  • I believe that even MORE important to consider than the aspect of pain is the violation of the boy's Human Rights to his own body. That seems to be forgotten about in most discussions even tho THAT is the FIRST thing that should be thought of. Don't boys have the SAME right to keep their whole body as girls do? The 14th amendment insists on THAT.

  • The Legal-Fact on Forced Foreskinectomy

    The practice of MGM [also] in this country [ the USA ] violates numerous laws and international treaties, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN Convention Against Torture, the Constitution and Penal-Law.

    It is in violation of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which GUARANTEES EQUAL-PROTECTION for both girls AND boys under the law.

  • It's a cosmetic surgery . A lot of people are so ignorant abut this subject.. boys where born with the foreskin for a reason ! My son is not circumcised .. if he has a issue with that when he's old enough he can do it himself.. I don't understand why people don't research before they allow this unnecessary procedure to take place on their infant. In Canada they are becoming aware of this and a lot of places here do not do it.

  • @Babyfullable yes I am so glad canada is not as bad as the states.. but im happy parents in both countries are slowly becoming more aware and choosing against it. female mutilation is illegal, hopefully they will change the law to not be sexist and include male mutilation as well.

  • believe me I dont know what you saw or what it was made I was there and they were given pain relieve so they didnt feel any thing during the procedure

  • Gen 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

    Jesus was circumcised and he turned alright

  • they do do it in the UK

  • I have 4 sons and they were all circumcised and all fineand suffer no ill effects

  • @gadiwan12 im relieved that they didnt suffer any severe physical effects that u did not want,, but sad to say there is sexual dysfunction that results in all cases, as well as psychological effects :(

  • The CIty of San Francisco recently tried to pass a law to make circumcisions illegal in that city. When the Governor of California found out about it, they passed a state law to PREVENT circumcision from being outlawed! Outrageous.

  • No one gives a shit about men and boys. Women are treated like precious diamonds that we need to protect at any cost. Being male ultimately means you are worthless and have far fewer rights.en have mo control over their own bodies and have no reproductive rights. Society controls these things for you!

  • Circumcision is child abuse and torture. But wait, Jews HAVE to be allowed to circumcise babies because raping and torturing small children is part of their religion.

    People who are pro-circumcision need to be called out for the bloodthirsty savages and perverted child molesters that they are. They need to be shamed into stopping. Being polite and afraid to offend people will not shame them.

  • They got to Legally BAN "Routine" Male circumcision. Plain and simple.

  • Thanks for speaking up and going against the flow. I never knew it was like that so now I'm in the know thanks to you caring enough to take the time to make this vid. I only have a baby girl so I'm glad I didn't unknowingly submit a baby boy to this!

  • Thank You for your video. To answer one of your questions hospitals sell babies foreskins without consent to pharmaceuticals and cosmetic companies.

    Skin Medica and Vavelta use infant foreskins in there product.

    Imagine if a cosmetic company told parents this is what we want to do, cut off your son's foreskin and put it in our product !!!

    A doctor can do it get payed for the circumcision and then sell it to the cosmetic company.

    Infant circumcision is WRONG WRONG WRONG on so many levels.

  • Did you know, infections are much more common in females, yet we are not amputating parts of their genitals. The myths need to end. The foreskin is a normal body part that all babies are born with - in girls it's called the clitoral hood. The male foreskin protects the glans (head of penis) and the female clitoral hood protects the clitoris. Keep your baby intact...and don't retract - only clean what is seen. Wipe like a finger.

    End the myths and lies uses to promote forced mutilation.

  • Circumcision damaged my penis. I would NEVER force genital mutilation upon my child!

  • Thank you for making this video. I remember the first time that I saw one of the procedures on the web and I was and still am disgusted with society for going along with such a useless procedure. I was a victim of this disgusting act of torture. In almost all of the countries in Europe, it is illegal because the doctors were being sued for complications including death. You might want to look up female circumcision in America. The University of Chicago did those until the 1970's.

  • I was in the room next to where my first son had it done and I didn't hear anymore crying then he was doing before he went into the room.

  • Circumcision is rare in Europe. It just isn't on a parent's agenda to subject babies to circumcision, and most European urologists would refuse to perform non-therpaeutic circumcision. I don't know what's up with North American parents.

  • If you are on Facebook there is a group there I am a part of calked E.R.I.C. end routine infant circumcision. I feel as passionately as you about it. It makes my blood boil and my heart breaks for these baby boys suffering this pain and abuse.

  • I agree with you 100%! I have a son who I planned on circumsizing due to my ignorance on the procedure. I saw a video of it just two weeks before he was born and I was shocked and sickened. So glad I kept my son intact.

  • My friend had too much removed as a baby and had adhesions and a deep scar from his circumcision. Even his girlfriend thought it was messed up. Sometimes too much is removed which can cause painful erections and other problems.

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for speaking out, Jill!

    It's only by sharing this info with our friends, family, and the general public that people will learn and ultimately stop forcing unnecessary genital cutting on their children.

    laws may come, one day, but until then.. the important thing is to educate!

  • check out happehtheory . com.

    end circumcision!

  • phimosis is a false disease! there is no medical reason for it either! the foreskin is attached to the glans from birth, and may not separate until the age of 21 or over. leave penises alone!

  • circumcision should be banned. the parents that choose to have there children cut. don't know what its like and some of them wont watch a video of it being done. the doctors that push circumcision don't give you time to do research. but now with the internet every where people are becoming aware of what a barbaric torture circumcision is. circumcision rates in the US have fallen below 50% from 90%+ in the 1980s

    check out freedom0speech channel he has some good videos about circumcision.

  • @madbr3991 thanks for sharing those stats.. Im glads that it shows people are becoming more aware of the truth and not just trusting the doctor and word of mouth that it doesnt hurt the baby..

  • Jillbiggs - in an infant boy the PrePuce is still fused via a Membrane (Synechia) to the Glans. The American physicians dishonestly call this an "adhesion" as if it were a pathological situation. Then they go with the scissor that serves them as a Probe,into the PrePuce,and perform separation, which is VERY painful.The torn Synechia then appears as a whitish material,and sometimes it is - even more dishonestly - called "Smegma". American physicians are very clever if you understand what I mean.

  • (2) IF I went into bed with a man (never say never) to only discover, that his anatomy is not complete, at the most erogenous location, I would be very disappointed, since I know how good my PrePuce feels. You understand, I would want to tickle the most heavenly sensations outof my partner that this gives me the THRILLS. Upon this consideration I it disturbs me that some Females appreciate the partially skinned, desensitized broomstick: They degrade themselves to egoistic receivers.

  • Nothing wrong is,w/ the PrePuce.I have no probZ from it (quite the contrary...) and, what decency forbids me to explain,is the true reason why it is cut off "asap" before the boy even DETECTS it. I warn you and everybody that reads this: Advocates for this atrocious surgery have AN AGENDA. They do not have the manly PrePuce. This includes females too. No female will admit, that they would appreciate that the male be totally deprived from noncoital pleasure. Hygiene? It is "spiritual cleanliness"

  • jillbiggs

    I fully understand what you are going thru. I never would have this done to my own child even tho. like you. I had no idea what it was. Words fail to describe the horror and shock I felt when I found out how it was done to me. It is something that pierces one to the depth of their soul.

  • i think circumcision is really positive, but also think it's cruel to do to infants. probably four or five years old is the best time, unless it's medically necessary earlier. my parents never got me circumcised, and i was always angry for this. at 19 i got it done for curiosity/cosmetic/social reasons, and can now say that not only is it cleaner, but it also improves the sexual experience.

  • You should take a look at the paper that Canadian physician Arif Bhimji, MD wrote on infant circumcision. It is really powerful. He has a website that the paper is referenced on, along with letters he has written to the Canadian medical associations and even provincial health ministers.

  • You have "that feeling".....it really should have a name....it's really intense at first isn't it... it's one I have had since I first realized what really happens.

    Your wrong on one thing though...you CAN make a difference. This video helps!

    

  • Personally, I think the fact that a humans right to a body part has been taken away without consent is the worst part of this. He has to live with that loss for life.

    The foreskin has many functions, one of which is pleasure. In fact, virtually all of the fine-touch nerve endings are on the foreskin. Without it, a man can only feel pressure, pain, vibration, and temperature. No fine-touch. That's a clear human rights violation, and I still can't see why it's not illegal in every country.

  • Your shock reminds me of the shock I had when I first found out that this was still happening. I stayed in bed for several days, because I couldn't believe that I lived in the world I had just found out that I lived in, where people sexually abuse children (only male, girls are protected) with sharp objects.

    It's interesting how you seem mostly bothered by the pain the boy goes through. That's a horrible thing, but imagine now that the boy has to live as an amputee for THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

  • @freedom0speech thank you. I feel more bothered by the pain I guess because being circumcized seems to be a social norm.. like nothing outta the ordinary.. Dont get me wrong I do believe a boy should make that decision for himself.. but since it is a social norm that doesnt bother me as much.. if they had proper pain relief and did it to them I would still be against it, but I dont think i would be as horrifed.

  • @jillbiggs

    Thank you for the video and the reply. I hope you will continue to speak out on this issue. Thanks again.

  • Circumcision removes the most sensitive part of a man's penis. The five most sensitive areas of the penis are on the foreskin. The transitional region from the external to the internal foreskin is the most sensitive region of the fully intact penis, and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis.

    Fine-Touch Pressure Thresholds In The Adult Penis

  • Oh, and you mentioned that they "sew it back up" after cutting, they don't sew anything. It's literally like a very thin ring of tender skin where the foreskin used to be connected. No sewing necessary. And the penis is not "skinned" as you put it. The foreskin is extra skin that lays around the head of the penis. Skinning something would mean leaving it without skin which is completely NOT the case.

  • @VegasDiamond28 Thanks. I thought I saw them pull the skin back and then the insides of the penis was exposed with no skin.. maybe I saw it wrong and it was just all the blood running down that made it look like that.. They do scrap the membrane that hold the skin together off, that just looked like skinning to me.

  • @jillbiggs There is no scraping, they just pull the overlapping skin back. it's not attached, there is no need to scrap it off. It's smilier to when you take a glove off, you don't have to scrape off a glove since it just lays around your hand. then the part that connects the skin to it is where the cut is.

  • @VegasDiamond28 sorry to go on and on about the issue, but there is scraping.. the foreskin is not able to be pullled back on a new born, it is still attached to the penis with a membrane.. u are only able to pull it back when the baby is a couple years old..

  • @VegasDiamond28 u should watch a video of it being done just so u can get an insight for what it is. Im not trying to argue I just want people to be more educated about the process. I may come across as rude but its just because I have a real passion for babies and I really dont want them to be hur

  • I ment to say in my response that my husband said it was not as simple as just cleaning it, excuse my typo.

  • my child can & most likely help my son in the long run, then I think it's in his best interest to do so because I'm a great parent that is dedicated to the complete well being of my children. Hope I gave you some insight to this topic since I've been through it.

  • @VegasDiamond28 couldnt you do it when hes a few years older to recieve the proper pain relief? why is it done when theyre newborns?

  • @jillbiggs I previously answered this a few times already.

  • put no pressure on us and we talked about the pros and the cons. I understand that it's hard to understand especially since you're not a man and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But, to say that ppl that do this are committing child abuse is unfair and far fetched. Is taking your child to get their shots child abuse, too? Shots as circumcision can be viewed as optional as well in that sense (until they get in school, of course). If a 5 minute surgery that was painless to..

  • @VegasDiamond28 and im sorry but didnt he explain to you that you could achieve all of those benefits if you just washed it?

  • @jillbiggs My husband was circumcised around the age of 6 and said it was as simple as just cleaning it. The overall hassle and discomfort was enough to want the surgery and it was a relief to him once it was done. He wishes it would have been done when he was an infant because the healing process was really difficult to deal with.

  • @VegasDiamond28 there is a vast difference between giving a child vaccinations and circumcision. vaccines (shot after this) prevent the illness that they are designed to prevent with a 90%+ effectiveness rate.

    also shots don't remove any healthy tissue from your body. shots don't decrees the sexual sensation. circumcision does both of these. circumcision fail as a vaccine they cant even find any illness that it prevents that cant be prevented by safe sex and hygiene.

    circumcision is RAPE

  • @VegasDiamond28 circumcision PAINLESS far from it. circumcision is more painful then a tattoo. circumcision is so painful that most babies go into shock and pass out during it. its the most sensitive part of a mans/baby's body. most of the time they dont use drugs. if they use drugs they are not very effective. its very clangorous to use any drugs on a baby. and then theres intense pain during healing. if circumcision was done to a grown man without consent and no pain meds it would be torture.

  • @VegasDiamond28

    Watch my video VegasDiamond28. Say that to me. I dare you. The surgery is very often performed without anesthetic because the neonatal physiology can't handle it. How many circumcisions have you witnessed on babies? I'm afraid to tell you that that foreskin is very much fused to the glans at birth, and that "skinned" and bloody look of the glans is a direct consequence of tearing that membrane. It is like removing your fingernail with a blunt probe. I still hear the screaming.

  • far less painless at that age and a lot easier to care for the cut, within about 2 weeks it's healed. I've known men that got circumcised as adults cause of related issues and it was quite painful. My husband was very adamant about our son being circumcised as he was and has known men that weren't so he was well aware of the benefits & wanted the best for our son. We discussed it thoroughly amongst ourselves & w/our doctor. We have a fantastic doctor that told us it was completely up to us, he..

  • @VegasDiamond28 I'm just curious, what do you think are the benefits of circumcision? Did your husband get circumcised as an adult, or was he done as an infant?

  • @utoobmark He got circumcised at around the age of 6 and said it was torture. He says before hand it was an irritation to use the restroom and remain his level of hygiene. He says it was a relief after wards and was much easier to care for himself and doesn't regret having it done for one minute. If fact, he wishes it would have been done at an earlier age so he wouldn't have had to go thru the pain.

  • @VegasDiamond28 "...before hand it was an irritation to use the restroom and remain his level of hygiene." This indicates a pathologic situation. NOT the normal state with a healthy PrePuce. There is no medical proof and evidence, that the PrePuce per se, would effectuate inconveniences / difficulties in hygiene. What did the Doctor diagnose, before he even suggested, to have your Son circumsliced?

  • @VegasDiamond28 Easier to care for? So basically you don't trust your son to wash himself. You really think that a baby can manage pain better than a full grown man who understands where he is, what is happeneing to him and why? It seems to me your husband insisted upon it simply to justify his own circumcision.

  • I'm not sure what video you watched, but they do numb the area before doing this. My son was circumcised and the area was numbed, he didn't cry or get upset at all. He was calm. There were no tendons exposed or any of the such, the skin that's removed is only attached at a small section so there's only a small rim of tender skin where the cut was. The healing process is very fast and while my son was healing he had no signs of discomfort. The reason they do it at a young age is cause it's....

  • @VegasDiamond28 oh wow im glad your son didnt cry at all! all the videos I watch the babies are always screaming like theyre dying or something.. But if the numbing is adequate pain relief for surgery y wouldnt they just do that for all surgeries since it causes far less complications and monitoring then putting someone under?

  • @jillbiggs The pain relief wouldn't be adequate for other surgeries because this procedure is not as abrasive as, for example someone having heart surgery or something far more serious as such. I would think that would be an obvious observation.

  • @VegasDiamond28 "Numbing the area" cannot erase the fact that people who did not respect your son's human rights cut part of his penis off.

    Circumcision is the theft of the most erogenous part of a child (and the man he becomes) penis.

    There is no excuse for this medical abuse. Circumcision is a sex crime, a violation of a child's integrity.

  • @Bonobo3D That's your opinion and I respect people's opinions. But, I would have to disagree.

  • @VegasDiamond28 The inherent human right to body integrity is not just "my opinion." This is expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    Your son will grow to have his own opinions about his own body. It's his body, not yours.

  • You do know speaking out against the criminal act of infant genital mutilation in America is equal to anti-Semitism?

    Just wanted to give you a fare warning! ... :O)

  • @SHUTDAFU Id say its anti child abuse..

    

  • @SHUTDAFU Religion should be illegal aswell....

  • @SHUTDAFU would you say organisations like Jews Against Circumcision, Jewish Circumcision Resource Center or The Israeli Association Against Genital Mutilation ARE anti-semitic?

  • @LethalDozePL These groups are most certainly being watched with some concern e.g. by the ADL.

  • Male circumcision is an unnecessary, harmful, painful, risky procedure. There is no national medical organization in the world that recommends routine infant circumcision. It is a form of genital mutilation because it permanently damages nerve endings and amputates the only moving part of the male sex organ. To cut normal, healthy body parts off of any child is a serious form of abuse. All children, regardless of gender, have a human right to genital integrity.

  • OMG at 1:51 I had to stop this video . . . this is so sad.
