It’s unconsentual genital mutilation of babies, a beyond cruel excercise - unless there is a clear medical reason

    I don't believe there is any medically justified reason beyond what would require anything to be amputated. All of the "medical reasons" people tout are thin bullshit. Anything people have claimed could be accomplished with much less invasive procedures. I'm furious and deeply hurt my parents did this to me. The whole reason is to reduce sensation during sex because sex is a "sin". My parents had the fucking gall to tell me looking at porn will impact my relationships after doing this shit to me.

    In my twenties I've caught a fungus down there. It caused some scarring on the foreskin. Basically it got tighter, so much so that undoing (what's the term??) it during erections was painful.

    The doctor said I needed to be circumcised, so I got the surgery. Healing was not too bad and I can't say it had any lasting impact (in sensitivity or otherwise).

    EDIT:
    I lie. There is a lasting impact — I can no longer wank without lubrication. With foreskin I had no need for it.

    Yep, right on. There can be a need for it when the foreskin is too tight during puberty, but it doesn't fully pull back until that time in a boy's life anyway so the circumcision is not necessary from birth, apart from maybe in the case of a rare deformity.

    I am yes. I also have a circumcised penis. What is your point?

    Your confusion is obvious in your post, which is why I asked. Doesn't seem like you are very fond of yourself, but you don't owe a debt for existing. Just be you and fuck everyone else, especially the people who say fuck everyone else. Don't buy a boat
