Our tribal/traditional Aboriginal communities still do their pre-teen boys as well.
I had mine done as an infant ...remember nothing and am glad it was done. It is far more serious having it done from pre-teen or teenager or adult if medical circumstances require it. My nephew had to have it done when about 15 or 16 because the prepuce was too tight/small and hygiene became one issue.... the condition is known as Phemosis. |

if it has no medical reason then it is a NO NO....
when these things first started I can believe it was for health reasons.. but those days are long over... I dont believe its any one else job or business to interfere with any childs body in any shape or form.. and that goes for those neck rings that some tribes still go for.... CHinese women stopped wrapping their feets a 100 years ago... give it away... if boys/men feel they need this done later then they can at least have an anaesthetic . |

Wonder if it's true that Aussie soldiers (and maybe other nationalities too) were mandatorily circumcised?

Yeah well I've asked a few Veterans that assured me that they were glad they'd been done when they went to Vietnam.....
A week or more on patrol in the same gear ...laying up in ambush positions.... one said was very ordinary verging on horrendous as far as hygiene goes..... imagine women doing that? :o He also told me he was taken out of the field after being bitten on the kerp by a scorpion that had crawled into his strides. It was a take away the pain but leave the swelling occurrence.🤣 Imagine trying to skin that back to take a slash if you weren't done? 😱 |

When my so was born, the doctors refused to do it.
Later, when he was just 6, he started getting infections. We taught him how to was it, but that wast the problem apparently. At 7, we had him circumcised, all of his problems went away. It's not the same as FGM. It's not designed to destroy the sexual pleasure of men, like FGM is. |

I was "done" as a baby. It was pretty common back in the 1950's. Maybe it was a hang-over from the war? Hygiene being an issue back then?
My son wasn't chopped though. (1980's) |

Our gyno was strongly opposed to circumcision which worked out well as it turned out, because so was I and my opposition was strengthened when I was walking down the corridor towards the newborns' nursery and heard heartbreaking screams. As I continued further, alarmed by the sound of a child screaming its head off, I glanced to the side where there was a glass panel. And saw a gaggle of nurses and doctors 'doing something' to a tiny infant just then a nurse passed and I stopped her and asked what they were doing to the child she replied it was a circumcision I asked if the infant had been anaesthetised. She said no, it had not, adding, 'It will forget about it by the time it grows up' or words to that effect and said the infant was too young to be anaesthetised. None of the babies who underwent circumcision were administered anaesthetic, she said, too dangerous, not necessary Sad to admit, I killed the messenger and exploded because it was ghastly to hear and see that poor little infant, only a few days old, held down by nurses while grown men in masks cut into its tender body Do you mean you or any of those in there (pointing to the glass fronted cubicle) wouldn't feel it if I took a scalpel to you? It's barbaric ! And how do you or anyone else know it won't remember it? You don't know. You just parrot what others have said to you. That child will retain in its memory being attacked, held down, slashed and hurt, pain inflicted by huge monsters. It will not be in its conscious memory, maybe -- but it will remain in its subconscious for the rest of its life. And I challenge you to assure me that those memories won't impact on that child's thoughts and actions forever' -- or words to that effect I still believe that circumcision is a ghastly, barbaric ritual despite those conducting the ritual don't realise that's what they're doing whether or not my son wishes he'd been circumcised, I don't know. Most people are sheep and do what is fashionable, what is done by those they know, including circumcision and circumcised diks look neater, no doubt It's said Nothing is Wasted in Nature. If that's true, there's a reason for the foreskin Medical science no longer slashes out people's tonsils or adenoids or ovaries or breasts the way they did until quite recently, so the old slash and burn attitudes are being tempered and finally, don't know if it was in this or another online forum, but many women commented in order to say that making love with an uncircumcised man is much 'smoother', 'better' -- something they hadn't known until they'd left a relationship with a circumcised man and commenced one with an intact male I just don't get the worldwide obsession with mutilating genitals is it because people feel sex is 'wrong' and to appease something/someone, they must maim the sex organs and inflict that suffering on children? what's behind it? It's more than mere fashion or claims of 'hygiene, the latter seemingly a justification contrived relatively recently anyone would think penisis were foul, stinky, smegma laden items of filth. And as to soldiers in the tropics -- if they have canteens of water to drink, it's not a big deal to pull back the foreskin and splash or even spit a bit of water on the penis then a quick wipe. Not as if there are gallons of discharge filling up the foreskin |

Depending on what's trending or flavour of the month there are still unnecessary surgeries being done. Appendectomies had a go after tonsils and adenoids. Certain orthopedic procedures as well. But back to the OP ... when son was born our GP refused to do it because he said it was a barbaric procedure. My son is now 38.... and for the last 20 years the GP who refused to do him has been the "go to man" for circumcisions in my city. Wonder what changed his perspective ey? |

Careful with that word Gonads. Next, people will add a 'creepy' layer. They will insinuate the Doc is a kiddy fiddler. |
Title: Re: Male Genital Mutilation Post by Gnads on Jun 20th, 2019 at 10:32pm
Yeah? You reckon Doc used to keep the foreskins as rubber bands?

I have no idea Gonads. Some people here get very excited if you 'wonder' about these genital issues. You'll have to ask them. |
