I'm so upset that my genitals were mutilated when I was born by a certified professional medical doctor. It's literally genital mutilation - hey let's give every baby boy this syk body mod that makes their penises lose 90% of their sensitivity! Why is this okay?

Is a class action lawsuit viable? Who would be sued? What would the compensation be? I'm Canadian - is it worthwhile to write a letter to send members of my parliament to suggest a bill banning non medically necessary circumcisions?

We all agree that religions were invented so that the people wouldn't be raping murdering fuckers and also to establish the family unit, right? So what was the point of calling for foreskin excision? So that men wouldn't be as keen to go around fucking like crazy since their dicks feel nothing?

As I just showed you, this is false. Study after study shows that removal of the foreskin has no effect on sexual function. You are just making a teleological fallacy that contradicts the evidence.

Eyelids actually serve a significant function. The foreskin does not. Only a delusional ideologue would compare the two.

We test on rats because they have similarities to humans. But if they do not have similar foreskins then other similarities are irrelevant. Again, rat foreskins, like most non-human mammal foreskins, are penile sheaths. Human foreskins are not penile sheaths. The only purpose in posting a study on rat foreskins when talking about human foreskins is to mislead people.

JOURNAL OF SOCIAL HISTORY, Volume 27: Pages 737-757

In summary, it can be seen that doctors in English-speaking countries introduced widespread circumcision of male infants in the late nineteenth century. At the time this innovation was justified largely in terms of discouraging masturbation, then regarded as a serious disease in its own right and as the cause of many more, but this rationale was increasingly overlaid by others in the early twentieth century, including protection against syphilis and cancer, freedom from phimosis (seen as a problem mainly because it was thought to provoke masturbation), and a general contribution to both moral and physical hygiene. To justify circumcision on the ground that it discouraged masturbation was to acknowledge that the operation reduced the sensitivity of the penis and curtailed sexual pleasure, a powerful argument to use at a time when most respectable people believed that excessive sexual indulgence was morally wrong as well as physically harmful; mainstream paediatric and child care manuals continued to assert the value of circumcision as a disincentive to masturbation right up until the 1950s.

With the advance of the sexual revolution in the 1960s (by which time routine circumcision survived only in the USA, Canada and Australia) this ceased to be a strong selling point; if a doctor there wanted to persuade parents to let him amputate part of their baby's penis he now had to reassure them that the procedure would significantly increase health without noticeably reducing sexual functionality or pleasure, and the original logic of its introduction was lost in a welter of social, aesthetic and medical rationalisations.

That doesn't respond to what I said, retard. You're going around in circles. There is nothing biased about the metastudy I posted. It does not choose data based on the conclusion. Your website clearly does. The metastudy I posted distinguishes between studies based on their quality. The website you posted does not.

I can see several issues with the website you posted. For one, it focuses on many studies of adult circumcision, not infant circumcision. Many of the studies it uses to claim that circumcision causes impotency or premature ejaculation are based on insignificant sample sizes. And it contradicts itself by claiming that the foreskin is both the most sensitive part of the penis and protects the most sensitive part of the penis (leading to the conclusion that circumcision miraculously causes both premature and delayed ejaculation)

And then there's stuff like this
>Hooykaas et al. (1991) reported that immigrant (mostly circumcised) males have a greater tendency to engage in risky sexual behavior with prostitutes as compared with Dutch (mostly normal intact) males.

Abstract
Objective: Based on converging observations in animal,
clinical and ecological studies, we hypothesised a possible
impact of ritual circumcision on the subsequent risk of
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in young boys.
Design: National, register-based cohort study.
Setting: Denmark.
Participants: A total of 342,877 boys born between 1994
and 2003 and followed in the age span 0–9 years between
1994 and 2013.
Main outcome measures: Information about cohort members’
ritual circumcisions, confounders and ASD outcomes,
as well as two supplementary outcomes, hyperkinetic disorder
and asthma, was obtained from national registers.
Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs)
associated with foreskin status were obtained using Cox
proportional hazards regression analyses.
Results: With a total of 4986 ASD cases, our study showed
that regardless of cultural background circumcised boys
were more likely than intact boys to develop ASD before
age 10 years (HR¼1.46; 95% CI: 1.11–1.93). Risk was particularly
high for infantile autism before age five years
(HR¼2.06; 95% CI: 1.36–3.13). Circumcised boys in non-
Muslim families were also more likely to develop hyperkinetic
disorder (HR¼1.81; 95% CI: 1.11–2.96). Associations
with asthma were consistently inconspicuous (HR¼0.96;
95% CI: 0.84–1.10).
Conclusions: We confirmed our hypothesis that boys who
undergo ritual circumcision may run a greater risk of
developing ASD. This finding, and the unexpected observation
of an increased risk of hyperactivity disorder among
circumcised boys in non-Muslim families, need attention,
particularly because data limitations most likely rendered
our HR estimates conservative. Considering the widespread
practice of non-therapeutic circumcision in infancy
and childhood around the world, confirmatory studies
should be given priority.

Morris and Krieger’s recent claim [1] that male circumcision has no adverse sexual effects misleads the reader.
By downplaying empirical studies that have reported adverse sexual effects (often by selectively citing Morris’

Morris and Krieger reach a conclusion that defies common sense.

The transitional mucocutaneous region of the foreskin is the most specially innervated part of the penis. This has been proven by histological analysis.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1464-410x.1999.0830s1034.x/pdf

The glans is a protopathic structure primarily innervated with pain receptors (free nerve endings).

The foreskin (particularly the ridged band and frenulum) on the other hand has a great deal of specialized nerve endings, primarily tactile corpuscles.

There are ten times as many encapsulated nerve endings in the foreskin than in the glans.

So dangerous is this particular part of the normal male anatomy, according to Morris, that it must be removed from a child’s body before he can form his own opinion.[5]"

Uh no it isn't. It's right in the paragraph you quoted:

So CIRP is literally saying that circumcision caused immigrants to engage in risky sexual behavior with prostitutes. A far more rational interpretation of the study would be that immigrants display different sexual behavior from native Dutch because of cultural, socioeconomic, and educational reasons. Not because they are more likely to lack a foreskin. But apparently CIRP is so desperate to reach the conclusion that circumcision is bad that they will represent just about anything as evidence.

>Histology of the male circumcision scar shows amputation neuromas, Schwann cell proliferation and the bulbous collection of variably sized neurites. Amputation neuromas do not mediate normal sensation and are notorious for generating pain. Animal studies show that extirpation of the external genitalia results in acute retrograde degeneration of the nerve axon back to the spinal cord [96]. Therefore, the changes in circumcised male sexual behaviour [81] may be related to a central nervous system alteration by retrograde axonal degeneration, or to peripheral nervous system damage by loss of the prepuce ridged band and amputation neuroma. It is assumed that amputation neuromas also form at the female circumcision scar, although we are unaware of a formal histology study.

No it doesn't. If you have limited access to water, no specific surgical training, and no knowledge of germ theory, amputating healthy genital tissue is one of the most insane, unhealthy things you could possibly do.

It never made sense as a health measure. And in children, the foreskin is self-cleaning. It's fused to the head of the penis in children--there is not even a space between the glans and foreskin where debris could collect until the dissolution of the balanopreputial lamina.

Wrong. The primary sensory structure of the penis is the dorsal nerve. Pick up any anatomy textbook and it will tell you the same.

The foreskin is innervated by the dorsal nerve, and the dorsal nerve, without its normal amount and types of nerve endings, cannot mediate normal sensation.

>The male prepuce has somatosensory innervation by the dorsal nerve of the penis and branches of the perineal nerve (including the posterior scrotal nerves) [35,36]. Autonomic innervation of the prepuce arises from the pelvic plexus. The parasympathetic visceral efferent and afferent fibres arise from the sacral centre (S2-S4), and sympathetic preganglionic afferent and visceral afferent fibres from the thoracolumbar centre (T11-L2). The parasympathetic nerves run adjacent to and through the wall of the membranous urethra [35].

CIRP is by and large a database of studies, although they do publish their own articles as well. I don't believe they claim that the glans (which is generally covered by the foreskin) is the primary sensory structure of the penis. If they did they would be mistaken, because the glans is protopathic.

The foreskin is where you will find the lion's share of fine-touch sensitive encapsulated nerve endings in the human penis. The glans is protopathic.

Still, they did not state that the corona of the glans is the most specially/highly innervated part of the penis. It seems to me that in this case, CIRP is simply reporting the findings and hypotheses (note their use of "may" in this area) of various authors, rather than making original claims. I'm not familiar with Zwang's report, and therefore am not really in a position to comment on his findings or hypotheses.

It's worth noting that there is a lot of variation and change in how much of the glans the foreskin covers during erection and intercourse, and what parts of the foreskin (which all have different patterns of innervation) go where on the erect penis, from one man to the next.

However, that the mucocutaneous region of the foreskin itself is the most specially innervated part of the penis has been shown by dissection and histological study, and its sensitivity to gentle touch has been demonstrated by monofilament testing (Sorrells et al, 2007. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17378847))

It destroys the sensitivity of the parts of the penis that get cut off. This is very obvious. You cannot remove tissue and still have normal sensation in the tissue that was removed, period.

>the fact that Americans can't even masturbate without lube should be enough evidence.

This has more to do with the "tightness" of the circumcision. Men who were loosely circumcised will have an easier time masturbating without lube than those who were tightly circumcised.

In the past, many doctors (such as EJ Spratling) recommended very, very tight circumcisions to impede masturbation as much as possible.

More recently, anecdotally there are a lot of reports of babies getting loosely circumcised, but this is leading to its own set of problems (such as the parents of the boy having to rip back the remaining foreskin as it tries to re-adhere to the glans).

That's true. But the glans of the penis is innervated similarly to the eyeball--and both the glans and eyeball are protopathic.

Ejaculation and urination are not the only functions of the penis. Male sensuality is not all about ejaculation. There is the gliding action (which is reduced or, in the case of tight circumcisions, eliminated). There is the stretch reception and fine touch reception of the ridged band, which is ruined by circumcision.

Yes, it does. The foreskin is an organ of perception; it is the most specially innervated part of the human penis. No other part of the penis is as rich in specialized sensory end organs as the mucocutaneous parts of the foreskin.

The foreskin also provides a rolling bearing to facilitate masturbation and intercourse, it helps provide enough tissue for the penis to fully, expand during erection, and its musculature helps the penis to make positional adjustments.

There are different levels of tightness when it comes to circumcision.

The tightest circumcisions completely eliminate the gliding action during erection, by putting the remaining penile skin "on the stretch" (in the words of Dr. Edgar Spratling, quoted below). Looser circumcisions still permit some degree of skin mobility during masturbation.

>In all cases, taken as they come, circumcision is undoubtedly the physician’s closest friend and ally, offering as it does a certain means of alleviation and pronounced benefit, granting as it does immunity from after-reproach. Those cases in which the glans presents a moist, semi-oily appearance, with papillae strikingly developed about the corona, long thickened foreskin, pliant and giving, large and often tortuous dorsal veins, go to make up a picture that is exceedingly tempting to the surgeon’s scissors.

>The whole operation, when the scissors and continuous suture are used, takes only four to six minutes – and time is a great consideration, especially in the case of the insane, even though local anaesthetics may be used. To obtain the best results one must cut away enough skin and mucous membrane to rather put it on the stretch when erections come later. There must be no play in the skin after the wound has thoroughly healed, but it must fit tightly over the penis, for should there be any play the patient will be found to readily resume his practice, not begrudging the time and extra energy required to produce the orgasm.

You should begin foreskin restoration.

What foreskin restoration won't do:
it won't replace the erogenous tissue lost in the foreskin. It also can't replace the frenulum or ridged band (although these features can be replicated in surgery after finishing restoring, but this is not necessary). It also won't look as good as a natural foreskin.

What foreskin restoration will do:
It will allow your glands to dekeritanize so they become like mucosal skin again (I have heard about men who had their first fully body orgasm after dekeretanizing). It will allow make masturbation easier. And the sliding and bunching action of the skin will make sex more comfortable for your partner. It may seem like there is no point in restoring, but it not only will make things more pleasurable for you, doing something proactive will actually help overcome feelings of depression. It takes years, so its better to start now than just waiting years and still feeling bad. Finally, you can start feeling the benefits while you are only half way or a quarter way done.

When you get an erection and masturbate, does the skin move easily up and down?

Not all cut guys have that.

No, it's actually a necessity for men with tight circumcisions if they want to avoid pain or injury.

The skin on a tightly-circumcised penis literally does not move. It's like if you hold out your index finger and wrap your fingers of the other hand around it, then try to move it back and forth.

That's what it's like to dry fap a tightly-circumcised penis.

Even without gripping tightly, the skin of the palm catches on the tightly-stretched skin of the penile shaft and creates friction and chafing.

Also, it may be the case for many men with severe circumcisions simply cannot get enough pleasurable sensation through masturbating gently, so they may be more likely to "death grip" in the first place. I'm unaware of studies on this issue but it would be an interesting thing to study.

Rough masturbation would seem more likely in those circumcisions wherein the frenular delta was completely ablated (as the frenular area is a part of the foreskin particularly rich in gentle-touch sensitive encapsulated nerve endings).

Personally, I would suggest you consider not dry fapping, because since you have very little skin mobility, some of the force from your hand is going to end up transferring to the underlying erectile tissue (particularly the tunica albuginea which is right underneath the skin of the penile shaft). This might end up causing your penis some damage over time. The skin of the human penis was never meant to be so tight--it's "designed" to glide smoothly up and down, such that forces against it will not pull at the underlying tissue.

You only get one penis, might as well treat it gently. Just a suggestion.

It's not funny.

The state of a tightly-circumcised penis is radically distorted compared to the penis's natural state.

The gliding action is an evolved function of the foreskin. The penis was meant to function with the lubricating gliding action, to make intercourse and masturbation smooth and low on friction.

Without the gliding action of the foreskin of an intact penis, the partial gliding action provided by the remaining loose skin of a loosely-circumcised penis, or some other lubrication in the stead of gliding action, forces against the penis's tight skin will pull against the skin and the tissue underlying it. The internal penile tissue was never meant to undergo such blows.

As far as injury to the tunica albuginea goes, masturbation injury is a frequent cause. El et al's large study (Fracture of the penis: management and long-term results of surgical treatment. The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2008, Vol. 64, Issue 1, pp 121-25), which examined hundreds of cases over a 30 year timeframe, found that masturbation-induced injury was the cause of a high percentage of tunica ruptures.

The rates of rupture of the tunica albuginea are not known, but most scholars considered to be a condition that is greatly underreported due to embarrassment and other factors.

In light of the mechanical distortion produced by circumcision and the fact that masturbation-related injuries are a major cause, whether rates of rupture, chronic inflammation/scarring or other disorders of the erectile tissue are higher in circumcising cultures compared to those that do not would be an area ripe for study.

Or about how while there sometimes is a medical need for a man to have a circumcision later in life, there is absolutely no need for an infant to have the procedure? Or the fact that an infant having the procedure brings up countless more risks than an adult having the procedure like bleeding more than an adult would, being more prone to infection than an adult would, or being traumatized (because many mothers report that their infant sons have trouble latching onto a nipple and they even have spent literally days crying almost nonstop because to circumcise an infant is to put it in restraints and preform the procedure often without anesthesia.) Why is all of this less important than "I'm not as sensitive" or anything else? None of you are disturbed by the sadism it must take for a medical professional to mutilate screaming babies for a living?

Sometimes it's not an option. Sometimes they don't even ask, they just take your baby and have it done without your consent because it's considered as standard practice as cutting the umbilical cord. Sometimes even older babies are circumcised without parental consent. They even make shirts you can put on your baby that say "DO NOT CIRCUMCISE, WE WILL SUE YOU!" because in some places those are absolutely necessary.

Just throwing out there that this would be a reason to OPT for circumcision, not a reason to circumcise at birth against the will of the the person being circumcised. This is an issue of bodily autonomy and choice, not exclusively about sex. We can't let sexual preferences influence our politics any more than we can let religion influence them.

This is a reason why circumcision should be a choice, not an immediate action inflicted upon a non-consenting infant. You can still elect to get cut later on in life, that doesn't mean it should've happened (or would've been better) if you'd been cut when you were still covered in placenta. You're a grown ass person, do what you want with your wingwang. Babies on the other hand deserve that same right. To do what they please with their wingwangs when they grow up or until legitimate issues occur that actually require a snip.

Yes piercing your child's ear should be illegal! Especially the fucks who do that to toddlers! Any body modification is not the choice of anyone but whoever owns the body being modified. And no, that does not at all mean you have no other say as a parent, dumbass. The fact that people equate "don't mutilate your kids" with "BUY MUH RIGHT TO CONTROL THEM" is kinda fucked up. Your child is a person. It has bodily autonomy. Any time their skin is deliberately opened or punctured or removed without justifiable medical reason to do so (simple having a foreskin is not a risk at all as any population of uncut people will tell you) it is a cosmetic procedure. If you elect for your child to have a cosmetic surgical procedure without their consent, that is abuse.

you lose a lot of fine-touch receptors; you guys can feel the difference if you really lightly stroke over the circumcised bits as opposed to the uncircumcised bits, right? hell, i can SEE the delineation between scar tissue and intact skin.

whatever hygiene benefits exist are minimal, and need to be weighed against potential bodily harm resultant from circumcision (infection, poor/dysfunctional healing, etc)

if it's about hygiene, and minimizing potential skin folds for germs to thrive in, then why don't we just cut off girls' labia/clitoral hoods? same principle, right? and we could do it with the same degree of sterility we afford to any surgery in the first world.

You could try restoring your foreskin. It does not bring back nerves, but it protects your glans and inner foreskin remnant again and converts them back into mucous membranes. The skin becomes thinner and a lot of feeling comes back.

It should be made illegal, yes. It'll hopefully fade over time, but it's not good enough, and enough damage has been done already. The main problem here is the psychological overhead of people who either circumcised, were circumcised, or both. The literature is full of bullshit made by these same people as well, which is a significant barrier to brute forcing common sense.

The problem with circumcision however, is it doesn't do enough. If it did, and did so in an obvious and visible sense, it would have rapidly fizzled out like the frontal lobe lobotomy fad.

You can't. Legally in this sense children are property. There have even been high profile cases, to my recollection, where children have been circumcised by court order in cases where the parents are divorced and one has greater custody rights than the other, and one is preventing them from being circumcised. That's called an argument over property ownership.

There was a bill in California that didn't pass either, that would have banned it. Obviously it was blocked on religious grounds, and counter legislation set it as a precedent and blocked further attempts to ban it. Or something, I don't recall.

>I do not need lube but I feel almost nothing except for like, a few small areas.
If the scar line is further down your shaft it means more of the sensitive inner foreskin was retained. Try moisturizer if you're truly not feeling anything, and bear in mind, a lot of sexual pleasure is in mindset. Even an uncut dick can feel like a numb piece of wood with a few drips of pleasure here and there, if you're in a negative mindset. If it's negative about your D specifically, it'll probably be accentuated.

This. If due to some sort of fad a large number of people suddenly decided to start putting tattoos, piercings, small aesthetic scarring or other needless, but "mostly harmless" (as in doesn't inhibit everyday life too much) shit on their newborn babies, there would be a fuckhuge public uproar, but somehow mutilating children's penises is supposed to be legally and socially acceptable. Religious nutjobs and other deviants may cite their biased researches that at most only point towards very slight benefits to an otherwise healthy and hygienic penis anyways while downplaying the conflicting personal experiences of circumcised men, but we all know that in the vast majority of cases the procedure is done on a non-consenting underage individual purely because of aesthetic reasons related to tradition and religious dogma rather than valid medical reasons like phimosis.

You cut the umbilical cord for medical and practical reasons.
Your remove your hurting wisdom teeth for medical and practical reasons.
You might have to amputate non-functioning or non-important body parts due to medical and practical reasons.
You don't forcibly mutilate healthy and functional body parts because the Man in the sky told you to or because it's "in" right now. If the children end up wanting to fuck their own body up for fun or cultural reasons let them do it when they're a consenting adult, or at least old enough to be informed and capable of understanding the gravity of the permanent choices they're making. These things shouldn't be something a person can impose on another for flimsy reasons.

It really is maddening the way people works. There's something embedded deep in the human psyche when it comes to genital mutilation. I don't think it's strictly cultural, culture simply potentiates it. But once it's there, that aspect of the mind is brought forth in the majority of the herd.

This is really an open and shut deal. People try to frame it as a "wellll pros and cons..." matter, for a number of obvious reasons, but some of the extreme resistance and irrational behavior you get in people... This is one of the few cases I'd say they're mentally broken, and need to be prevented from acting out their madness by force. That's the only way you rapidly stop shit like this, brute force. Illegality with penalties that go beyond jail time.

Sure it is. How is it not? The amendments literally become part of the Constitution.

And male circumcision is actually already illegal under the Constitution. Banning female circumcision in all forms (even "ritual nicks") but allowing complete ablation of the male prepuce is a violation of the 14th Amendment...from this, the argument can be made that male circumcision is actually already unconstitutional.
