And once they get erect, the foreskin retracts, and they look as weird as non-circumcised dicks.

Honestly, I'd take an un-circumcised flaccid dick over a circumcised one any day. At least they're just a dangly tube of skin, rather than a bunch of glans all over the place.

Whatever floats your boat, I spose.

MRAs love to talk about how female circumcision is considered barbaric, but male circumcision is accepted. However you feel about male circumcision, the two practices are light years apart, and mentioning them together is either misleading or dumb.

"male circumcision is accepted" - only in a handful of whackball countries.

I was about to ask how you could forget Sarkessian and gamer gate, but JHMF was already on the case to yet again tie his favorite boogie man into the topic at hand. The dastardly plot to turn women into second class citizens by...banning male infant circumcision? The fuck kind of Cobra Commander shit plan is that?

Now all we need is Bort mentioning that calling Megyn Kelly an inflammatory idiot is proof of a nerd conspiracy to keep women out of broadcast news.

What?

>>I was about to ask how you could forget Sarkessian and gamer gate, but JHMF was already on the case to yet again tie his favorite boogie man into the topic at hand.

It's so ironic that you can accuse me of that while dragging Anita into the conversation! The topic at hand was crazy internet forum arguments.

What?

Yes, yes, it is all going according to plan. Muahahaha!

*strokes fedora with paw*

Nominal, if there's any reason why I find the objectivist view point anointed by Gamergate discussions meaningless and underhanded is when it ends up defending shit that is just rhetorically fucking philosophical as the uber feminists themselves.

I'm kind of having trouble picturing how whether your top is popped or not effects the clitoris?

What you do is you envelop the clitoris in the folds of your foreskin and then put your thumb between your index and middle fingers and when your date asks where her clitoris went you say "GOT IT GOT YOUR CLITORIS" and show her your thumb poking between your fingers.

This is called "earmiting".

Hehe. Guess it kinda depends but more of a mushroom top vs. a tube would ostensibly brush up against the clit more, making that more hands free so to speak. In other words, you have an extra hand for texting other babes if your dick's working for two.. I dunno. :)

Almost everything said in this is false, but I guess if that's your thing.

And no, I'm not a militant circumcision guy either... I just think science should be respected and not oversimplified.

Huh. Is that why y'all need lube?

My oldest uncle was treated for masturbation by the family doctor in the mid 40s.

First they gave my grandparents a ottle of blue dye that was to be applied to his penis nightly so that if he touched it in the night it would stain his hands blue and they could discipline him for masturbating. When that didn't work I am pretty sure he was given one of those genital cuff things that German and Austrian doctors endorsed in the 19th century, but a progressive modern one that didn't have spikes inside. I heard the story a long time ago though, so I might be wrong, it might have been more of just a regular old (non-fetishy) male chastity belt, i.e. thick canvas boxer briefs that you can't take off without a key.

Point is, the first generation of Americans to be born with any kind of chance at not being completely fucked up about sex isn't even 50 yet.

Death to all sheath-lords.

HANDS OFF OUR PENISES!

Every statement about america is a statement about the world. America doesn't belong to one race or religion - it's the supreme melting pot.

All the terrible faults with our country are a group effort by all the cultures of the world who've settled here. Equal opportunity fuckery.

You can't blame MGM on any immigrant cultures. The American obsession with MGM is homegrown; it's all on you.

>>The dastardly plot to turn women into second class citizens by...banning male infant circumcision? The fuck kind of Cobra Commander shit plan is that?

I don't know, but I'm in favor of it. If infant circumcision could be banned, with a religious exception, I'd be fine with that. Anyone else have an opinion?

Does anyone know of a male who was circumcised as an adult, and it wasn't a religious thing? I've never heard of that, and it seems to me, if having a foreskin was really some kind of hassle, someone somewhere would choose to get rid of it.

I was told that I was circumcised because it lowered the chance of cancer of the penis. But how common is penis cancer to begin with? I don't know, but I suppose when you're looking at your little baby son, preventing disease looms larger than the prospect of the kid having really hot sex.

Gmork, you do realize the inherent fault with objectivism is that it defends the score keeping of it's subjects by ignoring it, right?

So many of the best-feeling things that can be done to a penis require a foreskin. I'd sooner give up my big toes, and it's a bummer that so many men in the US are denied such an excellent resource.

I don't know about a ban necessarily since as a general rule the fewer laws the better (although I do think it's kind of fucked up that it's done so long before someone is capable of giving informed consent), but I DO think that at the very least people should actually be given real, fact-based information about the realities of the procedure so they can make an informed decision on behalf of their child. Because once that thing's gone, it's not coming back.

I agree with Zircon and I would also like to point to Oddeye that people do adopt rationalizations over time. It wouldn't be surprising if circumcision was something new to Judaism as much as "Don't talk about Jesus/depict Muhummad"

That tense of "Let things be" in this case is going to bite you in your ass Oddeye.

Haha, you stole my comment oddeye... though I was going to go with "Who the fuck cares?" Close enough!

What I'm getting at here is that primary source material suggest that even religious circumcision "in biblical times" was most likely for the same reasons cited in this video, not because of hygiene.

The fact that "hygiene" in biblical times meant "don't use your ass wiping hand when you eat" is also a dead giveaway. The modern concept of Hygiene" is only a couple centuries old. Leeuwenhoek wasn't even born until the mid 17th Century.
