I'm depressed, need to get this off my chest

[Anonymous 1]

My 2 cents: tight foreskin is fixable with stretching exercises, but if you are a c~~~ you cannot know that.
F~~~ circumcision, I want my dick to be intact.

Second, there’s no point in male circumcision either – it’s proven to have no health benefits for either sex

Bzzzzzt. I’m sorry, but the correct answer is that it DOES in fact have health benefits, potentially life saving ones. Thank you for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you backstage.

[Note: I chose the wikipedia entry as it’s fairly neutral and well written. Plenty of other sources exist though, just google “circumcision and HIV”]

The African study was flawed and proves nothing. Circumcized men could have had a lot more and riskier sex (prostitutes) than non-circumsized men. Ridiculous that the African study is used as evidence of the benefits of circumcision.

What about this one:

A 2008 meta-analysis of 53,567 gay and bisexual men (52% circumcised) found that the rate of HIV infection was non-significantly lower among men who were circumcised compared with those who were uncircumcised.[7] For men who engaged primarily in insertive anal sex, a protective effect was observed, but it too was not statistically significant.

My take is that every medical procedure has advantages, disadvantages and dangers.
To do these procedures for religious or ideological reasons is just dumb. To avoid these procedures for religious or ideological reasons is equally dumb.
It is only reasonable to use medical reasons, balancing risks and benefits, with full consent and understanding of the subject.

There are two things that are not easy to do:
1-change the mind of someone religiously or ideologically committed;
2-change our own mind when we are religiously or ideologically committed.

And there is a grave danger when we do these two things:
1-depend of someone else for our happiness or wellbeing;
2-give someone free reign over our mind.

My two cents- Well, if you have seen me rant here about how much I would have liked to have had the choice and all the reasons for it you likely know I would at the very least give one small paragraph on my opinion to anyone who would hear it. So, in this case here I would give it to her, then leave.

My dick don’t touch it. My dick, and as an Atheist I don’t want to feel marked by a religion, don’t touch it. My dick, and yes, I would have preferred to be uncut as a former athlete who has done lots of road biking as well, friction sucks, don’t touch it. My dick and I gave you no consent to touch it, stop touching it you f~~~ing perv.

I always point out the meat curtain argument. If little girls were all having their labia removed because it is what men liked and or was “fashionable” or for RELIGOUS reason… there would be blood in the streets. There is no reason for circumcision. We evolved this way for a reason, or, if you are religious, god made us this way for a reason.

My dick, don’t touch it.

I would prefer that male circumcision be outlawed.
THX said it. ..
My dick, don’t touch it!

I agree with Bill, don’t give her free rent in your head. I lost interest when I saw logical and woman in the same sentence. Those two never go well together.

If it costs you your peace of mind, then it is too expensive.

I’m circumcised. Got it when I was eight, due to tight foreskin.

The doctor told my mother the procedure will have no ‘side effects’.

The myth that circumcision reduces libido…is exactly what it is …a myth (wikipedia).

But yes, if you don’t want it, it shouldn’t be forced.

I don’t feel ‘violated’ or anything, and think that if it is a cure to a legit medical condition, and done WITH CONSENT, its not an anti-male thing. I wouldn’t have minded losing my sex drive because I want to go monk anyway.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Ironic isn’t it? Women advocate having free choice over what happens to their bodies but when it’s applied to men all of a sudden it’s fine to control them. We all know they are full of it, yeah it’s depressing but it is the mode of operations; it really shouldn’t surprise you.

The only minor justification to her side is that it’s a kind of cultural norm. A Jewish tradition that kind of permeated society with made up bulls~~~ like, “it’s cleaner and healthier for the man” to make it stick and become a bit of a beauty standard for men.

I don’t know what else to say that hasn’t already been said by you friend :/

The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."
