Lets ban circumcision (male too)

Ahem, I haven't read most of this thread, so a late reply...

If you actually talk to people who were circumsized, most are happy with it and I haven't met anyone who's had it done in later life that regrets it.

So I ask, why outlaw it?

But most people who are circumsized had it done before they were sexually active (incl. masturbation). How can you regret something when you simply don't know what the alternative is? Not to mention most straight men won't be discussing let alone closely observing each other's penile details and experiences.

Do you think circumsized women regret being circumsized? Maybe because they hear it's bad (which will likely only happen in Western countries, not in Eastern Africa where it is common), or in case of medical problems.

But does that make female circumcision right?

That, ahem, cuts both ways

Not really. We know what both look like, but we're capable of feeling what it's like with a dullened sensitivity (perhaps layers of condoms or using the foreskin), while cut guys can never -- ever -- know what it's like to have all of the nerves still intact.

Which all just proves just how focussed some of you are on a certain organ of the body. It's natural for your age. Get over yourself.
