I feel the same way about male circumcision as I do about female circumcision. It's horrible, torturous, and disgusting. It has no reasonable medical basis, causes immense pain, and drastically reduces sensitivity. There are cases where it is needed (phimosis) but that is on a case-by-case medical basis.
-Circumcision is touted as hygenic. Well, teach your kids to wash their peters properly and you won't have smegma issues! This excuse amounts to laziness, pure and simple.
-Babies are actually hypersensitive to stimuli when they are newly born. And besides, it is completely unnecessary pain to put him through. You want to subject an innocent male to that kind of pain, even if he won't remember it? Wow, that really opens up alot of doors for baby torture if that's the kind of logic you want to employ.
-The foreskin contains about 50% of the nerve endings in the penis. I'd say that's alot of pleasure he's missing out on. Second, the foreskin, like the clitoral hood and labia majora on a female, prevent the glans of the penis from rubbing against clothing and de-sensitizing it, so that's more sensitivity circumcised males are missing-out on. Finally, the foreskin acts as kind of a buffer, helping to allow the penis to slide back and forth inside a woman's vagina and the ribs that it naturally forms during the telescoping motion enhance the pleasure the woman feels.
So chicks, cut the fucking bullshit about it being 'prettier' cut. We don't cut your clits off when your babies (Somalians wait until you begin menstruating, then they do it with broken glass and rusty tin), and even if you get labiaplasty or some other stupid, ridiculous procedure later on to 'look prettier' at least it's with anesthesia. They're our dicks so if you have a problem with them then just fuck off and go back to your fucking colored plastic vibrators and tubs of chock 'o chunk ice cream.
This, as well.
I also really liked one comment I read once, comparing the use of the word "uncircumcised" to "unmutilated". Somehow it makes it sound like circumcised would be the normal state of a penis when clearly it's not.
