Nope.

Genital mutilation is a caveman practice...

No why would I want to mutilate my dick

I think its a lot less common in the US these days. My 6yo isn't, and to my knowledge none of the little kids in the family are either. My friend has 3 little boys all uncut

I'm circumcised and it has caused me so much mental anguish and pain. I've done the work of nurturing myself back to a mentally healthy place about it, but I beg you not to put another person in that position if you can avoid it.

Frankly, it's a bloody weird thing to do unless medically required. Leave him be.

No sane beings cut off parts of their children as part of a retarded ancient ritual. Let alone part of the genitals; unfathomable perversion.

Pardon my French, this angers me.

Edit: Oh, and pro tip: Mutilating children leads to antisocial behavior.

Ok, so I'm a 38 year old uncircumcised Canadian male and on this issue, I have two opinions:

1.) Circumcision for moral, traditional, covenantial, or social cohesion reasons is child genital mutilation. Full stop, no second guesses...

2.) I have a larger-ish penis with a proportionally smaller frenulum and tighter foreskin. I am not bragging about size, I wish I was smaller because, when I get very aroused it can be quite painful. The foreskin frenulum pulls right against the tip of my penis and bends it down. If I were to excuse the frenulum and loosen my foreskin, I can imagine having sex when I am very erect would feel much better. This would be great because right now it feels like I'm trying to fuck with reigns on.

I have been exploring the idea of the loosening surgery, but obviously this is my choice, for aesthetic and pain management reasons.

The child has no choice, it's abuse. I have a choice, it's a medical procedure.

Tbh I love my foreakin, it's fun to play with and overall just enhances the penis having experience. 10/10 would recommend

This is your opportunity to discontinue a barbaric practice that was done to you for stupid reasons.

The only thing that is making this a difficult ethical choice for you is the culture you were brought up in. If you were born in most other places, this issue wouldn’t even provoke serious thought in your brain, just astonishment, laughter, and ridicule for anyone who practiced it.

This isn’t a hard choice. Do the right thing.

We didn't circumcise our son. It's a barbaric practice and you shouldn't do it. There's absolutely no good reason to mutilate a child's genitals, and it's abhorrent that it's so commonly practiced.

I have no idea where this American obsession with male circumcision comes from. It is an unnecessary medical procedure that you only share with Jews, but they at least can cite their ancient religion as an excuse.

Anyone else in the world just shake their heads about this.

Have I ever wished someone had genitally mutilated me as a baby?

When my son was born, I casually asked his mother (my now-ex-wife) whether he should be circumcised because it was a question on a form. I hadn't thought about till then, we hadn't discussed it. She was vehemently against it, and I didn't care one way or the other, so that was the end of that.

There won't be any bullying about this, because most boys don't see each other naked anymore, in P.E. for instance, at least not in the U.S., and most boys are not circumcised now.

Of course, circumcision started with and is tied to religious BS, but in the sixties, when I was born, it was so common even my atheist parents had it done to their two sons. I supposed it was recommended for "health reasons", I dunno. Also, my dad was, but I don't know why--I don't know much about that side of my family.

It's just how I've always been, I've never resented them for having it done. I've never wished I wasn't or wondered what I missed, or had any desire to try to recreate it. I'm sure my uncircumcised son feels the same way, we haven't discussed it.

Nope. Don’t mutilate your child.

I agreed to do it for my first son.

the screaming broke me. I can still hear his cries.

my second son, they didn't even ask and just did it. I was furious.

don't do it.

"Hey internet I was thinking of cutting some of my babies dick off"

"Bro wtf what"

"Just a lil bit, just the tip!"

"Aw okay that's fine mate!"

Did you think this would be how it goes?

Don't.... cut parts of your baby's dick off dude, it's a weird thing to do.

No.

Forskin ins there for a reason. It's protecting the head of the penis. Cutting it off is just a poor way of not having to deal with the problems if you don't wash it properly.

My 2¢: don't

I was circumcised at birth by my parents, and it's a source of frustration I have with them. Since it's irreversible, there's nothing I can do about it though.

Personally, I think circumcised penises look unnatural and weird.

Don't. I wasn't until my early twenties, due to failing all other options to treat the worst case of phimosis my urologist had ever seen. It was fine at first, but you lose sensitivity over time. Now I'm struggling to get that back and it's really difficult.

I'm circumcised. My young adult sons are. Looking back, I would have made a different choice for them. I don't have a super strong reason for feeling that way except that I don't have a good reason to have done it other than "tradition". But that's a dumb reason to do things.

While it is still more common than not in the US, the rates have been falling for the last 10-15 years.

Some girls wont want to fuck him, but they'e the type of girls he shouldn't be fucking for the most part, btw its straight circumcised male writers that make girls be disgusted by it on tv and in movies. Some weird shit forsure, like girls asking for pictures but now in a hot way more in a curiosity way that is uncomfortable. Bitch you got google. He does have to clean it and shower daily, should be doing that anyways.

Idk, I think are densensitized and will never know it, id rather bust fast than not be sensitive down there, shit feels good when it needs to, like I can feel stuff done to the skin more than I feel my head, the idea of my head just dryly rubbing against my boxers getting even more densistized is wild to me. The skin is protection, and the skin itself has a lot of feeling. Imo ppl act like it doesnt reduce pleasure but I think its female genital mutilation adjacent, you just don't know what you lost. Adult cirmcusion is wild too, because you get the worst of both worlds, looks bad anyways

I'll trade fore some skin

I'm genuinely upset about not getting a say in the matter.

When a person gets circumcised they lose a ton of sensitivity and feeling from their dick, and it permanently degrades the quality of any sexual gratification they will have in their life.

And that's not even touching on how fucked up it is to mutilate a child's genitals for a religon that they can't even consent to.

I also think circumcision is wrong. My friend who is a nurse advocates for it because she has uncircumcised dementia patients who don't adequately clean their smegma but like, come on, you're the nurse and it's your job to take care of them

American and uncircumcised here. Definitely don't do it. The only reason it should ever be done is a case of phimosis so bad it can't be fixed any other way.

They say they circumsize because they dont want to have to clean it or it smells. a little funk is okay. i hate the catholic pressure to snip. i wish they didnt obsess over keeping it cute and neat i wish i had the choice.

The idea of wanting a circumcision has never once occurred to me. The notion of having my most sensitive area permanently exposed... eugh.

I'm American and not circumcised, my wife and I chose not to circumcise our son because there really isn't anything to gain from it. In my mind it's no different than the removal of the hood from around a womans clitoris, it would cause a lot of pain and discomfort until the area is more "desensitized" by constant overstimulation. As someone that has only ever had a penis, and never a circumcised one, it's all just speculation on my part.

No, never. Circumcision is weird, disturbing, and imo abusive since there’s no consent to having part of your body removed.
