Here's the first article that popped up : https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/guide/circumcision

I quote :

" The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) found that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks"

"Benefits : 

There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including:

- A decreased risk of urinary tract infections.

- A reduced risk of some sexually transmitted diseases in men.

- Protection against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners.

- Prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the glans) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).

- Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location).

- Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean.

Note: Some studies show that good hygiene can help prevent certain problems with the penis, including infections and swelling, even if the penis is not circumcised. In addition, using a condom during sex will help prevent STDs and other infections.

 

Risks : 

Like any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with circumcision. However, this risk is low. Problems associated with circumcision include:

- Pain  (which is non existing for babies as they don't even realize) 

- Risk of bleeding and infection at the site of the circumcision

- Irritation of the glans

- Increased risk of meatitis (inflammation of the opening of the penis)

- Risk of injury to the penis 

"

Of course the Americans would say that they make millions off circumcisions in healthcare bills

Ngl, foreskin kind of creeps me out

And it's said "well, the hygienic benefit of being cut really doesn't matter 'cause you can still clean yourself" but how many guys do you know that would actually take care of themselves  hell, some of the guys I know have to be outright insulted for their BO to even think about wearing deodorant.

Though I do think carrying out this procedure (or anything else really) on the grounds of religious beliefs is insane so I'm here for it I guess.

some of us wash our tatas everyday but i have a friend who showers maybe twice a week and i just wanna:

I got my appendix removed 2 years ago and after a week or two I was already back to my normal routine. The procedure no longer takes a long time because they make 3 little cuts and thats how they do it so ur argument is wrong

I know that's what happened to my little sister

Mine was just a little more complicated as it exploded inside me or something like that

And lol at a ban inspiring antisemitism and Islamophobia. As if no one else does it.

 

No one else does it.

In Europe.

This is about European country (if you were thinking Americans do it too). 

 

 

 

 

edit:  That doesn’t mean I’m against it. It shouldn’t be banned. And Muslims and Jews are Europeans too. So don’t get things confused. 

(thanks for liking this post.)

rt if you think circumcised **** is the ugliest thing you have ever seen

I don’t think we should anatagonize men who’ve already been circumcised. Yes, it’s a dying custom in the United States and Canada, and perhaps some of us feel sexually strongly against it. 

Personally, I’ve seen tons of weird as hell cut dicks, and tons of weird as hell uncut dicks. I prefer uncut because the foreskin makes it easier to stimulate it, though a **** is a ****.

Ok, so maybe this is too much information. But I have been thinking about circumcision a lot. My foreskin is so tight that I have problems pulling it back. It might be some sort of Phimosis, but it's not that I cannot pull it back at all, it's just very uncomfortable and I have to stretch the skin first.

However, I can still have sex without a problem (as a top as well). Like, during sex it doesn't hurt. of course, I have to tell the guy not to pull it back too far. but other than that there's no problem at all.

But still I wanted to remove it just to be on the safe side health-wise. But I am scared that it will hurt afterwards or that it messes up my sex life... Any advice?

have you spoken to a doctor about this? i think that would be a better idea than asking GGD  

there are some methods that require you to stretch it everyday or something but i'd really think about talking to a doctor

I think the best is to ask a doctor. I don’t think any of us here could give you a good advice on that things

If you can't pull it back completely that means you have phimosis. Go to a doctor and they will prescribe you a cream that "loosens" the skin. It's a very common situation, don't feel bad about it. Surgery is, again, unnecessary.

Yes! 

Talk to your doctor or dermatologist about possible creams. My fiancé had this issue too. Circumcision is a very extreme option. If you can still have sex, they can do a small operation to help your foreskin stretch out (I forgot the specifics, but it’s a very minor procedure) 

it usually takes around 4-6 months, but you’re foreskin will retract comfortably.

 

if if you have anymore questions, PM me!

I had a friend who had to get circumcised for the same reason. He was able to keep some of the foreskin, so it's almost like they took 75% off so he could properly clean under it and stop any discomfort. That being said, his penis doesn't look entirely appealing with a partial circumcision. Visually I say keep it or remove it. But, this choice at the end of the day shouldn't be an aesthetic one. 

In terms of the procedure, he said it wasn't awful. You of course can't masturbate or have sex at least two weeks after and there is an adjustment having your head exposed for the first time, but he got used to it and said he preferred it (of course he did, because beforehand it was tight and sometimes painful). 

Also, he tried the cream for a year, stretching, etc. Nothing worked to the point that it wasn't painful. To say circumcision isn't ever necessary is very misleading. There are cases where it's necessary. That's why you consult a doctor (or multiple) before you make a decision.

It's just pen*ses,they'll all taste the same

[Damon 10,930]

i don't mins being cut at all but i think wouldn't do that to my child unless he wants to though

it's weird to think a baby boy getting a unnecesary surgery just because religion tells you too
