yikes

Circumcision is synonymous with genital mutilation, it's the same for men too.

This settles it. Speer is officially retarded.

Are you sure? I recall that her professional name was one word.

That is true. As a side point, it is also what the Samurai keeps under his pillow at night, in order to defend himself, IIRC. On looking at examples in the British Museam's Japanese gallery, it seems that they would be too long, IMHO, for indoor fighting. They are still pretty large.

That's her, I recognize the name of the book. IIRC, she's a Somoli living in Britain.

As for the shears, MtG was being kind. Imagine the shears were rusty and blunt. Imagine the not only took off your penis, but your scrotum too, then sewed your nuts back inside your body using thorns as setures.

Female Genitle Multilation is the single most horrible thing that can be done to a woman short of killing her. The worst part about it is it is largely women who do it to their children.

Your friend should volunteer to undergo the procedure. Why don't you read Waris' book, linked above?

Why? It's a good question. I was also wondering how bad female 'circumcision' was and what it really entails.

If I ever have a daughter, I'd die first before letting someone torture her like that.

chequita guevara · October 20, 2003, 11:31

The instrument of torture is frequent a sharpened rock or peice of broken bottle.

David Bowie's model wife Iman? I think she does some stuff as well.

It's Waris, not Iman.

now the real question, do circumsized men last longer in bed because of supposed* decreased sensitivity?

*i say supposed because i have no scope of reference to compare my peepee's sensitivity to.

chequita guevara · October 20, 2003, 12:19

I'm perfectly happy without my foreskin.

MRT144 · October 20, 2003, 12:22

word

chequita guevara · October 20, 2003, 12:25

I'd probably be perfectly happy with it as well.

Oerdin · October 20, 2003, 12:35

I'm kind of torn (no pun intended) over wither or not to have any of my future sons circumcised.

chequita guevara · October 20, 2003, 12:40

I myself would have it done, because most American men are circumcized. It might weird future lovers out to have their foreskins.

Whaleboy · October 20, 2003, 13:01

Its one of those cringe-inducing things really isn't it?

Male circumcision rules!! Judaism has its benefits

Dis · October 20, 2003, 13:37

well I can testify that male circumcision does decrease sexual pleasure

I hate my parents for it

Its not just the reduction of pleasure, its the feeling of being physically molested at a young age, without concent. thats what really is bad about this practice.

I feel like I was molested as a kid too being cut like that

while this may be true now, most kids born now do not have it done.

Oerdin do not have your sons circumsized!!!!

Gatekeeper · October 20, 2003, 13:50

Diss, how do you know that your sexual pleasure has been reduced by being circumsized? I mean, you were a newborn when they did it, weren't you? If so, there's no way you should have been able to have a comparative experience — i.e., sex with an uncircumsized organ, and sex w/a circumsized organ.

I have three sons, none circumsized.

The girl due in January won't be either.

What Gatekeeper asked.

Snotty · October 20, 2003, 14:01

AFAIK there is a chance the cut could go wrong, and damage the penis. Any chance of that happening means it will never happen to my sons.

Dis · October 20, 2003, 14:09

seeing that story of the Canadian who was circumsized by using some electrical method unsuccessfully and then changed into a girl should convince anyone that the risk just isn't worth it.

That's your choice. I think it beats the risks on them getting all sorts of deseases. There's the risk of both of them, and in modern society, both are small.

chequita guevara · October 20, 2003, 14:42

Having it done makes anal sex far less risky to you and her (or him as the case may be).

Snotty · October 20, 2003, 14:43

Mutilated penis, or diseased penis? Its a tough choice. But as you say they are both pretty low risk.
