry it’s legally allowed to mutilate baby’s 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.

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.

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.

Why would it need to retract at 7 years old? It really only needs to retract once you start to have sex.
