Funny Infant Circumcision Documentary Part 3

Conclusion to this groundbreaking documentary on one of America's greatest taboos: routine child genital reduction surgery. What will your decision be?

"I have 2 whole sons, ages 5 1/2 and 2 1/2. We have always treated their penis the same as any other part of their body we wash except we omit soap near the tip. Not only do we not use any special care or intervention we also dont treat it differently than any other part of their body. When our oldest son hit about 4 we started to talk to him about privacy and his body and he became responsible for cleaning his own penis. As his foreskin retracts pretty far he is reminded to push it back gently as far as is comfortable and to rinse it. We didnt initiate the retraction, hes always been very hands on and was already doing it as it became possible. For our youngest we just do the basic exterior washing and he has no noticeable retraction yet, hes also less aggressive in his personal exploration. We have no concerns and have never experienced any health problems for them. As with conception, birth, breastfeeding and other physical issues, we view the bodys functions as natural and intended and follow natures lead."

........................

"Why lose the two most sexually responsive parts of a male body over it, the frenulum and the inner foreskin? They are far more sensitive than the head.
Even if anesthesia is used, once it wears off, the boy is urinating salty water on the wound. Circumcision increases the risk of buried penis, meatal stenosis (narrowing of the urethral opening), skin bridges, and MRSA infection.

The US, with all its circumcision, has a higher HIV infection rate than uncut Scandinavian countries, or other European countries. Circumcision is a money making hoax, that robs a man of feeling all that nature meant him to feel, while making the doctor and the cosmetics company richer. What other healthy body part do we routinely remove without consent, and resell to someone else? If washing is OK for girls, who have more UTIs and yeast infections, why is it not OK for boys? They both secrete the same substances. As far as the yuk factor with some American women, why is it that every representation of male beauty in art has a foreskin on it, from the statue of David, to the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel. Do you think, euwww, gross, when you think of Leonardo DiCaprio, Mario Lopez, Colin Farrell. Josh Harnett, etc? Its a felony to remove a girls foreskin in the US. but OK for a boy. Thats sexism. Besides, foreskins are fun, for both partners.

Dont forget about the problems caused by circumcision — post-surgery infections, for instance, and accidental amputations (it does happen!!). The rate of medical complications from circumcision is, Im fairly certain, HIGHER than the number of medical problems that it prevents.

The argument about cutting off a girls breasts just in case is a good one. While were at it, lets surgically remove the appendix and tonsils at birth, get it over with.

If youre more concerned about the annoyance of keeping the penis clean, lets go ahead and completely remove girls labia (not just the clitoris of female circumcision). And remove our fingernails, they're a pain to have to cut all the time. "

Bullshit is the best show ever!

I myself am uncircumcised

and proud to be

[ploothable]

OH MY GOD! when i first watched this i had no idea that Americans actually do this shit! THATS FUCKING DISGUSTING! i mean i had read a book on the tortures of cutting off the clit on African teenagers that most likely will die of trauma and disease BUT DOING IT ON A BABY BORN IN A DEMOCRACY THAT FEELS TRIPLE THE FUCKING PAIN!? fucking grow up america and stop forcing things on other people like performing circumcision and forbidding abortions!

[someguy672]

Today only 33% of babies are circumcised, so conformity is no longer a reason to for circumcision.

Misty, you don't want your son to feel like he's "less than," but you have no problem with him being & surely feeling like he's LESS THAN a man?

[bluecanary487]

I live in the States and I have a friend who didn't want her son circumcized but the doctor did it anyway. She and her boyfriend ended up suing the hospital. It is really barbaric that this is just standard procedure. I hope a lot of people saw this show because I think that the problem stems from ignorance and that most mothers wouldn't choose circumcision if they knew what it actually was. I don't have a son but if I did, I would definately take the whole baby home.

It's weird that circumcision is done in america to fit in. I remember a kid had it done in my class and lives with the nickname half dick to this day. It's a fucking horrible thing to do to someone, if they want it cut off later in life then let them decide.

[hoodmilk]

It sickens me when that pregnant chick said "i want him to fit in."

By mutilating his penis? Smart people don't fit in. Does that mean we should give geniuses lobotomies?

I FUCKING HATE FASCISM! It will drive people to justify ANY atrocity.
