My basic position being, 'Don't mutilate infants, especially in their most sensitive regions, while their wide awake, in the third day of being alive.' Her basic position being, 'It's in the Bible, it's in our culture, you can't feel pain when you're that young, and its good for cleanliness'. I'm left thinking like, 'cleanliness'? When did we start cutting of the toes to prevent the fungus? A wee bit of research to find that oh hey, its CDC approved and recommended. Kinda makes me wonder too about the whole transgender operations on babies being normalized to in some ways. Supremely f-ed up and I think for the same reasons. Anyway, I just came here to vent this

"It's good for cleanliness" was a valid argument right up until indoor plumbing met soap. I'm uncircumcised (sorry if that's TMI, but you clicked on the thread knowing damn well what the topic was) and every time I've heard this argument it's from a woman. And every time I've shut them down with "my penis has never had a yeast infection."
Also TMI, but uncircumcised is preferable in my opinion as a woman ;)
As a woman I agree.
Me three.
Ditto. Never been with an uncircumcised man but not something that would appeal to me at all. Maybe the next generation will feel differently? I sympathize and relate with OP though. When my son was a baby it was a difficult decision to make for same reasons she mentioned.
While I had mine done for medical reasons when I was 3 or 4, so I wouldn't know what having a foreskin is like, I can attest that at least for me, I fucking hate boxers because of the sensitivity. Id prefer not to get a boner from walking thanks. Still, if I didn't get one to tuck in the waistband it would be rubbed raw. 0/10 would not recommend loose fitting underwear
I went ahead and made the thread NSFW cause I'm probably TMI-ing in the title
It is fucked up. The goat-fucking-muslims like to cut the clitorus off and the world looks down upon them. But when it comes to boys we just shrug. Also, why is it called "uncircumcised"? You're not un-anything. You're the way God intended.
It's mutilation. You're removing a host of sensors, chemical triggers, and much more. It's also Christian culture to teach children how to clean effectively.
They use baby foreskins in facial products. Ellen had a show on it. I've heard many times stories about doctors pushing people to get circumcisions for their sons when they didn't want to now after hearing about the Ellen show and what they did with the foreskins I know why it's f****** sick.

"And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb." - Luke 2:21
They didn't even ask me if I wanted my son circumcised?? They brought him to me after. I thought this was normal procedure? 😶 like they take for vitamin k shot etc????? Maybe they asked hubby I'll have to check!
Circumcision substantially reduces the incidence of penile cancer, as well as cervical cancer in women who are sexual partners of circumcised men.

Also, the fact that the Biblical commandment for circumcision states that it must be performed with a flint knife (which must be chipped to be sharp moments before cutting, meaning that its freshly-chipped surface has few if any microbes) thousands of years before anyone knew what bacteria were is evidence of divine inspiration.
Male Genital Mutilation
logically no different from
Female Genital Mutilation
Good for you. No child should have their genitalia mutilated. Our genitalia are perfect just as they are created.
Its sick that some "parents" would rather mutilate their child than simply teach them to keep themselves clean.
Doctors have been doing this, even in home births, for 100 years or more.
They perform abortions as well.
So what.
It has been accepted medical procedure.
My father had it done. I had it done, and I don't remember a thing about it. I did piss in the nurse's face, so I was told later.
And at one time, doctors would drill a hole in one's head to deal with a headache..
To let out the evil spirits.
So did my brother, they say he got her good.
Shit... where to start on this one. Tradition is not ours, it is for '''them''' (not using parentheses, ha), goes back a long time, blah, blah... I'm going to stop there before I get in trouble on the PG board. Do your own research. Don't use Google.
They use them for those facial skin products.
Let's not forget that there's a certain custom out there that involves taking a sip of blood from the circumcision.
Very good way to spread parasites.
Remember she's been brainwashed by professionals along with the rest of us for our whole lives. Don't let the spat fester. Only got one mother.
Absolutely. Forgiveness removes 90% of life's stress
Has she not read the acts of the apostles?
Wherein? I've been reading it slowly
