I'm curious as to why you keep referring to circumcision as mutilation. ......................................
I have always refused to call what is done to innocent babies who can not give consent as "circumcision" because that is actually an ancient Jewish religious ritual, and Kellogg and others who started the 20th century practice of penile alteration adopted that term for it in order to try to give it an air of legitimacy.
I adopted the term "infant male genital mutitlation" because it is provocative language and it is the language used by the female activists who have been successful in getting infant female genital mutilation outlawed in the United States and throughout the civilized world.
I have no desire to taunt those upon whose body this penile alteration was perpetrated when they were innocent babies. When I was a child, I was the only intact male in my age group, and the other boys tried to ridicule and taunt me because I was different. But I was so fortunate to have a father who had saved me from having one of the best parts of my dick cut off, and he gave me the knowlege and wherewithall to set them straight about the fact that I was the one with normal natural intact genitals and they were the ones who had been fixed like a dog. Once I made them accept that I was the one who was normal and natural, then I have had no further desire to taunt anyone.
I am aware that there are degrees of mutilation, and that the vast majority of those who were subjected to penile alteration as infants are not horribly mutilated. Most of them have no concept of what was done to them, just like the dogs out in my dogpen do not know that anything was done to them. That is what makes it such a heinous violation of basic human rights, an innocent baby is not able to make a decision or give informed consent to having a part of his anatomy removed. My own father is the only man that I have ever known who had his healthy normal foreskin removed as an adult. He was not an activist like me, because they had done it to my older brother, but he saved me from it, warned me to never let any woman tell me to submit to such a thing, and he spent the rest of his life telling me "Your mama sent me to the doctor and had me butchered!". But there was nothing remarkable about what was done to him. He looked just like the majority of altered males. My older brother was the first in my family to be born in a hospital, and he was the first to be altered. The doctor told my parents about how nasty and disgusting the intact penis would be, so they had it done to him and my mother insisted that it be done to my father as well. It was a bad job on my brother, but I doubt that he has ever realized it. His scar is at the base of his cock, and there simply was not enough skin left for growth at puberty. When I would see him going to the bathroom with morning wood, the skin was stretched so tight and was so thin that you could see through it.
I am going to advocate for the innocent babies until infant male genital mutilation is made illegal throughout the world. I have no desire to make those to whom this has already been done feel bad about themselves. I have never rejected anyone sexually because of an altered penis. Of course the penis remains functional after the foreskin is removed. The loss of the nerve endings and blood vessels is not severe enough to prevent sexual function. And the loss of sensation due to the keritization and toughening of the glans and what was meant to be the inner skin of the penis is not enough to prevent sexual function. But common sense and the testimony of my own father tells me that this greatly lessens the sexual pleasure of those to whom this has been done.
Those who have the foreskin removed as an adult, giving consent to the surgery, because of phimosis or other penile defect, or simply because of their own personal desire for penile alteration, are likely to be very pleased with the result of the surgery. I am also very pleased for them if they had their foreskin removed as an act of their own free will.
