Anyone see the Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t episode on circumcision. Pretty disturbing history of this common practice in the US and much of Canada.

Personally I think its a barbaric, unnecessary practice.... any thoughts?

It is mutilation without consent and is exactly the same as female circumcision.

That's an exageration.

Female circumcision if done to the extreme as in some muslim countries, can make it almost impossible for the female to achieve orgasm, and leaves her open to more infection. I don't think male circumcision does this.

So is it not considered mutilation to remove parts of the genitals or is a baby able to give informed consent?

Exactly... it makes the male "more sensative" and the female case is the exact opposite...

It's all a matter of perspective. I read a problem page in Canada, where a doctor advised a young mother to have her son circumcised because otherwise he would get laughed at in the changing rooms by the other kids.
Yet here in Britain, circumcision is quite rare, and I remember one kid who was did indeed get laughed at in the changing rooms.

I don't know about you, but I don't give a flying duck what the chicks like - if it involves lopping off bits from anywhere - let alone from *there* - you can count me out!

Actually porn is mostly made for males, by males.

So the dudes in the porn aren't cicumcised because 'chicks dig it'.

It can contribute to problems of premature ejaculation (again the wioman is the one who suffers)

ok, few things to point out.....

uncircumcised men have an extra "motion" which is quite pleasurable.😳

circumcised is preferred only because we are adjusted to this as the norm. We are programed to believe this is somehow cleaner thus preferred.

The loss of skin covering the "head" of he penis desensitizes the area

Circumcision is not necassary to prevent infection.

Female circumcision is fatal in some cases.

They circumcise little girls of all ages (mainly 5-8 yrs i believe) usually without anestetic or steralized equipment. They remove the clitoris and sew up the vagina, leaving only a small hole to urinate out of. This is purely in order to ensure marriage.

Circumcision is a barbaric and outdated practise. But we are told this is the way so like the sheep we are we continue to mutilate and inflict pain upon our newborn sons (and in some cases daughters)

Like life isn't painful enough
