The first time ...I am an Aussie Man that is intact. The first time I heard of circ was in the Bible. The reason there was to separate Jews from other men. I never was and never been a Jew so being intact was not an issue for me in terms of religion (plus God cared more about our hearts). I don't ever remember comparing my penis to other's. <br />There are more important things to worry about than how someone looks. We are missing the person's character. <br />Let me say this. If you care more about looks of some one's genitals then you deserve to have someone who has a messed up character.

I am and never have been a Jew so I never cared that I am intact. Plus God care more that we are right in character then to have a piece of us cut off. I hardly participated in sports to compare in locker rooms, not did I care to look. <br />If we only focus on the genital (looks) then we miss the most important part of a person, their character. <br />Let me put it this way. If you care more of how some one looks then you deserve a partner that has an ugly character.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871151802688201612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-46482003578482584582012-07-23T14:32:14.877-07:002012-07-23T14:32:14.877-07:00@Anonymous: "But I'd be willing to bet th...@Anonymous: "But I'd be willing to bet that the average young male begs their parents to get him cut ASAP so as not to feel embarrassed and different anymore."<br /><br />My intact son is 19. He absolutely has never begged me to get him cut ASAP! In fact, when he found out what circ was, and that it's performed on babies, he looked more horrified than I've ever seen him, and said, "WHY?? Why would they do that? It's the best part". This was a few years ago, and he still cringes every time the subject comes up. (And, while I don't know - or want to know - any details about his sex life, his girlfriend of over a year doesn't seem terribly repulsed, either.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-20452415621856043992010-06-12T23:40:24.243-07:002010-06-12T23:40:24.243-07:00I thought this was done in America because banning...I thought this was done in America because banning it could possibly make the Zionists of the country feel oppressed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-41343169969316136822010-06-12T23:35:53.150-07:002010-06-12T23:35:53.150-07:00gotta get more young women of child birthing age t...gotta get more young women of child birthing age to read stuff like this.

Point blank, without ever having to prove it. It's simply a given.<br /><br />Dig a little deeper and they'll tell you "well, female circumcision elliminates any chances for orgasm." Again, proof? Where are they getting this?<br /><br />They'll tell you that ALL FGM involves cutting off the labia and clitoris and sewing up the opening to leave a small hole for menstruation.<br /><br />In reality, there are all kinds of FGM, the kind above, also known as "infibulation," comprising only about 15% of all FGM in the world. A very good article by the New York Times describes the kind of FGM that goes in Indonesia.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/20/magazine/20circumcision-t.html<br /><br />But get THIS readers; this study shows that even the women who have undergone the WORST kind of FGM, IE infibulation, can still ORGASM.<br /><br />http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118496293/abstract<br /><br />In other words, "circumcised women can't orgasm" is another myth invented solely for the purpose of belittling male circumcision, usually always INFANT circumcision.<br /><br />Check out the following "study." It says FGM, nicely couched in the term "labiaplasty", INCREASES satisfaction for BOTH partners.<br /><br />http://www.labiaplastysurgeon.com/labiaplasty-clinical-study.html<br /><br />If women are getting circumcised because their labia are "embarrassingly long," doesn't it follow that they should have the "parental choice" to do this to their daughters?<br /><br />You know? So that any potential boys the girl dates won't be grozzed out by chewed-up-bubblegum labia? And the girl will save herself embarrassment?<br /><br />It's funny how the "it's sexier" argument only works for circumcising baby boys. Nevermind the pedophilic implications people seem completely oblivious to. "I'm circumcising my son because -I- think it's sexier. I want my son to look "sexy" to me, and so this justifies my having him circumcised..."<br /><br />Imagine a man saying "I want my daughter's vulva to be sexy." He'd be condemned as a lecherous father. But it's OK for a mom to say "I want my son to have a pretty penis" a la Jenny McCarthy.<br /><br />Oh when will the double-think end?Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289402956369911923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-32225323094764909012010-03-31T14:31:14.529-07:002010-03-31T14:31:14.529-07:00Excellent work!

EXACTLY THIS. <br /><br />Bottom line for me is that it isn't my body and the whole "I have to wieigh the risks and benefits and make the best decision for my son" argument is weak. There is no guarantee that circ-ing is going to prevent anything. I would rather err on the side of caution and not do something as permanent as hacking off a piece of my kid's body (yes, it can be kind of reversed, but it's a LOT easier to decide TO irc later in life than it is to go through restoration). <br /><br />I just think to mess with a kid's GENITALS is the UTMOST FORM OF VIOLATION.

Women are circumcised especially in Asia and Africa still to this day. Not for medical reasons but cultural and religious reasons. But I'm willing your the type of person that preaches about maintaing cultural identity and protecting other beautiful cultures from capitalist Western influences. Except when it comes to circumcision right, because then its mutilation! Also did you ever ask a boy or even your husband what he would of thought about this topic, because as a young male in a locker room at school, or with a girl friend exploring each others body. The last thing we want to be is different let alone have folds of skin hanging off. Now if my junk was huge and the extra skin looked ok then no prob.

And of course there's Aussie men who are cut but rejected it for their sons.<br /><br />There was an American living in Australia who posted a blog saying she went to a parenting class and wanted to discuss the circ after-care.

I told the doctors before I had my son that he isn't going to be circed, there isn't anything wrong with PROTECTING the head of the penis. If you teach your son how to properly care for the foreskin, then there shouldn't be any problems with it. Ask your pediatrician to show you how to wash it, that's what I did. Who cares if the other boys are circumcised, your son should be happy that he's the way God intended him to be.<br /><br />P.S.

Aside from the milk-making function of milk the appearance and “sexual” or “mate attracting” function of breasts can be matched by prosthetics. And it is a far easier surgery to remove the breast bud before puberty then it is to remove the breast after puberty. I would have to presume that some nipple sensation is lost after a mastectomy but it’s not anywhere near the number of nerves lost to circumcision. In fact removing the clitoral hood doesn’t remove as many nerves or as many different functional parts of the body.mystic_eye_cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479651677904819197noreply@blogger.com
