Despite what you’d like to think, you’re not making any sort of statement by vandalizing the library elevator with your anti-circumcision stickers.

Maybe TMI but you broached the subject.

I am 36. I was circumcised 4 years ago. 10/10 would recommend.

You shouldn’t peel off the whole sticker, just the end.

TMI, but did you notice any complications with the procedure? I’m assuming it was for medical reasons?

Also, have you noticed any decrease in sexual satisfaction/performance/sensitivity?

Obviously you don’t have to respond to these questions, but for some fucking reason this is a hot-button issue in my group of acquaintances and I’m convinced I did not miss out on anything by having a bit of a trim as a baby.

I know exactly who’s putting these up. There’s a late-90's white Mercedes E-class with a “fuck circumcision” sticker on the trunk that goes to my school.

The intended purpose is to change someone’s opinion. I just don’t care enough to have an opinion in the first place.

As someone who is also snipped (though it was at a very young age, so day I’ll askmy parents why they got me snipped, because I’m fairly certain my brother isn’t), the pros seem.outweigh the cons. Much cleaner, makes you look a bit bigger, and honestly, the decreased sensitivity seems to be case-by-case, though I have no basis for comparison on that one.

Most people who believe in stopping male circumcision however equate it to female genital mutilation (or “circumcision”). They are really and truly very, very different things.

Our library elevator doesnt work 99% of the time. The other 1% is people getting stuck when it works and ends up in the school paper.

My eyebrows just raised so high my forehead scratched the ceiling tiles. At 32, that seems like it may have been rough.

Cleaner is a misconception - if the time is taken to show said penis-having person how to properly clean their genitalia it is not an issue. I doubt uncircumcised men are wandering around with lint and ketchup stains and cheeto dust on their foreskins. The “uncircumcised penises are dirty” line was from misinformation in the ‘50s and ‘60s, the same era that suggested douching was a great way to clean a woman’s vagina. From what I can tell, the majority of doctors are of the opinion that there is no reason to do it or not to do it, but being circumcised could prevent future complications down the road if they were to occur. A solid “meh, cut or not, but probably yeah” from the medical community.

You know what that elevator needs?

An image of a box and a bowl.

However, it would be re branded “Frosted Foreskins” and the contents of the bowl and the front of the box would be made to match.

I would make them the same size as the stickers, and hang one right next to every one of them.

There were no complications. It was done for medical reasons. Phimosis. No decrease in sexual satisfaction/performance/sensitivity if anything those have increased and hygiene is easier.

CalzoneGolem > Tekamul 04/27/2016 at 11:41

It wasn’t. I may have a high tolerance for pain but I sat around for a couple days and then was back at it. Just had to keep intimate activities off the table for awhile. Honestly that was the hardest part.

It’s not cleaner one way or the other. It’s not hard to clean either way but it is easier uncircumcised.

Hey, you do you, but that’s how you get splinters.

Interdasting. I look forward to screaming these talking points at a militant-looking lesbian in my near future as she compares male circumcision to female genital mutilation.

I did tons of research before I got cut and the internet is awash with complaints but its been a solid improvement for me.

You need to refinish your table then. Some sanding and a nice polish will keep those splinters at bay.

CalzoneGolem > Party-vi 04/27/2016 at 11:53

They are not even comparable. You’d have to remove the whole head of the penis for them to be comparable. It is more comparable to clitoral unhooding. I really want to hear you yell clitoral unhooding at a militant-looking lesbian.

Studies have shown that circumcision somehow protects against some STDs as well.

Cleaning is also apparently easier, but CG here would know more.

Party-vi > Eric @ opposite-lock.com 04/27/2016 at 12:17

Circumcision does not protect against transmission of any STDs. It is thought that the natural microbiota surrounding the genitals could contribute to increase risk of transmission, but researchers are still trying to figure out how it is possible.

What you’re referencing are studies showing that after circumcision and proper sexual education, communities in African nations (where these trails are being conducted) have seen a drop in HIV transmission when compared to the previous uncircumcised population transmission rate. It is the sexual education and proper use of prophylactics that is decreasing STD transmission, not the removal of a flap of skin.

That’ll do it. I don’t like that people do it to babies, but I don’t have a problem with that act itself, especially as a medical necessity. Basically whoever owns the penis should have the say in whether it gets trimmed.

My understanding was that it showed a statistically-notable decrease in the spread of others as well (I believe they were ones that don't spread as readily). The cause wasn’t known, though.

Basic hygiene is good to have, circumcision or not.

My take away is that everyone makes way too big of a deal about it.

The reasoning is what’s weird for me, lots of “but his penis will look different from mine!” from dads. At least give a valid medical reason, not just a cosmetic one.

There isn’t a valid medical reason to do it. I know they are quite different scales but there’s no medical reason to pierce ears.

I can see your point but generally girls want their ears pierced at some point anyways, it rarely works the same way with circumcision.
