Trolling aside, there are more arguments against than for, but I personally think that it shouldn't be an issue at all. Either way you're going to have to deal with possible enablers for an inferiority complex all through childhood and adolescence, and the state of your penis is not going to have anything to do with any of that. And, as shown by an above poster, there are just as many objective reasons for as there are for against. 50 cents one way, half a dollar the other. TL;DR: Quit finding things to draw lines in the sand over | ||

On a side note, I'm 100% sure circumcised penises have less sensitivity in the glan, I just could never wear a underwear in direct contact with my glan's skin. I tried for the experience and I almost cried after 3 minutes. Less sensitive means more stamina on bed, wich is good for your ego, but you have to stop being egoist and look at the statistics that shows that women tends to feel that the sexual act is more painful (and logically so, the clitoris and vagina are VERY sensitive). One the other hand I have to truly agree about the fact that it prevents Phimosis and Smegma. I myself had Phimosis when I was 8, they didn't circumcised me but it I still remember the hurt. People getting circumcised while they were baby and claim that it doesn't hurt because they don't have memory of it are quite blind folded... Of course you won't have memories of that... Edit : All the circumcised guys posting here doesn't seem to be bothered by it so I don't really see the big deal. In the other hand we have to be carefull on what we do on babies and young children and maybe waiting for the majority before getting into this type of "prehemptive" procedures. | ||

FGM is used to make sure that a woman can never have enjoyment from sex and is almost always done with malicious intent in mind. Circumcision is done because of possible health benefits and less complications. | ||

It's really, really not. It's also baffling to me that "it looks better" is actually an argument. What other kinds of cosmetic surgery do we perform on babies? And "I don't remember it" doesn't work for me either. I mean, I could punch ten babies in the face and none of them would remember it when they grew up. Still think I'd be arrested for punching babies in the face for no reason. But yeah, AIDS prevention in Africa is a much better reason for circumcision. Only problem is that it's nearly impossible to convince any fraction of the population to use condoms, never mind perform penis surgery on their newborn babies. Pretty much what this guy said. Everyone arguing for this is circumcised people who deosn't care about facts. Just because you're used to it and fine like that doesn't make it acceptable. Some people there are lol.... | ||

No duh, its a baby, the parents have the power to give consent to a child under 18. By that logic you cant start school until 18, because you're a minor and cant give consent, and your parents cant give consent either. You can drop out of school once you reached 18 / 21. Try getting uncircumcised. Also you seem to be under the impression that apparently parents are allowed to do anything with and to their children untill they reach 18 / 21, no matter how stupid or dangerous. Clearly this is not the case, almost any modern 1st world country will remove a child from your care if you are deemed unfit to raise it or if it is needed to protect the child. | ||

Pretty much what I'd say. And @ inferiority complex? Lol wtf, I doubt there's almost a single circumcised guy who feels that way. If anything, it would be the other way around, just based on being the only guy around who hadn't had it done. | ||

Its alot easier to keep clean, etc. There are alot of advantages to being circumsized I dont know why people say this. Your dick should be clean no matter what. It's not like you'll get dust on your dick out of nowhere. | ||

I think any discussion is useless. If you get it then fine, if not, who cares? | ||

I'm not against circumcision.I am against having it done to baby's due to being born in a family of certain religion or belief,same as I have a problem with myself being baptised while I was a baby, but that's just my view. As far as I am concerned,circumcision is mostly a cosmetic procedure(there might be some health benefits but I'm really skeptical about those) and shouldn't be done to minors,even with consent of the parents or if they even demand it. The OP is pretty bias tho with lack of information and sources. | ||

Are you kidding me? Have you seen an uncircumcised penis? No thanks. My wife wants to add no thanks as well. | ||

I don't think the conversation really needs to happen. Feels like a big inferiority complex on both sides of the argument. | ||

There are so many causes to take up in the world. You might as well devote your efforts to preventing Latinos from piercing their baby girls' ears, or the mindless mutilation of hair and fingernails that happens everyday. | ||

They're done for completely different reasons and is 2000x more traumatic for a female than a male. FGM is used to make sure that a woman can never have enjoyment from sex and is almost always done with malicious intent in mind. Circumcision is done because of possible health benefits and less complications. You should do more research on FGM. The term covers a wide range of procedures including those which are almost directly analogous to male circumcision. As for them being done for "completely different reasons"... rofl, no Proponents of FGM and male circumcision justify their preferred form of genital mutilation in exactly the same ways. | ||

It just seems like the right answer is "personal preference," except that since we do it to infants, they don't really have much of a say lol. | ||
