Ultimately, if children occurred in my future, I honestly wouldn't see the practicality in doing it to them. If I were a boy who'd had it done though, I wouldn't lament it.

Speaking as a boy who got the chop, I wouldn't say I lament it but whenever I get into this kind of conversation or read something about it I do kind of wonder if I'm missing out on anything.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Anyone I know who's cut, has had it dine as an adult due to a problem. I know of one person btw.

I'm cut and honestly I like it a lot. I think it looks ALOT better(fine to disagree with me just an opinion.)

I've read that circumcised men more often use lubricants when masturbating while intact generally men use less because the way the skin rolls on the shaft of the penis makes lubricants relatively unnecessary. Is that wrong? I don't know for sure.

edit :

Thought I'd see if I could find a source to back that up. Seems there are several, some based on internet polls or others on more in-depth studies. Here's a quotation from a free article I found :

Quote:

Women were significantly more likely not to experience vaginal orgasms, not to experience multiple orgasms and to feel vaginal discomfort with their circumcised partners [18]. Bensley and Boyle reported that women experience significantly more vaginal dryness with their circumcised partners [19,20]. They also reported that circumcised men use significantly more artificial lubrication when masturbating [20]. Overall dryness is yet another adverse effect of circumcision on the sex lives of both males and females.

The above is from the article Relation of Male Circumcision to Cervical Cancer, Sexuality and Female Circumcision by Avshalom Zoossmann-Diski.

Yep. Genital mutilation's been done to girls too.

Quote:

Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female genital cutting and female circumcision, is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.

That's something I have some trouble with. The western world is largely against cutting girls and it's been an important subject so why haven't a proper debate about male circumcision followed? From studies, it's appearant the procedure is largely unnecessary and can have serious negative consequences and this is something people do to days-old infants.

Being for or indifferent to one and against the other seems hypocritical to me.

i have a lot of Muslim friends who had their foreskin removed

i haven't heard a single one complain about it, be they faithful to religion or science

femaile circumcision is totally unnecessary and constitutes mutilation and its sole purpose is to prevent sexual enjoyment
