Germany just made it illegal! Thank you, Germany, for a little bit of sanity in an insane world.

I have lived in the USA for most of my life. My uncircumcised penis has never caused me any bother. When I try to tell Europeans about how many babies are circumcised here in the USA they are like "there's not THAT many Jewish people in the USA". They cannot comprehend why it would be done if you don't have those crazy belief systems.

Ich habe eine Vorhaut.

People still claim health benefits from circumcision. Why? so you too can mutilate your kids? One nurse told us (about our newborn) to pull the foreskin back regularly to clean underneath! Craziness! The doctor told us pull it back no more than enough to expose the tip for any cleaning. That foreskin stays put and seals off the rest of the head until you are horny enough in puberty to pull it back yourself (not very painful when you are horny, believe me). This is probably similar in function to the hymen in that it makes for a smaller chance of an infection.

As a circumcised Jew I still don't get why you cut so many there in the U.S... though in my own perspective, I must admit, when I see an uncircumcised penis, I find it funny looking... but that's just me! (and the rest of Israel)

I'm rather attached to my foreskin... I have wondered if a lack of foreskin would result in desensitising the glans, that would suck.

i dont like circumcision but i enjoy the look... i don't know what i would have chosen had i the choice

Damn, I was hoping to be the first one to comment meaningfully about this subject: seems I came up short (zing!).

I am circumcised. My lady friend and I (who have been together more than five years) have discussed at length (oh! I'm too good) whether I would want a son of mine to be cut as well, so I have mulled this over quite a bit.

Being a nonsuperstitious man (read: nontheist), the only consideration on side of cutting my offspring is that moment in the shower when he is two years old and he asks, "Daddy, why are you different?" (Heading off those who do not yet have children in the close family, I should say that bathing at such a young age with the older crew is not uncommon no matter what your culture.) For a son to see that he is truly, physically different from his old man is probably quite a shock.

Here is the bottom line: I have ZERO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER telling my son that I was cut because of a superstition; that my penis looks the way it does because of a superstitious bond between my parents and their imaginary friend. I am in fact quite excited to tell my young man that there was a time when this kind of thing was necessary so that people could feel closer to whatever it was they thought made the universe. I am excited because it will engender in him the same cynicism that took me more than a decade to discover.

My own father was born and raised Catholic and went to Jesuit schools from pre-K to law school. As Jesus-loving and God-fearing as he was on the surface, he made sure to let me know the barbarism is barbarism. To imagine that genital mutilation is part of a legitimate religious commitment is so far out of whack with current legal and cultural norms. Fuck circumcision and all its superstitious implications.

I'm not ashamed to admit that my circumcision was performed incorrectly (or at least my parents didn't monitor the healing process correctly) and I had a rather odd looking gentleman until just recently. It was a hassle to keep clean, and although none of my partners ever mentioned it, I've always been self-conscious about it. As a parent, I was extremely careful in making sure that my single off-spring didn't suffer the same fate.

The good news is that when I had my vasectomy done, the doctor offered to "take a little off the top" and correct the problem. The healing process was not pleasant, but I'm very pleased with the result. The amazing thing is it was all done for the office-visit co-pay.

Hence your username?

I almost had an small adult circumcision for medical reasons (simply TOO BIG for the foreskin), but me a doctorman decided that we didn't have to cut too much, and just did a little snip thing. YOU HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED FEAR UNTIL BLOOD RUNS FROM YOUR PENIS!

Anyways, that was an example of an actual good reason for getting it. Mutilating children with this is just barbaric. We don't cut off parts of the ear, just because we get earwax, or because we have to "hear the word of God" - but we do if our earlobe gets skin cancer.


Reason, people. Germany has it. Well, they do now.
