God is stupid and can’t create good genitals as is.
why the fuck would it? fuck these cunts. Also, quit mutilating kids.
No no let them keep believing it so they finally stop mutilating kids.
Never thought it did.
Still ain’t right.
Genital mutilation.
Who the fuck thought it did?
All the people who don’t want autism to be genetic.
It increases risk of an exposed glans tho
I was going to put in my two cents (troll), but nearly all of the comments in here make sense. Circumcision is for lazy idiots.
Eh. I like not cleaning smegma out of my uncircumcised dick. I’m totally fine with being circumcised without my permission and with no memory of the pain of the procedure and I’m glad I didn’t have to make that decision as an adult.
They also vaccinated me without my persmission. I’m ok with that too. My parents also forced me to get braces when I didn’t want to. Glad about that too.
Downvote. I really don’t care. I’m kinda just tired of this conversation.
Cleaning it doesn’t really take any effort. Its not like you need to go digging around in there.
Cleaning it doesn’t really take any effort.
But cleaning it is, in itself, effort. Effort I’ve never had to put forth.
Are you telling us you never clean your knob?
cleaning smegma out of my uncircumcised dick
That’s a manufactured issue, btw, on the scale of cutting off your big toe so you don’t have to figure out which shoe goes on which foot.
It’s a space in which things can accumulate that I don’t have to worry about because I don’t have that space. Not once in my life have I suffered repercussions from not having that space.
I like not cleaning smegma out of my uncircumcised dick.
You know this doesn’t actually ever happen unless you never wash yourself, right? In which case you probably have many other problems anyway.
That’s what he just said, that he likes not having to clean it.
“I don’t want to ever clean my dick”
Uh, ok.
Stupid, simplified argument in which you had to put words into my mouth and quoted something I never said in order to make your argument. Bad form.
Cleaning an uncircumcised dick is harder than cleaning a circumcised dick. Period.
I’m not implying it’s a lot harder. It’s simply an extra step that I have never, and will never, have to worry about.
I’m kinda just tired of this conversation
Is that why you came in here and wrote two paragraphs only just barely tangentially related to the article?
Pretty small paragraphs. Took me a whopping 15 seconds for the entire comment cuz I’m on a computer and stuck at work. Rest assured, I wouldn’t be bothering if it was a weekend. You can check my comments. I don’t do social media on weekends.
I guess I care enough to tell people there are some benefits to circumcision and to stop worrying about it and focus on topics that actually matter. It’s very much a “social justice warrior” type thing to give a shit about.
And “social justice warriors” are very much a “fucking chud” thing to give shit about.
Are you sure you don’t want to argue about it more? You really have a lot of “I want to argue about it” energy.
What’s to argue? My dick is easier to deal with because it’s circumcised. It may not be a lot easier, but it’s easier nonetheless. And never once in my life have I suffered repercussions from a procedure I don’t even remember.
The argument against is that it’s done without the permission of the individual. But that’s a stupid argument because all sorts of body decisions are made for us without our permission by our guardians as we grow up. Do you think no one should get braces as a child and the decision should be made when they’re adults when it’s way harder and takes way longer to re-adjust adult teeth? Do you think children shouldn’t be vaccinated at all and that it should only be done once they’re adults?
That dumb argument may fly if there were NO benefits to circumcision AT ALL. But there are.
Alright, you definitely want to argue. Let’s lock it in.
My dick is easier to deal with because it’s circumcised.
This is going to shock you, I’m sure, but you must also wash your circumcised dick, and procedure is is roughly the same… Water, soap, rinse dry, whether you’ve got a foreskin or not. If it takes an extra 2 seconds to wash the extra bits of an uncircumcised penis, the the lifetime “extra cleaning” penalty of not having part of your penis lopped off is ~15 hours. Congrats, we’re mangling children at birth to save 15 hrs of their life. What are you doing with those 15 hours? Because from the looks of it, you spent that much time crafting half-assed replies about how you’re “so tired of arguing” for circumcisions.
The argument against is that it’s done without the permission of the individual.
No, that’s your argument against it. The actual argument against it is that genital mutilation of a baby is wrong, full stop. Let’s be clear here as well, medically necessary procedures are not genital mutilation, and gender affirming care when done with the knowledge and consent of the subject is not genital mutilation either.
all sorts of body decisions are made for us without our permission by our guardians as we grow up…
Absolutely, part of being a parent is making informed decisions for your child that they are incapable of making. Vaccines are medically necessary, and the parent(s) should be getting their child vaccinated. Braces, are frequently necessary for proper articulation, and properly aligned teeth last longer and make it easier to eat (ask me why I know this), and while not all cases of braces may be medically necessary, you’ll note that we aren’t gluing orthodontic devices in the mouths of newborns that can’t resist the procedure. If you take a child to an orthodontist, and the child pitches a fit, refuses to open their mouth, and in general resists the procedure, I guarantee you, the orthodontist will not treat them, even if the parents come in and physically restrain the child. Your two, (rather shitty) examples simply do not support your claim that other medically unnecessary body-altering procedures are okay to inflict on people who are physically, mentally, and socially unable to resist.
That dumb argument may fly if there were NO benefits to circumcision AT ALL. But there are.
Let’s add another layer to it. Do you condone Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)? Do you think it’s not a big deal? I promise you, any reason you can find to support circumcisions, I can use to support FGM. If you support cirucmcison on the same grounds, then you must support FGM by the same logic, unless you think the only thing that determines if a procedure is genital mutilation depends entirely on if the gentials are attached to a boy, or if they are attached to a girl.
What? Who are these people that were even linking these two things? I’m actually shocked I can still be surprised by stupidity.
They should still stop doing it though.
No but it is cruel as fuck and rooted in religious bigotry
I like my circumcised dick. Y’all can downvote me if you want.
Nothing wrong with liking circumcised dicks, but I think we can all agree that chopping off part of a child’s genitals for any reason beyond a medical necessity without any input from the child is inherently wrong.
I like your circumcised dick too!
I like any kind of dick, but I still don’t approve of pointless cosmetic surgery on infants. If he wants to be circumcised, let him grow up and decide for himself.
So, I actually have a friend who had not been who ended up having to have it done at 30 years old for medical reasons. Apparently the experience was pretty hellish.
Genuinely curious how the quality of sex diminishes, i’ve heard you lose a lot of sensitivity from it which is a bummer
Don’t know, but I really can’t imagine sex being any more intense. I’m more than content with the me I have to work with and I believe the quality of my sex life is better than average.
A fish cannot experience water.
I can imagine. The only reason people think it’s okay to do to infants is that they cannot complain about it at the time.
I don’t defend it being done without need, but I’m still not mad at my parents over mine. It has still served me well for many years and has never received a complaint.
No but it is cruel and a gross violation of bodily autonomy that should have huge amounts of jail time attached.
Thank goodness my parents said they would rather have left that choice to me when I was old enough. As an adult, why the fuck would I get circumsized unless you have a specific reason to do it?
I’m jealous that your parents cared enough to let you decide. I wish mine had done the same.
As for why you would do it willingly I don’t know either.
A friend of mine did it for medical reasons. His foreskin was too tight to pull back, which made it really hard to clean, and I think there were some other problems associated with it as well.
I’ve never heard about an adult getting circumcised as an adult for religious reasons, but I’m sure some people do it.
And it was his choice so I have no issue with it, forcing it upon someone is what I take issue with.
I’ve heard that a lot. I’ve even had someone approach me after taking a public shower before and try to strike up a conversation about my bits. Sorry about your bits, brother.
It is what it is, I’ve come to accept it but I will never not be mad about it.
Thank you for the condolences.
I got the last laugh. I was cut as a newborn, but I still didn’t end up with the parts my parents wanted. They took a little snip. I went for the full origami of gender reassignment surgery. 🤣
Take it one step further, and invent an entirely new set of genitals just to piss them off!
I want mine to have pincers!
… To grab someone with?

What else would you use them for?
I went for the pretty standard fem package. But there are folks doing some pretty wild things out there now.
Really? I’m a cis dude and I haven’t heard of any of that from my trans friends, I’m genuinely curious. I couldn’t imagine what other designs people would go for. Do you like draw it up in CAD before hand or something?
they could have a “design your own genitals” kiosk like the “design your own building” ones at lumber yards.
I’m a binary trans woman myself. I just wanted the full standard package.
But there are varieties, mainly spearheaded by the nonbinary community. There’s zero depth vaginoplasty, where they make a labia but no vaginal canal. (Easier maintenance, ideal for lesbians with no interest in penetration.) For asexual folks or those with no interest in sex, there’s nullification surgery, aka the “Ken doll” method. And for the most exotic, the term you’re looking for is “Salmacian.”
Here’s a subreddit. Obviously NSFW:
“Sorry. We don’t read studies anymore. We’ve found the emotional inner knowledge of hunches and gut feelings appears to get us more money.” America under trump.
OK but it is still a barbaric practice and I don’t see why we allow it. Just because it is culturally accepted does not make it OK.
