The Absurd Reason Why America Circumcises Baby Boys

[HapticSimian]

Many people feel they can help their son avoid some of the inherent health risks of having a foreskin, once and for all by having him circumcised early in life (the best time in the healthy baby is 7-10 days old). Not only is it a simpler procedure, needing no stitches, but he will not remember the event. He will also grow up never knowing anything different. Boys circumcised later in life may find it a more embarrassing experience. For a while afterwards they will feel the sensitivity of the permanently exposed glans, but will gradually adapt to it. Thus, circumcision in babyhood can be a very sensible decision - especially for a single mum with a boy and no man around the house. If you do circumcise your son, you must explain as soon as he is old enough to understand, what happened and why it was done. This helps acceptance and avoids ignorance.

Congratulations on falling hook, line and sinker for the money-spinning racket that is infant circumcision in the US. A nice stream of income for the practitioners, built on the fallacy that nothing of value is lost.

And yet you continue to ignore my counter argument as to why you feel "better sensitivity" is something to repeatedly brag about? I'll repeat again that I have rarely heard complaints about sex lasting too long...

I'm happy for you. No, really, I am. That's not anything even remotely resembling an argument though.

That's because women are experts at faking it

But continue to believe you are a top notch lover

Please feel free to share why you feel this supposed "better sensitivity" is the big deal you keep making it out to be then?

We should educate women then. Rather than worry about hygiene issues with uncircumcised men they should be more concerned with unsatisfactory sex...

At my age I don't need to fantasise about my sexual abilities, or lack thereof. Been around the block more than once.

Going around the block twice is hardly anything to boast about :erm:

I provided you with the research you asked for indicating it does, over and above the infantile logic necessary to understand the likely correlation between loss of nerve endings and loss of sensation / sensitivity. Yet here you are, still, just proclaiming your position to be correct in spite of evidence to the contrary. Why?

Notwithstanding the fact that there are numerous other facets under discussion...

Sorry, I didn't see the research you supplied, I was away and didn't read all the thread in between as it was full of moralizing and condescension. Could you please point me to the relevant post.

 

[bokdrol]

Yup, often we wish it would be over quicker......

As was stated earlier in this thread there are types of female circumcision that are are on a par with male circumcision. I. assume you're OK with those types of female circumcision.

Since females don't have a foreskin I don't see how there could be types of female circumcision that are are on a par with male circumcision. Where do they do this?

and why? There are no health benefits I can think of.

Nope, can't be arsed. If you want to partake in a conversation kindly follow it yourself, or excuse yourself from it.

It's only a big deal because the poorly supported counterpoint is being tossed around in favour of infant circumcision.

Sounds about right. Women really shouldn't be getting intimate with anyone whose hygiene is at all questionable.

It was discussed I'm detail earlier in the thread.

It doesn't actually exist does it? I appear to be taking part in the conversation fine, thanks

No it wasn't

No it wasn't

How would you know if you haven't read the whole thread? :erm:

It does, as it was referred and linked to earlier, so you are clearly lagging a bit. Your need for spoon-feeding isn't my responsibility.

If you have to ask that there is no hope for you. Do you really think male circumcision, a procedure so minor that it doesn't even require stitches when done on a baby boy is the same as female circumcision which may include removal of all or part of the clitoris and clitoral hood; all or part of the clitoris and inner labia; and in its most severe form (infibulation) all or part of the inner and outer labia and the closure of the vagina.

Really?

While male circumcision may be medically unnecessary it offers multiple health benefits and carries few risks if done properly while female circumcision offers NO health benefits and incredibly high risks, even when done properly.

Genital mutilation is cruel and unnecessary whether its done to a boy or a girl. There are no health risks by remaining uncircumcised if you practise personal hygiene. Circumcision was necessary in the past because people were dirty ****s who didn't bathe or shower often or because some invisible deity in the sky said it must be done.

Oh really? What do you call the clitoral hood then?

 

[Sherbang]

I call it the clitoral hood. What do you call it?
