    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.

        I’m not insulting anybody, I’m simply pointing out that to pretend everything is fine, is looking the other way.

            I’m empathetic about your situation. I think it’s the best to make the best out of it. I simply say that saying all is OK makes it sound as it’s a trivial matter, and helps the practice keep being carried out.

        As a victim, I wish people had insulted previous victims so that they wouldn’t pass on their trauma to the next generation.

        Fuck no, cause those same shitheads are totally fine with the continuation of the practice. They try to minimize the trauma to feed their own insecurities.

        People who downplay circumcision can get fucked.

          Circumcision without consent and without a real medical necessarily is barbaric and needs to end.

          My point is that I can’t take it back, so I choose to enjoy what I have instead of lamenting what I should have. Maybe if foregen succeeds I’ll consider that tho
