Circumcision Trauma

David Chamberlain Ph.D. of the Association for Pre and Perinatal Psychology and Health and James W. Prescott, Ph.D. discusses the trauma associated with genital mutilation of infants.

"The greatest crime against humanity is the torture and mutilation of children. Child abuse and neglect, particularly in its extreme forms, represents a form of torture and mutilation. Not commonly recognized as child abuse and neglect and a form of torture and mutilation is the ritual mutilation of genitals of children (male and female). One reason for the non-recognition of these crimes of genital mutilation and torture is their common occurrence and their support by religious and social traditions of various kinds. Another reason is the denial and/or indifference to the pain that is being inflicted upon these children."
James Prescott, Ph.D.
Developmental Neuropsychologist, Cross-Cultural Psychologist

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

@SpychoSpy I know the feeling but this planet is the only livable option. I hope you'll surround yourself with people you like and speak out against human atrocities.

I agree, women should always let their partners know first if they are circumcised or not.

@RavenousDawn

oh god no! scary women stay away!

yea i totally agree. should let your partner know first.

@kenseisato1989 In America, the problem I think intact men face are in the bedroom with girls that may be intimidated by an intact man, because they're not sure how to please him, how to give him a BJ, hand job, how a condom works, etc... they simply have no experience with a intact guy which makes them feel inadequate to pleasure him. So it's good to reassure her that it's perfectly natural and not much different. Just stay away from Jewish women, they'll want to have you circumcised. :P

@MasterxKenobi As a man who was cut at birth, lived part of my adult life without a foreskin and having "restored" a reasonable facsimile of a foreskin I can testify that having mobile skin on my penis as nature intended if far superior than the tightness left, that that quack "doctor" did to me as a baby.

If you've been derived of a sense you cannot know what you're missing, unless you try to understand.

@MasterxKenobi

Maybe you should stick to the facts and evidence and spare us the hyperbole?

"Well no one really has a point of comparison except those who got it done as an adult>

Well SCIENCE can provide an OBJECTIVE comparison--and it does:

@Bonobo3D Well no one really has a point of comparison except those who got it done as an adult. You and I are both apart of the same spectrum here. You have no idea what it's like to have a penis from the 'cutting culture' and let me tell you, it feels great to be apart of it. ;)

@Tandykane Lol. Yeesh. Alright extra skin was a bad choice of words. Should I've used the word not mutilated -- as you guys seem to say? HEY GUYS MY PENIS IS MUTILATED BEYOND REPAIR. SHOULD I KEEP MY SONS PENIS UNMUTILATED, TO SAVE HIM SO HE CAN HAVE A SEXUALLY SENSITIVE PENIS?!

I think not.

@MasterxKenobi
