Is adult circumcision for religious motivations really that terrible?Is it true one has difficulty in?

What you need to know about circumcision is that is it a terrible mutilation of the human body. No civilised person could ever allow this to happen to someone they claim to love.

Circumcision of a boy if as painful as circumcision of a girl - that means cutting of the clitoris and labia of a girl!. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to inflict either injury and permanent damage on a child or any other human.

Circumcision is the removal of the (male) foreskin. Uncut or uncircumcised refer to the natural state of the penis where the whole of the sexual organs are intact.

It is as good to be circumcised as it is to cut off your eyelid so your eye no longer has the protection and lubrication it was designed to have. A male was born with a foreskin for a reason, and it was not so it could be cut off!

Circumcised penises are no cleaner than a natural one - any one who says so obviously has no idea what they are talking about. There is a fool who said "World Health Organization and the Center of Disease Control want all males circumcised", but he is deliberately warping the truth. Quite the opposite is true - the benefits of a foreskin far outweigh the benefits of circumcision. Only a terrorist would want to inflict such terrible carnage on another human. Certainly WHO and CDC are not in that business!

Circumcision of the male is just as barbaric and cruel as circumcision of the female. Most people would not even consider inflicting such damage on a girl, yet in the USA it is still an acceptable practice to do it to a boy. Very strange.

For the past 2000 years there has not been any need for any religion to claim that circumcision is required, because Jesus came to set people free from the old laws.

Why would it be terrible to do something for your religion?

As long as it's an adult getting the procedure done, and it's not being forced on a minor then I have no issues with that. IT's your body so it's your choice.

However it is true that circumcision removes a TON of sensitivity so sex, masturbation and orgasms won't be as enjoyable.

I wouldn't know. I've never been circumsized. But many girls and women have been. I will not discuss the details.....it's too graphic. But I will say that female circumcision DOES ruin a female's sex life and masturbation. Adult male circumcision for religious reasons? Just another sick fetish of the primitve, depraved writers of your holy books.

Makes you wonder....who was the first person to say, "I don't like that there...I think I'll CUT IT OFF! See what happens."

Also, why did your god put it there to start with if he'd find it detestable and want you to remove it later? Makes no sense.

The change in the dynamics of the penis does certainly negatively affect masturbation. I think taking erogenous tissue from another human's body is always terrible, if they don't get a choice in the matter. It is HIS penis and his right to experience the pleasure of his natural body. The 20000 fine touch and stretch sensing nerves that are cut provide pleasure, taking that away from someone is IMO terrible.

If someone has all of the facts and they know what they are doing, that is their own choice and only terrible if they regret it.

I was circumcised at 18 and can assure you it is far superior to being uncut. There is no loss of sensitivity and it is not mutilation. It is cleaner (uncircumcised can wash 3x a day and still have odor), it is healthier (one reason the World Health Organization and soon the Center of Disease Control will recommend circumcision for all males), it is better looking (do you really want an anteater between your legs) and it improves sexual function. Uncircumcised guys have no clue what they are missing! I had no hesistation to have my boys (5,3, 8mo) circumcised, because I know there is no downside, but there is a lifetime of benefits to be had. There is nothing good about being uncircumcised!

Don't believe the BS the antis put out there.

Kyron you are not even a doctor and who cares what jesus said!

No, plenty of men are circumsized and they don't have difficulty in sex or masturbation. Actually, the foreskin can cause problems during sex and sexual acts and some men have to have it removed for medical reasons. So no, its fine most of the time. It's only the foreskin, it's not the actual penis.

Female circumcision is different, because they actually cut off the clitorus, which is one of the female glands that give sexual pleasure. There is no reason to remove that, except to stop the girl having pleasure from sex. Which is cruel.

It replaces having to sacrifice a son or daughter or some animals to god.

It does have an impact on sexual stimulation.

Another stupid invention from the Lala-land retards.

No, adults have a right to choose to mutilate their body for whatever reason they like.

Yes, it does affect your sex life. What do you expect? It´s CUTTING OFF PART OF THE MOST SENSITIVE PART OF YOUR PENIS.

Female `circumcision´ is nothing of the sort... that is simply a brutal crime, usually perpetrated on a child... savage beasts.

Let us remember the wise words of Eric Cartman: Dude, that is not cool! Chopping off wee-wees is not cool!

: ) Seriously why would anybody want to go cutting off parts of our most sensitive and pleasure giving parts?!!?! --unless your religious. I think it's ridiculous and cruel (for men and women) to get hacked at for the sake of .. what? It doesn't make any kind of logical sense.

I am against any religion that requires genital mutilation as part of it, speaking as one mutilated that way in the name of hygiene. I can't believe in any god that would demand this and resent the ignorance that did this to me deeply.
