Circumcised or Not? [I Want to Know Circumcised Or Not]

@revenant I have read that between 70% to 80% of the males in the world are natural & intact (not circumcised).

Jews and Muslims circumcise their males for religious reasons. The USA circumcises newborn males for non-religious, non-medically necessary reasons. They do it for cosmetic reasons because people think it looks better. They also do it for profit. Routinely circumcising infant males in the USA is a multi-billion dollar per year business.

The problem is the infant boy has no choice about what is being done to his body / penis. I believe in “Her body her choice”. What about “His body his choice”? Shouldn’t boys have the same rights and protections to body integrity as girls?

@CallMeTex I absolutely agree with you. And circumcision takes away a lot of sensations in men.

@revenant Just so you know, my Mom is Jewish and feels the same way you do. My Dad, who is deceased, was an Irish born Roman Catholic and was intact (not circumcised) like most European men.

When I was born Mom had a Brit Shalom which is baby naming & welcoming ceremony without a traditional circumcision. A Brit Milah is a baby naming & welcoming ceremony with a traditional circumcision ceremony.

@revenant That’s what my Mom says and that’s why she would not allow me to be circumcised. My Mom is her own woman. My sister left her sons intact too.

@CallMeTex good on your mum 👍️. I got an ex, not jewish , who had to be circumcised for health reasns, nothing religious so that is where I got my info from.

@revenant I understand. Some men have problems later on in life especially if they are diabetic or if care givers forcibly retracted their foreskins when they were babies. This can do irreparable damage and cause problems for males when they are older.

Care givers and parents should never force a baby boy’s or boy’s foreskin back. Only the owner of the penis should retract his foreskin. Treat a boys foreskin like a baby girls clitoral hood. Leave it alone and only wash what is seen.😊

@CallMeTex yes he was too "tight". ah compare it to calluses on the hand !🙂

@revenant Yes, it is called phimosis and in most cases caused by someone forcefully retracting a baby boy’s or young boy’s foreskin before they are ready to be retracted.
