How can you be against female genital mutilation yet circumcise your son?

[Razp_Sorbet]

I agree to some extent, though they are very different procedures if you can even call female circumcision that. I believe circumcision on male babies is wrong, unless medically necessary which is very rare. If they want to get a circumcision when they are older then by all means. But we really need to accept bodies as they are meant to be.

I’m not sure, but I heard circumcision helps lower health issues, associated with the male genitals.

Prevents bacteria within too? 🤷‍♀️

Not totally sure, but this may help you in the guesses, as to why one would be okay over the other.

Personally, if I were a mom to a son- I suppose I’d let his remain natural. I suppose keeping it natural is a good thing. 🤔

Male circumcision causes permanent damage to the head of the penis and destroys sexual sensation and self lubrication. The foreskin just like the vagina helps in self cleaning of the genitals. All of the supposed "benefits" of circumcision are lies created by pedophilic American doctors. Also women really have no place in saying male foreskin is gross when women also have foreskin.

[Rosexøxø]

Errr I never said that they were but it seems fair you mention it.

Yeah I say we keep it then.

I’ll sign petitions to keep them.

Do you think men with theirs cut would be mad about that?

Do they have any recall to the time that they were under that operational procedure? Or no

[Asker]

I had mine cut without my consent and I'm mad about it.

[Rosexøxø]

☹️ I’m really sorry dude.

If it helps- anyone who doesn’t have any adjustments to their genitals, can still go a bit numb down there from over/ intense stimulation.

You’re not exactly missing out.

What upsets you?

Missing out on optimum pleasure?

Having it performed without your consent?

Other?

[Asker]

Actually I am missing out, without the self lubrication and nerve endings (the foreskin has about 20,000 nerve endings) I don't feel the same pleasure and sexual sensation as men who are uncircumcised or intact. What upsets me is that I was never asked (I was a baby) and that I'll never be able to feel the pleasure and sensation than an intact penis would.

[Rosexøxø]

I can relate to the devastation, in the sense that there are just a “laundry list” of things that parents and some doctors will not ask the kids, and will act upon, as they see fit.

A few times, the things that made me angry caused me to get more infuriated.

I’d say either try to convey your upset to them, to get that understanding and closure,

Or

Try to see the positives and the reasons for gratitude- like having a dick, at all, and such.

Or try both? 🤷‍♀️

For a passionate subject like this- you can decide to take action or not,

BUT

I’d hope and say you can’t let this live rent free in your mind, and take a negative toll on your emotions and life objectives, yk?

👀🙏

I actually have been speaking out against it and talking to my family and friends about it. And telling them why this procedure is harmful and unnecessary. But all I can guarantee is that if I do have a son or sons they will be intact. I will not make the same mistake my parents made.

[Rosexøxø]

I like your choice of action!

Hopefully sex is still pleasurable for you?

Even for non adjusted genital owners, orgasms can always be stronger for us.

Definitely continue to speak out. Maybe circumcision needs to die out altogether? 🤔👀

I knew someone on here (female) who had underwent genital mutilation and had no little c on her overall p

So I’m sure girls with similar can relate to your situation and other guys who ALSO relate to your situation.

[Rosexøxø]

I just hope you do well, and thrive 👐☹️ 🤝🤝

[Rosexøxø]

It’s a bummer! It’s a bummer for sure! Anyone can see that

[Asker]

The US is the only country to preform this procedure for non-religious reasons, the US is also the only first world country that does this. When it comes to sexual pleasure I have to rely on other sources for lubrication since I can't self lubricate. So it takes longer to have an orgasm because of that. And yes, it does need to die out since it is a unnecessary procedure with really no health benefits. In fact no medical organization in the world recommends circumcision.

[Rosexøxø]

Well that’s honestly TERRIBLE

I learned something new from this, so you helped with my perspective in this area.

🙏🙌🔥🔥

[Asker]

You're welcome. And I hope other people see this and have second thoughts on circumcision.

[Rosexøxø]

yeahhh, consider making a my take here? Just an option. :]

[Rosexøxø]

posting some factual articles and sharing your experience and any other testimonials will help. Can do one, or both. Just consider!

Male circumcision cuts the foreskin, FGM cuts the clitoris—the two things cut are not even remotely the same.

[Asker]

Genital mutilation is genital mutilation.
