I was circumcised - and I am NOT happy with the results. We need a worldwide end to this torture and genital mutilation of children. Adults can cut, pierce or tattoo their own bodies if they wish.

I have the feeling that this is the beginning of an avalanche of such complaints.

@Chadolution

Think of circumcision this way.

A blind man is born blind, never had sight, never will. You try to explain sight to him with hopes that he'll understand it, but to avail. Technically he's not missing out on anything in life because life is what he made of it. Now replace all that with a man who was circumcised.

I myself could care less that I was circumcised and I have a question for you.

How could you not be happy when you've never felt anything other than that?

I felt this way before I watched this video, but if ever met one of these sick penis cutters I would get verbally abusive.

I was circumsized, and my parents arent even religious.

The idea that it is to keep it clean might had a point 2000 years ago... before we had access to soap and water... Take a shower! I'll break my harm before I cut away my foreskin... but this is my choice... not my parent's choice. Thank God I was born in Quebec.

Hi Jason, would have been great to have met you at this years San Francisco Pride Parade our contingent mgmbill / SFmgmbill marching Bay Area Intactivists plus people who just care about intact genitals and intact rights. How about marching with us next year? Want to sing? KOTFrank on twitter Frank McGinness facebook

(cont from previous comment) I would, however, like to correct something you mentioned in this video. you said that you believe most women who choose circ for non-religious reasons do so b/c they had just given birth and didn't have.the time or resources to make an informed decision. as a childbirth educator and doula, i can assure you that the reality is that most parents make an uninformed decision to circumcise well before the birth.

thank you so much for speaking out, jason. i hope your creativity and passion causes folks to stop and think about this harmful practice.
