Circumcision - Penile Hygiene

Seriously? Do you guys even bother to look before you make claims? I'm on your side but I'm not gonna sit here and deny facts.

And to answer your culture question Batlord, it isn't for me, but some people highly value that stuff to the point of it skewing their morality.

How cis men don't go fucking nuts and chop that shit off is beyond me.

Circumcision should only be legal when a man voluntarily says he wants to be circumcised. Under any other situation, I think it's immoral.

Smegma is produced by the foreskin’s inner surface and contains neutral lipids, fatty acids, sterol and exfoliated cells. Excretion of smegma increases in adolescence and peaks at age 20–40 years. Whereas initially it is a lubricant having a white or pale yellow color, with time, chemical transformations take place and it becomes mixed with epithelial cells, dirt and micro-organisms; these form aggregates and produce foul odors.

By all means, don't circumcise your newborn boy. Good for you! High five.

Yeah...

These are issues for people who don't know how to bathe themselves. Or can't.

It takes like 20 seconds to clean your bellend.

If circumcision is so much about prevention of health issues why do they not remove the appendix or tonsils at birth as well?

Only if the parent takes the time.

Lots of douche parents out there.

Again, weird f*cking topic. Such a no brainer for me.

Idk the stats on it but of all the people I know personally none have had tonsil problems and only 1 has had their appendix removed. As opposed to anyone who is uncircumcised that must take extra precautions to care for themselves. Also, I think it's mostly done for cultural/religious reasons while tonsils/appendix have nothing to do with either.

Parents who are too douchy to take care of their children's genitals and teach them to take care of their genitals when they come of age probably aren't putting much if any thought into circumcision. You guys are acting like it's so much of a hassle that it necessitates removal. And that it's mostly only Jewish people who this concerns.

The bottom line is, imo, it's an invasion of a person's right to have a body that they're comfortable with. It's an irreversible procedure and there are people out there who have been circumcised and wish they hadn't been. Nobody has the right to force someone to have a body they don't or may not end up wanting to have. How is that not the end of this discussion?
