>Reality check: Not true. The foreskin is half of the penis's skin, not just a flap. In an adult man, the foreskin is 15 square inches of skin. In babies and children, the foreskin is adhered to the head of the penis with the same type of tissue that adheres fingernails to their nail beds. Removing it requires shoving a blunt probe between the foreskin and the head of the penis and then cutting down and around the whole penis.
>Myth 2: It doesn't hurt the baby.
>Reality check: Wrong. In 1997, doctors in Canada did a study to see what type of anesthesia was most effective in relieving the pain of circumcision. As with any study, they needed a control group that received no anesthesia. The doctors quickly realized that the babies who were not anesthetized were in so much pain that it would be unethical to continue with the study. Even the best commonly available method of pain relief studied, the dorsal penile nerve block, did not block all the babies' pain. Some of the babies in the study were in such pain that they began choking and one even had a seizure (Lander 1997).
>Reality check: Not necessarily. Most newborns do not receive adequate anesthesia. Only 45% of doctors who do circumcisions use any anesthesia at all. Obstetricians perform 70% of circumcisions and are least likely to use anesthesia - only 25% do. The most common reasons why they don't? They didn't think the procedure warranted it, and it takes too long (Stang 1998). A circumcision with adequate anesthesia takes a half-hour - if they brought your baby back sooner, he was in severe pain during the surgery.
>Myth 4: Even if it is painful, the baby won't remember it.
>Reality check: The body is a historical repository and remembers everything. The pain of circumcision causes a rewiring of the baby's brain so that he is more sensitive to pain later (Taddio 1997, Anand 2000). Circumcision also can cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anger, low self-esteem and problems with intimacy (Boyle 2002, Hammond 1999, Goldman 1999). Even with a lack of explicit memory and the inability to protest - does that make it right to inflict pain? Ethical guidelines for animal research whenever possible* - do babies deserve any less?

>Myth 5: My baby slept right through it.
>Reality check: Not possible without total anesthesia, which is not available. Even the dorsal penile nerve block leaves the underside of the penis receptive to pain. Babies go into shock, which though it looks like a quiet state, is actually the body's reaction to profound pain and distress. Nurses often tell the parents "He slept right through it" so as not to upset them. Who would want to hear that his or her baby was screaming in agony?
>Myth 6: It doesn't cause the baby long-term harm.
>Reality check: Incorrect. Removal of healthy tissue from a non-consenting patient is, in itself, harm (more on this point later). Circumcision has an array of risks and side effects. There is a 1-3% complication rate during the newborn period alone (Schwartz 1990).
>Meatal Stenosis: Many circumcised boys and men suffer from meatal stenosis. This is a narrowing of the urethra which can interfere with urination and require surgery to fix.
>Adhesions. Circumcised babies can suffer from adhesions, where the foreskin remnants try to heal to the head of the penis in an area they are not supposed to grow on. Doctors treat these by ripping them open with no anesthesia.
>Buried penis. Circumcision can lead to trapped or buried penis - too much skin is removed, and so the penis is forced inside the body. This can lead to problems in adulthood when the man does not have enough skin to have a comfortable erection. Some men even have their skin split open when they have an erection. There are even more sexual consequences, which we will address in a future post.
>Infection. The circumcision wound can become infected. This is especially dangerous now with the prevalence of hospital-acquired multi-drug resistant bacteria.
>Death. Babies can even die of circumcision. Over 100 newborns die each year in the USA, mostly from loss of blood and infection (Van Howe 1997 & 2004, Bollinger 2010).

Its really astonishing how many retarded meaningless threads there are on this site when something as obviously wrong and heinous as this can't even get a unified push against it.
Jace Bennett
Legal child abuse.
Logan Phillips
I say if it's legal to circumcise boys, then it should legal to circumcise girls too for consistency sake. Let's get these cunts sewn shut and then maybe someone is gonna wake the fuck up about this child abuse pushed unto us by jews and the (((APA)))

>thinking about other men's penises
The concern is with the bodily integrity of infants. Infant circumcision is barbaric. Trying to make it sound like the people talking about this are just gays imagining dicks is obviously a defense mechanism on your part.
Gavin Mitchell
Bump to hopefully prevent at least one baby getting their dick mutilated
Leo Davis
myth 0: op is a huge flaming faggot
Seriously tho you think way to much about weiners to be healthy
Caleb Anderson
Yeah nah. OP is/was doing God’s work.
Jonathan Clark
Is this your new tactic schlomo?
You need to die jew faggot. If you think its okay to take this from another human then someone should take your fucking life.
What if we sew girls shut until they are married. That would solve so many problems.

>Isn't it time to think more carefully about whether we should be circumcising our boys? Every doctor doing that should be barred from practicing medicine over violation of the Hippocratic oath, also reparations for every victim needs to be paid for causing lifelong irreparable bodily harm. Then they need to be sentenced to prison for assault with a deadly weapon on a defenseless person.
You cannot consent someone else to be a victim of a crime.
im not saying i necessarily support it, there are enough cut men for me to choose a suitable partner for life. I was just letting you know that it is aesthetically more pleasing to me. that could be a bad thing for society overall, maybe my particular type of gay doesn't like dick in its natural state. and you don't have to be rude i was just having a conversation.

>having preference for sex characteristics is a mental illness huh?
Luis Martinez
The forskin is an unnecessary piece that causes dick cheese if left unattended for a lot less time than a circumcised cock. And sensitivity is not importent. There are more benefits to a circumcision than not
Carson Jackson
What about the preferences of the infants? Do they get a vote?
Leo Williams
With one post you just solved the world's rape crisis
I'd say it's pretty fucked up if it involves mutilating yourself.
Brandon Foster
Since when is religion/mental illness a 'sex characteristic'?
Daniel Sanders
I do have to be rude when you come in a thread talking about the violation of mans most basic right and unnecessarily point out your preference for mutilated dicks.
If you like it fine, some of the astronomically rare men who decide to get cut later can satisfy people like you.
Hudson Walker
they do, and my opinion certainly shouldn't outweigh that, i was just bringing up a factor that I'm sure some parents consider.
Nicholas Jackson
>they do
Please explain how an infant being circumcised is involved in the decision-making then.
Hudson Powell
>unnecessarily point out your preference for mutilated dicks. yeah its really strange to have a preference for something that is prevalent in the world that i grew up in. if you want people to sympathize wirh your cause you are going to have to learn to not be such a dramatic bitch about things, because it just makes u look like a woman.
Blake Gomez
Sure thig shlomo. Wash your dick,faggot
Logan Carter
Firstly you cannot consent to be a victim of crime, second, you cannot consent someone else to be a victim either.
Elijah Turner
Being a dramatic bitch about actual child mutilation? What a fucking shock you mentally deranged queer.
If youre so easily swayed by society that you begin to think literal child mutilation is acceptable just because you're exposed to it you are the lowest of the lowest human cattle.
