That said, I do take offense to my penis's condition being called "mutilated". The term "mutilated" includes a negative connotation and implicitly means something was made imperfect through alteration. I'm circumcised and my penis is not imperfect as a result. And your opinion on my penis is not appreciated. So please, stop using the mindless term "mutilated"--it's offensive and biased.
I'm a guy who is restoring my foreskin as I don't like being cut, and as a guy who is restoring I've come across many types, and a lot who see it as mutiliation. I see their side of the fence, but I also see it from your side, it is crazy to think of it in those terms. But it all boils down to, are you fine with the decision, for someone who isn't and feels violated then to them they were mutilated, for you who is fine with it, then it is what it is and not something drastic to be considered mutilation. In regards to that, two things: I agree that no one need call you mutilated if you are content with what you've got, so it's far-fetched to call it that. I don't call it mutilation myself, but I do call it a violation, for those from whom consent was not obtained. Two, is it all comes down to preference, if you are good with it then great, if you are unhappy then do something about it, though I concede it shouldn't have been done in the first place without permission.
The health benefits of circumcision are well documented. There was controversy before whether or not this was the case but it has been studied long enough and there is enough evidence now to show it is a great choice on basis of health alone. I am circumcised and think it is great.
All of those documented 'health benefits' are skewed at best and reveal if any sort of benefit a minute and little to no justifiable cause for the procedure as a whole. In any case, I'm not here to argue that, since I do believe all the research doesn't show accurate methodology and data selection. And my underlying point of more than half the world isn't cut at birth and they fair just fine so seems a bit moot a practice to me, aside from the fact that in any case it should always be left to the consent of the individual. But all in all, just with the answer I gave guy-jin, if you're happy with it for you, great, if you aren't then do something about it though if you didn't get the choice it should have never happened in the first place. My biggest thing about it all is, if you want it for you then it's your prerogative, but don't want it for others who may one day not want it for themselves.
