Cut Or Uncut

[xReLiNqUiShLoVe]

Yeah, but when you first get your period, they rip your shit out with a piece of glass.

At least they're nice enough here to do it before you can even remember.

And they do it to all women in certain tribes because they believe men are the only ones who should enjoy sex. They lose all sexual stimulation. It's not a "punishment," it's normal.

I knew a guy who was in the army and had to go there, he got mad at us one day and started yelling about it, long story.. but I know he wasn't lying.

I'm not saying either are exactly right, but don't ever compare them, 'cause that's a big difference.

Don't compare infant boys having their foreskins cut off to 11 year old girls having their labia removed? Why the fuck not? American doctors in the early 1800's listened to advise from religous leaders and started lopping off foreskins to keep boys from jerking off and going to Hell. In Africa, some tribes have done it for the reason you stated, while other's did it as punishment. Maybe others did it to make fucking labia earings. Who knows; it's all pretty sick when you start cutting off body parts of kids.

There. I compared them again.

I <3 my foreskin.

It wasn't about that. It's different because YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN REMEMBER unless you had it done when you were older by choice. How would you feel if the first time you got a boner, someone grabbed a sharp object and cut your foreskin off?

Niether are fucking right, but it's not right to compare them because it's different. Fact is, most people (besides Jews) without foreskin, didn't do it for religion or to stop them from jerking off or anything, they did it 'cause it was recommended. Yeah, I prefer it cut, but I'm not saying it's alright to do it. If they never did it no one would care. Whatever, though. I'm done on this, lol.

No one actually reads what I say, they just point out what they wanted to read.

I can't say that I have a preference...it's just a piece of skin for gods sake.

When my son was born he was circ'ed just because it was how things were done, all newborn boys were. But I wasn't completely informed back then either. If I had been, I may have made a different decision.

But like my husband said, it's all he's ever known, and he likes his pecker just fine the way it is.

I read it Hey, we all have our parts (or lack thereof). I mean, we can argue right and wrong here--but in the end, I say "Off with their heads!".

That was just an Elaine from Seinfeld...sorry

I love all of you...with or withour foreskin.

If the health insurance companies stopped paying for circumcisions, it would all but fade away, as it did in Europe.

Here's some more interesting information:

Pain, trauma, and memory

According to a comprehensive recent study, infant responses to pain are â??similar to but greater than those observed in adult subjects.â?�


Infant circumcision causes severe, persistent pain.


Some infants do not cry because they go into shock from the overwhelming pain of the surgery.
Infants rarely receive anaesthesia or post-operative pain management.


No anesthetic has been found to be safe and totally effective in preventing circumcision pain in infants. [A man circumcised in adulthood will be given the benefit of general anaesthetic, post-operative pain management, choice and informed consent over the fate of his own genital integrity.]


The persistence of specific behavioural changes after circumcision in neonates implies the presence of memory for the incident.
