  “Religion demands it” is not an excuse for child genital mutilation to be legal. Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion. The government must never pass religion-motivated laws nor use religion as a reason or excuse to do something nor as a reason against something. I personally would rather have the government ban religion than involve it in laws (but the ideal would be it doing neither).

  The child did not consent. The parents’ consent counting as consent by the child is bullshit.

  Also the practice includes intersex erasure: children lucky enough to be born fully androgynous are immediately mutilated, usually by removing the male parts.

  Yay for foreskins! Or are we talking about the far more barbaric female circumcision?

      Well, I suppose I am as well. Yay for foreskins! I’m glad my parents elected to leave mine right where it is, despite the societal pressures at the time.

  I mean, I got the snip snip at birth, I am not pleased about that, but also, hasn’t stopped me from having (responsible) fun.

  … Unless you are talking about female ‘circumcision’, in which case…

  … Yeah ok, you got a point with that one.

  But if you are a dude, unless they really royally botched things up, then I’d maybe try some different kinds of stimulation, perhaps in different places, to uh… see what really gets your juices flowing.

    Hey, just a suggestion: Maybe listen and understand somebody’s life experience before starting with the advice? This is about the same energy as telling ADHD people to just focus more, or depressed people to smile.

    Just like brains, bodies differ. I’ve seen other men on Reddit and Lemmy state that their primary physical sensation comes from the foreskin. A gay friend of mine has met several men who are the same way. It’s not so crazy to believe that some women can orgasm from penetration alone, while many can’t, so maybe men’s bodies vary, too?

    I’m glad to hear that your dick works after circumcision. Not everybody is so lucky.

      Jumping Jesus on a Pogo-Stick! For someone that claims to have lost their best sensory receptors, you sure are a touchy little sonofa. I’d tell you to grow a thicker skin, but I’m sure you’ll take it the wrong way and cry about it.
