Gonna try and keep this forum fresh from now on. I think we can all agree to disagree on certain topics. So. What about circumcision? I think it should be banned. I don't even know why it's even legal in the first place .. I mean, it's ok if you're an adult and making your own choices, but it's not the same as having decisions made on your behalf.
Banned? Absolutely not. At least, not in America, where people are free to practice their religion freely. However, we have reached a point in our society where circumcision literally has no benefit at all.. Now I'm starting to question if there actually are ANY benefits to circumcision. I dunno, it shouldn't be banned because of religious freedom reasons. Then again, I don't feel like anything should be banned because of religious reasons...
Well @TheSuperApe, circumcision is socially accepted genital mutilation... I can see good points on both sides.
I don't think religion should be an excuse to break the law though .. It's as if I had a religion where it was decided that all girls must have a nose job by the time they reach the age of 5, and none of them get to have a say on the issue. ... or worse yet, have their clits mutilated. Telling girls to wear a cloth over their heads is probably the lesser of all the evils, but even so, I'm strongly against forcing decisions upon children unless there's a medical need or if it's for the sake of their psychological or physical well being.
I completely agree with you, but we're talking about thousands of years of indoctrination here. It might not be so easy for someone who is religious to come to the obvious conclusion here, as is the case in most things.
I am not arguing the morality of the act but the morality of banning any person from any act. Follow?
I'll just be honest, I'm happy being circumcised and I think if my dick looked like an anteater I'd have a harder time being comfortable with girls. Like I bet most girls have never seen an uncircumcised penis in real life. At least the ones in my age group. Here's a interesting movie cover because I'm into them.
I see no difference (in principle) between being circumcised and getting a nose or boob job. Would you like to ban all cosmetic surgery?
There are several reasons why it's done, but it originates from the Jewish religion I believe. It cuts down on the chance of infection because of crud build up in the area. I'm not a man, but I think most men prefer to be circumcised versus the other option. But banning it? Considering that I don't think I've ever heard of a situation where harm was done from it combined with the fact that I'm a clean freak. I don't think we need anything that severe unless you "identify" as uncircumcised. We know that how you "identify" means absolutely EVERYTHING these days. TWW
The whole hygiene thing was always weird to me. My parents taught me how to wash myself properly when I was a child. Never have had an issue. Maybe parents just don't want to do it ? Idk. As for the girls not liking the look side, a few have been off put but got over it over the course of a few times. Most girls have never cared though from my personal experience. But I've also always been a very clean guy. It shouldn't be banned though lol. To each their own. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
The people who are having those done are full grown adults. Babies can't make that decision for themselves. So when you turn 18 if you wanna get circumcised then go on ahead. But it should certainly be illegal to do it to your baby. I certainly wish my parents had let me decide for myself. I want my 20,000 nerve endings back.
