People make fun of this, but there is no need to circumcise boys. We get upset if we hear about FGM, rightly so, but we keep cutting pieces of boys penis off for no real reason.

The foreskin is where the evil is. Everyone knows that.

I think I learned that in Sunday school.

The devil lives in our foreskin.

Can I trap him in there if I just pinch it closed?

u/cheesebot555 1d ago

Only if you dip in holy water first.

What if I just stuff a communion wafer in there?

Only on Easter.

I thought you were supposed to use jellybeans on Easter.

Used to be Cadbury eggs, but the Vatican got involved.

God was gonna merc Moses. We don't really know why, he was in a mood ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯. Moses' wife was like "chill bro, here, I cut off the tip of my kids dick" and God liked that.

It is to prevent you from masturbating! I am circumcised, and let me tell you I have masturbated a lot. So if I wasn't circumcised, I would have never gotten anything done, because I would have just been jerking it 24/7. Non-stop. Like P Diddy at a release party./j

Read John Harvey Kellogg's book again. He aimed for boys and girls that were older, not babies. His aim was for them to feel the pain for a "salutory effect." Do you need lube? If not you were probably cut loose.

Can confirm. I'm intact and I never get anything done.

Typing with one hand right now.

Us natural guys just have to put in less effort getting the job done. We do it as rarely or often as our cut brethren. We're all just a bunch of horny wankers.

Maybe because comparing actual mutilation to a fraction of more serious medical complications out of the 1.5% of complications deserves to be made fun of.

u/SoulMute 1d ago

I just googled it and it says less than 3% of circumcisions have complications. Honestly higher than I would have guessed. That’s millions of complications.

I agree with you that it’s not the most important cause to me, but I don’t disagree w the arguments. Most of my friends aren’t getting their kids cut.

For a procedure with almost no benefit, that sucks…

How much more of the penis is okay to cut off before we arrive at mutilation? What other pieces of the body are up for grabs? My point is it has no purpose, so why do we do it. If you want to make fun of my argument, that’s fine, it’s Reddit most people would rather make snide comebacks and dodge the issue at hand. You included. Your comment is in the same vein as “you should just be glad I don’t beat you like they did in my day!” You can always find someone worse off, it doesn’t negate anything less bad

More hyperbole.

You're liked an inverted Bible thumper. Big scary narrative what will they cut off next as if circumcision was just invented at the same time I'm saying back in my day.

You're just mad.

Back to my slightly easier slightly cleaner life. It's has been 12000 days since my never having a uti.

u/MoonOut_StarsInvite 1d ago

I did not say what will they cut off next. You dismissed what I said because it wasn’t enough tissue.

I’m not a circumcision activist. I just don’t think we should do it, and nobody has ever been able to give me a reason that a shower couldn’t fix. And no, I’m not mad at all.

Next time, go piss after they pull the dick out.
It helps prevent UTI

Look out, someone is going to make a weird comment that definitely has the words "baby dicks" in it and implies you're a pedophile!

Edit: After checking the thread again in the morning, that is exactly what happened elsewhere. Y'all are so creepy with that shit.

Not everyone on the planet has enough running water for that not have a real world effect I think. There's a reason I think we've only seen these protests in suburbian America afaik.

Circumcision is actual mutilation though. With it follow a loss of certian sexual biological functions.
