I don't recall referring to abortion in this thread but I am definitely against it and yes, it is a far worse evil than circumcision.
You need to get your facts straight, I didn't complain about rubbing, I still have a foreskin. I simply said that the fact that a circumcised male is not bothered by it means that he has lost sensation as a result of circumcision. This is a fact.
As far as children making adult decisions, I simply don't think that even a parent should be making the decision to unnecessarily remove a portion of a child's body that has no need of being removed. The mere fact that you think it is ok only indicates the shallowness of your own thinking.
Perhaps those who are circumcised just don't know what they're missing.

I can assure you that they most certainly don't and the vehemence with which some of them denounce anyone who says so makes me chuckle. As Shakespeare wrote,"methinks the gentleman doth protest too much", it serves to indicate someone who doesn't want to admit that he may have been shortchanged 8 0 )
The only thing I know is a friend of mine had it done at 30 years of age. He told me later he wished he had never done it. I am intact and plan on staying that way.
LOL!
Thanks for the info. So far, my husband and I have not regretted our decision. My son can make the decision for himself as he gets older on whether or not to keep the foreskin.
So if we see a guy walking down the street with an orgasmic look on his face, we can know that his foreskin has somehow retracted, and his glans are now rubbing about in his tighty whities?
I have no problem with your decision and hope it works out for you. However, to call circumcision barbaric or refer to it as genital mutilation is moronic.
I once watched a public tv discussion on the subject. They actually had a support group of men (mainly gay) whining about their "loss". It was the most pathetic thing I have ever seen.
How much of a girl's genitals can someone cut off before female circumcision becomes barbaric?
Some forms of female genital cutting are less damaging than male circumcision, for example genital scarification and genital piercing. Is scarifying or piercing a girl's labia an acceptable cultural or religious practice or is it genital mutilation?
Sunna circumcision of girls is similar to male circumcision. Sunna circumcision cuts off the hood of a girl's clitoris. Is cutting off the hood of a girl's clitoris or cutting off her labia minora an acceptable cultural or religious practice or is it genital mutilation?
Why should there be a different ethical standard for cutting the genitals of girls and cutting the genitals of boys?
If someone proposed cutting off parts of girls' genitals in order to protect men from sexually transmitted diseases, most people would be outraged.
Anything that is less damaging than circumcision is not damaging at all.
No, it won't be an orgasmic look, that is the whole point of what I have been saying, in a case like that the man would be very uncomfortable and would probably be looking for a private place to rearrange himself. Try rubbing dry cloth on your wife's clitoris and ask her how she likes it. If you can still move after she finishes with you you might have some idea of what I am saying.
Hey, you have made a believer out of me. I'm gonna go back and slap the Sh*t out of that ob-gyn that robbed me of all that pleasure and pain.
You are misinformed. People opposed to non-therapeutic circumcision of boys do not all agree about abortion, homosexuality, or any other issue.
Some opponents of non-therapeutic circumcision are strongly pro-life and some are strongly pro-choice. Like most Americans, most opponents of non-therapeutic circumcision have a point of view on abortion somewhere in between the two extremes.
Opponents of non-therapeutic circumcision of boys also have varing attitudes regarding homosexuality.
Are you in favor of changing state and federal laws against female genial cutting in order to allow parents to scarify their daughter's labia or to cut off the hood of their daughter's clitoris?
He robbed you of a lot of pleasure, probably not much pain, but I don't expect to actually convince you, you have too much at stake to face up to the facts. The truth is you can never actually know of what you have been robbed because it can never be restored to you.
Outlawing circumsion would greatly diminish the industry that uses foreskins to make wallets that can expand to steamer trunks.
I was hoping to get my flap re-attached. Are there doctors that provide this service?
