I don't think I'd go so far as to say "barbaric"... but here's my perspective. I just KNOW you've all been waiting for me to chime in.

I'm circumsized, as was my father, and as is my son. I was a little conflicted as to whether to go along with plans to circumsize my son... finally went along with the "look like Dad" argument.

Since then, I have met only one man who was circumsized as an adult. He says that sex is definitely NOT as good as it was before. A surprising loss of sensation.

I don't dwell on this, by any means... what's done is done... but I've heard the loss of sensation story a couple of times, including this thread, so I wonder if I've robbed my son of some of the sexual pleasure he would experience as an adult.

At any rate, I wish I had done some research before I just nodded my head and said "OK."

PS. I also wish our Biblical scholars who quote Old Testament scriptures would also look into the New Testament, where Paul makes it clear that "...circumsized and un-circumsized, we are all one in Christ Jesus..."

This is why those circumcised as an infant sound so ridiculous to me when they comment on the supposed uselessness of the foreskin, they have no basis of comparison. It is the same as someone born blind commenting on color matching.

On the other hand, those of us who are uncircumcised know very well that anyone who can stand walking around with the exposed tip rubbing against clothing absolutely must have lost a great deal of sensitivity.
