A BOY on the verge of his bar mitzvah was told he was not properly circumcised and therefore was not Jewish.

Orthodox rabbis in Sydney said he had to be recircumcised within four days or the ceremony - which marks the transition of Jewish boys to adulthood at 13 - could not go ahead.

I find the ancient and barbaric ritual of mutilating the genitals of a baby disgusting, offensive and primitive. Imagine being 13 and having to endure this. Crikey!

I never knew you had to receive penile inspections from the old guys either. This is disgusting.
Rabbi Gutnick said they noticed the incomplete circumcision as they prepared to take a drop of blood from the boy's penis to symbolise his Orthodox conversion.
Isn't God and his creations supposed to perfect? Why are they cutting bits off?

Crazy religious nutcases frustrating me yet again.
 
If they want to hack off their body parts as part of a cult, then let them, I say.
 
I think it's wrong.

The parents just do not have a right to decide if little timmy has a foreskin or not. Sex is worse without it, there's no evidence to suggest it's more healthy if you clean your pen0r properlly anyway.
I was circumsised as a child becuase my foreskin wasn't growing at the rate of my pen0r making it hurt - alot. (ewww probably to much information). I don't particually mind, it had to go.

There's an interesting penn and teller episode on circumsition, you can find it on google videos. There are are circumsised support groups and everything, some guy even regrew his own foreskin. It seems that some people can grow up after being circumsised and feel very sad about it.

No-body has a might to mutilate they're children for religious reasons. Religion is bullshit, and parents do not own their children.
 
Circumcision is popular over here, but its more because of a myth than religion. Usually done at the age of 11 ~ 16.

Now, as for the first post, D: D: D:
 
Apperntly most people in the USA are circumsised, in the UK very few are.

Lol? Worse without it? How do you know you could compare?

Anyways, i agree this ritual should be banned. Simple reason that i dont mind ppl mutilating themselves, if its THEIR choice. A baby has no choice.
Btw, this thing is a big discussion in Holland atm, groups of Muslims are also doing it to their kids, and in NL ppl are trying to ban it.
Funny part is, they wouldnt even let a regular doctor do it -> needs to be some special priest or something => now thats nasty :p
 
I'm not seeing the big problem here. At least the kid now has a chance to choose whether he wants it or not for his religion, rather than automatically having it done shortly after childbirth.

Where are you getting your facts? Your ass?


I hate to be graphic in my description... but when I masturbate I experience an explosion of pleasure, that at times, can be almost debilitating for a short period. I don't see how you can compare circumcision to non circumcision... because humans don't experience sex equally at all, even if both people were circumcised or uncirmcised. There could be a wide difference of pleasure threshhold.
 
No, common sense. The foreskin is very sensitive. Guess what happens if you remove it?

My penis is still very sensitive during sex and as I mentioned above, I experience a great deal of pleasure. Also as I said, people experience sexual pleasure differently. Some people with uncircumcised penises are unhappy with their sexual experience, some circumcised men are unhappy with their sexual experience. After getting the procedure done, it has been the same in the sense that after being circumcised some men have enjoyed their sexual experience better.

Denniston states that the foreskin's innervation provides input to the central and autonomic nervous system to provide erectile function, stimulate ejaculation, and provide pleasure.[22] Fink's study reported less sensitivity after circumcision, though this only bordered on statistical significance *(p = 0.08).[16] In contrast, Masood et al. reported improved sensation in 38% of men following circumcision and less sensation in 18%. 61% expressed greater satisfaction following removal of the foreskin, less satisfaction in 17%, and no change in 22%.[23]


As you can see... no man is created equally, and the facts are very muddled so as not to be 100% conclusive either way.
 
I'm circumsized and I don't think it's bad at all, I don't mind in the slightest. It's not mutilation either :p it's not like the doctor carved his initials on the end of my penis, he just removed the foreskin.
 
Alot of people would be very pissed off if you banned circumcision. It'd be like banning babtism, why do Jews get it done? Because it says so right in the Old Testament. Christians should be cirumcised too but of course the Old Testament is there to be pick and choose from :rolleyes:

More study results for those who are interested... taken by various groups.

I don't find it to be mutilation either. Especially since most all women find circumcised penis to be far more visually appealing :D

Female visual arousal A study (1988) of randomly selected young mothers in Iowa, where most men are circumcised, found that 76% found the circumcised penis more visually arousing.[25] Although 88% of the women surveyed had only had experiences with circumcised penises, a majority of the 24 women with dual experience also found the circumcised penis more visually arousing.



And yes i'm just quoting from wikipedia. <shrugs>

You don't...

''Rabbi Gutnick said they noticed the incomplete circumcision as they prepared to take a drop of blood from the boy's penis to symbolise his Orthodox conversion.''

I have no idea what that is talking about whatsoever :|
 
I'm just going off what uncircumsised people have told me. If you're uncircumsised your bell-end is very sensitive, after circumsision, it loses that senstivity becuase its always in contact with things.

I'm circumsised and I don't have a problem with it, it had to happen. But some people might see it as mutilation, a persons bodie belongs to them and a parent has no right to deny them a foreskin.

Ofcourse uncircumsised ppl would say that its worse :p
I had the same problem as you and am in the same position (for medical reasons :p).
If one thing woman rather enjoy the unsensativeness, cause you can "go on" for a much longer time:p -> Sex is much better :angel:

Anyways, ontopic ;) , i think it should be banned, unless the person agree's to it later on in life, or for medical reasons.
We're not in feudal times where Priests can go sacrificing goats and mutilating kids for whatever reasons.
 
I dunno. I think I'd much prefer a more sensitive penis.

It's the parents that ultimately decide it, not the priests.

Now where do you think the parents get the idea from?? :stare:

Only 60 years ago in Holland, priests would regularly visit just-married couples every year, checking up on if they produced enough babies... Priests have big influence ya know ;)

Anyways, whoevers choice it is -> it should be a person's (kid) own choice whether or not to mutilate his body for his religion, not somebody else.
 
One should never mutilate a part of one's own body, for it is given to them by one's parents, and it shalt be impiety to do so.


And thats my excuse.
 
Meh. I don't have to clean it, it doesn't get infected, and it's at less risk of contracting AIDS. So what if sex feels a wee bit worse? :p
 
Sorry, I really should of said 'family'... since all I was trying to point out was that the priests can't force it to be done.

There are already studies out there that show that sex is less satisfying for some, and more satisfying for others. Alot of the studies sort of oppose each other, thus proving that each human being is quite different in the pleasure they experience, as i've stated earlier.
 
[Scrubs rip off]*New born Jewish baby* "You wanna do what now? I just got this thing!" [/Scrubs rip off]
 
I love scrubs.

I was thinking of getting circumsized, just to see what it felt like before and after. Does it cost anything to do, or can you get it done under the NHS?
 
I'm sure the underfunded and overstretched NHS that can't even afford to fund treatments for some debilitating illnesses would just LOVE to shell out hundreds of pounds to indulge your curiosity...

It's more painful than you imagine.
 
Whats the point of this? I personally, would kill anyone who wants to cut my willy off. This just proves that religion is just bullshit.

Just because your willy isnt circumsized doesnt mean your not a Jew.
 
Yes it does.
It also means you're a shit christian too.
 
Lol? Worse without it? How do you know you could compare?

? it's no different than what jews do ..it's not a doctor, it's a moyil/rabbi that performs the ritual
 
Yes it does.
It also means you're a shit christian too.

It's hilarious when people say things like this.




But why only focus on Christians and Jews anyways? Muslims get circumcised as well.

In fact, Judaism and Islam are the only two religions of the three where it is required. It is not required in christianity.
