Post by l***@mac.comAnythings i am not sure, but for circumcision, dad is the best to know. My father get me cicumcised at 14 like my brothers. First i did'nt want to, but he was right. And now i am proud and have better sex.
Better sex than what? Than you were having before you were 14? Now, sadly, you will never know what sex would have felt like had you been left intact, as nature made you. The foreskin provides many vital functions, and is among the most nerve-laden tissue in the body. It is meant to protect the glans when not erect. This is why circumcised men have 4 times (that's 400%) the rate of erectile dysfunction later in life as compared to intact males.
To do this to any child, male of female, is ethically indefensible. That it is legal for males and not females (yes, some practice removal of the clitoral hood) is a blatant example of sexual discrimination.
You were subjected, against your will, to a very painful and completely needless surgical operation that permanently altered your genitals. You should be very upset. The foreskin is very important.. and it is not just a snip but a horrific procedure, (look up images of one being done), which I cannot believe is till legal, whatever religion one is. You can decide to have it done later in life but to needlessly do it to a child is wrong, no matter how one looks at it.
Pride should be reserved for things we accomplish, not ancient barbaric rituals that serve no purpose and have their origins in the ignorance of religion and Victorian mores, which believed masturbation was a sin. It was found that circumcised boys were less prone to touch themselves if they were mutilated in this manner. Can you imagine the torment of living with such absurd beliefs? Just wow.
