that's a bunch of bullshit that babies don't even flinch when they get part of their genitals cut off.
We're sorry we know that nurses and doctors feed that line of bullshit to parents or they dope the kid up with anesthesia (which is very dangerous to do) and it's even worse when Jews and Moslems do it under the idea that it's for a religion when it's not even necessary for either Judaism or Islam and other ceremonies can be done in place of male genital mutilation.
You try getting part of your dick (or your clit if you're female) mutilated and ripped off and tell me that it doesn't hurt at all!
Actually, yeah it is a big deal if someone does it to their son. Children and babies don't have consent over it and you're mutilating his penis!
We find it weird that Americans abhor female circumcision in Africa and the middle east (as they should), yet they routinely practice male genital mutilation on male babies born in the US!
Welcome to the world son! We're going to rip off one of your most pleasure producing areas of your penis and make it so sex, masturbatory pleasure, and your penis aren't as sensitive and won't feel as good as if you had a full intact foreskin and all of the nerve endings there.
Men who have had their penises mutilated as children are restoring their foreskin and the male half of us is one of them. He has noticed a dramatic increase in his sensitivity but it's nothing like if he were actually intact with a real foreskin.
For the women it would be like if you were born and a doctor sliced off your clit or the clitoral hood and part of the labia because it was part of your parents bullshit religion or because they thought that a "natural" vagina that didn't have this type of surgery was "dirty".
female half: First up,it is done barbarically without any anesthesia within the baby's first moments of life.
The baby is strapped into a "circumcision board" like some guy tied into a St Andrew's Cross in Marque De Suade's Dungeon!
Next a Nurse Swabs the baby's penis with Betadine solution, then as she holds the SHRIEKING-IN-PAIN baby's hips down into the Circumcision Board,the doctor takes a pair of Pennington Forceps and clamps the end of the Forceps onto the end of the foreskin pulling it "taut" he then uses a pair of Surgical Scissors to cut around the diameter of the foreskin,cutting off as much of the skin as possible, there are two methods of closing the wound: one method is to Suture the edges of the cut skin to the crown (corona) of the Penile head, the other is to forego Sutering,and Cuaterise the cut edges of the skin with an electric "hot Scalpel",The baby's Penis is then wrapped in Guaze,and he is then taken to his Mother.
Does this sound like Barbaric Mutilation to you?
It sure sounds(and LOOKS!) that way to me,being a Physician's Assistant I've actually witnessed a few "Circumcisions" and it is a HORRIBLE thing to do to a baby who has only been in his new World about six minutes!
I believe if a few MORE American Women were shown a Color Video with sound of a Circumcision in progress,FEW if ANY American Woman would select that for her newborn Boy and "Routine Circumcision for American Boys" would become a thing of the past.
male half here: The bottom line is that infant circumcision is a gross violation of one's basic human rights.
All humans -- regardless of gender -- have a right to keep all of the body parts with which they are born.
I realize that, in rare cases, amputation of a body part may be necessary to safe someone's life. Infant circumcision is never done to save the child's life.
There is also a gender-based double standard going on here. If we were talking about amputating part of the female anatomy without consent, feminists would be up in arms. But somehow, male babies are not entitled to the same rights as females. Why?
If you are over the age of 18, and you want to amputate your pinky finger because you think it will look cooler, that is your right -- it is your body. If you are over 18 and you want a circumcision, it's your body. But doing it without individual consent is criminal.
I'd also like to mention that my restored foreskin is the most sexually sensitive part of my body...so we are not talking about "a little snip." We are talking about something that will negatively affect someone's sexuality for their entire life, even if it is restored.
