Superb Opinion

  • Okay, I'm seeing a lot of random links posted, people making claims of their own. Let me tell you what I know as a second year mes student and from peer reviewed research work, you can cross verify all these from places like pubmed.1. Sensitivity. Yes the prepuce has a lot nerve endings. That doesn't necessarily mean it has sexual function. What it does have is a lot of receptors to pain and touch. A large part of these nerves are dormant during sexual activity.2. Reduce disease: when it comes to STDs there is a very small reduce in the likelihood of STDs with circumcised penis. When it comes to infectious diseases, yes, I often read about a lot more skin diseases that are particular to uncircumcised men.3. Trauma, consent: yes there might be a little trauma as a baby as well, but doctor usually use local anaesthetic. Since the baby's senses aren't fully calibrated by that age, it shouldn't be something that the baby remembers. The pain the baby would feel would be similar to that of vaccinations. And coming to consent, while it might be harsh to do it without the babies consent, it comes with it own benefits. First as an adult circumcision is much harder as, during puberty, if circumcised, the penis develops in sync with the available skin and receptors according to the structure. A manual work manipulating it after it is fully developed is much more likely to feel abnormal. Moreover even psychologically, it is a huge burden to get adjusted to the new penis. You could look up the many suicides that people go through as they had to go through adult circumcision due to medical conditions and they couldn't adapt to it. Apart from this, all other claims of brain damage, not enough sensitivity. abnormal benefits are baseless, zero scientific evidence of any of it. So yes, in the end, you could get your son circumcised or not, it's not gonna drastically change his life like either of the sides tell you.(It being a sensitive topic since men consider their penis a sign of masculinity and pride, this topic is extremely polarizing as they don't wanna feel inferior to a penis that looks different. Which is why uncircumcised males are angry about circumcision as circumcised is considered more hygeinic/preferred, and their sexual organs they feel are deemed inferior. And vice versa. For the best opinion, I say consult your doctor. They can guide you with the right facts.)

    • thanks ☺

    • *I'm a second year med student. Sorry, typo Also I forgot to mention about phimosis, the most common reason men need to get circumcised. I suggest you look it up

    • I don't believe in unless it's medically necessary

  • Americans are fucking retarded, with no common sense at all.

    Circumcision is completely unnecessary, cruel. There have been studies which show that circumcision causes psychological trauma:

    https://www.iaim.net/extreme-trauma-from-male-circumcision-causes-damage-to-areas-of-brain/#:~:text=But%20for%20males%2C%20the%20medical,with%20reasoning%2C%20perception%20and%20emotions.

    It's a painful procedure, regardless of whether anybody tells you otherwise, and "the baby won't remember it" isn't an excuse to subject your baby to immense pain.

    It's also not more hygienic. The foreskin exists for a reason. It's not a birth defect. If it were a danger to health not every man would have foreskin, because in the past infections would have killed the children who had foreskins. It exists to keep the head of the penis clean actually.

    I've some some completely ridiculous arguments from mothers about this hygiene thing and I have no idea where they get these ideas from. One woman said for example that she wants to get her baby circumcised because when she tries to pull the foreskin back to clean underneath it her baby screams in agony. No shit woman - the foreskin of a baby is attached to the head of the penis and it can't pull back, which means that you don't need to clean under there in the first place.

    It does reduce sexual pleasure, in fact that's the only reason religious people do is. By religious people I mean people with Abrahamic faiths, which teach that sex and masturbation is shameful. When they first began to circumcise boys they made all kinds of ridiculous claims. At first it was simply to prevent them from masturbating because it could cause blindness, but later they started claiming that it cures diseases like diabetes. Basically, every single health benefit of circumcision is a complete lie, and the real intention is to limit sexual pleasure.

    If you understand all of that and you still do it because everybody does it, because some retards here say "I'm circumcised and I'm fine", or "it looks better lol", you're an idiot.

    • O: so they do get trauma from the pain.. thats awful. i thought they forgot about it and it didn't effect them

    • Yeah the American doctors lie, or often probably don't know, because evidence of the damage caused is swept under the rug. In other Western countries also nobody but Jews and Muslims circumcised, and we're absolutely fine.

    • This right here!!

  • The reason I had my son circumcised was his dad was circumcised and young boys are notoriously careless about hygiene. I didn't relish the thought of having to pull back his foreskin to clean it while he was in diapers either.
    The whole movement about men feeling the loss of their foreskin has ruined their sex lives, as the removal of the clitoris in women renders women inorgasmic, is foolishness.
    Circumcism doesn't compromise orgasmic or sexual functioning in men.
    The removal of the foreskin does seem to lessen cervical cancer in WOMEN, as men who don't have foreskins keep their penises cleaner, and the smegma that accumulates under the foreskin leads to inflammations that convey cancerous cells to women's cervixes.
    This has been a statistical certainty.
    This is not to say a man CAN'T keep his foreskinned penis spotless, but it appears it doesn't always happen, and raises a woman's risk for cervical cancer. So it sounds like NOT cleaning under the foreskin happens regularly.
    And little boys can't keep their fingernails clean. You think they're going to keep their foreskins sparkling! HA! Also STIs can hide under the foreskin.
    I also asked my 25 year old if he was upset that I had him circumcised. If he wanted his foreskin back.
    He asked me if I were crazy. So I think it and he have turned out OK.

  • I personally don’t see the point in doing it. Circumcised or not it’s still a penis🤷🏼‍♀️ And people saying girls don’t like or even reject guys who aren’t circumcised, well that’s really sad and those girls are not the one. A woman who can’t even accept how a man was born but they want a man to accept them for who they are. What a joke.
    I don’t know too much about circumcision so I can’t really give a solid opinion on if a man should have one or not but if he doesn’t then that’s perfectly fine just like it’s perfectly fine if he does.
    A penis so still a penis.

    • i agree (:

  • If you're Jewish go ahead, otherwise just parent well and he doesn't need it.

    It was a little helpful when people had no protection from STD's and didn't wash regularly. If you teach the kid to clean well it's better not to be.

    The foreskin kind of acts like a natural lubricant (by letting the dick slide through it) and is full of nerves. Men without it have an easier time not developing issues with shooting too quickly, but that's according to some VERY iffy sources. Really without a disease of some sort there are far more reasons to keep it.

  • Would YOU want to have healthy, functional tissue removed from your body, without anesthetic, entirely without your consent? Get yourself an anatomy textbook and take a comparative look at cut vs intact penises- then take a look at a "ribbed for her pleasure" condom. The entire point of that ribbing is to replace what circumcision takes away- for her, at least; nothing you can do for him.

    Look, this is an issue I'm far from neutral about; I fully acknowledge I'm pretty damn biased here. But if the argument that it's his body, and so should be his decision, isn't enough, then watch a video of that operation. See that helpless baby bound and restrained and listen to him screaming- not crying, SCREAMING. Then ask yourself if that's really something you'd want to do to your child.

  • Well, a guy can always get circumcised later in life if it's that in demand, but you can't get "uncircumcised" or rather even if you could get the appearance back the nerves and what not would still be gone.

    Don't get me wrong, I love my penis in all it's circumcised glory, but sometimes I do wonder what things would feel and look like if, you know, part of it wasn't removed soon after my birth.

    Seems like a mean thing to do, breath your first breath and get part of your dick cut off for tradition and a cleaner look.

  • I think circumsized dicks look better. So if im going to give the guy im dating head, i prefer he's circumsized. Since i dont have a dick, i won't force the kid to get circumsized because I don't know what that will be like for him. So i’ll leave it up to his father to decide

  • Don't do it and let him decide when he gets old enough to make up his own mind.

  • i think it should be done

  • Recent medical opinion IS 'circumcision' is predominantly a Hebrew / Christian predisposition with NO medical benefit, PROVIDING the male is socialized to proper hygiene by retracting his foreskin for washing.

    Original purpose was to irreversibly 'mark' males in Roman times, to identify them as belonging to that particular subculture~

  • Unless for a medical reason, I akin it to genital mutilation.

    • i've learned that today.. it causes trauma and reduces the pleasure a lot apparently.. i thought it was no big deal

    • ... I'm not fully up to it. But really? You think just chopping off parts of the body had no repercussions?

    • well i thought it was just skin with no sexual nerves or anything

  • There is no compelling reason for routine infant circumcision. Foreskin is healthy, nerve rich, erogenous tissue and there very few issues that can arise with it (no more than any other part of the body).

    Foreskin is highly sensitive, and keeps the glans protected and more sensitive. Your son also can choose to get circumcised as an adult if he really wants to (and the results of adult circumcision are usually far superior to those of routine infant circumcision).

    There is no additional care you need to worry about. The foreskin is attached to the glans at birth, and you don't have to retract it to clean it. Just wipe it at diaper changes. If anything it's easier to care for because there's no open wound in his diaper.

    • how sensitive is foreskin?

    • The inner foreskin and frenulum are very sensitive. For most uncircumcised men it can be more of a source of pleasure than the glans itself.

  • I circumcised my son. It depends on who you ask and where they are from. If a guy is cut often they'll want their son cut too. Or if they're jewish. In Europe its less common to circumcise a boy.

    • Why did you do it?

    • I prefer circumcised cock. My husband who is cut is disgusted by uncut cock. And he's Jewish so... its just a matter of preference. I honestly was sad to hurt my baby but knew it was going to be done. The procedure I found quite interesting. They numb the area quite well and just cut off the skin. Little bit of blood for like 2 hrs n thats it. You put a huge glob of petroleum on there for a week or 2 and its healed completely. My son didn't seem to be in pain after a day or 2 so I was pleased with that. No momma wants to see their baby in pain.

    • I would love to ask more in private manners

  • It's completely unnecessary cosmetic surgery. At best it saves him 20 seconds in the shower cleaning inside his foreskin, at worst it'll cause complications that result in amputation of his penis.

  • Maybe you should refer this question to the baby’s dad... ask his opinion on the issue... 🤔

  • That can only be answered by you and his father. Circumcision can be for religious purposes but it can also be for a hygiene purpose. A cut guy has a lot easier time of keeping the penis clean and free from bacteria.

  • You want my opinion on whether you should chop a bit of your baby’s dick off because thousands of years ago some guy decided to make up some shit about God and Jesus to keep civilisation under control?

  • mgtow incels will hate you if you do, that's a good enough reason to sacrifice a foreskin to the goddess Isis.

    • @tallcuck It was a joke, you s*ck person.

  • Please don't do that to your baby if it's a boy. Please protect his body integrity. I was cut as a newborn but I really wish my penis was intact.

  • My sons aren't circumcised. I think that's a decision for an adult man to make for himself.

  • Yes cut the kid 1 time

  • I say yes do it

    • Why yes?

    • Why does it matter to you?

    • Just saw a couple opinions of yours. Pure curiosity.

  • I mean, it's technically involuntary genital mutilation. Think about it like that. What are the pros? Why would they outweigh the big negatives? In the end it's the parents' decision.
