What's your view?

Good. Butchering a child because he might believe in fairy tales later in life is a joke.

It's more hygienic, looks & smells better. Uncircumcised men can produce a lot of smegma. You need to clean under the foreskin daily to prevent this. The downside is that you MAY lose some sensitivity.

So, wash and you will be fine!

I think performing this on a perfectly healthy child is quite frankly, barbaric.

The majority of white people struggle to wash their fecking hands after going to the john never mind washing their bell ends

I disagree on the sensitivity part, speaking from experience. Infact it is the contrary.

When were you 'snipped'?

Wurzel

I was snipped at 5 for medical reasons.

Did you lose sensitivity Wurzel? It's not clear from your post.

Now that's just blatant racism banny!

Maz

Do you wash your **** on a daily basis? I apologise for asking such a personal question but it is pertinent to the discussion.

Wurzel

Well obviously at 5 I had no idea if it was sensitive or not but I find it sensitive now even at my ripe old age. Don't get me wrong the old fella can take a beating but during sex it is sensitive.

Surely Mother Nature put it there for a reason, so why would you cut it off?

What this man says is correct, to mutilate a child in this day and age is absolutely horrifying, it should be left up to the person to make such decisions later on in life 18+

It will be banned in all modern countries soon enough.

Maz

Got you. I'd take the decrease in sensitivity statement with a pinch of salt! My own sensitivity (circumcised btw) over the years is anywhere from extremely sensitive to flippin' hair-trigger

Dedrater

Who doesn't? We live in a civilised society, who hasn't got access to a shower on a daily basis?

Edit: are you saying you do not shower on a daily basis because you are circumcised?

TelBoy

You haven't been to Basildon, have you?

Saxo Boy

I'm circumcised for medical reasons. Never bothered me that much either way really. However....

^^^ This, IMHO.

I agree with the ban as per Jack post, you are hacking off bits of a kids body who gets no say to it.

I also agree there can be compelling medical reasons for doing so, another is that have a circumcision actually helps prevent HIV infection for example. It should be the boys choice or only performed for genuine medical reasons

If we are going down the it's better for your health route should we have our appendix's out at the same time just to be safe?

Not sure why it hasn't been banned before...

Only for scrubbers. Otherwise it protects the old chap from all sorts of stuff.

In your opinion. Personally, I'm not one for sniffing wiener.

Never been an issue

You definately will.

It's wrong to cut bits off kids for no reason whatsoever.

Personally, I'm thinking of having my circumsion reversed. Does anyone have any tips?*

5t.

*Thankfully it's all in one piece as the parents aren't fruitcakes.

So you are in no position whatsoever to comment on whether it increases or decreases sensitivity!

If you had said 25, or even 15, maybe.
