Oh yes, I am STILL traumatized because I TOTALLY remember when I got circumcised. Give me a break.
There is also no health benefits to female genital mutilation where there are scientific benefits to circumcision including: Decreased STD/UTI risk, easier washing/hygiene, decreased cancer risk, etc.
Now most of those are rare and STDs can be obviously avoided with protection and choosing the right partner, but still.

By your logic, we should remove breasts at an early age. No cancer risk that way. Or why not just kill all babies? Reduces risk of ALL disease to zero.
The decreased STD risk hardly justifies a barbaric ritual like that. Easier washing? That's just stupid. Are American parents so bad that they can't teach their kids to wash? Or so stupid as adults that they don't know they need to wash their ding dongs?
But hey. Keep doing it. People have the right to be as stupid as they want. -

And that gives you the right to be a complete opinionated dick calling people stupid for doing it? Some people do it for religion, few people do it for supposed minor health benefits but possibly may be out there.
Barbaric ritual? I dunno about that considering it's done at an extremely young age (mostly) where the baby doesn't remember, in a sterile hospital setting, etc.
You seem like one of those Facebook dorks that have to freak out and spread your opinion about everything instead of just having a simple conversation. -

Now I get it! You were trolling me on different movie boards and harrassing me, and I couldn't figure out why! Now I see it's because you got upset and offended that you have a bun in the oven. Poor 'little' fella, just pull the skin back and pretend if you're that hung up on your shortcomings!

stop spewing misinformation..
saying circumcision is medically necessary is like saying the world is flat. its not, and it has long proven not to be.
there are no health, medical, or biological benefits to genital mutilation, whether it's a female's vagina or a male's penis
i swear you yanks.
It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality -

My first husband was born at home in the 30s, so he wasn't. We didn't have any children, but he said he'd want any son he had to be circumcised. He never had any boys, just girls.
My second husband was born in a hospital, so he was. When our son was born, he had no objections to having him circumcised.
Me, well, I agonized over the decision, because even in the 80s, there was controversy. I talked to everyone while I was pregnantseveral doctors (my dermatologist said, "I'm Jewish.") My father had worked in nursing homes, and he recommended it. The deciding factor was the relative who'd (for health reasons) had to have the procedure done in his late 20s. He practically screamed: "Get it done when he's newborn!!!!!"
I've asked my son if he regrets that we did it, and he looked at me like I was crazy and said he fully intended to have it done if he has a son someday. I'm wavering again, since I've read so much more in the last several years.
I hope he has girls.
