BaronBarracuda: As I said before, he also commanded his people to slaughter the non-believers and loot their stuff. At least most of them decided that was a really stupid thing.

No, G-d didn't and no, we didn't.

You should stick to subjects you know more.

It's interesting how many people do support the idea that there is something wrong with males when they are born.

I had Snu Snu: BaronBarracuda: Tatsuma: Outlaw Thirds: If cops came in and caused problems for the circumcisers, whoever they are, I'm saying that it would push the practice underground, and inevitably lead to less skillfully preformed operations.

Well, not really it would just mean that the mohelim that we use would not act openly, but would be easy to find word of mouth.

Seriously, we managed to do this under the Soviets, do you really think cops in America would stop us?

Why is it so important to Jews that a small bit of skin is cut off of males? Once it might have been smart, in a place with lots of sand and little water and little concept of hygiene. But it's pointless now, all it is is for show.

Why is it so important to so many people to poke holes in chidren to insert shiny rocks and/or metals? It may have once served a religious purpose but has now just become part of our culture. Removing the foreskin really doesn't change anything, you people are really reaching here and while it is quite amusing it's grown somewhat pathetic. Nobody is telling you what to do with your children, don't tell us what to do with ours. They won't suffer any discrimination or think that mommy and daddy are ashamed of them because they circumcised them.

CSB: My best friend growing up wasn't circumcised when he was a child and decided he wanted it done in his 20's, he was a big tough guy and he cried like a little girl for days and repeatedly called his mother and yelled at her for not having it done when he was a baby.

Cool Story Bro Warning (and graphic):

I'm the victim of a butchered circumcision. The doctor had removed too much skin to the point a hard-on caused pain. It left me with a permanent urinary problem called meatal stenosis (ironically drastically increasing my chances of a UTI). Growing up like that, I simply got used to what was wrong, not realizing that what I was growing up with wasn't normal. I didn't think to ask my parents. One doesn't see the certain problems I had during infancy. Growing up when I had the urges and wanted to "indulge" it hurt a lot. I simply thought I was doing it wrong. When I actually bled once, I gave up. Wet dreams made me wake up in pure pain.

Perhaps there is some blame on my part for not looking into it sooner. Then again, since I had grown up like this, I didn't know what being normal felt like. I finally asked a doctor when I was 20 and we found out the problems. I spent two years of slow "repair work" shall we say, simply to get myself to a "functioning" level. I finally knew what pleasure was when I was 21. When I looked into legal action: it turns out medical malpractice's statute of limitations is three years. In other words, I was supposed to figure out by the time I was three that sex would hurt and I had a urinary issue.

I can't afford the surgery for the meatal stenosis. Various sources have its statistics at as low as 1% to as high as 10%. I tried to talk to my parents about it, but I was told I was being childish and instead focus on my studies (despite a 3.89/4 GPA). It has gravely affected my relationship with them, particularly issues of trust.

I will likely remain virginal and single my whole life. The various dates, when we get to that level in a relationship find themselves unable to deal with this aspect in my life. I had a run of about two years of anger about the issue, but I've come to terms with it all. I have my mind, my health, my friends, and my music. I am happy.

Others aren't as lucky as me. I spoke with one man who's beyond a level of repairing like I was. Others in my same situation though have completely broken their family bonds or unable to cope that they have been injured. It seems circumcision mishaps happen more often than we realize, and they only come to light as they grow older - sometimes after their doctor has passed away.

As I said, I'm content with life. I'm living full with what I've got. That doesn't mean I don't wonder though how things would have been different if I'd simply been left in one piece. I'd take the "risks" of a foreskin than living like this any day. But I'm alive and I'm here, and I'll live a day at a time. Perhaps one day my parents will stop pestering me on why I can't find a partner.

/end cool story bro. Sorry, long.

And most of the studies conducted report no significant change in sexual performance or pleasure.

Um as a woman who has had sex with a cut and uncut guy...

I rather go with the Uncut there is a a huge difference it feels so much better I came so much it just didn't stop. i seriously contemplating marrying the guy the next day.
