In reply to the discussion: Angela Merkel intervenes over court ban on circumcision of young boys (in Germany) [View all]xfundy
(5,105 posts)I have been deprived of something -- I don't know what, exactly, it feels like, but have read much, and why should I have been deprived in the first place? Jews do it, Muslims do it, but it was standard in the USA when I was born. Of course Christers jumped on the bandwagon, thanks to the "medical" establishment -- at the turn of the century--making a buck while claiming that it "prevent[ted] masturbation, which causes mental problems." Then the Christers jumped on the patent-medicine bandwagon and the robber barons benefitted as well, by making the same claims. Kellogg's was founded upon this bullshit.
Why did I have something cut off at birth, which by definition mutilated me, and made it much harder to get the satisfaction men apparently need to feel to alert that part of our brain that says "enough," rather than going on and on, against nature, and hurting women in the process?
Circumcision became a "ritual" that happened to babies 8 days after birth because religious "authorities" figured out that no one who had any say in the matter would consent to having the most sensory-laden part of their weenie cut off, condemning them to a life of unsatisfying sex.
I honestly think this cutting bullshit has led to much abuse of women who "can't satisfy a man" as well as promiscuity, as some guys keep holding out hope that "someone" will trigger the innate pleasure/reproductive response their brains are looking for.
I've known several cut guys who had to work up to an orgasm with unnatural stimulants, grease, toys, etc, and it took them over an hour to orgasm. Even then, it was unsatisfying, unrewarding, and left them feeling "less than" or even depressed.
You think it "looks better?" Good for you. Find a guy who wanted to be cut.
I tried for years to stretch and restore my skin, that which was taken away as a child. I succeeded somewhat, but nature can never be replaced, as my frenulum was cut, and my "head" had kerotinized for 30 years. Still, it's better to have it retreat into a somewhat natural covering that was taken from me at birth.
Regardless of the supposed benefits, faulty "it's cleaner," "it looks better, "it prevents AIDS" articles, humans deserve to live as we were born, without mutilation.
