When do you think Circumcisions should be done?

[Mastur]

Just wanted to point out this goes both ways...

Not sure I'm following what it is you're trying to say... Are you inferring Mandoman is suffering from the same disorder?

No that people who are at the opposite extreme (people who feel they are missing something or restorers who feel stretching resolves everything). I dont think mandoman suffers from anything actually. He is uncut. He can only speak up for what he knows.

If a person is happy with his penis, whichever form it may be then who are we to tell them otherwise?????

It doesn't go both ways. Restoring foreskin is returning the body closer to its natural intended state. With reduced sexual response due to circumcision this could be considered a medical need. Removing body parts such as foreskin without medical need is an example of body dysmorphic disorder - especially since this impairs sexual response.

Agreed.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) (previously known as dysmorphophobia[1] is sometimes referred to as body dysmorphia or dysmorphic syndrome[2]) is a (psychological) somatoform disorder in which the affected person is excessively concerned about and preoccupied by a perceived defect in his or her physical features (body image).

Now you tell me who has the disorder????????????

IT GOES BOTH WAYS.

1. If I sit down and decide I want to alter my circumcised penis and STRETCH the remaining skin in order to make the skin longer then I have the above disorder. I'm sorry, it is not a natural state. You do not have a foreskin you just have an amount of stretched skin over your nob. Its a placebo at best

2. If I decide to get a circumcision as an adult for no reason other than I think there is a defect or I am not happy with it, but by all accounts it is perfectly functioning then I have the above disorder.

IT GOES BOTH WAYS!!!

Stop feeding people BS

Except with one the choice of circumcision was never theirs to begin with. The 'disorder' is a rebellion against that gross infringement on their human rights. The second disorder is applicable to those cuckoo enough to 'think' that a foreskin is a defect...!

 

[B_infid3l]

I think circumcisions should be done only when they're medically necessary, or when the person's an adult and they decide that's what they want.

I think that, unless medically necessary, circumcision should be considered just like any other elective plastic surgery, not covered by insurance the way it is with many insurance companies now in the US.

From what I've read, I find it hard to believe anyone even charges for circumcision. They make so much money off of it. Foreskins end up in tissue banks, and are sold and used in research, skin grafting, cosmetic/anti-wrinkle creams, and some prescription drugs.

I read that one foreskin can be used for decades to produce miles of skin, and has the potential to generate up to $100,000 in profit, from fees from fibroblasts that are created and sold from just one foreskin's cells.

I think that people should be informed of and have to agree to exactly what their circumcised foreskin may be used for before the procedure is done.

I also think any parent who decides their baby should be circumcised should have to stay with them for the procedure. The horror of being involved in that would probably keep most circumcisions from happening. Bleh.

optional at the same age you can get a piercing or tattoo.

 

[herkimer snow]

Maybe tatooists could be licensed to provide circumcisions. "Oh, you want a tattoo? Hey, we're running a special on circumcisions. Do you want that included in the package? Well, if you don't want it cut off, we could do a tattoo. The dragon is popular. It really ripples during a good wank. And if you want it cut off later, you could always mount it as a wall display or a coffee table piece. So, can we deal?"

Sorry, friends, it's early and things got a little out of hand.

 

[MattXXX]

None of those options I agree with. It shouldn't be "recommended" at any age. It's the man's choice, to be made at 16.

I´ve done it when i was 12, but i think it should be done, if necessary, at baby born time, it's harder for the doctors, still, you probably wont remmeber the pain. Because the thing is - very very painful! Still, i think it improves the sex, i never had sex w gland, even soo i think it feels really good to feel your girl's vagina without the gland!

Hope i 've helped!

Agreed circumcision is very painful but the fact that infants may not remember the pain does not mean it does not have long term effects on the infant. It is not well understood but there are studies that indicate that infant circumcision may cause psychological changes that may affect the person as an adult.

Use of anaesthetic is limited with infants and when used is not always completely effective. Also, when done to infants there is more chance of serious complications. Also, the foreskin is adhered to the glans in an infant - the foreskin must be ripped away from the glans - this is also very, very painful. The glans a high concentration of pain receptors. So the pain for a baby will be even more than someone that is older - this also can lead to long term permanent damage to the penile sensory system.

If you were circumcised at 12 I am guessing you come from a country where this is done for religious reasons. It sounds like they didn't use anaesthetic for you either. That is horrible, it must be a very bad memory.

Just a slight correction - you mean you never had sex with your foreskin (the glans is the head of the penis - I am sure you still have that). If you haven't had sex with your foreskin, how do you know it is better without it. The foreskin is rich in sensory nerves that play an important role in sexual response. Also, circumcision has long term negative affects. If you are still young your glans may still be somewhat sensitive - what about 20 years from now when it is numb from exposure.

Circumcisions should not be performed if it is not medically necessary.

IT DOESN'T GO BOTH WAYS!!!

My penis was not defective until it was decided for me that the "natural state" was defective by our body dsymorphic society that is obsessed with its "perception" that foreskins are evil and and thus take perfect normal healthy body parts and alter them without the owners consent.

The fact that our foreskins were sliced from our bodies is not a "perceived" defect. WTF - we are missing our foreskins, a functional part of our bodies has been removed. That function is no longer available. That is not perception, that is fact, it is reality.

Do you need any further clarification on what "perceived' means?

On the other hand, intact men that are obsessed with removing a perfectly healthy foreskin....... that is another story.

I and other restorers are quite aware that restored foreskins are not equal to our original foreskins. My previous post in this thread I stated "Restoring foreskin is returning the body closer to its natural intended state." That is true, you cannot argue that. The fact that it is not 100% equivalent to a real foreskin is one of the reasons this practice should be banned - currently it is a irreversible decision and in the case of infants the decision is not authorized by the owner.

Since you do not have any experience with restoration how do you know it is a placebo? Where are your studies to prove that this technique is not somewhat effective in compensating for the negative consequences of circumcision? And even if it is a placebo affect (which it is not), it is still a positive outcome.

If you are looking for who is best qualified to start a mushroom farm, take a look in the mirror.

 

[Mastur]

And the sad part is, no matter how many times one explains this plainly and logically, they still will obtusely carry on advocating this attrocity...!

 

[darkbond007]

I'm not arguing this with you guys.

It is a fact that if you have an obsession over any part of your body you have to the point where you want to change it you have body dysmorphic disorder

Having a circumcision is NOT A DEFECT AT ALL!!!! This is where you and I differ. Look if you dont believe it to be a defect it NEVER will be. You think every circumcised guy has a defect, while we dont think that way. And no...the foreskin is NOT perfect in EVERY man. Sometimes it needs to be removed and when those times come up people are entitled to do it and should know it changes nothing.

IT GOES BOTH WAYS!!!

 

[Hoss]

I think a circumcision should be compulsory and done at whatever age a boy reaches puberty.

 

[B_liveboy]

i think it should only be done when its one choice or when its medically needed like with me, when i was a kid i spent some years in the US i had a problem with my foreskin the doc took it off there and then never had a problem since.

 

[joseph_hung]

i think, rather than ordering a circumcision for your baby, the doctor should walk in when the guy turns 18 and ask if he wants him to chop off the end of his dick. guess they wouldn't stay in business very long with that though

 

[DiscoBoy]

Routine infant circumcision is retarded.

RIC is an easy way for an old hack to pad his retirement for sure. Also, a sad reason why circ is not going away anytime soon unless it can be litigated away.
