The How I Feel About Being Circumcised Thread that doesn't activate trust issues

In this thread I activated trust issues. People didn’t want to click on the link, they didn’t know where I was going and were not sure they wanted to find out.

All I have to say is that it appears to be a gross violation to alter my biological form without my consent. I don’t necessarily feel like I am missing out on anything, but rather whatever entity feels entitled to chop my body parts off ought to fuck off.

But I can’t do anything about it. Every time I take a piss I can be reminded that one must never trust anyone. Acceptance = happiness therefore rape me [Nirvana song]. But of course I don’t really mean it, I am violated and must proceed from there.

you know, when it comes to the things I worry about in my life, “why don’t I have a foreskin” is far down the list. Lower than “am I eating enough garlic?”

Foreskin? I don’t need no freakin’ foreskin

As long as it wasn’t done by your tattooed friend, who owns a declawed cat, and eats at Olive Garden.

Not to be too mean, but does this thread have a point?

Why do men always feel the need to post that they are perfectly happy with being circumcised in these threads?

Its wrong to perform elective genital surgery on infants for cultural/cosmetic reasons end of story.

Well does he tip or not?

Actually that may be the point of this thread. Er… Nub. Gist, that’ll do.

You should become a Buddhist. You’ll learn how to deal with* impermanence *and non-attachment.

Try2B Comprehensive, you should Try2B more descriptive when providing links. Most posters might be hesitant to click on a link with no description, especially one that has nothing but the title “Rape Me”. This was the main problem with your last OP as well.

I have included a better description of the link in your OP.

According to Samuel R. Delany’s novel The Mad Man, there are clubs that men join with the goal of restoring the foreskin. Through stretching and the use of rings inside the skin, apparently they are able to significantly lengthen the foreskin, even the guys who are “kike-cut” (to use one character’s term.) One man even had a foreskin down to his knees. While the novel is fictional, the author informed me that the foreskin part was, in fact, based on real people.

OP, why don’t you try to seek out one of these groups. Just Google “foreskin restoration” to start. Seriously - why not try it?

As another circumcised male I wish I could support your resentment of having been mistreated, but I just don’t give a damn.

I had it done as a 37 year old adult. Frankly, I wish I’d had it done as a kid. A lot less traumatic.

No I am not going to look into foreskin restoration.

Most of the time I don’t think about it at all. But if I do think about it, then I guess you can fuck off (not you, dear reader). Want to talk about your religion? Why don’t you quit touching childrens’ dicks first and then we can talk. I have a fairy tale for you in the meantime. Yeah, why don’t you chop off my hands while you’re at it (the link is to text of a Grimm Fairy Tale you pansies). If you really wanted me to keep clean and stay out of trouble you know what you should’ve chopped off? My head. But you didn’t, so shove your religion up your ass. Stick the Pope and Rick Santorum up there while you’re at it. There’s plenty of room for Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman and the 700 Club. And my shriveled up foreskin.

But who am I talking to? The wind I guess. Yeah, the wind can just go fuck off :rolleyes:

Obviously this procedure has done wonders for my health and well-being.

And: non attachment? Hur hur, good one. I guess I’ll take 3 OM’s and call you in the morning. Yes of course that would work, but if I were there I would not be posting now would I?

I bet they didn’t get your consent when they cut your umbilical cord, either.

That’s not really the same thing.

Tell that to the lotus birthers. :wink:

OP needs to get over it.

I feel a little guilty for having my sons circumcised but I knew a few people, including my brother, who had to have it done as adults or older children and they all said they wished it had been done when they were infants. My brother especially got his son circumcised because of the trauma he remembers of having it done when he was 6.

I read the book about the boy whose penis was destryed during circumcision and he was raised as a girl, after my sons were born, or else I otherwise might not have had it done.

You know, I do to. But you know what? Like the OP, we need to get over it. Not do it again, sure, but get over it. It’s hardly the worst way my parenting has messed him up, I’m sure! More likely it was some innocuous joke I made once that will have him in the therapist’s chair when he’s 30! :smiley:

I was circumcized as an infant, and it was VERY traumatic. I didn’t walk for a year afterwards.
