I married a Jewish woman, but she's not religious in any way. After we had a son, the amount of people who thought it was ok to ask us about the status of our child's penis was alarming. I didn't mince words with them either. If you're gonna ask me, I'm gonna tell you why I think it's fucked and I won't allow anyone to mutilate my child, I don't care how much it offends your religion.
How's your kid's penis doing otherwise?
Found the GOP candidate
Idk I don't find it very alarming that they asked about it. I guess it would be messed up if there wasn't this cultural and religious thing but it is a thing. If people started pushing for it then that's fucked up.
I think what OP means is that when you've been immersed in rationality for a while then suddenly in a situation where you're surrounded by religious people again, the things that are "normal" to them can be jarring to you. It's quite an "emperor has no clothes" moment.
But for some reason really doesn't want adults to be able to make the decision to lose even more of their pp.
I had to literally take out a mortgage to get bottom surgery because of the insane hoops I had to go through "medically".
I'm intact. In my country it's only done for medical reasons.
My friend had circumcision performed in his 20's because he was having trouble during sex. He later confided to close friends that it was shit; Initially he was constantly uncomfortable because of the friction of his glans with underwear, until it desensitized!! and he had to lubricate to masturbate, among other things. He also said that sex was plain and simple worse, that he had lost a lot of sensitivity, and that it took him way longer.
Those who are circumcised who tell themselves they fine are deluding themselves.
That the US allows ritual infant genital mutilation is plain and simple barbaric.
Also consider that if it's all you ever knew, you might just be trying to make the most of it, without defending the practice.
Sex feels great to me, I wish I was uncut, and I would never circumcise my son if I had one.
Those who are circumcised who tell themselves they fine are deluding themselves.
utterly pointless insulting victims like this. stop.
I regret what I did to my newborn son. It's 22 years too late to change it, but as an atheist with an atheist son, I should have done better.
I nearly died the first time I had sex because a surgeon in california botched a circumcision my parents had done. they're not jewish, just evangelical christian.
he severed some nerves so I basically have no feeling except at the base. Basically, I can't get off from vanilla sex... and uhm... those warnings on viagra commercials about erections that last longer than 3 hours? yeah. uhm. they're serious.
That's bonkers, St Paul repeatedly talks about how circumcision isn't a thing Christians need to do, even rebuking those who said it was: Gal 5:12.

especially 1 Cor 7:19 "Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts."
there was also a fad where medical professionals were suggesting that not circumcising might lead to hygiene issues later. parents claimed that's why they did it. I don't think that's the whole truth, particularly when they were talking about my nephew when he was born. "Excuse me. I can't have sex because of that procedure" made for a very awkward moment at the dinner table.
You can thank Mr Kellogg the cereal guy for why ameicans love circumcision. He was a conservative Quaker weirdo
Are we not doing consent anymore? I thought everybody was onboard with consent?
If we had kids consent to everything, no kids would go to the doctor for any reason. Obviously parents substitute for kids when it comes to consent, with various things that simply aren't allowed in any case like sex and starvation. Should circumcision be one of those things? Well I guess that's the debate.
Hmmm... whenever this comes up, I'm glad I left my kids' intact. At the same time, I'm fairly indifferent about mine. Circumcized or otherwise, it's magnificent.
Also, given the hour I do want to remind non-US that it's weirdly seeped in the culture, perhaps even more so than gun ownership. I haven't the faintest idea why, though. Its also weirdly covered by my insurance, although only if done as part of the whole labor package. If you do it later on, it's additional cost (and me being a cheapskate was probably even a bigger deal than me being atheist, lol).
Look up John Harvey Kellogg. That should help explain things.
Yup, Kellogg's Cereal guy. Also avid hater of masturbation. He even wanted to pour acid on the clitoris so women would be desensitized as well.
There, tl;dr'd it for you
Yeah, America is a crazy place
The way my dad told it. When I was removed (tumor baby ftw) the doctor was just about to cut me and my dad stepped in. And told the doctor something along the lines of, "if you cut his dick off I will cut your dick off"
Dad was a 6'4 Vietnam veteran.
It's high-time we filed a class-action suit and forced them to return those ill-gotten foreskins to their rightful owners.
Needs to be cross posted in shirtsthatgohard (idk how to link stuff in lemmy)
