(a) It is RIC that is "utterly sadistic."
Because you say so?
(b) Could you list for the world's enlightenment "all the [supposed] benefits of adult circumcision"?
Well the one benefit for me is that I no longer have to worry about my phimosis foreskin. But other than that I see no difference sexually between my uncut penis and my cut penis. At least now I dont get the discomfort in my foreskin and frenulum area after sex or masturbation.
(c) Because the "focus on the genitals" is the focus of this thread.
As the original poster said the focus was RIC. Other than my previous post I havent really argued any grounds of RIC
(d) The foreskin's "adherence to the penis head" is not aways complete in all individuals "right before puberty or shortly before onset."
To rephrase...when he is able to pull his foreskin back is better, for me it was at that time, for him may be different. Fact still remains I wouldnt have a problem sitting down with him then and discussing it.
(e) Is it really the fatherly thing to do to mutilate a son irreparably, even fully recognizing that the boy may later "take issue" with the decision? [Yes, you'll take issue with the word "mutilation," but see its lexicographical definition.]
I wont even address the word mutilation. But I will say this, you cant tell me how to raise my son and as of this point right now the act is not categorized as mutilation, sexual assault or any other misnomer. Hey may, and he may not I am prepared to argue my stance and I can only hope he does not run into people who carry the wrong information.
(f) No one can argue with your esthetic preference, or your right to choose for yourself...so long as it does not sanction RIC. [See the first sentence of my preceding post (Link 78).]
And see my number of posts that exclaim...
There is no peer reviewed AND subsequently and successfully replicated study that proves any type of circumcision decreases sexual sensation. I understand your moral point on RIC, and to be honest it is COMPLETELY understandable, but right now it is your personal opinion even though it is a valid one. While my preference should not and WILL NOT sanction RIC NEITHER does your opinion or preference. Furthermore, your argument against RIC which is supported by a sensitivity or lack thereof argument is unfounded. Therefore switching to a moral based support system is more logical and is much harder to refute, however as previously stated, it is an opinion.
Its the same as people who dont want to pierce a girls ear, a man who decides to pierce his penis or his foreskin, a man who decides to restore his foreskin, a woman getting breast implants, or someone getting botox.
Furthermore your comparison to female circumcision is also irrelevant seeing as there are not only peer reviewed studies their showing concrete evidence not only from a sexual standpoint but also from a downright functional standpoint and hormonal standpoint of how it effects a woman and those subsequent studies have been replicated successfully NUMEROUS times. Clear difference.
I will acknowledge that if in my lifetime such evidence is produced then it would be a different argument.
