You know what's really funny about this whole thread? I don't think any of you have ever asked a grown circumcised man how he feels about it. I have. It's currently my job. I've met exactly two guys who were genuinely (and by that I mean psychologically) traumatized it, and that's because the operation was improperly performed and required correction at a later date (they could remember it, in other words). EXACTLY TWO, after nearly 1,000 interviews. But I've interviewed a shitload of men who openly say that they hate Jews (google: anti-circumcision police), and several other men who've *decided* that they're angry about the fact that when they were babies some tiny, potentially useful/helpful/prophylactic operation was performed on Little Johnny.

See, deciding you're pissed off, and being traumatized are 2 completely different things. And here's the truth about circumcision: uncircumcised men are more prone to STDs and transmission of STDs. When they're in trouble and need to get circumcised, you try telling that to a grown uncircumcised man. Trauma? They practically traumatize themselves before they get the pre-med.

I see grown men cry every single day. And generally, they all NEED to see a therapist about it, but you take a guess how few can afford that.

So if anyone even reads this, THINK ABOUT THAT.

Wow we can actually be pissed off about more than one thing without mentioning the other things!

Nope, sorry not putting my two boys under the knife even under anaesthetic. Call me selfish or something. I still think it's an unnecessary medical procedure, with risks, and fathers don't need to do it to their sons to 'be like them'. Even if the majority of men in American society don't consider themselves the walking wounded. Cool?

I wouldn't ever suggest you do so, and I wouldn't call you selfish. I will say that that if one parent decides to have their child circumcised for valid reasons (and they are valid. Urologists aren't making up the facts, seriously), then other parents shouldn't attempt to talk them out of it.

Circumcision for cultural reasons is another kettle of fish, but in Western societies the cultural practitioners are *mostly* medically trained (there are exceptions. Saying more than that will involve a wall of text and I've got a deadline for something else).

I see grown men cry every single day. And generally, they all NEED to see a therapist about it, but you take a guess how few can afford that.

Mostly agree, but is there something else beyond just crying that mandates therapy?

[(Anonymous)]

When I say they practically traumatize themselves, I mean that. Unless it's an emergency (paraphimosis) they sometimes they have to wait for the operation (if it's something like straight balanitis or BXO), and that's fucking awful. They're scared already because of their condition; it's usually whacked their self-esteem to shit; they feel infantilized because they've had umpteen doctors, internists, and nurses poking their genitals. The list goes on.

If I wasn't up to my eyeballs in lecture material and didn't have a paper due, I'd give you more information. But google the things I listed in brackets. If you end up with graphic pictures, sorry (yes, that's a warning).

Thank you, I didn't get the context of why they were crying. No need for google.

As a grown man with a penis, you can go fuck yourself, you smug, contemptible asshole.

[(Anonymous)]

AYART

I don't have a penis, and I spend around 14 hours a day trying to understand what it's like to have one, and all the troubles that come along with it (for some boys/men). I'm currently also trying to get to the bottom of why a simple procedure that is very effective on many levels, and is performed for purely medical reasons far more often than cultural has, in the last 8 or 9 years, suddenly become demonized.

If that makes me smug and contemptible, so be it, I accept.

As for fucking myself, I don't have to. I have a girlfriend. Ciao.

HAVE I MENTIONED I'M HETEROSEXUAL TODAY?

I made this post: http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/1255385.html?thread=852345049#cmt852345049

I thought it was obvious from the context, but I am a circumcised male.

(but I actually am completely untraumatised by it, so I can't disagree with that aspect of it)

You are terrible at your job lol

[(Anonymous)]

Intact men are NOT more likely to get STDs than circumcised guys. That's a scare tactic.

[(Anonymous)]

at least that study was really shady.
