            like you know the little 'ring' around your dick where its circumcised? that entire bit is nerve damaged for me. like it hurts constantly. not as bad as some of my other nerve damage that i got from being a victim but it still hurts ambiently. its a very light tingling / burning pain, like a sunburn. but constantly.

                so if i go into srs, they basically invert your dick, widen your inguinal canal, and stuff it in there. to invert, theyd have to cut through the nerve damage. so that could potentially make it worse. also, not having foreskin can effect the results of srs. so being anti-circumcision is also a pro-trans position.

          Because it's a permanent mutilation to your body that changes the way you experience sex. That's the kind of thing that should be left to the person, not decided by their parents before they can even think.

      I get it. Total honesty among comrades: Cymbalta pretty much ruined my dick. While I was taking it I had trouble reaching orgasm, but discontinuing it caused an immediate drop in my ability to last in bed. It's improved in the last year but I don't think I'll ever get back to baseline. For the sake of my partner, I don't need my wiener to be any more sensitive than it already is.

      So there's these devices (or you just use your hands) that you can use that pull on the foreskin so that the skin stretches enough to cover the glans. I've been doing it for awhile, and I have some decent coverage now that I didn't have previously. It's skin, it stretches basically. It won't be like an uncircumcised dick entirely, but it's pretty good.

                insane misogynist conspiracy to steal baby foreskins.

                They literally do collect and resell them for cosmetics and stem cell research though, so there's a market for it. Hence why it's so prevalent for something that is generally not required.

                  Pretty sure there is a surplus of foreskins and most are destined for the incinerator. Suggesting the rich are stealing your foreskins to smear on their faces and for use in life extension treatments is Q-level bullshit.

        A few of the comments at the top of this thread came of as weirdly anti-anti-circumciaion.

        The rest of the thread is better but it's weirdly clipping people (pun intended) who would rather be able to make their own decisions on their bodies and not have sex made worse for them for their entire life to dunk on some weirdo.

            The "piston or broomstick one" dumbs down the argument quite a bit, imo.

            And the other guy got way too mad at you, but it's one of the reasons I think this site would benefit from a /r/menslib type section because it allows people to talk about men's issues in the greater scope of things without devolving into either being a idpol v wokeness debate that's just useless.

    Please stop being weird. Almost all of you are circumcised and you know damn well that your dicks are fine. Also, limiting bodily autonomy arguments to surgeries, and not nutrition, video games, and every other parent choice that causes long term physical impacts shows that none of you have experience raising children.

    And another thing, I'm a Jew, and a parent of girls. But if I had boys I would've lopped that thing off without thinking twice.

    Fight me.
