Circumcision - to do or not to do

[nomoreignorance Banned Find all posts View Profile Close nomoreignorance]

I can make a lot of arguments, and I usually do, but not here because this is pointless. Do what you want but leave the judgments of what other do out of the equation!

So we should ignore the tribals in Africa or Malaysia who cut the clitoris of their daughters off? We should withhold judgement? The WHO should stop trying to protect the human rights of infants worldwide? I'm sorry, that is just not possible for me.

I will never stop until males have the same protection under the law that females have in this country.

Defending the human rights of individuals is NEVER pointless. Set aside your personal apathy.

You could also make the argument that colorblind people can see and appreciate art just fine, so what's the point? Well, sure, they can still see and visually appreciate art, but because they have never seen or appreciated color they are actually very limited in their sensory capacity compared to a person with fully functioning eyes.

The same is true with the penis.

I do believe that you have been here before and under a different name. I'll go do a bit of perusing and see what I find. If you're legit than I'll argue with you; if you have been banned before then it will be my pleasure to do it again. Don't go away ; be back soon!

Was this the guy that was going to accept his banning, that he wanted and asked for, with his "head held high"? I just love a man of his word! Kids are sneaky but you must expect that when dealing with children I guess!

Lets stay on topic, which the question posed by the OP was:

We'd like to know the pros and cons especially from personal experience. How would it affect them as adult men, the possible trauma, sexual performance, etc?

I was unfortunate in my foreskin somehow got infected and had to be removed. My mom fought it doctors said try meds didn't work. Anyway got it cut still horny as hell very sensitive etc. I agree let them decide my girl loves it I like it exercises still work fine I'm good with it. I feel it's only wrong if they don't have a say in the matter. I think you are approaching the situation just right.

My wife and I are debating whether to circumcise our 2 sons or not. One is 3.5 years old and the other one is a newborn.

Don't you think it is sort of absurd to want to cut healthy functional body parts off of a child?

Thanks all for the great responses, I really appreciate them!

Firstly let my clarify, my cock is uncircumcised as you can see in my photo album, and I would not have it any other way. However my wife comes from a muslim background, although she doesn't practice it herself, there are some things that are also traditionally and tribally customary in her culture, hence the question popped up. They also do female cutting where she comes from, but thankfully her father said no to that when they tried to do it on her.

Since there seem to be no pro arguments, let me throw some up and let me hear your arguments on them.
-Cleanliness: less smelly-cheesy (I know that's a bit OTT, but you get my point), nothing gathers under the skin (sometimes when I do sports, little fluffs from my underwear get under my foreskin, etc).
-I know guys that are circumcised and they don't complain about the loss of sensitivity, some are actually horny as hell, can come multiple times during one session (which even I can't).
I understand that this site will attract people who rightly oppose this practice as it has left them scared but aren't you a minority? Sorry for playing devil's advocate but I want to approach this from all angles (even though I'm on the con side myself)

Thanks again guys.

Cleanliness is a false argument.

The foreskin has a preputial sphincter created by the sheath of dartos muscle fibers in the foreskin. The preputial sphincter keeps the foreskin closed against the outside so nothing harmful such as feces in the diaper can enter. Urine is a sterile substance that flushes out the tip of the foreskin with every urination. The force of the urine pushes the sphincter open to let the urine flow out, but the sphincter closes after urination. Furthermore, there is no preputial space in young children because the inner surface of the foreskin is fused with the glans penis, so there is no space to harbor infection.

The foreskin has special cells called Langerhans cells that protect against HIV infection in adults.

I also get little fluffs of cotton from my underwear also from time to time, but I have never found that a problem nor has it created an infection.

Meatitis, meatal ulceration, and meatal stenosis only occur in circumcised boys who have been deprived of the natural protection of their foreskin.

I think these are all good reasons to preserve the physical integrity of a boy, but there are many more reasons.
