Does anyone remember his circumcision?

Question

It must have occured shortly after birth. I remember mine.

Answer 1

Yes I do! I was six years old.

I had been having some difficulty retracting my foreskin. At that time they had some made up rule that the foreskin must be fully retractable by school age. So mother took me in to the doctor, they got me convinced that this "little operation" would be a good thing and I wouldn't have to try to retract anymore. So in a couple of days mom and I went to the hospital to have it done. We were taken into the operating room and I was told to remove my pants and lay down on the table, so far so good, then they came with a board with leg cutouts and slipped it under my butt, when they strapped my legs down to the board I knew I was somewhere I didn't want to be, I had made a mistake. Then mom held a book up in my face so I couldn't see and they started with a shot, I didn't feel much after that. The only good thing about it was I lost control of my bladder during the surgery and I pissed all over them! I remember walking out and nearly passing out before getting out of the hospital. It hurt like hell for about a week. That was 50 years ago.

Circumcision has robbed me and my wife of so much, sex should be a tender sharing experience. With a circumcised half numb penis it is a grueling marathon for me to reach a climax.

No circumcision before age 18.

His body. His choice.

Answer 2

Nobody remembers anything that happens to him before the age of about 2. Therefore nobody remembers a neonatal circumcision (which the majority of circumcisions are).

However, if you got circumcised as an older child, teen or adult then you will of course remember your circumcision.

Answer 3

I feel sorry for you.

RELIGION--If God intended boys to not have "skin" He would have made them so.

HYGIENE--Use a new invention, soap and water!!! Women produce much more “smegma” because of physiologic and anatomical reasons, and how would you feel if they cut your vulva lips??? Women, why don’t you answer my question, are you afraid? Baby girls are more likely to get urinary tract infections and no one suggests we surgically alter them at birth to reduce the risks! Just one of many double standards and laws that always treat men worse.

MEDICAL REASONS--No medical reasons. A extremely small chance of a complication do not justify the removal of the foreskin, if so, why don't we remove the tonsils and the appendix when a child is born, and the chance of complications of the tonsils and the appendix is much greater. Talking about complications, in fact many baby boys die each year from circumcision and related complications.
EVEN if phimosis occurs, instead of chopping it off like barbarians!, use Conservative Treatments like:
-Topical Medication(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Dilation and Stretching(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Combination treatment(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Preputioplasty is the medical term for plastic surgery of the prepuce or foreskin(many methods).

SEX--Foreskin actually enhances the sexual experience for men because it constantly moves over the head of the penis causing more friction and pleasure. Men will also lose much sensitivity to the glans if circumcised.
Circunsized men will have to deal with disconfot and dry glans.
The foreskin have those functions: protective, erogenous, sensory, and sexual physiologic. After all, why would you want to lose all of those “Meissner corpuscles”, the same nerve complexes which provide fine touch to the fingertips?
It is there for many reasons, that is how a man should be(it is natural).
If women like it better circumcised because it looks better(strange, not natural) or gives them more sexual pleasure(strange, not natural), then too bad, they do not have the right! All men do not like mutilated vulvas, and all men like breasts with nipples, they do not like mutilated breasts, etc, etc, etc, because that is the way those organs are supposed to be, it is natural. Interesting, isn’t?!!!

If that was a common practice to do that to baby girls, all the women would be in a big uproar about it(and men too!, men are not like women), but it’s ok to mutilate little boys. The great majority of the ones that agree with circumcision are women for their stupid selfish reasons. Even court cases reported in which mother and father fight because the mother wants to mutilate the son, it is always the mother!. You women should be ashamed to that to your son. Men that are not circumcised, will not get circumcised when adults, they would scream, kick, fight and run, if someone tries to mutilate their privates area, just like you women would run too if someone tried to do that to your labia. Men that where circumcised do not realize what they lost because never had one, and most of them that do realize try to justify it so they do not feel bad about it. Many circumcised men feel very bad emotionally because of what was done to them to such a private area.
It is mutilation of defenceless children in the most private spot, genital mutilation.
It is cruel and barbaric.
It is a human rights violation.
It is not the parent’s decision; it is the parents decision if they want to abuse him, rape him, or to kill him?.
I do not even agree that it is ok if an adult man wants to get circumcised. I think it is wrong, because if a man wants to lose a finger, the Doctor can not do that to him. Think about it, think, think. And by the way, adult men that decide to get circumcised, do it because they know most women like it, they just do it to be more accepted by women.
I think it is just like slavery and all other barbaric acts of the past, it was accepted because it was common practice or tradition, everyone accepted slavery without questioning the facts, but it is not accepted anymore in a modern and fair and civilized society. Circumcision must not be allowed, BY LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
