I know there are probably tons of topics on here about circumcision but I wanted to talk about this documentary called "American Circumcision."

I just watched it on Netflix so if you're interested in seeing it, you can go there.

I'm cut. I love my penis. If you asked me if I wish I was uncut, I'd probably say no. If I was currently uncut, would I get myself cut? No. Do I think people should get their baby boys cut? No. I still love my penis, though. I never really thought about the issue until I was an adult and I had heard about the activists that are really against it. After educating myself on the matter, I do think it's barbaric to force that kind of procedure on a baby. If you want to have it done as an adult with your own consent, go right ahead. So that's my stance on the issue. I'm not scarred for life (well, maybe I am literally) but I think it's a practice that should not be done on babies anymore.

I thought this documentary did a good job of presenting both sides of the argument. Though, sometimes it was rather confusing. One doctor will present a strong argument against and then they'll cut to another doctor who will present a strong argument for. So, it's easy to see why people would be torn on the issue. My biggest complaint about the documentary is the censorship. It's a medical documentary. About penises. You can show me a fucking penis without blurring it out. This is not airing on network television. They show an actual circumcision taking place but the whole thing is blurred out. How am I supposed to get fully educated on it if you won't even show it to me?

It should be required that parents watch a circumcision being performed before they are asked whether they want it done.



The issue is some things shouldn’t need to be justified. Genital autonomy is one of those things. You don’t need to justify why parents can’t remove the limbs of newborns or anything non medically necessary. People get all worked up when toddlers have their ears pierced....



The right to be born intact goes beyond benefits and non benefits.

As tedious as it may be, if members want to discuss a topic endlessly, what's the harm? There's exceedingly little on this site that hasn't been discussed to death.

Why are you here?

My fan still follows me. Tired of stalking Wally?

Your bark remains unimpressive.

Unimpressive to you, but you still can't manage a response that addresses the issue and isn't a personal attack.

If you feel I'm stalking you, feel free, no....please...report me to the site admins.

And you said long ago that you had me on "ignore"

Thank you for bringing this to people’s attention. I too am circumcised but am interested in knowing more about why it’s still done routinely in parts of the U.S. I have Netflix (fairly new viewer), but I doubt I would have ever seen this without you saying something.

my sister in law really, really did not want her newborn son to get cut, but her (at the time still fiance) insisted and was hell bent that his son be cut. WTF dad??!!! My sis in law cried over this a lot. She said when her son got cut it was the loudest, most horrible blood curdling scream she'd ever heard from her son, or from any child, ever. That alone made me shudder! Every time I see the little dude now I say to myself "I'm sorry little guy, blame your dickhead of a dad not your mom for this in the future!!"

Thanks for posting on this documentary, I feel compelled to watch it

And they say you don’t feel it, say whatever to make you think it’s harmless. I’ve heard so many people say otherwise. It’s atrocious.

I’d watch the documentry but I don’t think I can deal with it emotionally.
