Is Circumcision genital mutilation?
I've been thinking about this for a while now, ever since Anonymous Member (kind of a funny title, considering the nature of this thread) made the comment about his sex life and how is SO would blow him if only he were circumcised. Personally speaking, I'm not circumcised and I'm damn glad about it too! I've always considered that circumcision is a form of genital mutilation, on par with a girl having her labia cut off. But this form of mutilation gets practiced in hospitals.
But what purpose does it really serve? Cleanliness? I keep my unit pretty spanking clean, even with a foreskin. So that argument is out the window. I think too, about sensitivity. I know I'm pretty uncomfortable if my foreskin gets pulled back and the glans of my penis rubs against my underwear. So I think about guys who are circumcised. Does that mean that either they just don't notice it anymore, or are their penises less sensitive than mine? Does that mean that I get more satisfaction out of sex, or that they can last longer before ejaculation? And since, I'm guessing, 99.99% of circumcised men didn't have a choice in the matter, does that mean that their parent's for whatever sanitary or religious reason made a choice about their child's future sex life?? Doesn't that sound like mutilation to you?
So, c'mon Men of the TFP (and ladies too), offer up your opinion/experiences about circumcision.
