- Ridiculous claims disputed below
It doesn’t reduce pleasure.
The foreskin is actually the most sensitive and nerve filled part of a man’s body. Circumcision also removes the rigid band (which isn’t even mentioned in argument). It serves a function and generates pleasure itself. For example, when a guy has all foreskin removed he no longer will get pleasure from his shaft. It’s horrendous, he will have to yank his shaft skin back or use his prostate. More specifically, if you have never noticed: these urologists usually leave a bit of foreskin which dries out over time, unless they are having a bad day and want to ruin a life.
It reduces HIV exposure.
The foreskin is made of mucous membranes. The function of these membranes: form a barrier which prevent pathogens from entering. HIV is a pathogen. Lastly, for those who use the studies about reduced HIV. Have you considered these are conducted in Africa where these are not unconscious children whom stop having sex after their traumatic experience. It may seem cliche, but one kind of lie is actually statistics. The full complexity of ‘statistics’ are never exactly expressed. These surveys are subject to bias.
Foreskin smells bad.
What a ridiculous claim itself but my question is relative to what? Don’t think you could just shower? You are usually comparing it to a vagina, in which case, a 2 slabs of meat which bleed. Lastly, this claim has never been proven, however a vagina bleeding is well known.
It looks better.
This is a sick and pedophilic claim because this is about a child. However, humans adapt to every form of sex and will develop fetishes if need be. This is not a claim, this is a delusion by those within the society which has acucullophilia.
It’s for my religion.
This is not a reason. If a religion tells you to do an action, you should judge the action and all of its results. An action has real consequences, you cannot say it doesn’t matter. There are so many ways to dispute this ridiculousness, I won’t even begin. Judging actions on their effects is what any sane person does.
It makes you last longer.
If you have no pleasure you’ll last the longest, also known as erectile dysfunction. By being circumcised, your glans and foreskin will dry out and become nearly numb as you age. The foreskin keeps everything from drying. There is no solution to this claim desired. Permanent reduction of nerves is no solution to a fantasy. You can always use condoms with a numbing agent. However, you could always learn self control.
Edit:
Genital mutilation does not need to argued with reasoning, it is a sad delusion that people are currently living. I hope for the sake of humanity, some wake up along the others and stand up against this disgusting practice.
If you are a believer in a god but have a good sense of morals, every life that is about to be ruined could use your saving. And for the atheists, as they like to say, we are all tourists and the beauty of nature and the freedom of choice and the freedom to learn must be preserved.
There is truly no ‘freedom of religion’ if you can force it upon others and make irreversible changes. Freedom really is worth dying for. I hope in the future, more of us are free from the trap which makes us do evil things.
May we all be humanist in the future. After all - we are all human.
