I kinda had a weird discussion with someone about circumcision. They said circumcising baby boys is mutilation.

I just cant see how its mutilation, I don't feel mutilated.

What do you think? If you're a guy and circumcised, do you feel mutilated?

It's part of religion.

But then again, so is female circumcision, and that's pretty much frowned upon.

I hold no opinion.

Why did you get circumcised? For the supposed cleanliness benefits? (I don't know any circumcised men, can't say that for sure)

Because my dad wanted me circumcised lol. I was only a few days old so it wasn't as if I could tell them NO.

But in saying that, I like my dick, I don't think its mutilated.

Some consider it mutilation as it is irreparable (nothing can restore your penis to the state it was in pre-circumcision) and almost wholly done for purely societical, religious or even just cosmetic reasons.

There are a lot of anti circumcision radicals out there and are obsessed with the subject.  I guess its possible to be mutilated during an improperly performed circumcision but I would not refer to all people that are circumcised as being mutilated.  In fact the greater majority are done properly and have no ill effect on the appearance or function of a penis.

However, I don't feel circumcision is necessary except in extreme cases which account for less than 1% of males born.  In these cases circumcision may be the only choice.

Except in medically necessary cases it doesn't matter if a boy is or isn't circumcised.  Both function properly.

I respect your opinion.

However, my future sons will be circumcised.

As you stated you had no choice as a baby.  When it comes to cosmetic surgery I will choose to allow any boys that I am the Father of to choose for themselves if they want their foreskin cut off or not.

Well I consider it a tradition, not cosmetic surgery.
