I'm circumcised and I prefer it, but it's the only thing I've ever known, though smegma seems pretty disgusting. Really don't think it's too big a deal, there are much more serious procedures or lack thereof that happen without the child's consent.

I feel sorry for you poor bastards with uncircumcised penii. How you ever manage to please a woman I'll never know.

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

ahahahahah, I laughed hard on this one.
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.

Also comparing female genital mutilation and circumcision in the same thread is ridiculous. 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.

Circumcised people in this thread seem to think that it's some kind of inconvenient nightmare to clean yourself when you're not circumcised. 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....

I find it funny that many people are saying its done with out the babies consent. 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.

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.

My girlfriend thinks my circumcised dick is awesome, so I don't really care, lol. I've never been with a girl who was like "Damn if only you hadn't been circumcised!! t.t"

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

Why would you count both sides of a playing card? That's such a weird comparison -- it seems heavily slanted to bias the reader into making it think it's 2x the amount.

In fact, the entire OP is entirely one-sided facts and information. I can't take any of it seriously because I have no idea what's blatantly misleading and what's actual truth because you only provide information about one side of the argument and completely dismiss the opposite side.

He actually said

The claim that circumcision protects against HIV is based on 5,400 circumcisions protecting (perhaps) just 73 men. This is protecting a tiny amount of 0.014% of all circumcised men. (source from The Intactivism Pages)

So, is that not something from the opposite side?

He dismisses that in its entirety. One in a thousand is still 3 million people worldwide, but it talks down the point by saying "(perhaps)" and "a tiny amount." The OP is ridiculously biased.

1.Doesn't mean it didn't hurt like hell.
2.How would you know any different if you have been that way your whole life?
3.What's humane and what is not is pretty subjective a lot of times.
4.There's no clear evidence as to whether it is more of less beneficial from having nothing done and besides I don't even get the hygiene argument.If you maintain a good degree of personal hygiene than it doesn't really matter if you are clipped or not.
5.This is true.Only complaint I ever heard from men is that they are TOO sensitive and never the opposite.Being circumcised helps you last longer in bed and doesn't hinder you in any way that i can imagine in the long run during sex.

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.

Both sides of the argument are fucking retarded. The only legitimate claim there is, is that it's fucking painful for the baby, who has no choice in a permanently disfiguring surgery. Let us choose if WE want to get circumcised. Solves all the problems.

WTF? The OP is trying to tell me that circumcised men feel inferiority?

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

why do you care so much about other people's penises? keep your mind out of other people's pants..

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

Also, Diks, if you don't have a memory of a pain, then why does it matter?

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.

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.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

Shouldnt really compare male and female circumcision. One is just skin, the other is the equivalent of cutting off half the dick. The other can actually kill people as well.

I don't know why people just let the babies have their uncircumcised penis, and when they grow up, if they want it circumcised, they can. I was circumcised as an infant, but I don't really understand what the problem is lol. All I know is that I would probably prefer it this way, I don't like the idea of a torpedodick.

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.
