| 1 | What do you think the main reason circumcision continues as a practice, in the US?At one time circumcision was erroneously considered "progressive"...for health and hygiene benefits that have since been shown to be...very very exaggerated, if not nonexistent. | /r/MensRights | 18/10/23 05:01 PM |
| 7 | What do you think the main reason circumcision continues as a practice, in the US?Here in the US we fancy ourselves to be "progressive", when in actuality we're very reluctant to jettison outdated ideas like this one. Oh...and follow the money trail! | /r/MensRights | 17/10/23 07:19 PM |
| 18 | I was looking for a post about the ethics of circumcision when I stumbled across...I believe I've run across the sub for "circumcised humiliation" also. You name it, and there's a sub for it, and people that are into it... | /r/MensRights | 15/06/23 02:12 AM |
| 1 | Why do some parents who have immigrated to the US from countries where circumcision is rare still do it?I'm well over 35... Especially prior to high school, I found this was definitely the case. Guys who would see mine and want to know why mind was different than everyone else's had no idea what I was talking about, and were pretty sceptical of my explanation. It's...kind of a statistical anomaly if you're under 25 or so and everyone else was circumcised besides you...? It's not as uncommon as when I was growing up. It does depend on your area of the country though. Circumcising is still very comm… | /r/MensRights | 22/01/23 01:43 PM |

| 3 | Why do some parents who have immigrated to the US from countries where circumcision is rare still do it?Especially older doctors, that practiced in the second half of the 20th century, still adhere to those old ideas. What's your age group...how old were you when you overheard that? | /r/MensRights | 22/01/23 02:00 AM |
| 6 | Why do some parents who have immigrated to the US from countries where circumcision is rare still do it?Depends on the culture I suppose... But...yes there's definitely no shortage of medical professionals out there here in the US that still adhere to the outdated ideas. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/23 06:55 PM |
| 24 | Why do some parents who have immigrated to the US from countries where circumcision is rare still do it?They want their son to feel "American"... Or...they're convinced by someone else that their son won't feel "American" if they're not. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/23 06:12 PM |
| 4 | Circumcised soon-to-be dad looking for hygiene and general care advice for non-circumcised son.Unusually common situation....! Especially if you're in the age group where it's uncommon to not be circumcised. Foreskin and circumcision were covered so vaguely when I was in school, that if you didn't know whether or not you were circumcised, after that day's lesson you probably still wouldn't know. | /r/MensRights | 21/08/22 12:25 AM |
| 1 | Circumcised soon-to-be dad looking for hygiene and general care advice for non-circumcised son.You'd be surprised at how many health care professionals here in the US are still uninformed, or still ahere to the old inaccurate ideas about the unaltered penis! | /r/MensRights | 20/08/22 06:56 PM |
| 7 | Circumcised soon-to-be dad looking for hygiene and general care advice for non-circumcised son.I have the unaltered johnson...and a good recollection of it's development progression. From when he's born until at least the time he's out of diapers, you shouldn't have to do anything. It's all sealed shut at first, with just a passage for urine to escape. Urine will blow out anything trapped in the passage. It doesn't begin to loosen usually until he's at least 4 or 5. Around that age he should be shown to start checking if it pulls open at all yet, which should only be attempted by him, not… | /r/MensRights | 20/08/22 06:52 PM |
| 8 | what makes circumcision bad?That's all there is...! Same as you wash the johnson in the shower, we just have a sleeve of skin that covers the head up to pull open first. Seems a popular myth is that it's really involved and complicated...like detailing your car or something. I'm pretty sure it's easier than what ladies have to do to keep their parts clean! | /r/MensRights | 13/08/22 02:13 PM |
| 2 | what makes circumcision bad?What's bad is permanent body mods done to people without asking them if they'd want that! | /r/MensRights | 13/08/22 02:10 PM |
| 2 | what makes circumcision bad?Usually, yes! The US is one of the few places in the world where this is often done. Most guys in places like Europe and the UK, etc are not circumcised. Guys aren't all walking around those places with problems with the johnson because they're not! | /r/MensRights | 13/08/22 02:08 PM |
| 3 | Circumcised male here, why do people hate circumcision?Well...worried about what? | /r/MensRights | 05/07/22 01:35 AM |
| 2 | Circumcised male here, why do people hate circumcision?That's one of the pervasive myths...that it's complicated to clean. Like detailing your car or something. We clean it the same way you clean yours. Have you seen guys who aren't circumcised? We just have to pull a sleeve of skin down first. | /r/MensRights | 05/07/22 01:26 AM |
| 1 | Circumcised male here, why do people hate circumcision?Well because here in the US, it's usually done when you're born before you can decide for yourself if you'd want that. If there's an actual medical reason to do it then, that's one thing. But there usually isn't. Whether or not to have an irreversible body mod done should be the sort of decision a person makes for themselves! So if a guy decides to get that done, there's really nothing wrong with that. | /r/MensRights | 04/07/22 11:17 PM |
| 13 | Being intact listed as a ‘medical concern’🤨🤨🤨 I wonder if still having your appendix is a "medical concern" also?? Many more people have problems with that in their life than they do with their foreskin! | /r/MensRights | 05/06/22 01:55 PM |

| 8 | Complications of Uncircumcised men? Any reason to get circumcised at birth?There's very seldom ever a need to do that... I'm not going to say that hereditary/congenital problems with the unaltered johnson don't exist. They can...just as with any body part. But most problems stem from either tampering with it when a boy is too young...or a boy reaching teen years never opening it or knowing it's supposed to. In most of the world most guys aren't circumcised. Guys are not all walking around Europe, the UK, etc. with problems with the johnson because they're not! | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 01:17 AM |
| 7 | My pregnant ex-girlfriend wants to circumcise our future son. I do not.Oof...why does she want to do that... I'm reluctant to go down this rabbit hole. This better not be a situation where the reason she wants to do that is because she knows you're not in favor! | /r/MensRights | 12/03/22 07:45 PM |
| 0 | How do I convince my husband not to circumcise our son?Hmm. I'm sorry to hear that! You may have a difficult fight. Your son should be the only one to decide if he gets circumcised or not. | /r/MensRights | 20/07/21 02:21 PM |
| 0 | How do I convince my husband not to circumcise our son?Where do you live in the world? How old is your son? It should be up to him whether or not to be circumcised. | /r/MensRights | 20/07/21 02:02 PM |

Every guy's situation is different, ans so is whether or not reduced sensitivity would be good for him or not.... | /r/MensRights | 01/04/21 08:16 PM |
| 10 | Does anybody know of any study that 'measured' how circumcision reduced sexual pleasure in men?For me yours is always the bottom line answer. Unless there's a reallly compelling medical reason we shouldn't be doing any sort of body mods to people before they can consent. How the hell are we supposed to know if they would want them?? | /r/MensRights | 01/04/21 07:59 PM |
| 0 | Does anybody know of any study that 'measured' how circumcision reduced sexual pleasure in men?Subjective but....sure! There are guys who enjoy (prefer?) the circumcised sexual experience... | /r/MensRights | 01/04/21 06:49 PM |
| 1 | Does anybody know of any study that 'measured' how circumcision reduced sexual pleasure in men?Huh? Equally bad...and I have no idea why somebody would want to do either. But I don't think it's possible to scientifically measure how much sensitivity somebody loses, or how much somebody has left after a part is removed. Besides to say all sensitivity is lost in the removed part.... | /r/MensRights | 01/04/21 06:44 PM |
| 2 | Does anybody know of any study that 'measured' how circumcision reduced sexual pleasure in men?I'm thinking it would be difficult to quantify....as it's impossible to experience someone else's sensations. Guys who were circumcised at birth have no frame of reference. Guys circumcised in adulthood because of functional or medical problems are almost invariably going to honestly report an improved sexual experience. Guys who had none of those sorts of issues but got circumcised anyway, well, whatever they say we're just taking them at their word..... Guys who report reduced sensation are mo… | /r/MensRights | 01/04/21 03:18 PM |
| 16 | The whole "he'll get made fun of in the locker room" thing is one of the dumbest excuses there is for circumcision!Eh the "locker room argument".... It's...first of all an outdated argument. Lots of guys aren't circumcised now so I don't think those social implications really apply anymore. I'm not circumcised...and that's unheard of in my age group. It was the source of quite a bit of anxiety like...prior to high school. The last time I was asked why I had a weird looking dick I was...11? 12? I don't think it would have bothered me much at all if there were at least some other guys that weren't. Once I got … | /r/MensRights | 09/02/21 01:43 AM |
| 4 | Should I get circumcised?They're lower in Europe...and most guys aren't circumcised there. So saying circumcision lowers your risk of contracting stds is...questionable. | /r/MensRights | 07/02/21 12:04 PM |
| 6 | Should I get circumcised?Once you start...er...using it you'll know what I mean. We got more feeling in it because it stays covered most of the time. The thought of having my penis head exposed in my pants is a little cringy. But that's how circumcised guys all are and it doesn't bother them at all. I remember in elementary school seeing all the circumcised guys at the boys' room urinal finish and just put it away like that and not knowing how they could do it. They must be less sensitive. | /r/MensRights | 06/02/21 07:56 PM |
| 5 | Should I get circumcised?Er...I really don't see any benefit to doing that. Are you sexually active yet? I...think you'll appreciate the unaltered johnson more once you are... The "health and hygiene" ideas are pretty outdated. | /r/MensRights | 06/02/21 07:47 PM |
| 9 | Should I get circumcised?How old are you? Unless it's medically or functionally problematic for you I have no idea why you'd consider that....you'd lose some sensitivity in the johnson. Lower risk of STDs? Few guys are circumcised over in Europe than here in the US...and our STD rate is higher here. So that's pretty debatable. I'm not circumcised and I don't have any problems washing up the johnson...do you? | /r/MensRights | 06/02/21 07:37 PM |
| 4 | Wondering about statistics regarding circumcision. Please be honest.Yeah absolutely. I'm born in the US...over 35. And I'm not circumcised. That was unheard of in my age group. | /r/MensRights | 05/02/21 02:28 AM |
| 3 | Wondering about statistics regarding circumcision. Please be honest.At your age it depends on your area of the country. I'm over 35... We used to change and often shower also in one big room after pe class. I guess a lot of schools don't give you time for that. So we had a general idea of what one another had. Back then I was the only guy I noticed who wasn't circumcised. Never saw another guy my age who wasn't until...college? | /r/MensRights | 05/02/21 01:25 AM |
| 5 | Wondering about statistics regarding circumcision. Please be honest.Eh...a lot of people would find it an awkward thing to bring up to their parents. It's also not something they do with malice in mind. They were most likely misled into thinking it was a good idea. It's a topic that often comes up when someone's expecting a baby boy..... | /r/MensRights | 05/02/21 01:18 AM |
| 3 | Wondering about statistics regarding circumcision. Please be honest.It's a bit of an odd conversation to get into with people you know...but it comes up once in a while. I'd not be uncomfortable here though. It's a recurring discussion in this and various other subs! I...guess it's not weird to be jealous. Do you know a lot of guys who aren't circumcised? | /r/MensRights | 05/02/21 01:11 AM |
| 4 | Wondering about statistics regarding circumcision. Please be honest.How old are you...guessing you're here in the US? It's not quite as popular to circumcise as it used to be here but its still pretty popular unfortunately. Whether or not to be circumcised is really the sort of decision a guy should be able to make for himself! | /r/MensRights | 04/02/21 11:27 PM |
| 7 | Wondering about statistics regarding circumcision. Please be honest.Not sure why someone wouldn't be honest about this....how likely respondents are to be circumcised depends on where they live in the world though. | /r/MensRights | 04/02/21 05:34 PM |
| 6 | Question about peoples opinions on circumcision and similar:1+2: Barring some bizarre medical emergency irreversible body mods should never be done without the permission of the person they're being done on. While I agree with intactivists I find that...sometimes they don't use the best methods of getting people to see their point of view. They are very passionate about their cause but they can throw people on the defensive. It's said you'll catch more bees with honey than with vinegar. | /r/MensRights | 09/01/21 02:03 AM |

| 3 | Do you think children should be circumcised when born or be left up to them to decide when they get older (like at least til they’re 15)?I....my feelings about it growing up were complicated. I didn't so much want to be like them so much as I wanted there to be a few other guys like me. Prior to high school was when I was most self conscious about it. These days not being circumcised is still the minority (US)... but there are guys who aren't also. When I was that age pretty much nobody had heard of circumcision or knew it had been done to them. Kids then were pretty immodest so when they'd see mine like at the boys' room urinal … | /r/MensRights | 24/10/20 03:59 PM |

Admittedly growing up I hated being different in that way from all the guys I knew. But it would have to be pretty functionally or medically problematic for me to consider having a part of the johnson cut off! Barring one of those rare instances, someone should wait until they're at least 18. The younger you are the more likely you are to make decisions you'll change your mind about later.

| 1 | I need help convincing my wife not to get my son circumcised.A lot of heated discussion here....which is usually where things go when this topic is introduced. People's opinions and emotions tend to overcomplicate things. Hopefully you can filter those things out. Your wife comes in with the "health and hygeine" angle...which were popular ideas in the second half of the 20th century. How old are you guys? Those benefits have been found to be very very exaggerated. Certainly not significant enough to cut someone's body parts off without asking them. I'm no… | /r/MensRights | 10/10/20 03:48 PM |
| 2 | I need help convincing my wife not to get my son circumcised.Most "issues" with it stem from it being tampered with when a boy is too young...or reaching teen years and beyond with no knowledge of how it's supposed to function. Both were common problems for the boy who wasn't circumcised during the second half of the 20th century when most guys were! A lot of girls who say that have never experienced or even seen the unaltered johnson...which would be typical to the age group. They're just going by inaccurate second and third hand information. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/20 03:38 PM |
| 2 | I need help convincing my wife not to get my son circumcised.Those things were the mindset when guys in our age group were born.

Without being able to climb inside each other's bodies and take one another's johnsons for a spin its next to impossible to get a definitive answer...but.... Most guys who aren't circumcised will concur....there's no way I could pull the skin down, exposing the head of my johnson, and put it back in my pants that way and hack it for any length of time. Too sensitive! When I was a little kid I'd see the circumcised kids at the b… | /r/MensRights | 24/06/20 03:10 PM |

| 11 | CircumsicionWell dude....not sure why you're unhappy with your unaltered johnson. But the bottom line is if you really dislike it that much you can choose to be circumcised anytime. There are plenty of guys who are circumcised and dislike it. Theres...no easy way to reverse it! It's really the sort of decision a guy should make for himself.... | /r/MensRights | 14/05/20 04:13 PM |
| 1 | Does Circumcision Change SENSITIVITY? |This question is subjective and without being able to crawl inside another guy's body and experience his sensations its all hypothesis. But my hypothesis is there's some degree of decreased sensation when your circumcised. I support it with: Some of the parts of your johnson with the highest concentrations of nerves are removed in a circumcision. Circumcised guys go their whole life with the head of their johnson exposed and rubbing their clothing, and go about their day unaware of it. Most guys… | /r/MensRights | 21/04/20 03:06 PM |
| 1 | What is the proper etiquette regarding trying to convince (or not convince) friends and family members to not circumcise their sons?

| 2 | What is the proper etiquette regarding trying to convince (or not convince) friends and family members to not circumcise their sons? Should you mention it or just not mention it at all?This is a tough subject to broach without throwing people on the defensive. Too many people have their minds made up about what they think. I've seldom been in the situation.....but I try to use a line of discussion to find out why they think its a good idea.

| 6 | As per AAP guidance Ohio hospital performs circumcisions within 24hrs of birth even if the mother tests positive to covid-19Well dude...I don't want to get lured down this rabbit hole. We're in the "men's rights" sub. A lot of guys feel violated that a healthy body part was removed from them without their ok. Its not pointless if there's an issue. But its the only instance I can think of where we perform surgery on someone before there's even a problem. Especially on a newborn? Problems occasionally arise...as they do with any body part.

| 12 | What foreskin restoration/dekeratinization has done for me- me sensitivity is DRASTICALLY different, sex is like two different things now.I have my original foreskin....but the restoration process intrigues me nonetheless. The guys who have completed it all seem very happy with the results! | /r/MensRights | 01/03/20 05:37 PM |
| 7 | Why do you guys care about circumcision?Unless its done to correct an actual medical/congenital problem, circumcision falls under the larger umbrella of irreversible body mod. We shouldn't be doing body mods on anyone without the permission of the people they're being done on.... Since only men have penises, involuntary circumcision of penises is definitely a mens rights issue! | /r/MensRights | 27/02/20 06:41 PM |

Well the only detail you give is that it was done half-way. Maybe to your mom this is defined as botched, as it didn't come out the way she wanted it to look.

I can't think of any other instance where surgery is performed on a healthy person/body part "just in case"...especially a newborn?

Happy to say that through proper conversation and reasoning with my wife he remains completely uncircumcised and my wife now has changed her view to see it as barbaric! Off to feed him!Once or twice I've been in the situation of being examined by a Jewish physician. I'm not circumcised...it just felt awkward. I miss my pediatrician. A kind older man born of European immigrants. Understood the unaltered johnson...he had one! Conceded that although the surgery was wildly popular at the time, 99%+ of the time it served no purpose. | /r/MensRights | 12/10/19 10:41 PM |

Happy to say that through proper conversation and reasoning with my wife he remains completely uncircumcised and my wife now has changed her view to see it as barbaric! Off to feed him!Interesting! Sounds not typical...but not a bad thing. This would be something you would see in Europe. I guess kids don't change and shower for pe class as much as they used to. A lot of kids now here go through their entire life never seeing another person nude, or having anybody see them, in real life. They're in for the shock of their life if they ever enter the military....play a pro or semi-pro sport....join a gym? | /r/MensRights | 12/10/19 07:59 PM |

Happy to say that through proper conversation and reasoning with my wife he remains completely uncircumcised and my wife now has changed her view to see it as barbaric! Off to feed him!The only guys who had any understanding of it were guys who had baby brothers born when they were older. And they had the impression that it "had" to be done.... Really you had gym/showers after in the third grade? Were you in the US? Showers weren't available for us until 8th or 9th grade. Though I think it would be something that would be much easier to get used to doing at an early age vs 12 or 13........ | /r/MensRights | 12/10/19 06:15 PM |

Off to feed him!For me it was more like first grade...but its not like it was 20 or 30+ years ago. In most areas of the US he'll be the minority but he'll see other guys who aren't circumcised either. When I was a kid everybody else I knew was. Not too many guys were buying my story that mine looked different because everybody else had a part of theirs cut off when they were born! | /r/MensRights | 12/10/19 02:17 PM |

| 4 | I am circumcised and don't really understand the hate against it.For me its not about circumcision specificly...although I wouldn't want a part of the johnson cut off. Circumcising a healthy newborn with a normal foreskin is an involuntary body mod. Involuntary body mods are not ok! Even among guys who have no problem being circumcised there's a sense among many of them that it would have been nice to be asked first...never mind those guys who wish they weren't circumcised. Some of those guys feel really violated! | /r/MensRights | 12/10/19 12:48 PM |
| 2 | Eyes wide openHmm.... Well religious reason is "out"...Christians often circumcise but not for religious purpose. And....depending on ethnicity/heredity you could either be circumcised with very little skin removed or not but with a very short skin. American? That means you're more likely to be circumcised than not. Outside the US good chance you're not. European ancestry more likely to have long skin. Asian....shorter skin. A guy in my pe class had one like yours. Based on his ancestry (European) and where a… | /r/MensRights | 06/10/19 05:56 PM |

Sounds like your boyfriend went quite a while without knowing. I...found out when I came home the first week of first grade and asked why my peepee looked different from everybody elses... I'm over 30 and it was pretty unheard of to not be circumcised then. All my friends were, and in high… | /r/MensRights | 06/10/19 05:36 PM |

But without directing you to diagrams or pictures😨....if you're not circumcised you'll have a sleeve of skin that moves up and down and covers and uncovers the head of your johnson. If you are the head will be exposed all the time. Your age and where you live in the world will impact your likelihood of being circumcised(… | /r/MensRights | 06/10/19 05:27 PM |
| 1 | Eyes wide openIt was originally just a religious ritual. Here in the US it was first promoted as a way to prevent masturbation (doubt that worked). By 1950 it was being pushed hard for purported preventitive medical benefits...that have been shown to be very very exaggerated? I've never had a problem with the johnson requiring medical attention. Bet your boyfriend never has either. And places like Europe are not full of guys walking around with problems with the johnson because they're not circumcised! | /r/MensRights | 06/10/19 04:55 PM |
| 3 | Eyes wide openThere is this midset that the way we come from the factory is in some way "not ok"...(???) Circumcision of a newborn...unless it's to correct some sort of medical problem to me falls under the larger umbrella of "involuntary body mod"...that's "not ok!" | /r/MensRights | 06/10/19 03:44 PM |
| 5 | Eyes wide openThere's a lot of variation in what guys' johnsons look like. But that's one of the reactions I've gotten from ladies who had never encountered one about my unaltered johnson. "Oh that's all it is??" I was always afraid to ask what they were expecting! The amount of misinformation floating around out there about it...especially in the US...is staggering! | /r/MensRights | 06/10/19 01:50 PM |
| 17 | "I don't care. I don't care. To each its own, but I am getting my boys circumcised."This diagram is pretty accurate....but oversimplified and whitewashed. It doesn't represent an infant circumcision; in infants the foreskin is all attached to the head...theres just a passage for urine to escape. A lot of people people don't know this detail. Before they cut the skin off they have to stick a tool up there to tear the foreskin off the head! Think of peeling an orange...except the head is left all raw and oozey. It may not seem like it at first but it's more invasive than circumci… | /r/MensRights | 21/09/19 02:12 PM |

Eh dunno about that. The abortion debate is a rabbit hole....when does life start...rights of the unborn....and all that.

| 3 | My wife wants our son circumcised.Myth#....412. "Difficult to care for"....no. No special care is required until at least age 3 or 4. Until then the foreskin is fixed with just a passage for urine to escape. It gradually separates and becomes movable in the big window of time between age 4 and 18. By that age you'll be able to show him to perodically clean in the bath and check its progress. As a baseline...mine would go back about 1/4 of the way at age 5...7/8 of the it way in jr high.

How old are you guys...if he were in school 20 or 30 years ago she "might" have had an argument there. My experience was a little different than yours. Pre high school a lot of boys were generally neither discreet nor modest...seeing another kids johnson was pretty common.

| 3 | My wife wants our son circumcised.Very interesting experience....where and when was this? I've never seen an elementary school with shower facilities....however there's something to be said here about accustoming kids to communal changing/nudity well before the onset of puberty.
