3	The censorship regime has reached Facebook (bottom photo first) By even asking this question I can tell you aren't a male, or you are a circumcised male. It shouldn't be down-voted. It's an honest question, behind a wall of cultural bias :( On an adult the foreskin is 15 square inches. That's a 3x5 card. You can't just remove a 3x5 card worth of skin and expect there to be no difference. Nerve endings. If you like pleasure, the feelings erogenous zones give you, nipples, anus, glans of the penis, the foreskin is also an erogenous zone. It's so erogenous infa…	/r/MensRights	18/10/15 01:13 PM
1	Saw this on imgur. A man holding intactivist signs along a street. Wish I had the balls to do more than just complain on the internet. You can look at country statistics for circumcision... People who elect surgery is a pretty definitive number. Look at Denmark. Their rate is 1.5%. 75% of the population wants to ban circumcision So in Denmark, the reason they want to ban it is because its adults cutting their children, not adults electing to cut themselves.	/r/MensRights	28/09/15 01:52 PM

I did find lots and lots of people saying Duh. 1 2 How people feel is cultural. If its normal to be intact, people want to be intact. If its normal to be cut, some intact men will want to be cut.

Yes, it is simpler to do this to an infant for a variety of reasons. I would argue the ease of surgery probably shouldn't be criteria for performing it, but .. it is ... worse pain. Circumcised infants react worse to vaccinations later in life because their pain response has been altered. Babies are routinely circumcised without anesthesia. The body goes into shock, and the baby passes out. Good Psychology today article.	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 07:58 PM
2	Saw this on imgur. A man holding intactivist signs along a street. Wish I had the balls to do more than just complain on the internet. Depends on the group we select from: Those who have a problem with their foreskin. Those who are intact and want to be circumcised (cosmetic, religious, girlfriend, etc) Tho who are intact and don't want to be circumcised. So, group 1 people have a good reason. Group 2 people, their reason isn't as good, at least its their choice. The vast majority of intact males are in group 3. Of the males in group 3 they aren't jumping at the chance to have part of their penis removed to prevent HIV. The poi…	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 07:43 PM

There are like 50 arguments, physical, psychological, financial, medical, ethical, etc. I think the ethical argument is the easiest. Most of the things circumcision "solves" happen to adults. I can't think of any infants having sex and contracting HIV. Or five year olds, or ten year olds. Society does it because its always done it, its cultural inertia. I just fucking hate cut guys going "I'm OK, why is everyone else so upset". We shouldn't respect ignorance, or let ignorance decide policy. Than…	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 07:35 PM

Wish I had the balls to do more than just complain on the internet. manufacturing a sense of victimhood in people who don't feel victimised. In cutting cultures, the perpetrators of the act are all cut. The perpetrators do not feel like they are victims. They are doing their children a kindness, it is never done out of spite. Genital cutting is desirable, it confers social status. You don't feel victimized. Good for you! I do, and others like me also do.

Since circumcision isn't the same on everyone (surgery is very custom) you may not have found it, but ... there is always a scar. Surgery leaves scars. NSFW - Circumcised Penis So, in this image, there is a brown ring (where the foreskin was removed).

It's so sad to have to tell people they've been sexually diminished as children because their society is prudish. Then they fight back and tell you "IT'S OK. I LOVE IT", and then do it to their kids :/ The root cause is circumcision makes a ton of money, for the hospital, for the doctors, and for overall society. More penis pills, more porn, more lubricant, less emphasis on family, more STDs, more STD products, etc. It's a long list.

2	Saw this on imgur. A man holding intactivist signs along a street. Wish I had the balls to do more than just complain on the internet. Basically, female circumcision is done purely for the removal of pleasure [...] Despite why its done now, that doesn't change what it actually does. Circumcision was put into the bible to de-emphasize sex. Circumcision was brought to America by the Victorians to "cure" masturbation, for both boys and girls. What would you call an activity that makes pleasuring yourself, ... worse? Thank you for the rest of your feedback :)	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 01:02 PM

I'm circumcised myself. After about ... 300 hours worth of research this is what I know. Sex is different cut and uncut. There are more nerves on a uncut penis. The uncut penis can do more things (it has more functions.) The people who elect to cut their kids are ... typically always cut themselves, or have cut partners. Very few, uncut males elect this after reaching the age of 18, ergo, the foreskin has value. The foreskin contains a lot of nerve…	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 06:05 AM
–	Saw this on imgur. A man holding intactivist signs along a street. Wish I had the balls to do more than just complain on the internet. It's meant for you. Its kind of opaque the way I've presented it. Men aren't circumcised as a way to break them or to put them in fear. I don't think this characterization is completely correct. I mean what circumcision does vs what its meant to do are separate things. Circumcision for instance is sexual diminishment. The first account that I know of that goes into good depth on this is Moses Maimonides back in the 13th century ... Similarly with regard to circumcision, one of the reasons for it…	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 05:58 AM

You can't understand because its literally beyond comprehension. The nerves that were present were removed. The most sensitive part left over is the scar. Test this in the dark, the brown ring will be the most sensitive part... You aren't upset because its extremely difficult to compare sexual satisfaction.

You know I've heard this a lot, that circumsized men have little to no feeling in their penis, but this isn't the case for me. Personally, I like it. You are talking about something as if you understood it.... How can you possibly understand what a foreskin is like if you've never had one... Its like saying you know what a clitoris is like. The foreskin contains 50%+ of the nerves on the penis, and the most sensitive nerves. The foreskin contains the same kinds of nerves that exist on your lips,…	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 05:20 AM

1	Saw these guys at Dragon*Con You've invoked a fallacy called false equivalence. Vaccines have medical benefit. Circumcision has medical benefit. Therefore, circumcision is just like vaccination. Genital surgery is not equivalent to vaccination. For starters, vaccination does not remove 50% or more of the skin from the penis. Vaccination does not alter sex. Vaccination does not alter masturbation. Very few people will experience a complication from vaccination. By circumcision's nature every person experiences complications.…	/r/MensRights	11/09/15 08:44 PM

Is it worth making masturbation worse for 999,999 people so one person doesn't get penis cancer.... as a 40+ adult? That's a decision a grown up can make. STDs, same thing.
