It's been a long time since I literally read a post and laughed aloud. Hats off to you, good sir.

Nice username.

@AnachronisticAnarchy
I definitely don't think it's a conscious thing, either on the side of the parents or the children. But most of the foundation of our lives is not conscious to us.
I don't believe my post proved anything, nor do I believe I can prove anything to anyone. I'm just giving my opinion on what I think the significance of it is based on my personal knowledge and experience.

The conclusion you should be reaching is that foreskins are favourable to our survival. We are still finding out how perfect and and ideal the human body is, so it's pretty arrogant to say that you know better than millions of years of evolution (or even god for that matter).

I'm circumcised and view certain personal tendencies as potentially related to what I'm talking about. Using circumcision to justify your sexual problems... it could be any number of things but I doubt it's from the loss of a bit of skin when you were a few days old.
There's also plenty of relatively non-violent countries that practice circumcision. Korea for example is mainly circumcised and has really low levels of violence. Ancient Rome and Greece produced conquering warrior cultures whilst refusing circumcision. It's just a bit of skin, and its ridiculous to assert it's why modern day America/Israel and Islamic nations are violent. Something that happens so early in development is unlikely to have any impact imo. We get plenty of painful immune shots but I don't remember them till much later and the friend that says they remember stuff from when they were 4 days old is full of shit.

If anything I feel like foreskins are irrelevant to our survival and thus unlikely to be impacted by evolution. The human body is ideal in terms of survival but there'll always be parts that are ancestral relics that don't affect our survival (appendixes, coccyx, plantaris muscle, wisdom teeth, male nipples etc). Besides I'm not saying circumcision is/was actually necessary for health, just that's how I believe the procedure was originally justified.

It prevents things from entering the ureta. Every hole in the human body has some of mechanism to prevent unwanted things from entering and causing trouble, for the penis it's the foreskin.

Maybe when we we were walking around naked it had some use, though it doesn't cover mine. With the advent of clothes it seems pretty useless, it's not like the Egyptians and Hebrews died out from infected urethras.

Foreskin removal, especially the bris is because of Abraham. We can theory craft all day long, but in the bible, that is what it said. That said, people can think of biological reasons all day long since there are several to get a circumcision. There are reasons they are popular. Also yes, unlike a lot of the comments in here, people died all the time of random infections back when circumcision had its inception. Circumcision isn't solely a religious action, but its main purpose, at least for Jews, is religious. I'd like to point out that people have been getting rid of parts of the body since forever, piercings, circumcisions, etc. People hate on circumcision because it has religious consequences, but really all types of mutilation of the body (including things that most people consider harmless, like piercings) are based on what people like too look at.

Making it a taboo to compare male with female sexual mutilation is the biggest scandal of the controversy. In both instances the most sensitive and most erogenous zone of the human body is amputated and severely damaged. In both instances, what counts primarily is the cutting of human sexuality. The imposition of control by the patriarchy.

http://analytic-comments.blogspot.com/2012/10/michael-wolffsohns-foreskin-of-heart.html What is lacking in all the talk about circumcision is discussion of its archeological dimension - that it is the left over of human sacrifice.
Also, unfortunately it is / has been circumcision that has MADE for no end of anti-semitic sentiments. Freud found that it was the chief reason for unconscious anti-Semitism. And the myths surrounding it are at the core of the “blood libel.” Thus, it's time to eliminate the Brit Milah because if that is the chief reason for being anti-Semitic or anti-Abrahamic [Islam too practices the rite] then why hang on to this left-over of human sacrifice? that traumatizesthe child, cutting off 5,000 nerves, that is the equivalent of female circumcision in the sense that it eliminates everything but the clitoris,and only serves the UltraOrthodox to maintain their power? After all, reform Judaism sought to eliminate the rite in the 19th century, and Jewish identity depends on being born by a Jewish mother, or converting. Here a link to an archive of the entire German and then some debate, note especially Michael Wolffsohn's two pieces . Circumcision has been controversial also within Jewry forever.

LOL this is fucking amazing.

I'm not going to touch the religious aspect of this, but circumcision is scientifically proven to decrease pleasure during sex because it numbs the area of the penis that the foreskin is intended to cover. The foreskin has a purpose: to cover the head of the penis so as to heighten sensitivity instead of (in the case of circumcision) constant rubbing/contact which leads to numbness and less pleasure/sensitivity
I'm not circumcised but my brother is, and I feel bad for him sometimes

That's fairly interesting - I imagine that parents who would have one kid circumcised would be likely to circumcise their other kid too. What happened?

It was more amazing once I fell in love and decided to ask her to marry me to hide the ring at the base of my shaft under the foreskin so at the moment of climax I gave her face twice the love. Plus she is saying "yes" anyways, so it's sort of entrapment, but it worked for me!

I was born in another country where circumcision is not as widely practiced. When I was about 2 years old, my dad went to America for his job, leaving me and my mom behind. My uncle wanted to bring me to the hospital to get me circumcised but my mom was unsure about the whole idea and never asked my father about it, which is why it never happened. We came to America when I was about 4. My brother, on the other hand, was born in America and the doctors performed the procedure on him right there

I can't say I've ever really given a shit that my penis doesn't have a foreskin.

Or it reminds you that even God can't protect your penis.

The circumciser takes on the role of God, and he gives a message to the child:
"This scar on your body will always remind you that I am all powerful and you are powerless. It will remind you that your body is not yours. It belongs to me, and what I give I can take away."
If this is what they meant, I must admit, it is a forceful, elegant way to exert power, and to command fear and obedience. Do you think something like this might have been running through their minds?
actually was invented because sand would infiltrate the prepus and hurt the man (was mostly found originately in desertic places).
