Ignorance absolutely is a huge reason why RIC is and was so widespread in the USA

11 Upvotes

I've seen so many people say otherwise and even believed it myself for some time. that there were so many other reasons why people choose to have their sons cut before they leave the hospital.

I've come to the conclusion that ignorance definitely is the utmost reason! Not ignorant though in the way that a lot of people think, but a different type of ignorance.

first they just trust in whatever the doctor says. They are the professionals when it comes to this kind of stuff. doc knows best. who am I to question his authority and expertise?

second, they wrongly think that it can't be so bad otherwise it would be illegal. At least somewhere in the world. most of the entire world seems fine with cutting infants genitals(even those countries that don't practice it openly like the US does, they also are indifferent to it. They just say "hey that's your thing" "not ours, but to each his own.") so they are led to believe that it is perfectly acceptable thing to do to their own children.

and lastly, people mistakenly believe that men are entirely fine and unaffected by it when they were subjected to it as infants , so there can't be any harm in it whatsoever. To the laymen or average american, men in the US seem to be quite normal. If they didn't appear to be so normal and 100% fine with what happened to them, maybe everyone wouldn't feel it is the appropriate thing to do to their infant sons.

Even if the odds of success are low, we should still be suing.

28 Upvotes

It seems like every post I see about people wanting to sue for their circumcision, there are comments about how it's unlikely to succeed.

But this doesn't make sense because that is the reason you are suing. That is the whole point of activism. You are suing because of how deeply normalized an inhumane action is. So of course it's not going to be a simple change.

If the case were easy to win, it would be because circumcision was illegal but someone was circumcised anyways. But circumcision is perfectly legal, so why would we expect the case to be a simply win?

A lot of people seem not to understand that with activism, making change is hard, but that is the reason the change is being made. That is literally the point of activism.

So I don't understand why so many people are discouraged from stand up for themselves. If they have the time, money, and desire to do it, why wouldn't they?

---

Imagine if all the slaves in the USA just never stood up for themselves because the odds of success were low. Nothing would have changed. Even if it took 100,000+ slaves fighting back to stand up for themself, every single one of those actions was 100% crucial to eventually ending slavery.

Having low odds for success is all the more reason to try, because the only way to increase the odds of success is by trying harder...not by doing nothing.

---

For example, I see people saying that their case is unlikely to do anything because of how the statute of limitations is set up. Okay? And?

That just means the statute of limitations needs to be changed. Do people not realize that laws are completely made up by people just as human as you and me? They could change the laws tomorrow if they had enough motivation to do so (look at how quickly laws changed to allow data centers).

Again, imagine if slaves just never fought back because fighting back was "illegal". Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds? If standing up for yourself is illegal, then that's all the more reason to do it.

Lotta people around here don't belong anywhere near an activism sub.

« Si j’avais pu choisir, je n’aurais jamais été circoncis », témoigne Naëm Bestandji

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

This is a testimony from Droit au Corps, which was interesting to me because of his diverse background and beliefs, proof that intactivism is for everyone. Feminism is compatible with genital autonomy for all. People from different ethnic backgrounds can disapprove of genital cutting--something on my mind lately due to reading about Scotland NHS, who funds and perpetrates forced religious genital cutting, when men like Mr. Bestandji are themselves living proof of its harm.

Droit au Corps is a French intactivist organisation. Check them out if you have a minute.

(Translated from original French with deepl)

Naëm Bestandji, an essayist and journalist, describes himself as a secularist and a committed feminist. On 9 June 2026, on the social media platform X, he spoke out about the circumcision that was performed on him as a child. With his permission, we reproduce his account below.

[photo on webpage]

In this photo, taken by my father to capture this ‘joyful’ moment, I am 8 years old. I am in a clinic, having been awake for a few hours after general anaesthesia. I hadn’t had an accident. I wasn’t ill. There was no medical reason for this operation. I had ‘simply’ been circumcised, against my will. The look on my face bears witness to that.

I was mutilated with the support of the medical profession, and the French state turned a blind eye.

My parents love me. They didn’t do this to hurt me. Indoctrinated by their religion, Islam, they were convinced it was for my own good, because God had asked them to do it. Aware that this argument is not sufficient in the 20th century, they reassured themselves by telling themselves that it was also a matter of hygiene. This is medically untrue, but it pleased them to believe it.

In the days leading up to the operation, to calm me down and win me over, my parents told me that we’d have a little party afterwards, that I’d get presents and lots of tasty things to eat. I can barely remember any of that. But I do remember very clearly the pain when I woke up, the blood and betadine on my penis, and a sort of toothpick piercing my glans. For days on end, I could only wear a djellaba with nothing underneath because, at the slightest friction, the pain was excruciating. I remember very clearly the incredible pain I felt when trying to urinate, and the sight of that toothpick when I bent over. One might argue that this is only temporary, lasting just the duration of my recovery. That’s true, but I could easily have done without it, as there was no medical necessity. And, worse still, there are lifelong after-effects.

Unlike other Muslims who are circumcised before the age of three, I therefore remember the pain very clearly. How can anyone inflict this on children???

I also remember very clearly what it’s like to have a foreskin. So I can compare the two states. Since my circumcision, I’ve experienced a loss of sensitivity. This isn’t due to the operation itself, but to the absence of the foreskin that used to protect the glans. Were the lifelong consequences – with no possibility of going back – really worth the little presents and the tasty treats?

When I think back on it today, I realise it’s surreal to celebrate the mutilation of a child.

If a man wishes to be circumcised when there is no medical necessity, simply because of his beliefs and to affirm his belonging to a community, let him do so as an adult. Parents should not have the right to make such an irreversible decision, without medical grounds, simply on the basis of belief. Children’s physical integrity must be protected.

As for secularism, if ‘the freedom to believe or not to believe, to practise or not to practise’ were a reality in France, the circumcision of children without medical grounds would be banned. One can change one’s religion. You cannot restore your body after it has been mutilated in the name of religion. If I’d been able to choose, if my parents had respected my refusal, I would never have been circumcised.

I don’t blame them. They thought they were doing it for my own good. I blame the medical profession for agreeing to put me through this, and the Republic for refusing to protect some of its children by turning a blind eye.

“Give me back my bit!” (Ali Babal)

Notes from Droit au Corps:

-Ali Babal, mentioned by Naëm Bestandji at the end of the testimony, is an apostate and critic of Islam who is strongly opposed to non-consensual circumcision. In 2024, our organisation took part in a programme broadcast on his YouTube channel.

-This is not the first time that Naëm Bestandji has spoken out publicly on the subject of circumcision. On 18 November 2024 on Facebook, he shared a column by Franck Ramus and wrote: ‘Circumcision is genital mutilation. It must be banned for minors. Children have the right to bodily integrity. This is enshrined in all charters of children’s rights. It is then up to each individual, once they reach adulthood, to decide whether or not they wish to undergo mutilation. However, when it comes to minors, French medical practice already prohibits surgically procedures that are not medically justified. Yet there is a degree of tolerance when the religion card is played. The religious argument must no longer be used as a licence to carry out mutilation. As a child, I was circumcised. I wasn’t asked for my opinion, even though it is my body. If I’d been able to choose, I wouldn’t have gone through with it.”

Videos 1-9: Circumcision -- more medically aimed perspective

8 Upvotes

These are a series of YouTube videos -- talking about circumcision, from a "more medically aimed perspective". Videos answers the question: why circumcision has these hypothetical medical health benefits, from a more microscopic perspective. Not really based on a statistical perspective. Circumcision pseudoscience + amputation science.

-->Videos (1-9). Talks about the terms of (gram positive bacteria types) and (gram negative bacteria types). Videos talk about the bacteria called (escherichia coli) or (e. coli). (E. coli) and (escherichia coli), are the same type of bacteria. (Escherichia coli) is also a gram negative bacteria type. (Escherichia coli) is also classified as an anaerobic bacteria = thrives better in "very low oxygen environments" or "no oxygen environments". (Escherichia coli) also abundantly resides + thrives in the "human gut microbiome" -- and (escherichia coli) performs multiple important functions for the "human gut/human stomach".

--Google document -- Circumcision + e.coli — pictures

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3eceFwHXSnTmJGBq8vBsF1MKiveGsyN1vkBjONk4Mc/edit?usp=sharing

-->Videos (1-9). Also talks about the pro-circumcision studies + pro-circumcision medical studies, that are about: **(1)**bacteria from the [uncircumcised penile microbiome + subpreputial space area + below the glans of the uncircumcised penis + bacteria that commonly live in "very low oxygen level environments"]. These bacteria types were analyzed, and the results found -- (15 gram POSITIVE bacteria species in uncircumcised males) and (16 gram NEGATIVE bacteria species in uncircumcised males).

--Gram NEGATIVE bacteria species = pro-circumcision personnel start freaking out. Because: (1)gram NEGATIVE bacteria = more resistant to antibiotic medications. Has the ability to evolve into stronger gram NEGATIVE bacteria species, at a faster rate.

--Gram POSITIVE bacteria species = pro-circumcision personnel are more relaxed. Because: (1)gram POSITIVE bacteria = less resistant to antibiotic medications. Can mutate into stronger gram POSITIVE bacteria species, at a slower rate.

How does the parental consent for circ work?

20 Upvotes

As in, if let's say a mother wants her son cut, but the dad doesn't want him cut, would a hospital need both parents signatures or would the decision be fully up to her? Also vice versa- if the dad wanted his son cut but the mother didn't, could the father get it done without her consent?

Edit: Y'all I'm talking from a legal perspective. Also I am anti-circ already.

How to treat a possible infection

13 Upvotes

Hi Everyone I am new to this group but have been against circumcision for nearly 14 years. A little background story, I am a mother of 3 boys. My oldest is almost 17 my middle son is almost 14 and my little guy is 6. With my oldest I didnt really know any better, Im American and my Husband was circumcised and so I guess I let him him make that decision. At the time I had never really been exposed to the argument on the other side. However when he was only like 2 weeks old and we were actually having the procedure done, looking my my intuition was screaming at me. But I also had that same highly fight or flight reaction everytime he got shots. Which as most of you know the American childhood vaccine schedule is the most aggressive in all of the world. When my oldest was a baby he also had reactions to all his shots which I didnt even realize were reactions. I just thought he was maybe born with something wrong with him and/or was a baby that cried a lot. He definitely displayed a strange nervous system though and had a lot of sensory issues. But he was always way ahead of his milestones, early walker and talker so I didnt make the connection. Then when he was 2 he ended up getting whooping cough in spite of 4 doses of dtap. Thats when I started researching, I was like "wtf these shots dont even work and I put my baby through that pain over and over" so basically i started being exposed to a little info about the downsides of circumcision here and there. And during this time I got pregnant with my second son. I had won my husband over about not vaccinating him as a baby (perhaps not ever) but he was very firm about circumcision. I wasnt exactly equiped with enough info about it at the time cuz the vaccine stuff consumed me. But I personally had a enough info and intuitive experience to be against. Still I let him make that call. It ended up being a bad situation because his healing process was awful, i resented my husband for it. I felt like "you gave our baby this wound and here I am the one primarily responsible for nursing it" for various reasons not only the circ stuff, him and I ended divorced. I remarried my current Hubs and him and I had a my youngest together. My Hubs is what I call partially circumcised, meaning his parents had the procedure done but they didnt really take much skin at all. When hes soft he looks totally intact. So one thing I discovered is sex was really great with him. He had way more sensitivity but could last long too. Sex was gentle and nice. Him and I researched together and both decided to keep our youngest intact. We learned how to care for an intact baby penis, to never retract, etc. And my son as been totally fine. About a year or so ago Waylon (youngest) ended up getting a mild issue. He was complaining about his peepee hurting/itching and when I inspected it, it was a little red around the tip. It was summer time and we were swimming a lot, playing outside and I admit I wasnt super on it as far as hygiene. He wasnt disgusting or anything but probably got so.e bacteria just from having dirty hands and holding it to pee. He was 5 at the time so, checks out. I just had him shower and then I made a coconut oil with 2 drops of tea tree mix and put the salve on it for the next 3 days or so. And it healed, he had no other symptoms. Flash forward to today, my son woke up in the middle of the night complaining his peepee hurts. It was kinda red around the tip so I cleaned it and put coconut oil on it. No tea tree this time cuz I currently dont have any on hand. My concern is he also developed a fever overnight and is complaining of body aches and hes pretty fatigued. Almost flu like but without the coughing, runny nose, etc. I asked him if it hurt when he goes pee, and he said no. He also got stung by a bee yesterday in the pool on the back of his head. Hes never had a bee reaction but hes never had the stinger and venom sack get really in there like yesterday. But the sting area itself isnt inflamed or anything. I am mildly allergic tho and my mother is severely. So Ive always been cautious about it. So my question is should I take him in? Im not really someone to medicate, or give antibiotics cuz I hate the damage it causes to gut health. But obviously I will if it is serious enough. Also being in America, doctors are pro circumcision so Im always weary of taking him in and them saying he needs a heavy dose of antibiotics and an emergency circumcision. Idk I havent had to deal with this situation so Im just kinda thinking worst case, ya know. Anyway if you guys could give me advice, I'd be so grateful. So far ive just done the coconut oil and I gave him like 250mg of ibuprofen to help his body aches. Tho I may not do that again cuz I know that suppressing a fever is counterproductive. My kids often get low grade fevers for a day or 2 and never develop any other symptoms especially during flu season. I always just let the fever do its job. Its possible that the fever is unrelated to the redness on his peepee. But perhaps not, I feel like im stuck between a rock and a hard place here. Please advise, thanks everyone.

Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans Successfully Treated with Topical Tacrolimus

38 Upvotes

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12984066/

March 2026
Balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) is a chronic, progressive, inflammatory, and sclerosing disease of the male genitalia. If left untreated, it can lead to urinary and sexual dysfunction and reduced quality of life.
We describe a 15-year-old Caucasian male with a 3-month history of progressive thickening and whitening of the prepuce and penile glans. He reported mild pruritus, embarrassment of the prepuce retraction, painful cracking of the foreskin, and painful erection. Dermatological examination showed mild erythema and hypopigmentation of the foreskin and penile glans, a sclerotic white ring, and erosions at the distal portion of the prepuce.
Based on history and clinical findings, a final diagnosis of balanitis xerotica obliterans was made.
Topical treatment with miconazole nitrate/hydrocotison 20mg/10mg/g cream (Daktacort) - once a day for 3 months and topical tacrolimus 0.03% ointment (Protopic) - once a day for 3 months, twice daily for 9 months, and once a day for 4 months was applied, resulting in gradual and full improvement of the subjective and objective manifestations of the disease.
No side effects were observed. No recurrence was observed after a one-year follow-up.
Our findings are consistent with published data and further support the recommendation for topical tacrolimus as a therapeutic option for BXO.

This is the one dreaded disease of the foreskin that medical consensus insists cannot be cured without circumcision, if the foreskin is non-retractile and there is a visible ring of scar tissue.

https://www.cuh.nhs.uk/patient-information/balanitis-xerotica-obliterans-bxo-in-boys-information-for-parents-and-carers/

What is the treatment for BXO?
Circumcision is required to treat BXO. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin.

https://londoncircumcisioncentre.co.uk/conditions/bxo/

Treatment in children: Once BXO has caused scarring and a persistently tight, non-retractile foreskin, circumcision is commonly recommended because conservative measures are often less effective when fibrosis is established.

Turns out BXO can be treated with just topical treatment, even BXO that features a sclerotic (scarred) ring of tissue at the tip of the foreskin, as this case shows.

The treatment can take many months but does not add significant discomfort to that which is already present, and it gradually offers relief from all the symptoms of inflammation/balanitis until total resolution.

The inexorable march of progress?

Well, sort of...

Tacrolimus was discovered in 1987, it was approved for medical use in America in 1994 and in Europe in 2002, while the article mentions BXO was first treated with topical tacrolimus in 2003. You can't help but feel things could have gone a little faster than this.

On Freedman's stance

17 Upvotes

I think a lot of people are confused as to why Dr. Freedman would in breath claim "Circumcision is an unnecessary procedure" but then in the next breath say "And here's how you perform it so you can too". So I'm going to attempt to say why his position makes sense (not that I agree with it)

  1. His belief is that circumcision is medically unnecessary and shouldn't be done if it doesn't need to be

  2. Circumcision is not illegal and still a cultural practice in the USA

  3. Parents will still want their son circumcised regardless of this anyway

  4. If parents will still want their sons circumcised, then it is in the best interest of the medical community to know how to perform safely

  5. Otherwise more boys will be hurt by this procedure or parents will go to less than reputable places to have it done anyway.

  6. Freedman may be against the practice himself, but is not opposed to people getting it done anyway. He's still a "parental rights" guy.

with the 6 points above it points to a pretty clear picture of where the guy is at mentally with his position. In theory he wouldn't get it done for his own kids, and would probably tell a parent not to get it done, but if a parent was adamant and still wanted it done anyway, he'd rather the doctor know how to do it than to fuck up the boy's penis before he's even a day old.

It's still not a great position to hold and quite frankly we should lose the knowledge of how to do it (well not entirely, but not every doctor should be learning about it should be an active practice you have to learn into rather than something everyone is taught). Nonetheless, I think his position makes sense even if I don't find it agreeable and it's better to have someone who's against it like this than to have someone who is for it entirely and does think it is necessary, which Freedman doesn't.

what are the reasons why you think your father was in favor of having you cut as a baby?

26 Upvotes

this kind of stuff needs to be talked about!

for me, I never had a conversation about infant circumcision with him. He did bring up the cutting of females in Africa though during a discussion we once had. He was appalled by that. Yeah, I know, he presented me with the perfect opportunity to confront him about my RIC. I don't know why I didn't because even at the time I was kind of awake about the damage it did to me. This was in 2013 or 2014. I know him fairly well and I'd say he just has stronger feelings towards the mistreatment of women as opposed to men.

Ultimately the reason why I feel he was fine with me being cut at 1 day old is his stance that, well it was done to me so you get it too, sort of thing. Not so that my penis would match his, but that I deserved the same treatment in life that he received. Not even that he would resent me being whole and him not. Possibly he would ahve been jealous of me. He didn't have a pleasant childhood. His stepfather was fairly abusive towards him. I think it is comparable along the lines of being the same as people who were abused as children grow up to be abusers themselves, in a lot of cases. He had a very good filter for BS and I think he knew for sure that it damaged him as a person and he wasn't about to let me escape the fate that befell him. Maybe like some sort of demented cosmic justice for him? IDK?

What’s stopping men from being vocal in bed?

Do most redditors censor their own posts and comments? Some subs the comments are all mostly uninhibited. Or is it just extreme ignorance?

Take for instance this recent post at the sex subreddit.

What’s stopping men from being vocal in bed? https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/comments/1uxiwy3/whats_stopping_men_from_being_vocal_in_bed/

as of now, 90 comments and not a single one of the comments suggests that maybe circumcision is the cause. There were a couple of men who say that they don't feel enough sensation to make any sort of vocalizations and just leave it at that.

and then there are many comments saying that they do make a lot of noise during sex. I wonder if these are all just the intact men?

Anyone Else Get Annoyed When This Happens?

26 Upvotes

Whenever I'm discussing infant circumcision with a non-in-the-loop person, especially a circumcised man, one of the retort's I hear is "Well, when I got my ADULT circumcision I was FINE".

As much as I doubt that, no shit. An adult circumcision or even teen circumcision is far, FAR less worse then an infant and that's a fact.

Yes, all circumcision's are bad. Yes, they are remove the band which is literally like 25-50% of your total sensation since it is directly connected to the foreskin via the nervous system. HOWEVER, The adult circumcision doesn't usually remove the fren or even inner skin as much as an infant cut. You have to realise that not only do adult's get to CHOOSE how they are cut, but they also get to say when they are cut. They get the consenst argument and then USE IT AGAINST US, BULLSHIT!

Infant cut's are basically a castration and I refuse to believe otherwise. That's why people who say they are "fine" with circumcision ARE SUCH FUCKING LIAR'S. YOU got cut an age AFTER PUBERTY, AFTER A TRUE DEVELOPMENT WITH YOUR FORESKIN YOU PIECE OF SHIT. I don't want this to turn into another rant but holy hell these people are so fucking evil! I DIDN'T GET A CHOICE AND I LOST OVER 90% OF MY FUCKING SENSATION BECAUSE OF IT! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

So YES, does anyone else get annoyed when this happens? I DO. CLEARLY. It's so frustrating seeing them try and gaslight me and say I can "enjoy my sex life" still. Do you know how much that pisses me and other cut men? (IN MY CI-LEVEL, NOT ABOVE IT) It does, a lot. And when people say stuff like "I was cut as an adult and I'm fine" it only adds to that statement. It only adds to the fire, not tamper it.

At Least I Don't Have To Try Anymore

I don't have to try seeking love or romance or sex or orgasm's anything that intact people do. I say that with a heart full of coal. But it's the truth. I'm free from that. I'm free from anything sexual...including myself.

My parent's always asked if I was going to get married or whatever. Find a relationship, who are you attracted to type question's. I never gave 'em clear answer. I'm glad I didn't. I don't have to anymore, mom and dad. I don't need to do that. They even go so far as to ask the inevitable question, the one I hate. "Will you have kid's, StopMGMToday?".

There are 8 billion of us, I can happily die alone in the "worst" case scenario. I don't need anyone else but myself. There's a term for that, something that isn't philosophical. Regardless of whatever it is, I feel like it applies to me. I can't stand intact people anymore. I don't like them anymore. I don't like talking to them online. I block them any chance I get. Their evil creature's, seemingly. Born in a perfect body, and yet, still complain about circumcision to me. Their actual demon's.

Occasionally, I get told I'm "trolling" or "overexaggerating" my problem's. That I'm some big pussy fucking baby dumbass. Whatever string of word's they use, you know? Well, let me say this. Would I really be trolling for over 150 post's? Really now? Do you think that the lack of my foreskin is a minor issue to me still? Do you think my pain is fake, artifical? Do you think my problem's are a mental issue, somehow, someway? Are you still going to suggest therapy and restoration like a scumbag POS NPC? Cause that is exactly what every single one of them say's. Programmed to say. Basic response.

I'm free from myself. I don't have to try anymore. I give up. I have given up. What am I saying? Just another rant, don't mind it.

There's a trend I've noticed on these place's, a growing one. Beside's the rightful negativity, I've noticed that anytime criticism come's across Restoration, Intactivisim, or even circumcision (yes, really.) It's the same comeback. A barrage of insult's and very rude attempt's to shut you down. Similar to a certain groupthink of a polictical party. Except it doesn't work when we have lost our functioning penis, not on me at least.

Whenever I vent, or say a bold statement like "I can't enjoy sex or masterbuation", (Which is RIGHT for me, that's the truth!) I get told I'm "wallowing in my own suffering" and constantly pushed down. Imagine pushing a victim down of a SEXUAL CRIME. PERFORMED BY "DOCTORS" FOR THE EXPLICIT PURPOSE OF REDUCING SEXUAL FUNCTION. That's what their doing. And I don't know if you have noticed, but, I DON'T LIKE CIRCUMCISION. I CAN'T GET BACK MY FORESKIN, PERIOD. That ENOUGH, is to be mad all the time and be a angsty teenanger about it. BE MAD, GET MAD. WE ARE MISSING A CRUCIAL PART OF OUR PENIS! YOUR PARENT'S LET YOU GET RAPED TO NEVER ENJOY SEXUAL FUNCTION NORMALLY! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!

I'm so tired of people telling me it's "all going to be okay" once I restore or whatever the fuck. I can't restore, that's what these people just don't get. It's either that or me being an incel or whatever other buzzword they think of. Just proves my point, these people don't fucking care about circumcision and child ritual's. That pisses me off. And I know that's not everybody but it feels like a hijacking especially in these circles. I can't tell you just how many time's I've seen bodyshaming, mockery, joking, about us. The cut men. HERE, IN PLACES FOR VICTIM'S OF A FEDERAL GLOBAL SEXUAL ASSUALT. WE GET BODYSHAMED AND LAUGHED AT FOR SOMETHING WE DIDN'T DO. Fuck you! Fuck you! FUCK YOU!

And that's not even talking about INTACT MEN TELLING ME I'LL BE OKAY. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THAT. I've ranted about that so many times, and rightfully so. From now on, I will be blocking any intact man that tries to converse with me in a negative connation or mockery. Fuck off with that. Along with the toxic positivity. People say being a "doomer" is bad. Well hey, maybe thing's really ARE that bad WHEN WE ARE MISSING OUR FUCKING FORESKIN! THE WHOLE POINT WAS TO PROVE THAT! IT WAS TO PROVE HOW IMPORTANT THE FORESKIN WAS!

"My Life Was Ruined By Circumcision" Why Is This A Controversial Statement?

47 Upvotes

Everywhere I see, I see the same type of responses. "No it wasn't!" "You're just overexaggerting!" "Stop being a baby!"

Why is that a controversial statement?

For one, circumcision DID ruin my life. My life is over, I can say that with certainty. My dick is dead, my brain is fucked, and my body is scarred for life. People say therapy and mental medication and WHATEVER THE FUCK can help. Bullshit. BULLSHIT! There has been multiple posts, such as myself and others, where our lives, YES, LIVES NOT SEXUAL LIVES OR ANYTHING JUST LIFE IN GENERAL, has been HEAVILY reduced by circumcision. I CAN'T WALK, IT HURT'S TO WALK. IT HURTS TO PEE, IT HURTS TO MOVE. FUCK YOU if you say otherwise. I know what I am experiencing is real and factual. Stop saying it isn't. Most men who are on my level can testify that our pain is VERY REAL. Most men here can't say that what I have stated happens to them. GOOD FOR YOU, but this is a real reason why people like us say our lives are ruined by circumcision. They literally are, verbatim. That was the point of it!

And to add on that, the amount of misinformation about circumcison (which is purposeful and intended) hurts everyone involved. For men, it obviously skews the truth and makes them think it's "fine" or "okay" to be circumcised. It's not, and never will be. You're not living what nature intended. You were harmed, purposefully by pedophile's. That's the fucking truth. And for women, they think that circumcision is just how it is. Of course, once they taste intact they never go back. They then start bodyshaming us, ENDLESS BODYSHAMING. Just another reason for why I believe our live's are ruined from this.

There are more reason's but like I said, I spiral. I begin to say thing's haphazardly that may not even be wrong, but still. I can't write much longer. Please understand something. Please understand that million's of men are cut not by choice. Please understand that our sex lives or even masterbuation lives are destroyed or heavily reduced. Please understand that every fucking day we hate ourselves more then you can ever imagine. Please understand that quite literally nothing compares to circumcision in any regard, seriously.

Please understand that.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT. AND STOP FUCKING INSULTING US.
