Jokes aside, it's fucked up to normalize maiming a baby by cutting skin off their dick when they are unable to consent, all in an attempt to deprive them of their sexuality years later and rip away protection to a sensitive area for no reason other than tradition. Really, there is no medically substantiated reason is the vast majority of the population except in instances of a birth defect.

It's always upsetting no matter what but the biggest upset is when people do this to their children when they're not even religious, which is common in the US and South Korea. I don't think some parents realise how abnormal it is.

This is a great presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGYq1n6Ipfw

Wow, now I feel bad for posting this. I haven't thought of this under this angle. Thank you for the eye opening!

Was that the original intent? Because as someone who's circumcised I can tell you that didn't slow me down one bit

Imma point out that you don’t have a point of comparison. It doesn’t cause a complete inability to feel pleasure, but it absolutely has a significant impact on sensitivity.

Circumcision deprives sexuality?? So I would be even MORE horny if I wasn't circumcised?! I can't believe that. I don't think my kids will be circumcised if I have ever have any because it is pretty archaic but I don't see any reason to be mad about it.

You put your nanas in the fridge?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I mean if you circumcise them you probably should keep them in the fridge

She's still trying to figure out what he means when he says, "Just the tip."

When the store has a strict "you f*ck it, you buy it" policy.
