Why is circumcision so common in America?

[CptStern]

funny how female circumcision is considered barbaric by most westerers yet male circumcision is seen as ok, desirable even. Mutilation is mutilation ..especially for religious reasons because it's certainly not for health reasons anymore. the very fact that some people still allow their religion to mutilate their children and everybody is ok with it is appalling to me

 

[Darkside55]

Ok fine, mostly the Jews.

Well, the two are very different when it comes to health and sexual consequences.

 

[CptStern]

that's because female cicumcision for the most part isnt performed in western hospitals; there's a stigma attached to it, not so with male circumcision

whether in a clinic or not, it's still mutilation

 

[Hellrider]

If I'll really really want to cut a part of my penis, I'll do it.
I don't need my parents or some religious idiots deciding it for me and doing it on me when I'm born.

 

[MiccyNarc]

I hate listening to all my friend's bullshit opinions on circumcision, because I'm uncut. He acts like he actually goes around and talks to women and they all tell him they prefer cut. That's ****ing bullshit and we both know it because there's no reason he'd ever go around just asking that shit.

Plus, that's not what a bunch of women on CL say when I'm responding to them.

Oh, and to answer the actual question of the topic: because JEWS.

I have talked to girls on the subject and the ones that say they like cut guys then go on to say that they've never actually been with someone that's uncut.

 

[Pesmerga]

It's actually entirely possible to regrow a foreskin by stretching existing skin so as to stimulate the growth of new skin cells.

But it takes months.

Also, on the appearance of uncut penises: they look exactly like circumcised penises when the foreskin is retracted, so we get the best of both worlds.

This is now a Cut Vs. Uncut battle.

 

[The Monkey]

I heard they're gonna ban circumcision here in Sweden, but don't take my word for it. Sounds like a good idea.

 

[Raziaar]

I enjoy it for the streamlined possibilities. When I strap a rocket pack onto my back while I'm naked, i want to be able to slice through the air like a hot knife through butter.

 

[eraser]

Sounds like a good idea.

I agree.

This is now a Cut Vs. Uncut battle.

Pretty pointless, to be honest. Whoever has what is stuck with it, unless people want to start complaining about their parents.

 

[lefty]

I like my penis.

 

[Emporius]

Either one good, as long as you still have it.

 

[eraser]

but I think an all-around ban is a bad idea.

Yeah, actually that's true. When I read it I was thinking solely about infants. If someone chooses to get it done later in life, they should be allowed to do so.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

In all cases for non-medical reasons, or just for infants? I think that adult men should be allowed to get a circumcision for cosmetic purposes; it's their choice. What about in the case of Jewish parents who want to circumcise their child? Personally, I disagree with circumcision for infants unless it's necessary for medical reasons, but I think an all-around ban is a bad idea.

Pfft, that's just because you like to collect all the spare foreskins and bake them into pies.

 

[French Ninja]

Something really stupid to argue over.

Honestly, it makes no difference. No need for a law ffs.

 

[Hellrider]

Then let's cut all man nipples too while we're at it.

 

[Eejit]

Only in America

 

[Ravioli]

Then we should legalize amputation clinics, were people can cut off their fingers, remove their lips, cut of their ears, cut their limbs off if so pleased. Theres even a phsycotic disease that causes the victim to want to loose a certain body part, simply because they feel uncomfortable with it. Overall, i dont think self-destruction by cutting pieces off your body should be supported by law.

 

[eraser]

cut their limbs off if so pleased.

Well, at least they want to protect other people in the case of Necromorphs taking over.

Why not, because of some misguided taboo about body modification?

If someone wants to cut off their arm, they should probably seek psychiatric help, because it would disable them permanently.

But a law banning "body mutilation" would be far too vauge, and could lead to a ban of most cosmetic surgery.

Obviously not for adults, this isn't North Korea.

 

[Qonfused]

Your ava gets me every time.

Also, pointless debate.

 

[Navaha]

You'll take my foreskin when you cut it from my corpse!!!

...Wait, I'm cut...

...Never mind.

is funny

We wouldn't even be having this discussion if it weren't for the fact that 19th century doctors thought that :
a) masturbation caused various physical and mental problems (including epilepsy, convulsions, paralysis, tuberculosis etc), and
b) circumcision stopped masturbation.

Both of those sound ridiculous today I know, but if you don't believe me, then check out this link:
A Short History of Circumcision in North America In the Physicians' Own Words

Over a hundred years later, circumcised men keep looking for new ways to defend the practice.

Fortunately, it's dying out. Drops in male circumcision:

USA: from 90% to 57%
Canada: from 47% to 14%
UK: from 35% to about 3% (less than 1% among non-Muslims)
Australia: 90% to 12.6% ("routine" circumcision has recently been *banned* in public hospitals in all states except one, so the rate will now be a lot lower)
New Zealand: 95% to below 3% (mostly Samoans and Tongans)
South America and Europe: never above 5%

 

[Phobie]

In after shitstorm.

I see this argument/debate/discussion everywhere.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Which suggests that you cause it!

 

[Phobie]

I'm circumcising every child.












With my teeth I'MSORRYOHGOD

 

[Laivasse]

UK: from 35% to about 3% (less than 1% among non-Muslims)

Reminds me of one time I was having this same convo with two other friends of mine. Two of us were musing in schoolboy style along the lines of 'why would you ever CHOOSE to do it...??' and 'It must feel so weird, I'd hate it...' etc etc. The third guy, a white, non-Jewish kid, sat there looking awkward for a few moments and said, 'Well I'm circumcised, so you can **** off!'

My other friend and I were like ":| ... BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA "

Then we beat him to the ground and stamped his face into mush, and shat on his corpse.

you're jewish right? so yes you are circumcising your children (you monster) ..it's up to you which method you use ..however pretty sure as a jew you cant use your teeth ..not sure of the father thou, although you could probably convince the mohel if you gave him enough shekles

 

[MJ12]

They are not even remotely equivalent.

If your parents decided to cut off your ears when you were a baby, would that also be alright?

I draw the line at parents rights at mutilation and abuse. Circumcision is both.

What!

THAT is not even remotely equivalent, the need for ears and the need for extra skin you have to clean on your penis IS NOT comparable.


Face it, circumsised dicks are prettier, you're jealous.

I didn't even put the text on there, it came like that, from a real science book.

there is as much need to cut off your foreskin as their is to cut off your ears ..none

Face it, circumsised dicks are prettier, you're jealous.

you know back in Quasimodo's day people wore hoods to cover their faces ...arent you glad quasimodo covered his face? .....anyways I prefer form and function over aethetics ..because after all, I am a guy



faggit




anyways lets end this discussion right here ..

But the action your parents would take in either case is exactly the same. There is no reason why parents should FORCE their sons to have their dicks sliced up. If a guy wants to do it later in life, he should be able to. Its not a deformity, or some condition that needs to be taken care of to save a life. Its simply the way all men are born. The demand for circumcision is entirely superficial.

And who the flying **** cares what you think about how an uncircumcised penis looks? Is that a good reason to force children to have their willies snipped, because it looks prettier?

And no, I'm not jealous, because like you, I had by penis mutilated as a child by my ignorant, religion-brainwashed parents.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Yeah, I bet you saved that one for your collection.

The thing is, uncircumsised penises looks JUST LIKE circumsised penises when the skin is retracted, and the penis looks even BIGGER that way because of the added thickness. During sex the skin is almost always pulled back. Summary: Foreskin=Win at fapping, and when real sex comes along, you retract that mother ****er and you win again.
