just passing by to say that circumcision is clearly barbaric and it's insane that this conversation is even entertained in 2018

if a western doctor tried to cut off a newborn baby's clitoris (which is completely analogous and also qualifies as "tradition" in certain countries) they would be jailed and rightly so. stop advocating for the mutilation of babies, you weird people.

(p.s. it's really not hard to clean foreskin, and the amount of people who don't have one who insist otherwise is baffling to me. plus circumsized men are scientifically proven to experience dulled sexual pleasure, so have fun with that!)

Is it dulled as much as a female's would be sans clitoris though? I know you are correct, but I'm just curious if it is known how that compares, for analogy's sake. Penn and Teller had a show called Bullshit at one point where they would call bullshit on something and explain why. It was both entertaining and informative. Circumcision was the topic of one episode, and they agreed with you and vlado that it is in fact bullshit. However, there was this one old dude they interviewed who had figured out a way for one to uncircumcise oneself by stretching of even weighing down existing shaft-skin until is essentially covered the head while flaccid and was for all intents and purposes, new foreskin. Penn even warned that they were gonna show his dick at the end of The episode. I thought he was joking but nope, they did in fact show the dude's dick and it looked uncircumcised and pretty much what you'd expect given his explanation of the process. I think it would be worth watching, for anyone on either side of the argument. As someone who is circumcised, I've considered trying that idea myself, but I don't really have the motivation or discipline to see it through...

I feel like this topic is actually going places now, since we are finally discussing worthwhile topics, like penises.
