Why is a guy being circumsized considered the normal? [I Circumcision]

It's totally unnatural so why is it preferred over a natural uncircumcised penis. I don't understand why people would want a guy to remove part of THEIR body.
It's awful to have to do that to yourself just to be considered normal.
So why is this accepted?

I kid u not there are many children who lost some parts of their penis cause the doctor didn't know what the actual fuck he was doing 👀

@Meatboy and then their mom screaming 'what have u done to my child' 😖

@Nanori This is why we shouldn't have doctors doing any kind of surgery unless they actually know what they're doing. Anyways thanks for the very helpful comment, have a great rest of your day 👍😄

My foreskin has ten thousand nerve endings, why should i have it cut off?

helenS · 36-40, F

For Jewish and Islamic societies it's a religious ritual. (In my own opinion, it's a symbolic castration but that's only me)

Circumcision is difficult to understand in societies which are traditionally rooted in a Christian denomination.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic [quote]as far as I know it's for hygienic reasons because those cultures lived in hot deserts. [/quote]
I do not think anyone can seriously claim that the foreskin of a man's penis will lead to diseases in the desert. That's ridiculous.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Some say it is based on the biblical story in which Abraham was told by God to sacrifice his sone. Isaac was tied down to the alter and a ram was sacrificed when God spare Abraham from carrying out the sacrifice. Some believe the circumcision is a symbol of that act. The ritual circumcision in the Jewish religion is most often m=not performed by a physician, but by a person specially trained in the religious and medical aspect of the procedure, called a mohel.

There is some evidence of a health benefit, in cases of HIV/AIDS, in penile cancer, etc., but that is difficult to really measure given the many variables involved.

When i was in the military, I met with parents before their baby was born. I tried to convince them not to have their male infants circumcised. In the 2 years, not a single family elected to not have a circumcision.

No physician will do a circumcision without obtaining parental consent, and such physicians are trained in how to perform them!

People say hygiene a lot. I have come to the conclusion it’s because people are too lazy to take an extra minute to clean themselves or their child 🤷‍♀️ There is no real advantage. Any “risk” that being uncircumcised poses, is very little and you actually have a higher chance of getting a botched circumcision.

Meatboy · 18-21, M

@MorbidCynic Honestly yeah it's just laziness really

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M

Brings up the whole topic of shame. What is it and what's it's purpose?

Meatboy · 18-21, M

@Tastyfrzz True

Pretzel · 61-69, M

well there are religious reasons.
and then at some point "they" decided that it would make the penis cleaner and would keep boys from masturbating.

so it became the norm.

and like most habits - even medical ones - it's hard to change

Meatboy · 18-21, M

@Pretzel Yeah good point 👍

G00GLE · 22-25, M

I have no fucking idea. I ain't letting no knife close to my junk!

Meatboy · 18-21, M

@G00GLE Agreed 👍

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M

As the images of uncircumcised penises becomes more widespread and people are educated the practice will disappear. It's still too rare in many parts if the western world.

Meatboy · 18-21, M

@Tastyfrzz Yeah that doesn't seem to be happening. Especially in porn, practically most of the porn videos have circumcised penis's

helenS · 36-40, F

@Tastyfrzz Mainly in America I think. In Australia circumcision used to be quite common in the past (80% of all men were circumcised in the 1950s) but it's now down to <20%.
In Europe circumcision is uncommon.

Meatboy · 18-21, M

@helenS Again thanks for the very helpful info 👍👍

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Literally just watch practically any porn video, that's already enough proof that way more people prefer circumcision than you realise. So maybe stop living under a rock and actually check before you talk about things that are just straight up wrong, fact check things first
