Well thank god for you, all those other humanitarians worrying about poverty, squalid living conditions, starvation and the like, at least you are there for the penis!

The existance of worse crimes does not preclude concern over any lesser crime.
LOL except it's not a crime.

Pertinent definition of crime (from m-w.com):

2 : a grave offense especially against morality
Yeah and?? I seriously doubt there is a significant number of men snipped at birth who consider themselves wronged. Tell me are you snipped?

Check out NORM. Tens of thousands of men belong to that organization and are restoring their foreskins. There are also dozens of products on the market for that purpose. The makers can barely keep up with sales.

So yeah, there's a small and growing number of men who are pissed off about being cut. And that number grows as people learn it is totally unnecessary.
Wow one more nonsensical thing to obsess about:laugh:[/quote]

QFT, seriously. Get a fvcking life people.

No I'm not circumcised.
Wow what a surprise:roll:

What's the relevance?
Because it seems that only those for the most part who are concerned about others getting circumcised are those who aren't. It's almost as if you define yourself by your extra foreskin.

It seems like to me that the more rabid anti-circumcision people are the circumcised who want their foreskins back, like NORM. It also seems like to me that you are trying to discredit me simply because I'm not circumcised. Then you try to discredit EatSpam because he's an avid anti-circumcision advocate who wants his foreskin back. Therefore the only people you are willing to debate on this matter are the circumcised who do not want their foreskins back and are fine with circumcising infants. In other words, the only people you are willing to seriously debate with on this matter... are those who already agree with you. Brilliant.

How odd is it that this topic has attracted this many posts, this quickly?

I am circumcized and don't feel wronged, but I don't think I'd do it to my son. It seems to me like a completely unnecessary infliction of pain on a baby, and it removes more than half the nerve endings in your penis.

Circumcision seems to me like yet another area in which religion has interfered with our lives in an effort to prevent us from enjoying ourselves. It seems to me that female genital mutilation is motivated by the same rationale as circumcision, it just hasn't achieved the same market penetration. Obviously it's worse, but it seems to me they're very comparable in terms of being totally medically unnecessary genital mutilations that reduce sensitivity.

Okay Red Dawn, discussing this with you is pointless.

Ah.....so you just have absolutely zero education on the subject......I excuse your ignorant viewpoint then. You either haven't read a single thing about circumcision or are recklessly ignoring the medical benefits because you WANT to villainize "religeous traditions".

Why no organizations recommend it? None seem to be suggesting it be prohibited either.

kogase, even though I don't agree with your view, I can say that Red Dawn makes want to join your side. Granted, not all pro-circs are like him.

Discussing the pros and cons of foreskin on ATOT is pointless where the majority get off to their hand. Take TitanDiddly for example. He was crying about losing sensitivity, and he's a virgin. :confused:

Who says I'm a Pro Circ? I just can't understand these fringe kooks and their obsessions with others penises. I don't care if a parent has their male infant snipped or not, it's their decision, not mine or these Nutjobs.

And here we have the crux of the argument. So many people's opinions of circumcision are tainted by their anti-religeon viewpoints. It's like admitting there are benefits to it is somehow lending automatic legitimacy to religeon.

SELDOM does an anti-circumcision argument not mention religeon. For good reason.....anybody saying there is no medical benefit is ignorant or lying.

You don't have to. Just give baby a somewhat regular bath, and there are no problems. Don't retract the baby's foreskin, ever. That introduces bacteria, feces, whatever and THAT'S what causes all the infections you hear about. In other words, keep it simple, pretend its a finger. Baby will retract his foreskin on his own when its ready - and by the time it is, he'll be bathing himself.
<-- has a nearly 2 year old son with his foreskin, no infections, and no problems.

OTOH, if you circ, you'll have to monitor the wound, rub his penis wound with vaseline, apply gauze, watch for infection, etc. The penis wound is soaking in urine and feces. Then you have to watch for adhesions, meatal stenosis, etc. Meatal stenosis only happens in circumcised boys and is the result of the trauma. The opening of the urethra basically closes up with scar tissue, causing painful urination and requiring surgery to fix. This can take 5 years to happen... and the occurance is 1 in 10.

It seems to me that a circ'd penis is much higher maintanence in a baby.

Funny that you cannot produce a link to a medical organization that recommends it. Go ahead, name some benefits!

Typing mistake. :roll:

You know nothing about me or my girlfriend.

Why are you jealous that I am getting some ass and your not?

Don't ever change. You're precious.

I'm uncut and I have never had an issue with keeping it clean. Foreskin was originally removed to make masturbation harder for kids. Don't give me that cleanliness BS. If you don't clean your penis, cut or uncut, you're going to have problems.

The medical benefits are so slight versus the cons that I regard them as one big red herring. There would also be a medical benefit to giving the baby full-body permanent laser hair removal - no more ingrown hairs - but the benefit would be so trivial that it is obviously outweighed by the cons. I see circumcision the same way. The "benefits" of circumcision are essentially all either based on junk science or obviated by reasonable hygiene, and there is just as much data showing greater problems in circumcised children.

I don't care if other people circumcize their children, but I would never do it, and it seems completely stupid to me. If that makes me anti-religious, I can live with that.

leon94 is just a troll with no life or girlfriend. Post a pic of you and her holding up a sign that says ATOT on it and I'll be satisfied. Of course, I will bet $50 that he doesn't do it at all.
