I think most people who are not Jewish probably circumcise because they think it will be strange for their child to look different than they do, or perhaps they believe cut is " normal" and uncut is "abnormal".

My husband asked his mother why she had him circumcised. Her answer was, " because that's what everybody did." She gave the same reasoning for bottle feeding and not breast feeding. My husband decided long before he had kids that there was no reason to circumcise. It wasn't a second thought for him. I was really happy about that because it never made sense to me why people did it to begin with!

I have already spoken in-depth with me eldest son about this.
In all likelihood, any male child he may have will also have this problem, and so he has to keep an open mind either way.

I remember reading once that there are thousands of nerves cut when a circumcision is performed. I'm an american man in his early 40s, thus I"m cut, as is my brother and father. As I learned more about circumcision, I really wish I hadn't had it done to me. I'd never bring it up to my folks. They believed what they were told, that it was the healthier option and preferred. I just would like to have had the sensations associated with an intact foreskin.

Snipping foreskin seems like such a trivial and trite concern...

...when you consider how many babies just months before get their brains vacuumed-out of their cute, little skulls.

As one who has lived his life with a pouch on the knob, I can't imagine what it feels like when you're used to not having one.

But on times when I fail to tuck it in properly (not gonna explain the mechanics, but it can happen), even the soft fabric of my briefs is a dry, uncomfortable chafe, and I need to seek privacy for adjustment before the poor fella goes numb.

And then they grow up to be Congressmen.

There's a procedure to give it back to you....
...but I hear it's painful and you can't have any sex while it's being stretched.
Not sure if it would be worth it.

It seems like WAY to big a pain in my ass to deal with it. I still like sex and things feel quite nice as is.

It's no different than the ritual of " female circumcision" in Africa. Girls are not given a choice and the clitorus is cut out. Why? It's mutilation.

Well, in this case the girls definitely get the short end of the stick. Their lot is magnitudes worse...

A circumcised penis loses some sensitivity and functionality, but you can still get a helluva lot of enjoyment out it.

A circumcised pussy on the other hand is completely ruined and most of those poor girls are unable to ever have anything close to a normal sex-life.

I thought this issue was settled and that it was normal to circumcise boys. It was in my generation anyway. Apparently the trend these days (in the gentile community at least) is now turning away from this. Why? Foreskin is unnecessary and stupid, its in the best interests of the child to get rid of it. Who is behind this effort to bring back these funny looking foreskins? I think they are weird looking. Don't use the argument "because its natural." So what? Running around naked is natural, but we don't do it like a bunch of apes.

Its mutilation. If you don't have one, how do you know what you're missing??

 

[CottonForMe]

Agree

I'll tell you who is responsible~ a mother like me who wouldn't hand her perfect beautiful helpless little baby to a doctor with a razor blade sharp knife. There is no way in hell I could allow such a meaningless and barbaric assault on my infant sons. For what? So they blend in with the 60% of kids that are cut?

In my mind, circumcision is a cultural ritual that when examined makes no sense. I don't believe in god and I have never been one to do something just because others do it. Would I inflict pain and alter my child's body to slightly reduce the risk of infection in the first year of life? No way.

The Human body is exquisitely designed and I do not believe foreskin needs to be viewed as a design flaw.

Totally agree. There seems to be a cult of 'skinless' who fear those with skin and use put downs to defend their deprived position. I just wish they'd get over it.
The foreskin is full of nerve endings and is very sensitive. What I have found is that 'cut' guys penis end is hardened and less sensitive whereas an uncut end is soft and sensitive. As far as the cleanliness argument goes it is an individuals responsibility. Indeed as I understand things excessive washing with soap is detrimental to the natural body oil which protects the end of the penis.
There is no justifiable reason of circumcision, other than on medical grounds.
