I’m not really sure what an Uncut looks like, but now I’m picturing it with a single comfort grip handle. ---

I felt a certain order to the universe when I noticed that this thread and the “Genital mutilation of young girls” thread are next to each other. I just hope people keep posting to both threads to keep them together. ---

I think it’s interesting that pro-circ (or at least anti-anti-circ) folks seem to so commonly assume the anti-circ crowd is entirely made up of circumcised men who are mad at their parents. First of all, my experience is that here in the U.S. it’s more mothers than anything. Secondly, what about the intact men who are horrified by the whole concept, because they actually know what they’d be losing? That describes me (and my two sons), and it’s almost got to be true of [Russell Crowe](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2832115/Russell-Crowe-weighs-circumcision-debate-Twitter-row-called-procedure-barbaric-stupid.html), born and raised in a non-circumcising culture. Surely we’re not the only ones! I’ve got to assume most European, Asian, and Latin American men see this debate (if they’re aware of it at all) and just go “seriously, WTF?”. ---

> [@Doughbag](#): > > Not sure either, but it certainly is different …and if you want a cite for that, you can look [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masturbation#Male). From that link: > [@](#): > > For males who have not been circumcised, stimulation of the penis typically comes from the “pumping” of the foreskin, whereby the foreskin is held and slid up and down over the glans, which, depending on foreskin length, is completely or partially covered and then uncovered in a rapid motion. The outer foreskin glides smoothly over the inner foreskin. The glans itself may widen and lengthen as the stimulation continues, becoming slightly darker in colour, while the gliding action of the foreskin reduces friction. Pretty good description IMO. (spoilered because probably TMI) When my wife gives me a hand job, or when I masturbate by myself, the thing that really feels good is the foreskin sliding up and down the glans. It’s not very dissimilar from the feeling I get from vaginal intercourse, because the stuff which is in contact with and stimulates my glans is warm, wet and alive. Not very unlike a vagina. Depriving my sons of that experience by having the part which is crucial to get that feeling cut off would, IMO, be a pretty damned shitty thing to do. How do you cut guys masturbate, or have your partner masturbate you, and how do you gals give a handjob to a cut guy? ---

Do you really not understand why someone would think that it should be up to the individual to decide if they want to have intact genitalia or if they want parts of them cut away, usually without anesthesia¹? That it’s immoral to surgically modify another person’s genitalia without their expressed, informed consent? If you don’t, you’re dumber than I could imagine. ¹ [Infant Circumcision with Anesthesia: Does It Really Help the Pain? - The WHOLE Network: Accurate Circumcision & Foreskin Information](http://www.thewholenetwork.org/twn-news/infant-circumcision-with-anesthesia-does-it-really-help-the-pain) > [@](#): > > A large majority of routine infant circumcisions are not performed with any anesthetic.

I think it’s the wrong approach to talk about all the non-anaesthetized circs, because it implies that if you just start using anaesthetic, everything’s hunky-dory. > [@](#): > > For males who have not been circumcised, stimulation of the penis typically comes from the “pumping” of the foreskin, whereby the foreskin is held and slid up and down over the glans, which, depending on foreskin length, is completely or partially covered and then uncovered in a rapid motion. Or if you have a particularly long foreskin, it \*never \*becomes uncovered except during intercourse without a condom. ---

It feels like the [XKCD bit](https://xkcd.com/359/) with the guy yelling for everyone to stop having fun because he’s trying to be smug and superior 😛 Eh!! He does! Food or drink does absolutely nothing for him in terms of enjoyment. It’s literally just filling his belly.

I know why it upsets you. But I also am circumcised myself, and thus know the ire is way out of proportion to the supposed crime. It is, when done correctly, a harmless surgery. And it does actually have benefits. You want to say it shouldn’t be done? Fine. But when you get all righteously indignant about it, I tune it out. Because I know it’s really not all that big a deal. I also know anti-circ is tied in with some bad things, like trying to claim it’s the same as FGM, which has no benefits and does cause damage. It’s also commonly used as an MRA cry, about how women have rights but men don’t. And it’s often used by those who advocate religious bigotry, as evidence that a religion is barbaric and wrong. And, while I’ve not yet seen it on this board, there are people who try to link it to rape, which is just insulting to rape victims. It’s just not. Ultimately, I don’t care what you feel about this. If you want to advocate for it being an adult choice, have at it. But do not try to play it up as worse than it is, and definitely do NOT hijack every FGM topic to discuss it, making it all about you instead of the women actually suffering. Oh, and don’t try to convince me that my life is somehow worse because I’ve been circumcised. Sorry, but it isn’t. I don’t need another thing to wish was different to decrease my net happiness. You will not convince me, no matter how much it bothers you personally. ---
