. 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
