Is circumcision torture?

Question

i have been researching circumcision and i read it decreases sexual sensitivity and the baby SCREAMS during a circumcision. guys who are uncircumcised, how important is the foreskin?

Quite. The foreskin contains so many nerve endings (not all of which are tactile, of course) that afterwards, the ENTIRE PENIS has fewer than the external portion (just the external portion) of the clitoris. And while you'd think it makes less of a difference when erect (since it's retracted), it still has multiple functions: not only does the removed tissue offer stimulation to the female anatomy (compare the outline of an intact penis to that of a "ribbed for her pleasure" condom; those are just trying to replace what's been lost), it responds to vaginal fluid in a powerful way that I don't have words to describe. Not only does circumcision remove that tissue, it leaves the sensitive glans exposed, so it's constantly rubbing up against underwear, and over time, sensitivity decreases, as it would with any exposed sensitive tissue (just ask people who wear contacts).

The bigger issue, though, is it being done to BABIES, who of course can't consent to it. You know what else they can't do? Take anesthetic. They take a newborn baby, strap him down, and somehow ignore the screaming as they restrain and then slice into one of the most sensitive parts of his body, then place the wounded organ into a diaper, that great bastion of cleanliness. This, in many places where it's against the law to crop and dock the ears and tails of puppies.

You can't miss what you've never had, and few people want to confront either the idea that they'll never experience something so wonderful OR the idea that their parents did something so awful to them, so they force it onto their own children- you see the same justifications given for female genital mutilation, as well. It's usually the same-sex parent that pushes it, too- as of this writing, there are eighteen guy comments; I'd wager good money several are defending the practice and insisting that they haven't lost anything. What's that saying- "my body, my choice"?

lol, I have no memory of it.
Things like that... things that happen so young are kind of interesting in that they happen... but then again they don't.

Since we have no memory of the first couple of years of life... the real events that happen... many times are like they never happened.

I fell around 2 and had a broken arm. My mom even kept the little tiny cast and showed it to me. I had cried. It must have hurt.

I have 100% no memory of it so it is as if it never happened. Without her telling me... and without any lingering scar... I would never have known.

Even if it hurt... it is as if I had never been hurt. The first couple of years are blocked out and not in our memories. Just our parents remember all the baby, toddler stuff.

Circumcision is just gross. I don't really care if it's painful/not painful or how sensitive/not sensitive it is like leave the babies penis alone and let them choose what to do with it when they're adults.

Tyrael · Answer

I'm unsure about the reduced sensitivity because I was circumcised when I was around 7 years old, it's not something i had any awareness of. I will say I find it almost impossible to orgasm during penetration or from oral sex, so I assume that's a side effect of the circumcision but I also don't hear that being a common complaint

And EVERY CHILD SCREAMS with the vaccinations for all the childhood diseases that could kill them before they grow up.
At the age it happens, THERE IS NO MEMORY of it, and it DOES NOT, IN ANY WAY INHIBIT SEXUAL PLEASURE OR FUCTION, regardless of the LIES THAT MYRIAD WOMEN (MOSTLY WOMEN-Ironically, because they can have NO POSSIBLE IDEA how a MALE FEELS!!!) post on here!
Billions of males have been circumcised as part of their religion, or the culture, and NO ILL EFFECTS!!
I was, and If I could choose to 'un-do' that, I wouldn't!
It is cleaner, and and I think it looks a lot nicer than having some "Turtle-neck"!! LOL!!

It creates a protective layer around the head of the penis so it prevents tears and friction especially when the sex is hard and rough.

Dargil · Answer

I am and have sufficient sensitivity. My understanding is that women far prefer circumcised to not for giving oral sex,

I got circumcised as an adult.

sex felt better to me after. Some guys find the opposite.

for several decades now they use anaesthesia for infant circumcision. They often still cry because they don’t like being held still. The healing of far faster on infants. It wasn’t that terrible as an adult. As an adult you have to deal with stitches which are the most annoying part.

Smoothing · Answer

Yes, the nerve endings that helps in making sex pleasurable in men are mostly concentrated at the skin taken off during circumcision. Think off that skin as the clit in women. So when that is taken off, the amount of pleasure is reduced.

Don't get me wrong circumcised men still feel pleasure during sex, but don't feel the same pleasure as men that are not circumcised. Just like a woman will enjoy sex without orgasms, bit when they do have orgasms the sex is even better.

Yes. I was circumcised at 5 with my twin brother without our informed consent.

s2firestar · Answer

Absolutely torture. And why wouldn't the baby scream? It's only the most sensitive part of the body and you are cutting it.

Quidthonian · Answer

I am uncircumcised. Well, I have a love-hate relationship with my foreskin. A few years ago I very seriously considered a circumcision. After doing my research, I backed off. The pain to reward ratio was not there for me. The 6 week healing time, the constant care and attention, meant that I couldn't "hide" the operation.
So, I continue with the comprimise: I keep the foreskin retracted for prolonged periods of time as to simulate the look and effect. I have been doing that for over 6 years.

chHaynes · Answer

I wouldn't really know I don't think about it it's not really a great thing but taking the extra skin off the penis is scary as hell from what I have read two I think it may make it more sensitive

Paul09 · Answer

It's dumb and messed up. Unless you medically need it to be done. But it's up to the person if they want to get it done. Not the parents or religion.

andy530 · Answer

No I wouldn’t say it’s torture but it is likly like many medical procedures and is painful

nudeNhorny · Answer

That's exaggerated, I'm happy about my circumcision and haven't lost any sensitivity down there.

The inside of the foreskin (normally cut away) actually "tingles" when we feel vaginal wetness. I wish that I knew how to describe it. The foreskin is just like your clitoral hood.
