Operations go wrong - no one worry about that in regards to Circumcision? I mean... the is a chance, a % rate, of these procedure going wrong and things getting messed on a scale of 'ok' to 'horrific'. Unless you really need the procedure for serious reasons, why chance it for yourself, or risk it for your offspring.

- My 3 y/o was detected with a condition in his kidneys before birth. Basically 1/6 of his kidneys are damaged. His foreskin was also not 'conventional' at birth.deadsperm
- The specialist we saw said that he might need a circumcision. He gets yearly checkups. When he turned 1 the specialist said it wasn't really necessary.deadsperm
- We would have been OK with either of his recommendations. We also benefit from universal healthcare.
My kid is #healthy despite not being on a keto diet.deadsperm - It’s a very simply and fast procedure (not much of an operation).monospaced
- It was still unnecessary in our case.
For health reasons according to the surgeon.deadsperm - He was getting paid either way.deadsperm
- @monospaced
To be clear: if you said a clipped tricked out dick looks badass I would have your back.
My only issue is claiming it's for health reasons.deadsperm - I don't see the logic in being anti-flat earth, anti-religion and being pro circumcision for health reasons.deadsperm
- I personally don't think anyone who circumcises needs to give a reason or make anyone satisfied with a reason.monospaced
- if their reason is for looks, or tradition, that's their own call and they don't need to answer to internet strangers who might not be happy with the reasonmonospaced
- Anyway, I wasn't talking to you. I was responding to the original post here from shapesalad.monospaced
- It's an irreversible decision so that might be where your militantism is coming from.
It's all good though.deadsperm - Believing in God, that the earth is flat or dinosaurs are extinct are also personal beliefs that need not be judged.
Matthew 7:3deadsperm - I'm OK with anyone acting like an idiot, I've done it many times myself, I will call them them out when they do it in name of science though.deadsperm
- militantism? not remotely. it's also not an idiotic decision.monospaced
- @monospaced
Honestly: I don't considered QBN members as internet strangers that's why it surprises me that you hold this position.deadsperm - Let's say that I respect your opinion and leave it at that.deadsperm
- I feel a lot of people around here are extremely judgemental and anti-circumcision, and are demanding some sort of reason for it, then saying there isn't onemonospaced
- I feel you, man. People act the same way about dinosaur extinction.
Live the truth.deadsperm - lolmonospaced
- Well, let's just say I was deemed in need of circumcision at age 5. But when I became a teenager I felt something didn't look right. Had to have it corrected atshapesalad
- 18 because it looked like it had been hacked by a junior doctor. It caused a lot of stress during my teenage years. It was more than likely not required.shapesalad

oh dear, i just google 'circumcision restraint board' (because, why not?) thinking i'd post ian image of one here.. and in the results there's a thumbnail of the board with a real fucking baby and bloodied genitalia.
*instant no, fuck off, ctrl+w
i really don't get why you'd do that to your kid, unless you had to.

- I wonder what the reaction would be if a man was hosting a program on breast augmentation. The Guardian is being pretty fucking tone deaf on this.zarkonite
- I dunno. I see this as a learning process on her part, so I think it was handled appropriately.cannonball1978
- Not bad, pretty much concludes the reality that it's done "'cause I want my son to look like me" or religion.formed

So "God" made us at his own image, is he circumcised?
Or did he made a mistake?
Like sorry guys, i've made a mistake while creating you, so could you cut that foreskin please, sorry for the inconvenience.- Which god?monospaced
- Yeah exactly, idiotic logic by the religerlous_niko
- nb0
Everyone has an opinion on this, but how many people here are circumcised and now wish they hadn't been? Are you mad at your parents?
- I'll go first. I'm circumcised and have never felt bad about it. Not for a second.nb

From 2001... Man Sues For Loss of Foreskin
https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story…
Given the choice, William Stowell says he would have kept his foreskin.
Since the choice was made for him, he is suing the hospital where he was born and circumcised for depriving him of "the pleasure of natural, normal sexual intercourse."
Stowell says his sex life would be much better if he had been allowed to keep his foreskin — the loose fold of skin that covers the tip of the penis. But his mother denied that to him when she signed a circumcision consent form in the maternity ward where she gave birth; she says now that it was a mistake.
- Hope he cashes in :)Gnash
- Interesting, but who cares about plaintiffs. Headline might as well be "Man argues that money will somehow help him get over his circumcision"nb
- This was settled privately over a decade ago.monospaced
- If women were forced to undergo general mutilation to reduce pleasure under the guise of religion or cleanliness or some buklshit there would be riots_niko
- Feminists would lose their shit and rightfully so. So why do we let boys suffer? Barbaric_niko
- No evidence that it reduces pleasure. Mild health benefitsnb
- Not true people who have been circumcised later in life report a great reduction in pleasure_niko
- I certainly am not suffering. Neither are most circumcised men.monospaced
- It’s a cultGnash

- Been here since the DAWN of QBN ... and just now I see that we have a Circumcision thread. The more you Know.Ramanisky2
- I was here before you.palimpsest
- QBN - where foreskins become contentious.CyBrainX
- Yay, the Male Genital Mutilation thread is back!
Ugh.Continuity - Love my circ. Would chop it again if I couldnb
- It's all good in the hood.utopian
- I don’t think anyone who’s circumcised would consider themselves mutilated. Lol.monospaced
- My body my choice.palimpsest
- I understand religious, cultural & even aesthetic reasons (looks dope AF). But nipping your churren for science is on a whole nother level.palimpsest
- Front page lolmonospaced
- @mono many rightfully feel mutilated, there are social movements based on this.
https://en.wikipedia…sofas - "I deserved it."palimpsest
- There might be some. Doubt it.monospaced
- Do you know who else doesn't feel mutilated?
People that weren't circumcised.palimpsest - Ear piercings are also a type of mutilation but it's for aesthetic reasons.palimpsest
- In South America it's culturally acceptable to pierce baby girls' ears. But we don't chop the lobes off for health reason. They learn to wash behind their ears.palimpsest

When you tell people anywhere in Europe that in America most men are circumcised at birth, the first reaction is always disbelief — you either have to be joking or were misunderstood.
- Why would you wilfully butcher your sons penis?PhanLo
- For science.palimpsest
- Also, username checks out.palimpsest
- LolYakuZoku
- the reason was for hygiene, now people are questioning that.doesnotexist
- There's no hygienic reason for it, that was just made up by people thousands of years ago who also believed in talking bushes.PhanLo
- Yeah, for hygiene.
In the 21st century.
"Not a belief system".palimpsest - I just read a story from a 16 year old who was never taught to clean the smegma from his uncircumcised penis. It was so caked that it damaged the nerves.mathinc
- Did he win the lawsuit?palimpsest
- hahahaha! Amazing.PhanLo
- It's improving. 58.3% of newborns are circumcised in the US. Eventually we'll catch up to the rest of the world. We're slow with that progress thing.formed
- It did not start because of "hygiene". That's trying to post-rationalize something that is archaic.formed
- Circumcision is retarded as fuck and gay as hell.crazyprick
- totally read that as "the first erection is always disbelief"fadein11
- it actually did start like that in the us. they circumsize everyone unless you explicitly tell them not to.doesnotexist

- It's specifically designed to create trauma early on so one can be callous and lack empathy in later life. It's child abuse.newcunt

- No. Because you are unhinged.
Take care bro.pango - You think I'm unhinged because I have different opinions to you. You people don't even understand your own stance. lolnewcunt
- there is different opinion. and then there's is relentlessly sharing ones opinion when nobody wants none of it.pango

Recently I was having a beer with some friends and this guy (not really a friend, more like “guy I know”) who wasn’t circumcised at birth said it bothered him his whole life so he went in to get it done finally when he was in his late 30s
He said he REALLY wished his parents had circumcised him at birth so he could have avoided all those feelings as a kid growing up and also not had to bother as an adult.
So yeah I guess parents can’t fucking win *shrug*

Albert Einstein.palimpsest - At least you can still get circumcised later. you can't get un-circumcised.sarahfailin

A good friend of mine who is Pakistani refused to circumcise his kids which caused a shitstorm with his ultra religious family.
- I hope they didn't sever ties over it.palimpsest
- He’s cut off nowGnash

- Personal stories like this that pull back the veil are important.Continuity
- lol I’ll sharia comments with him_niko
- As long as they don't go over his head.palimpsest
- Still, I'm happy to know your friend is standing tall like this for something he believes in.Continuity
- agree, lesser men would shrivel at the thought of going against tradition_niko
- Thanks for sharing, this is a problem that needed to be uncovered.palimpsest
- I suspect that this problem is a complex one, pali. I think you'd need to peel back the layers to really get to the core of it.Continuity
- You're right, there's no clean-cut solution.palimpsest
- Let's all just try to rollback a little here.fadein11
- But why, fadey? I'd like to think that progress only happens when we rise to the occasion.Continuity
- it's a clean cut issue to me.fadein11
