Circumcision News Story (with a pros & cons chart)

[mindofown]

#i2 Get with the 21st Century = Safe Sex Education; Condoms; Soap & Water; Medical Ethics & Human Rights = End Infant Circumcision NOW!!

[TiniNormi]

No scientific evidence to back up feeling distressed, so that makes it okay? Are you fucking serious? There's no "scientific evidence" that killing someone will make their family members cry either, so I guess murder is okay. Fucking retards.

[Dontgetyouppl]

This is NOT a safe procedure ! Thousands of babies die from hemmorageing ! A baby can only loose an ounce of blood before they die . This is indead crule and unsafe !

[heathman8282]

@Dontgetyouppl i have honestly never heard of any baby dying from foreskin removal. and i have lived 17 years

[Zojidak]

@heathman8282 do a youtube search for circumcision gone wrong.

[HubZerO]

biggest con is that you cant fap LOLOL poor americunts

[shfbdfi1273]

The Hospital is only interested in $. I was against circumcision for my 2 sons. But my wife believed in the doctor more than me. The decision belong to our sons. If they want to do it. They can do it when they are older. My wife thinks that I'm intact because my parents were unsophisticated. Sounds like my wife got brain washed.

[confusedhebru]

@jasmynerene the US Constitution states that the state and religon should be seperate. your opinion is void.

[GreenGem24]

I always wondered about this. I honestly don't care for it. I feel bad for the men who don't want it.

[yungdee17]

@rocktoonist4567

ur a idiot kill ur self lmao

[Jambander481]

Its gods extra gift, why take it away?

[RaciouS91]

@Jambander481 u rite LOL!!!

[alisunoko]

if i have a son, i would let him grow up and decide himself wheter being circumcised or not

[drodga]

Lies, sorry to tell you all. NO benefite, NO justification, NO gains, the only winners are the ones making $ from this sick lie. You were robbed and duped though you probably didn't get asked permission right?! The sooner this barbarism ends, the better. PLEASE?!

AS a European, can I just say sorry to all the men who lost out? I truly am.

[MrQuagmire26]

Circumcision is human mutilation. What good human being is willing to torture their own baby?

There IS scientific evidence to prove that circumcision causes emotional distress. There is also scientific evidence to prove the foreskin has benefits. It protects the penis from abrasion, disease, and infection. It aids in sexual pleasure for both the male and female. The foreskin contains thousands of nerve endings, 70% of which are removed during circumcision. The UNcircumcised infant requires much less work to keep clean, while the circumcised infant is more vulnerable to infection.

[Roadracer987654321]

my kids are uncircumcised and fine.They are proud of their Foreskins.

[bhUganda]

The medical in the U.S. performs this procedure out of greed. The harvested tissue is sold to make very expensive skin patches for diabetics.

[edaj84]

@bhUganda as well as skin grafts and cosmetic creams

[321lawc]

You are talking from ignorance, you don't know what it would be like if you didn't have your dick hacked with a knife. There have been scientific studies done and it is a fact that thousands of nerves are severed and you do in fact not feel as much or as good. It's like saying after you were born and they blew out half of the nerves in your eardrums. There is no reason to do it and it only causes harm. It needs to be a decision for when a person is an adult, and trust me, no one would do it.

[drako168]

weve all heard the old saying, if its not broke dont fix it

[321lawc]

Do you not know human anatomy? You're not just cutting off skin, you're cutting off important parts of the body that make sex feel much better.

[321lawc]

Circumcision is IDIOTIC and DOES NOT HELP ANYTHING

[Xchevy95X]

I would def..NOT NEVER do that to a child..why? first they dont sleep them..and it really hurts them..second its not my choice, i will NEVER make that decision fo my son..third its awful in every single way..and finally fourth it makes their dick smaller and yet its true that they loose sensitivity so they take along time to finish...so im agiansstt it..

[drealgrin]

you mean become keratinized. reducing the sensitivity. It doesn't really increase size as the foreskin that was cut off would be much larger than the increased keratinization that would occur.

It's a net loss of penis size ALSO you lose sensitivity. so it's a lose/lose.

[drealgrin]

wow, pure dumbness here. no it does not give you a bigger dick. it reduces your dick size.

[drealgrin]

Wow, It's amazing that mainstream media produced a fair video that shows the anti-circumcision side in a credible light.

CNN rocks

[IbnNero]

mainstream media=middle class=jews="secular liberals"

[kleenex3000]

The PrePuce is indeed an amazing thing! Although its tip, the ACTUAL foreskin, protrudes only a little bit when the dingeling is flaccid, it can almost if not fully still cover the head during full erection. It is highly expandable (not elastic but it can contract/expand according to the requirements) One of its natural functions is to accumulate the male lubrication liquid which is produced during prolonged sexual excitation.

[kleenex3000]

Schoen claims: "Circumcision is one of the best health insurance policies you can give a son. A circumcised boy has a lifetime advantage over an uncircumcised one." A desperate attempt to make look CC serious. Glad that I did not receive this insane insurance and can insanely enjoy being intact instead LAWL. In fact I never had any olfactoric, hygienic or even medical problems with my PP.

[durbaniter]

My son is keeping his foreskin! Here are responses to my earlier questions:

I'll look different from him in many ways - taller, pubic hair - no reason for snipping!

If the other kids at school laughed at him for not shooting heroin, I would never have him inject so he could fit in!!

In conclusion, his foreskin STAYS!!

[drealgrin]

Very awesome start for a parent you are. Very much respect for you sir.

[RosieAndCo]

From all the comments that I have read, it is in my opinion that cut men are quite sensitive about their manlyhood, as they are not whole. Some get defensive and others are very mad at their parents for making that decision for them a long time ago. Uncut men at least have the choice, as a full-consenting adult, but rarely do choose to get cut. My husband is sensitive so much that I can't talk to him about it, even tactfully. But he did know that I would not stand to have our son cut.

[durbaniter]

Can anyone give a response to these questions??

Let's say I leave my son intact, what do I tell him when he asks why his penis looks different to mine?

What happens if my intact boy is in the minority when showering with his friends after rugby matches?

[Cameronec]

well first show him the circumcision, what did you spare him to undergo and look differently in shower is very stupid reason, btw more and more american parents refuse to cc their sons so what you call minority will become equal and then become majority,

[caissa222]

You tell him the truth. A doctor cut off part of your penis when you were a baby. In the locker room he tells others he has something they haven't and if they are disrespectful he can tell them to stop perving on his dick.

[elaine02270]

@durbaniter What happens if your son is in the minority when it comes to taking drugs?

[Cameronec]

If i start cut things off from your sensitive penis and tell you this isnt harmfull, then maybe you will beleive or not. Your full penis is sensitive, and by reducting its tissues i deprive your penis function and sensation and mutilate you. What about scars, if i would scar yur penis would that be mutilation? How much of penis do i have to cut off so t can be called mutilation.

[sleepytime1123]

how is removing the skin that keeps dirt off of the penis head cleaner? its obvious that people who make this claim are ignorant and don't bother to think for themselves.

[pdhwiayf]

yeah i think its kinda lazy gettin them circumsied instead of just eachin him how to wash. i don;t belive in god lmao but i respect you belive he is made like that by god :)

[pdhwiayf]

i agree, if a man wants to chouse to when hes older then i belive its fine but babys don;t have a chouse. no good parent would hurt there child ever.

[pdhwiayf]

i can't belive its legal eather its evil why do that to a baby :L its sick its so sick

[KingMacintosh]

My mother told me when I was younger she did it because my penis was cleaner and like everyone else, But she's a nationalist so everyone else to her is Americans.

I'd never do this to my child, My heart would ache of putting an innocent baby through such pain for a surgery that does nothing positive, only negative. But I'm moving out of USA anyways, I hate this country because circumcision is only one twisted and mutilated thing of American culture.

[MetalGearNaked]

Wow this really makes me feel ashamed to be circumcised.

Knowing that I had a part of my penis cut off as a baby :(

Awful. Just awful. My mom regrets it now and thank god.

[lochinvar00465]

They find NO VALID REASONS and yet they still allow it upon a non-consenting infant for no apparent reason? What a bunch of hypocrites! Quacks!

[MetalGearNaked]

Exactly!

Oh and I don't wanna have kids, but if I do for some reason I will NEVER have them Circumcised. EVER.

[lochinvar00465]

Maybe they don't know what is there, but believe me, they are curious...

And for "ED", circumcised men experience ED problems an average of 7 years sooner. You can't disrupt nerves and blood flow and expect to make no changes.

[jookieapc]

Nice of CNN to edit out the bit where the baby screams at the top of his lungs or was it because he was anaesthetised?

Either way the end result is mutilation. I'm tired of hearing people justify this ignorant practice with 'cleanliness'.

To quote the mother in this tape

"I think it's cleaner... and automatically good for boys". She's got no idea but continues anyway.

And yet she'd surely condemn the equivalent practice on females which is where the clitoral hood is removed.

[lochinvar00465]

"I think it's cleaner... "

Think again. With the opening exposed to the environment constantly, it can accumulate dirt/lint, which can lead to a UTI.

Nope, sorry, it is NOT "cleaner".

[MancSeanUK]

I have one friend who needed Circumcision for some reason in his early teens. Fair enough, his foreskin was deformed so needed to come off. But for everyone else, it is barbaric.

Another thing people forget is that when the penis is fully erect, the foreskin is used as extra skin to allow the penis to grow to it's fullest. Removing it reduces the length the penis can grow to. Guy's, don't do that to your Son's...

[Githyankee]

im still pissed after 37 yrs of being cut, cause as male as u age u lose senastivity. sure its great i can scrump for 2hrs straight but its harder to get erect and stay that way cause i cant feel much anymore takes more time & then tryin to stay hard is even worse i had to start wearing rings to keep blood in there. thanks mom im so glad u listen to other ppl to get me cut at birth! Dr say its a side fx of being cut

[lochinvar00465]

No emotional distress? Tell me this; does a boy who constantly wonders what was wrong with him when he was born, who always wondered why girls didn't also get "fixed", who always wanted his foreskin back constitute evidence of "emotional distress"?

Do the math.

[lochinvar00465]

Over a million defenseless babies every year in the US alone are mutilated without cause. And the whole reason it started with babies in the first place was because it gave the boy no recourse, no chance to stop it. Gee...thanks Mr Kellogg(NOT!)

[xXxYourFaceBitchxXx]

Does anybody have any idea how many men got circumcised when they were defensless babies and regretted it? If a guy who is old enough to make his decision and wants to get circumsised, fine but I think it's pathetic circumsising little babies. I saw one of the procedures and the poor baby was in so much pain. When I am older and I have my son, I'll teach him to wash not cut part of his penis off! "Oh doctor, my ear is infected what should I do?" Oh let me just cut it off! same as a penis

[Githyankee]

i agree the child should have the choich cause its them that have to live with it, parents should only have to chose their name

[manwithemeraldeyes]

im glad im from sweden. we dont mutilate our sons like this

[hagenttzd]

most of europe has gotton over this bronze age heinous act.

[pimp90650]

ALL PORNSTARS HAVE FORESKIN

[starmaster191]

I think that women whose husbands have circumcised penis have a harder time keeping their shape and then get fat.

[Ryan18181]

only if you dont wash, if you are circumcised dont wash for a few days and i bet it will stink just the same as anyone. Americans need to realise that this act outdated and unfair! Doi you still drown people for being witches?

[manwithemeraldeyes]

im uncircumcised and my dick doesnt stink.

Crosslocke69 seems bitter about having been mutilated. i feel sorry for u and for your barbarian culture

[luno44]

Why do so many people use the "look like dad" and "everyone in the locker room" argument? I've never seen my dad's dick and no on in the gym locker room saw anyone else. If this barbarism was done to me, it woulnd't have been for any good.

[heavens2betzy]

There are no pros, circumcision is just one big con. It is sexual abuse and ruins sex for men and women.

People who still defend routine circumcision are in denial, don't have all the facts, or are sexual predators.

Get educated, circumcision is genital mutilation and it's wrong.

[jonagere]

id like to stay uncircumsized. I agree with the fact that when ur uncircumsized is more enjoyable when having sexual intercourse. I mean, the chance of disease between circumsized and uncircumsized is very low. And if you clean ur penis like yeah its pretty much gone (chance for disease)

[aleciamichael927]

i think that in this day and age, circumsion is used as cosmetic surgery. There is no medical reason to cut it off. I know that that extra piece of skin makes the penis more sensitive to men so when they have sex it's twice as enjoyable. I'm just stating my opinion and anyone could say that i'm worng. but it's my statement.

[areseepee]

circumcision is genital mutilation, noone wants to admit it. It's only done to infants because they can't stop it from happening.

[Sonictel]

It takes 1 second to pull back the foreskin. An uncircumsized guy can pull back his foreskin and it can stay retracted for a long time. looking just like a circumsized guy. If a man takes a shower daily like all of us should then why would it be more hygenic for for him if he is circumsized. same water,same soap. that hygenic/easier to clean argument is pointless

[beefless]

if men had a choice to get them selves circumcised later in their life, NOBODY would. i have met people who wish they WERE NOT circumcised.

[intactivist1]

Have the girls/ladies you've known ever been with an intact man? Do they even know how a whole natural penis feels and functions? Do you? Do you think some sexually repressive dolt with a scalpel knew better than nature?

It may seem perfectly normal to you to be circumcised when all around you are circumcised, but that is part of the problem. As long as people are ignorant of naturally functioning genitals, the genital abuse of children continues, and is perpetrated by ignorance. Get informed!

[coltonwood14]

The religious aspect of circumcision is supposed to be about sacrifice. How is holding down a newborn and cutting it a self sacrifice/ covenant bond thing? I was butchered and now that i am an adult i am not part of those religions and they make me sick with there slaughtering of hundreds of milliions of ppl, corruption of society, propetuation of ignorance etc. and am deeply offended that i have made such a personal "Sacrifice" to theres bastard gods

[karelingab]

All of us cannot escape this truth taht 90%-94% of boys of all ages worldwide are permanently uncircumcised and many women of all ages loves uncircumcised penises.

[Sardonac]

It is simple to circumcise an adult, the surgery can be performed at your local hospital on demand. And yes, many women do enjoy an uncircumcised penis although global studies (most from new zealand) stated roughly 9/10 women prefer an uncircumcised partner.

[freedom0f5peech]

Here's what I don't get... I keep hearing them say the sensation is the same without foreskin. But then, why is it that ever sinse the age of 11, the most pleasurable way for me to masterbate is to massage the foreskin between my thumb and middle finger. i.e., it's where most of the feeling is!

[freedom0f5peech]

Hearing that doctor explain "I'm just going to remove this EXCESS foreskin now" makes me fucking sick!!!

[TheDarkMistress1622]

When my son is born there's no frickin way I'm putting him through that kind of pain. That's horrible and I would never let any doctor to that to my baby.

[fstgeorge]

Just as this video states, there is no sound reason for circumcision, and I believe it should be outlawed, same as Female Genital Mutilation is outlawed in every industrial country. This is a life altering operation, and no one should be able to force that on a helpless baby.

Jews, Muslims, and any other religions need to quit preaching about cutting babies, or kids, and instead teach kids of how to be kind to one another.

[samzz3323]

wat is the point of this!?

[antoniodamera]

circumcision is wrong anyway u cut it, no pun intended. stop this horrible practice!

[karelingab]

Circumcision is an evil and the most evil of all evil culture. We should ban circumcision hundred billion times more than the most hardcore pornographic materials in the most conservative countries. circumcision is the neurotic attitude. Circumcision is an insane. circumcision is an anti-peace culture. All males who are circumcised are came only from all countries were repression and the legality of prejudice strictly implemented.

[AlexiLaihoRules]

wow i didn't think this was such a big issue, i guess it is. I mean i guess the pain thing with babies is horrible but u seem very upset!

[BenSTA09]

dude clam im a guy i have no memories of the pain wuts the problem

[karlira11]

Americans' narrow-mindedness and prejudices is the only root cause of forcing boys to circumcise. We, the people of the World and universe should stop and kill the culture of circumcision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[skepticalinquier]

This is quite true. The USA with its money driven medical practice has really nothing to make it end.

So, the rest of the world should begin to engage the fight to end it in the USA !

[wombatstew1]

What the FUCK is WRONG with Americans??!!?? WHY is the habitual MUTILATION of babies in the least bit acceptable????@!!!! MORONS!!!!!

[sgdp]

Erm, not just Americans, for one. Genital mutilation is nothing new, occurs all over the world.

I agree that for a modernized country to implement it is against the grain, but it's nothing against the average Americans. Don't be so prejudiced and hateful.

[sarramei]

i had my son circumsised and i will regret it for the rest of my life. what a mistake! how could i have been so ignorant..its so sad that most of the people do it for such a stupid reason, so the boy will be like all the other men in thier family..

[EscapeSociety]

People who've been circumcised or had their sons circumcised are in so much denial how male circumcision is irreversible genital mutilation. That's why it isn't illegal yet in the states, yet females are legally protected from genital mutilation. Male circumcision is falsely advertised as having medical benefits like protection from current fears like HIV; not at all dissimilar to how male circumcision was advertised as a cure to masturbation, which was feared at the time.

[LOGICISGOD]

wHY IS THIS NOT ILLEGAL IN USA YET? Separation from religion and state, yhea right!

[Serostern]

@LOGICISGOD Because americans are retarded.
