Male babies need to stop being circumcised

uiualover · 2024-07-03T17:35:25+00:00

In the U.S., hospitals profit off selling foreskin. They also get paid more for doing circumcisions than not doing them, so they have an incentive to be pushy about it. Sick stuff.

UbiquitousWobbegong · 2024-07-03T18:35:25+00:00

I agree, but good luck convincing enough people to care to make a difference. Mens Rights as an interest group has no teeth. No one is willing to protest en masse like they are for women's issues and BLM. We are politically safe to ignore.

As far as ending circumcision goes, you're preaching to the choir. We aren't the ones you need to convince.

Yeetus_08 · 2024-07-03T19:51:10+00:00

Oh I had a girlfriend and we talked about having children and I said that if we had a boy I didn't want them circumcised as that's barbaric, I had seen videos of it being performed from my college classes, and she never knew about it. Once I explained about it she was completely mortified which so was I. I still don't see why people support it in the 21st century.

RoryTate · 2024-07-03T17:23:16+00:00

I’ve only ever been able to have an orgasm with a man who was uncircumcised

As others have noted, you should call these men "intact", or just normal. But more importantly, your interests or personal aesthetics do not matter in the choice of what men decide to do with their own bodies. Whether you can orgasm or not is simply not a priority here. Seriously, even Laci Green trotted out the dumb "intact penises look better" argument when opposing the unfair practice being done on baby boys. Just effing stop it with the narcissism already. Everything should not have to come back to being a benefit for you in some way.

ParanoydSchizo · 2024-07-03T18:20:03+00:00

I’m 24 and recently found out I was this whole time thanks to a meme or something silly can’t remember but yeah im kinda pissed about that It should be illegal AS FUCK to do anything to a human body against their will especially against a baby…..the people on other reddits that brag about forcing their kids to go through it need a good beating lmao that makes me sick

intactUS_throwaway · 2024-07-04T00:20:34+00:00

Suggestion for retitle to better reflect the reality on the ground: People need to stop forcibly mutilating newborn boys' genitals.

Let's call it what it is - infant male genital mutilation.

And it, like its female counterpart, should carry the death penalty.

xAceRPG · 2024-07-03T16:54:39+00:00

There is no good reason to do it, it is harmful because it removes healthy functional and erogenous tissue.

fatpigredneck · 2024-07-03T18:08:36+00:00

Feminists will squeal about "female genital mutilation" and in the next sentence state that they prefer uncircumsized penises.

...because in the feminist mind, a man's penis is about them.

We've already seen feminist apologists in this thread try to play the "FGM isn't the same as circumcision!" card, trying to set up a false difference.

Consent is consent is consent. End of discussion. The only time a male needs to be circumsized is if the phimosis is bad and creams and stretching devices can't solve it. It's a procedure of last resort. Other than that, leave the boy alone and fuck the book of bedtime stories stating that it has to be done. If God didn't want men to have a foreskin, we wouldn't have been born with them.

I've made damned sure that every boy I've fathered has kept his foreskin.

Wooper160 · 2024-07-03T20:58:18+00:00

No more genital mutilation

MFToes2 · 2024-07-03T20:24:32+00:00

I just got shadow banned for saying this on the 'wrong subreddit ' as if moderators do their fucking jobs

randomaviary · 2024-07-03T18:13:52+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, this is slowly changing. I even know a lesbian, and very feminist couple that recently had a boy and they chose not to circumcise him.

pissed_off_elbonian · 2024-07-03T16:36:52+00:00

This sort of decision should be made when you’re an adult. Doing this for a newborn is evil.

Adventurous_Design73 · 2024-07-03T16:49:46+00:00

It also decreases the ability for a man to have an orgasm. I'm not talking about ejaculation those two things are different and many men do not know that because of this happening to them.

Also refrain from using the phrase "uncircumcised" instead use intact, natural or normal. You don't call yourself and other women "uncircumcised".

peasey360 · 2024-07-03T23:26:39+00:00

This. My kids will not be circumcised and any woman who insists on it can find another man. Genital mutilation is barbaric and cruel.

fatganer1991 · 2024-07-03T17:00:49+00:00

Glad i was born outside or U.S, Australia, Israel, Middle East.

Lonewolf_087 · 2024-07-03T19:18:06+00:00

Unless there was a medical reason and it had to go if I had a boy I would insist on leaving it. Like most medical practices these days you leave things until they are an issue. The old days you removed things because they could become an issue. Times have changed.

Funny-Top-1759 · 2024-07-04T00:26:09+00:00

Feminist woman here, fully support a total ban, no religious exemptions. Did not circumcise my sons.

Title is weird. Should be: Adults should stop circumcising (baby) boys.

disenchantedprincess · 2024-07-04T13:54:41+00:00

Woman here, I agree. My son is intact. My niece had a baby in January, and despite my efforts to convince them to leave their son be, they circumcised. The way she talk about hearing him cry as he was coming back from his "procedure" and she knew it was him and to "give me my baby". It all made me want to throw up. Still makes me sick to think about it. Feeling like I failed to save him.

reddoghustle · 2024-07-05T03:28:43+00:00

It is genital mutilation, period end of story

SparkLabReal · 2024-07-06T21:24:47+00:00

FINALLY somebody else actually discusses this, I have literally always thought this, your imaginary beliefs are no grounds for mutilating a healthy baby boy.

SidewaysGiraffe · 2024-07-03T16:43:49+00:00

Interesting choice of phrasing. What makes you think the baby has any say in the matter?

kkkan2020 · 2024-07-03T16:28:19+00:00

Yeah I read it's supposed to be practiced only by men/boys of the Jewish faith (Judaism) and in addition the Islam faith....it wasnt supposed to be mainstream worldwide

GRL_1151 · 2024-07-04T01:07:40+00:00

YES!!! I am upset about my circumcision status as a part of me was removed without my consent and it wasn’t life threatening. I think it should be illegal.

Adventurous_Design73 · 2024-07-03T17:11:12+00:00

I believe it decreases the ability to give a woman an orgasm with penetration alone.

It is absolutely irrelevant. The anatomy of the vagina and the ability to orgasm through penetration is only proportional to the width and operating length of a penis and not so much to the lack of skin.

A dildo can give orgasms and has no skin itself.

NinjaVisible3827 · 2024-07-04T07:57:39+00:00

I had a botched one that hurts every single day, physically and mentally. I plan on getting a revision to “fix” it, but I’d much prefer to have never been mutilated against my will at all.

BayouGrunt985 · 2024-07-04T23:12:11+00:00

I knew this bitch of a female nursing student who got my IG post taken down that was protesting this nightmare. There was a code at the college she went to that you never hit a woman..... she needed to be hit bad..... only problem is I would end up in the morgue because she's married to a BJJ black belt

gre2704 · 2024-07-04T07:03:04+00:00

You spelled "mutilated" wrong. Other than that I 100% agree. This should be just as banned as mutilsting female genitals.

If it is for medical reasons or done voluntarily as an adult, I have no problem with it. But just because reasons is bullshit.

Yitastics · 2024-07-03T20:34:31+00:00

Thankfully almost nobody gets circumcised where I live. There aint even a good reason to do it besides for example having psiomaris

Dry_Dimension_4707 · 2024-07-04T07:10:45+00:00

Yes! I completely agree. Let’s stop performing all genital mutilation, unless it’s consensual, which is a horrible thought.

the_lost_cheeto · 2024-07-04T19:57:20+00:00

As someone who has experience with both sides of this I want to start off with my story and then which I prefer.

My mother is from Europe and my father is not. My father is circumcised but I am not. So what kind of disaster is this? Let me paint the picture for you. As someone who grew up in this dynamic something different happened to me. Since my mom naturally did not have a penis and my dad didn't have the foreskin I grew up not being able to pull the skin back to clean it. Because I couldn't pull it back I also couldn't fix the way it smelt.

Because the skin couldn't peel back sex was not pleasurable at all. It felt like an extra large condom with extra thickness. This resulted in many failed nights at sex. Because of this my confidence was really low until I was convinced to get the surgery. Immediately after the surgery it was painful. Extremely painful. As an adult the recovery time was around 3 weeks.

Due to my new unit, it was EXTREMELY sensitive. I wasn't jizzing in my pants like a certain lonely island song but it was different. The best way I have to explain it is if you have callous built up on your hands and feet and use something to remove that. You suddenly feel it much more basically the same thing but on a body part with much more nerve endings. This resulted in an extra 3 weeks of recovery since any quick movement would result in extra sensitivity for a few seconds.

After the recovery I had sex the first time and it was like a race because that build up resulted in finishing so fast and hard I am surprised I didn't pass out. It felt so good and I finally understood why people were obsessed with sex.

The moral of what I learned is if you can't take care of an uncircumcised penis don't opt to keep it that way. If you don't take care of it properly when they are a child then you will have a situation similar to mine. I'm not saying I don't agree with you but I'm saying there are some unique circumstances like mine that would not make your statement as black and white as you are saying.

HelpfulAppointment54 · 2024-07-04T13:01:29+00:00

I was 15 when I realized I wasn't circumcised. I think my Dad was and it's just such a non factor. It's how one looks to me and it's healthy looking. With a kid I feel comfortable with just telling him that's it's his and move on. It's nuts that it's a thing but it's such a low priority with raising a son.

Are we still talking about this??? Talk about dying on the most worthless hill. There are better arguments to be made elsewhere. Like it or not it's just a net gain to be circumcized. And if you don't believe that stop anyways because this subreddit is like 80 percent posts talking about this saying the same shit

KingpinPenguin97 · 2024-07-03T22:02:53+00:00

I guess I am a magician because I literally have zero issues giving out orgasms, multiple orgasms even, with my circumcised slobber knocker. You are technically saying that the size of the ship matters more than the motion in the ocean, but you should speak for yourself in this regard, or label this as an opinion or subjective point of view.

If you claim to know many women who experience this issue, have you ever taken into account their sexual history.

Maybe they had taken men with massive slongs and couldn't return to average;

Maybe they stretched themselves out with toys and experienced the same effect;

Maybe the penises you all worked with may have simply been too small for you;

etc.

There are many reasons why you cannot get an orgasm from a circumcised penis, but it is highly unlikely that the circumcision is the reason, as it never stops most women from having at least one orgasm. It simply stops you and the likely few that you've echoed. That's not an issue with circumcision, but an issue with your sex partners or even yourself. It depends.

From what I can infer, the extra girth of an uncircumcised penis is what you really desire, which is why you find circumcision problematic. It is not a necessity for most women, so long as the man is good at sex and has a wang that is enough to satisfy, circumcised or not.

Not trying to roast you or anything. Just suggesting that maybe it's not what you think it is.

That's just like me saying that all women need to practice kegals and tighten their lady parts, because I only orgasm once, if not at all, while giving out multiple in one session. While yes, the women I interacted with were loose, it doesn't mean that's why I couldn't cream my corn. There were likely other reasons, like maybe I'm used to sex like this (for better to women and for worse to me -.-), maybe they are too big for me and I sloop right in (because apparently that can happen, not all holes are the same size) maybe they are too wet and I have no friction to feel anything. The reason may be dumber than I know, but it's usually something obvious.

NorthernPuffer · 2024-07-03T17:08:50+00:00

I disagree.

I think my dick looks better this way.

Happy it was done.

Yogi_diamondhands · 2024-07-04T16:44:23+00:00

One of my friends was knocking boots with an uncut man and it got kinda wild and the friction TORE it off kinda and then he had to get circumcised - as a 31 year old

BeckCraft · 2024-07-04T01:32:25+00:00

I've been cut and am glad I was... My spouse made the exact opposite claim about having a orgasm with a cut vs. uncut, so I guess it depends on the person. I was also an 80's child, and I assume it was much more popular back then.

pargofan · 2024-07-03T21:55:56+00:00

and I don’t see any good reason to do it.

FWIW, the CDC claims it lowers the risk of AIDS and other STDs:

Health benefits: Male circumcision can reduce a male's chances of acquiring HIV by 50% to 60% during heterosexual contact with female partners with HIV, according to data from three clinical trials. Circumcised men compared with uncircumcised men have also been shown in clinical trials to be less likely to acquire new infections with syphilis (by 42%), genital ulcer disease (by 48%), genital herpes (by 28% to 45%), and high-risk strains of human papillomavirus associated with cancer (by 24% to 47% percent).

While male circumcision has not been shown to reduce the chances of HIV transmission to female partners, it does reduce the chance that a female partner will acquire a new syphilis infection by 59%. In observational studies, circumcision has been shown to lower the risk of penile cancer, cervical cancer in female sexual partners, and infant urinary tract infections in male infants.

As an uncircumcised man I want to become circumcised one day.

AnotherPhilosopher · 2024-07-04T02:50:27+00:00

If you are uncircumcised you don't go to heaven. You taking that risk or just glad you didn't have to worry about it at all and no negative repercussions.

Twisting_Storm · 2024-07-03T18:50:24+00:00

No, circumcision is a good thing. The foreskin is relatively useless and does more harm than good. It increases the risk of UTIs and makes hygiene a lot more difficult. I’m glad I was circumcised.

hohol_biba · 2024-07-04T00:05:39+00:00

Mens rights community should stop just copying things that women are complaining and whining about (as female circumcition), but to focus on real problems, which there are tons of. As a man it’s so sad to see posts like that

Pastor_Dale · 2024-07-03T18:10:18+00:00

There are plenty of health reasons to have it done.
