Why are people so against circumcision?

I've recently realized that people are so against circumcision for whatever reason. I don't get it, circumcision is better it makes sex way cleaner and you won't have foreskin problems or get penile cancer.

  • Personal preferences aside, you haven't posted any facts. Unless you have some new groundbreaking data to unveil, keep the hyperbole to a minimum... or better yet, zero.
    I always wonder why people convinced of their own infallibility are too chicken crap to post with their real screen name. Anonymity inherently devalues your point.
    There is no responsible research that suggests, let alone proves males who are circumcised are immune to cancer. In fact, the 2 tiny studies that suggest to a limited extent that cancer of the penis is linked to circumcision failed completely to establish cause or effect. I suppose you failed to read that in your studies. Did you get got, or are you woman enough to admit your mistake?
    Furthermore, there is presently a worldwide campaign to end female circumcision. Supposedly it's brutal, senseless, and misogynistic. Interestingly, female circumcision has been shown to have similar benefits to male circumcision. Similar drawbacks too, but that doesn't really matter, does it? We're only here to protect females from unnecessary mutilation... fuck the boys, right? If you're for male circumcision, you should be for female circumcision. If you're against female circumcision, you should be against male circumcision. Any discrepancy is pure ignorance or flagrant sexism, and nothing less.

  • How do you feel about type 1 female genital mutilation, where they cut off the the clitoral hood?
    Suposedly that makes it look better, makes it cleaner, and stops masturbation. The same selling points as the most popular form of male genital mutilation (circumcision).
    And both have a rhigh risk of complications. People die from both every year.
    Fundamentlly its a cosmetic proceadure being performed on a child who can't consent, to remove a part of the body which has a purpose for no real benefit.
    FGM and MGM on children should be outlawed, if people want to do that to themselves as consenting adults is a different matter (though there are still obvious concerns regarding parental preasure etc).

    As for penile cancer: Its very rare and circumcision doesn't stop you from getting it.

  • Because it’s done on someone that is unable to choose for themselves if they want their body mutilated or not. It can impact sex life negatively because of the constant exposure of the glans, result then in lack of sensitivity. The two main reasons really.

  • Genital mutilation is wrong.

    • Those are all misconceptions circumcision is very safe.

    • It was done to me. I was given no choice. I wasn't given pain killers. I'm very thankful cuz now my dick looks good and isn't gross. I would NEVER not circumsize my own son, the only people who don't are parents that don't give two shits about their son

  • Because the mutilation of our children is something we tend to frown upon.

    Why are people so against circumcision?
  • Circumcision, on average, makes a boy healthier. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization, both say the benefits of circumcision outweigh the risks. That circumcision helps keep boys from getting bladder infections and kidney infections. Preventing these infection prevent serious illness, and saves lives. Circumcisions also helps prevent HIV infections. There is a lot of false information going about, spread by people who are against circumcision. Bottom line, the medical science and research, support that circumcision helps prevent serious diseases.

    • Negative. There are only 2 studies showing links between circumcision and cancer, HIV and other infections. Neither conclusively indicates causality, period. I'm blown away that capitalistic medical organizations would support unnecessary and profitable medical practices. Aren't you? I suppose these same organizations are performing FREE procedures to save lives based on that underwhelming research? No? Surprise! Also, similar research suggests similar "benefits" for female circumcision, yet the worldwide campaign is all but unanimously against that. Have you asked yourself why? Of course not... you're a moron. Educate yourself or sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up while grown folks talk.

    • @Chaz269 : Actually, there are many free procedures done by the WHO. They don't make money off this. And your information is very off. There are no similar studies showing showing similar benefits to female genital "circumcision." Look, you chose to suggest that thousands of doctors don't care for anything but money, as they see children suffer needlessly. You suggest this, with no proof whatsoever. My question, is what drives you, to give inaccurate information, that influences people, to not take action on something that can save their child's life?

  • Well, people do what they want with their children, but I don't wanna mutilate my son just to respect a stupid tradition

  • Cuz I love foreskin

  • It look and disgusting as fuck when erect. And, you lose sensation in yiur dick head, so sex is not as pleasurable for the man as it should be.
    And you need fucking live to hand job and masturbate.
    Prevents penile cancer? Bullshit. Prevents HIV bullshit. Those rumors were invented by Jews to promote the practice.
    So funny how women are against clitoral circumcision, but they love circumsized ducks.

  • I mean who cares honestly I'm uncircumcised but I keep it clean and its not like I got an elephant trunk if I didn't tell you you'd probably think I was circumcised because even though I wasn't I don't have a lot of foreskin. When I get an erection it looks like a circumcised penis with only some extra skin. All you gotta do is pull it back

  • circumcision makes sex worse. the foreskin adds a layer of physical stimulation (for both partners by the way) and by cutting it off, you make sex worse for the woman but especially for the man...
    circumcised men will say that they enjoy sex like any other man but really they don't have the comparison. most who got adult circumcision are not a fan of it.

    it does not make anything more hygienic at all. having a good personal hygiene makes you more hygienic, not cutting off body parts. i mean your vagina is dirty too. do we cutt off your pussy lips and sow the hole shut so that you can be more "clean"? no so why does this argument work for men? cause it doesn't really harm them... and that's the exact reason why circumcision is so popular in america to begin with. it's a huge source of income for your fucked up health industry so they have no interest in telling you how unneccessary the procedure is.

    • i mean you can also get cervix cancer so better cut out all womens cervixes right? the legitimation for why this is done is just soooo far fetched and dumb xD it is really only done because it earns the surgeon money and because you can still procreate without it.

  • Maybe some people think it is like cosmetic surgery. I would not circumsize my future son (if I will have a son 😄), unless its done for medical reasons. For the referense, I was circumsized about 1,5 years ago (for medical reasons).

  • A lot of people consider it an unnecessary procedure that puts the baby boy at risk for no real benefit. Things can always go wrong in operations, and recovery is painful. Also, because it happens to babies, a lot of people are concerned about the children not being able to consent to the surgery.

  • It's called mutilation but whatever.

  • To quote my brother: "Why cut it off, when you can pull it back?".

  • probably because it is an unessasary procedure that is no longer relevant. i am circumcised and happy but now days it should be a choice taken by an adult or a teen with parental concent, not inflicred on a defencless baby at birth.

  • I don't support genital mutilation.

  • [insert intelligent post about obvious falsehoods including "immunity to penile cancer"]

  • I'm calling bullshit about the preventing penile cancer bit. How common is penile cancer anyway? From what I can gather it's very rare.

    But to answer your question, because there is absolutely no need for it unless it's done for medical reasons. This notion that it's more hygienic is nonsense, simply washing regularly will cover that basis. Also, since it's usually done on infants, then the patient isn't getting a say on the matter... when it's nobody else's choice to make.

  • Because it's genital mutilation of a small baby that doesn't have any choice, it's wrong and disgusting. Whether you have or haven't got your foreskin doesn't make any difference in whether you get penile cancer, Aids, STD's or HIV. If I suggested all baby girls be "circumcised" everyone would be disgusted and be outraged. So it's disgusting to "circumcise baby girls but not baby boys, seems a bit sick and sexist to me.

    • I was under the impression that it does affect other diseases but in most places that they practice male circumcision are clean enough that they don't really have to worry.

  • people just need issues.

    • doctors specifically need issues, cause other peoples issues earn them real money xD

  • I wouldn’t know my foreskin was removed at birth.

  • It really isn't and you get no increased health risk from keeping foreskin. This is about mutilating little boys penises. That is WRONG.

  • BECAUSE it hurt, at least someone who is against it told me. (Good thing she knew cause I thought it felt good!
