Using scare tactics is only OK when you're using it to justify your point of view, I see. Hypocrisy has clearly blinded the author.

There is no attempt to be impartial whatsoever, and I do not see why it has been left open.

I was circumcised when I was young because Idk I had too much foreskin and peeing was difficult and messy or something. I never really asked because I don't really care. Most of my childhood, when I asked if I was circumcised I said yes and people laughed. When I asked what was wrong with that, they couldn't answer, and so I laughed. This encouraged people around me to not be afraid to say they are circumcised and not be ashamed about it. Then again when you're a kid you're ashamed of anything you do that ain't what everybody else does. You quickly grow out of it.

See, this is something I find absolutely retarded.

I was watching an american documentary about circumcision couple of years ago, and they showed a group of women discussing the whole thing. What they said was that they prefered the look of a circumcised penis, and several of them actually said straight out that they thought uncircumcised penises were gross and nasty. What the hell? Like, I don't even know what to say; the natural look of the penis is gross?

now i'm wondering whether you find the "natural" look on women attractive. armpit hair, moustache fuzz, happy trails, lots of shrubbery.

You fail to mention that uncircumcised babies also run the risk of Phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be retracted, blocking the urethra.

You also fail to mention that Smegma also grows under foreskins over time, even for uncircumcised men who regularly wash under the foreskin.

Having a foreskin doesn't stop a man from having a "dick that isn't calloused and scarred." Circumcised penises grow used to contact with the outside and clothes that allow the skin to toughen and adapt and desensitize in a way that uncircumcised males cannot because they have a layer of skin over the sensitive area.

As such, circumcised men have longer stamina during sex BECAUSE their sex organ is less sensitive.

Scarred is a perfectly accurate description of a circumcised penis.

Selective reading is the best. It's incredibly obvious the OP wrote the article knowing which he supported, and made no effort to hide his bias. Don't see any point in arguing that.

Why should he hide anything? He's not a fucking journalist writing a front page story.

What is female circumcision?! Seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about when you say "out little girls" and then say "whether it's a girl or a boy." What?!

Anyway, circumcision is a fundamental part of the Jewish religion. There is only one medical procedure described in the bible and that is circumcision. It is almost entirely a cosmetic procedure. Stop making a big deal out of it.

And where did you get that circumcised men feel inferiority? If anything, it makes it look larger and more robust. In fact, I've heard the opposite. Hell, I know a guy who's girlfriend actually broke out into laughter because she'd never seen an uncircumcised penis before, so he actually asked his mom if he could get circumcised. I have yet to hear of a woman who preferred an uncircumcised penis.

To be honest, I'm slightly offended by this hilariously biased OP. I'm not going to go into too much detail but I chose circumcision for myself and without it I wouldn't be having much fun in the bedroom, if at all. But yeah, circumcision obviously is devils work in any possible case. WTF man. What's wrong with you?
