CIRCUMCISION: Did you know?

If women were getting circumcised for no good reason
Would you care to explain that procedure?

You never heard of a clitorectomy?
The girls clitoris is removed, cut out, surgically removed, just like a boy's foreskin is cut off. The idea is to keep her from that particular "g" spot.
It's an African practice, mostly east Africa, but is done as far north as to southern Egypt.

Disgusting, barbaric and unnecessary, as I think circumcision is.
Maybe these horrible things were okay centuries ago, but, today? Nope.

You're going to have a tough time selling that world-wide ban to Israel.

[Tennessean4Bush]

Barbarism. Hmmm. I'm not buying it.

[Fintan]

I still have occasional swelling.

 

That'll decrease as you get older.

[afnamvet]

Twenty skins a week and a chance to get a head. ; )

[starfish923]

Because there is no N.O.W. advocating for men's rights in this country. Lol. If women were getting circumcised for no good reason, the practice would ALREADY be ancient history.
I totally disagree with you. The people I see most against circumcision are liberal females.

Lol. If you really knew women, you would KNOW that 99.9% of all women on this planet, liberal, conservative or don't know, have absolutely NO interest whatever in circumcision.

It's most interesting that you talk with women about it. You must be quite an interesting person to have that subject come up in polite converstaion. In all my life (many decades of it) male circumcision has never, never, never, ever come up even once. I live in a very liberal city, work at a very liberal place, have some liberal women friends and am, myself, very conservative. And that topic never came up.
I'm not Jewish, so perhaps that accounts for it. Why else would it EVER come up in conversation?
PERHAPS, when I saw the "David" in Florence, back in 1975, I might have THOUGHT about it, but my friends and I were entranced with the butt on that statue, not the, er, frontal part. Other than the occasional Greek/Roman statues, the subject would hardly ever come up.

I had to put in a comment on the first page of the thread because it was such a novel thread topic.

".....say, why so much for a wallet?
Well......when you stroke it, it turns into a suitcase!"

You forgot this.

[P8riot]

I haven't heard that one in years. Mazeltov

[starfish923]

I've heard that too. It's less "trauma" for the woman, just in the mechanics of how it works. I mean, probably 90% of 6.5 billion people are uncirc. Why it continues here is beyond me. If you aren't a clean person, it doesn't matter if you're cut or not, you're going to stink anyway. The cancer bit is the same either way. Shrug. I don't and won't have any boys, but I wouldn't cut them. If it becomes a problem later, so be it. Let them grow up and have their own choice on the issue.

Well put.
You won't hear the circumcised back down. It's turned into an emotional thing and when that happens, brain turns off.

The foreskin wouldn't be on human males if it were bad for them. It would have been bred out by nature if it were.
If the foreskin were so evil, dangerous and stinky, 90% of the world's males WOULD BE circumcised, instead of the other way around.

We've learned to eat pork too. Jews, Arabs and Muslims still don't eat it. Well, neither do Hindus. HEY, that's more bacon, ham, sausage and pork roast for MOI!!!

Circumcision made sense if you lived in a dry desert environment with no dependable water source to clean oneself...other than for primitive reasons...nope seems archaic now.

[Nik Naym]

All over the world, male Freepers are wincing and unconsciously covering their crotch as they read your post.

[Blackirish]

Craig's List rants and raves...always a fun read...in Chicago has been debating this topic.lately....LOL...the vast majority of Woman prefer on the forum prefer cut....That makes me glad I am!

[itsLUCKY2B]

after my circumcision I couldn't walk for nearly a year.

But when it was done, I was only 8 weeks old. ;-)

[LauraleeBraswell]

One thing, Female circumsism was never okay, ever, centuries ago or today.


In some ahem...practices, it's sewn up as a sort of "chastity belt."

[beaversmom]

Saw this earlier. Not interested. I'm looking for a thread on public breatfeeding or pitbulls:)

[luckystarmom]

I'm a woman, and it came up as a topic when my friends and I were having boys. Some got their boys circumcised, and others did not.

[Slings and Arrows]

I'm not touching this one with a 10" pole.

[TigersEye]

If I was an adult male recently circumcised, I wouldn't be having sex again for quite awhile.

I'd wait a day or two myself. No sense rushing things.

[It's me]

I enjoy sex immensely and have absolutely no desire whatsoever to have a foreskin.

Ahhhh, but you don't really know what you are missing, do you?

[Full Court]

My parents were very upset. They thought we were crazy.

So will your son when he gets old enough to realize that his ***** looks drastically different than everyone else.
