Puh-leeze stop making circumcision the reason that everything is wrong with everyone, with the world, etc., and that medical professionals are just out for the money. The few dollars they make doing a circumcision isn't even worth their time. Parents make the choice. If they want it done, fine, if not, fine. 99% of the cut men in this world don't harbor any resentment. I think that your anger towards your parents and the dr. that circumcised you are reason enough to get counseling.

I think less than 99% are happy. A lot less.
And, come on, you know if you keep talking about it being a parent's choice this will turn into every other circ thread on this board.
Absolutely. Or a lawsuit.
Another good reason to abandon the practice. I think it's the circumcisers who need their heads examined though.
Okay. Is there any information that would make you reexamine your foregone conclusions? That's what information is for you know. To help us update our thinking and come to new conclusions.
Yeah, they got so many of us we're unnaturally normal in the U.S.
OMG, love your new avatar.
This is a reply to #53, earlier today.
I regret that you had problems with your foreskin when young. You and those reading this should know that such a problem is rare and thus isn't justification for circumcising all infants to prevent a 1 in x-thousands problem.
Your parents made the right decision.
Likewise, I don't understand the anger of the cut mongers. I've been called "dipshit" and recently "cunt" and yet I've never employed a vulgar name against the cut mongers. And I plan to keep that scorecard one-sided. Strangely it's the cut mongers that seem to complain the most about "anger". What's their problem?
The bolded text says a lot. Anyhow, circ. is like a deformity. There are rare cases in which a baby is born without a foreskin. That would be a deformity and so being cut as an infant is like a deformity
O.K. I won't say what you don't want me to say.

Not all infant circumcisions go smoothly. Therefore if there's no medical indication it shouldn't be done. Even if an infant circumcision goes "perfectly" complications can ensue. For instance: meatal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the meatus [slang: peehole]. Jerry/dx and I had that and it happens to about 9% of all circumcised boys and only to circumcised boys. I don't remember my circ. but I can see the damage meatal stenosis caused.
Your parents made the right decision.
There's a word for that: circumfetish.
This is not a personal attack on you or your parents. A Phd can't possibly be misinformed for God's sake he's a Phd.
Do you remember being uncut? Is it personal that you just don't like the shar pai look?

Goes both ways. Read all the threads about this. Those of us who are not circumcised are talked about as though we have inflamated green puss dripping off of our cocks because we still have foreskin. And my problem with this is that this attitude has never happened to me in my personal life. It has only happened in threads on this site. I really think these threads have beat the dead dog until there is nothing left to beat. I for one promise to never start a thread about cut vs. uncut. And I hope to never see another.
Oh boy, when I was younger I was born into a muslim family, but my father chose not to practice religion. Therefore, he didn't feel the need for me to get circumcized. So everyone of my cousins, all nearly my age when I was a boy teased me etc. I remember when I was younger, around 4-5, my dad would tell me to pull the forskin back but I was scared because I thought my head would fall off (I thought there was a ball inside my foreksin. Oh kids those days). But i'm not that upset. Living in the states and in school during gym while your dressing can be crucial. But I always had nearly the biggest dick, so if anyone every said anything about me being uncut, I would just laugh and say who's more hung?
But it's SO much easier blaming someone and everybody. Counseling is hard. Complaining daily on LPSG is SO easy.
Why worry about the speck in your brothers eye and ignore the plank in your own?
Since both of you have mentioned "counseling," please state in writing who specifically needs it. Also state your Psychology training and certifications.
Ahh you can't have it both ways. Either you require everyone to have training and certifications or you require no one. Your gang, and I do hate to divide the world up that way but for this argument I will, finds it very convenient to divide up the world that way.
Now I can't wait for the inevitable name-calling to begin. I speculate in less than 2 hours. And by the usual 4-5 members who do a better job than Predator drones in striking their targets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And that ALONE points to some kind of benefits from counseling.

Prove it. Oh, and try not to use all of the anti circ propagandist studies and websites. I know that's almost impossible (actually completely impossible because the above statement is a bunch of crap.)

And counseling wouldn't hurt...

It's not what you advocate, it's how you do it and the anger that you hold. I like being cut, no big deal. You don't see websites and organizations devoted to circumcision. You don't see people attacking someone's religion if they don't circumcize.
I think that if the ant-circumcision group would calm down a little they would get more people to listen to them. It's the method, not the matter.
The "training and certifications" tactic is something I learned from your side. In another thread, in which my side was advising stretching routines for a tight foreskin, your side said we weren't qualified to give "medical advice" and asked us to state our medical certifications. Is that familiar? And yet in that same thread someone on your side (not you) recommended circumcision, an irreversible surgery. Remember?
It's now 15+ hours later and there was no "name-calling". Your side accuses my side of name-calling and yet your side does more of it. Please review the following samples.

Ugly isn't it?
My side has members in Europe, No. America, and Australasia so I will concede we do have a worldwide advantage. And there's not much you can do about that. There's only one other country that practices widespread infant circumcision and they don't speak English as a second language. I feel your pain.:smile:
Predator drones?
*The MQ-1 is sooooooo last century. It's follow-on is the heavier MQ-9 Reaper (p/k/a Predator "B").*
I'll concede Chico's terrorist comment was over-the-top and not helpful to my side. But it's not anger on his part, he's an extremist. There are times I'd like to throttle him. When I read something like that I roll my eyes and skip it. I figure a lot of others do that as well.
Do you think the anger is one-sided? Take a look the "samples" in the preceding message for context.
Huh???
My side opposes an single procedure. It may be perceived as an attack on a religion but it isn't. I don't recall anyone on my side "attacking" a religion. If it happened please state the post it happened in. I was called "anti-Semitic" and I can state who and which post, if requested. Oh ... and it happened more than once.
Only one-side needs to calm down? Only one???
