Ok.

Why?

Cos I think it should be their choice as it's their body. Can't see how anyone could disagree with that.

There are no strong arguments to do it tbh.

There are no strong arguments for refraining from having it done. In my opinion.

Duh. Have you jabbed yourself in the belly button yet?

A newborn baby doesn't feel sh*t.

I think cultural tradition is a strong argument for it and giving the person the right to decide how they want to modify there body is a legitimate argument against it. I'm surprised to see the discussion get this deep over some foreskin. I mean I have an opinion about it but I don't actually care.

No one touched on my comment about parents deciding the sex of intersex children at birth. I'm curious what everyone has to say about that.

Honestly I think the concerns are mostly cosmetic. Uncircumcized dicks are pretty weird-looking.

This entire discussion is making me really glad that I'm never having kids because having a child who is assigned male at birth just seems like such a burden (I won't say 'having a little boy' because not every kid born with a penis is gonna grow up to be a boy, just sayin').

Yeah, they do. Because they have nerves. Like I said, you just don't remember it. You biologically can't remember it because you're brain isn't developed to a point where it's capable of creating memories. And yes, I've jabbed my belly button. It was not that bad. Not nearly as bad as what I imagine my dick would feel like the day after having the foreskin removed. But again, as a baby you wouldn't remember the feeling. You'd grow up with a circumcised penis whether that's what you wanted or not.

Literally just saw a commercial for this on TBS.

I'm not surprised but I'm happy to know my skepticism was legit. Same for all those commercials to raise money for the poor children in Africa. I'd rather go there and make a difference for a couple days than donate to these untrustworthy commercials.

Millions, probably billions of men the world over are not circumcised, and are not forced later in life to have their dick chopped.

A non-circumcised penis has many more nerve endings than a circumcised one. I think better nut busting is a pretty good reason to hold off.

Millions, probably billions of men the world over have had that little piece of skin removed at birth.

No big deal.

(seriously, this is the third weirdest thread I've seen since being a member here)
