It's not as horrible as you make it out to be. I was circumcised. In fact, I didn't even realize I was until I was much older, I just thought that's the way things were down there. Once I learned, I didn't care. Everything's fine. Everyone makes it out like it's torture; it's not. You can't even remember it.
I have no deep trauma, no lingering issues. I'm just a normal boring guy, kind of like most guys who are circumcised too.
Personally I've only known women and uncircumcised men to have a problem with. I've never met a circumcised man who cared.

- abootstrapper 7y agoCircumcised man here. It has not caused me any inconvenience. I find the tradition barbaric. I am philosophically opposed to the surgery on the grounds that it amounts to unnecessary cosmetic surgery on a non-consenting infant for the sake of tradition. Now you know a circumcised man that cares.
- leetcrew 7y agoI agree that circumcision for the sake of traditional is essentially mutilation, and I definitely object to that. society is pretty secular these days though. I haven't talked to a lot of people about circumcision, but most of them (or their parents) just did it because it was the prevailing medical opinion at the time. if your doctor recommends a relatively common procedure for your child, you will probably go along with it unless you have a good reason to believe you know better.
- pessimizer 7y agoWhen I was a child, black newborns were circumcised without their parents being asked.
