if you’re about to be circumsized - ’try not to worry’ [myspace]
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008Have I mentioned lately how much I’m against cosmetic foreskin removal? I can’t believe this bullshit:
It’s important to understand that once you’ve been circumcised, your foreskin cannot grow again. You will soon get used to the difference and be happy without it. It is more comfortable in hot weather when you sweat, which is why desert peoples do it. Do expect a bit of teasing when your friends first see your ‘new’ penis. Just smile with their jokes, knowing it is better for you to be circumcised. If they are not circumcised they may sometime have a problem and wish they were. If they have been circumcised they will welcome you to ‘their club’.

Sure - you’re better off with part of your PENIS cut off, and your friends would be too! There are a lot of weird traditional rituals, but fuck, this is sick.
I’m short one foreskin, and I’m kind of pissed about it. Moms and Dads - DON’T CUT UP YOUR BABY BOY’S PENIS! That’s crazy! If there’s some sort of medical thing, then sure, you’ve got no choice. But don’t do it -
- to show they [boys] belong to a particular religion, race or tribe.
- because it’s cleaner and prevents or cures health problems
- people think it looks better too
- the foreskin is a part of the body we don’t really need and it can cause painful problems
- it is easy to cut off, and usually done when boys are babies, so they don’t remember it. What you never had you never miss.
- it’s neat and tidy without loose skin over the end and it helps you to pee better.
- if you are circumcised you don’t need to think about it because your penis get washed every time you shower or have a bath.
- you might be circumcised because your dad had it done.
- often, when one boy needs circumcising, his brothers are circumcised as well.
Come on - all of these reasons boil down to ‘just because’ line of reasoning. This is fucking barbaric.
