I was cut as a baby and honestly I think it has improved my sex life because American women seem to prefer circumcised over non. Understanding the risks now, though, I would never have it done to any future children. It's pretty crazy that a purely cosmetic, high risk procedure on children has been tolerated so long in so many 1st world countries. Just testimony to religion's ability to undermine morality.

Mrs. RoundGuy says my **** looks AWESOME without foreskin, and she never would have banged me if I was uncircumcised.

That's good enough for me.

lolz confirmation bias. If you weren't circumcised you probably would of married a woman who favors anteater penises.

I realize it's a limited sample size, but after 28-years of marriage, I get laid anytime and everytime I want -- and often when I least expect it, when Mrs. RoundGuy just decides to jump my bone.

Obviously, I'm not going to question what "might have been".

Circumcision seems to be such an american thing. Europe seems to be leading the way with this legislation. Hope it spreads beyond parts of Germany.

I just don't understand why anyone would want an ugly ****.

If the foreskin wasnt meant to be there then it wouldnt be.

Naturalistic fallacy ldo.

While my parents are, at best, weakly religious, me and my brothers are all circumsized, but I wouldn't circumsize my children. What is the point? However, I don't support a ban. The reason is this: if we are going to ban something, there needs to be clear evidence that it is causing harm. Having a foreskin or not seems to be a relatively arbitrary thing, one is hardly better off with or without it. Yes it is a permanent change, but not one that is causing harm with people later in life running arround thinking "oh how I wish this had not occured" (maybe I am wrong, but I have never heard such a claim). It is just a silly religious practice without a big negative and while I don't have any desire to participate in silly religious practices, I don't want to ban them either.

Except that the 'operation' (one that isn't even performed by doctors) does have risks attached to it.

Also lol @ RoundGuy saying his wife wouldn't have banged him with foreskin. Did you have to pass an inspection of your penis before she ****ed you? Besides, if you want to cut off a piece of your penis at 21 years old because you need it to bang girls, go right ahead.

How about the small number of circumcisions that are botched each year that can cause permanent sexual disfunction?

Yeah I think most men who are circumcised as adults do report decreased sensitivity.

I mean it's not inconclusive. The foreskin has many nerve endings. Hack it off and you have decreased sensitivity.

Except in this case it isn't because of evolution. You can say that if it wasn't meant to be there natural selection would have eliminated it.

Well evolution leaves plenty of vestigial things, like the appendix and the human propensity for believing in magic.

What happens if some other religion decides to start chopping of kids ears and nipples I mean we don't need them either, would the Jews be ok with this?

?? I would have stuck with the nipple analogy alone.
