Circumcision is synonymous with genital mutilation, it's the same for men too.

That is true. As a side point, it is also what the Samurai keeps under his pillow at night, in order to defend himself, IIRC. On looking at examples in the British Museam's Japanese gallery, it seems that they would be too long, IMHO, for indoor fighting. They are still pretty large.

That's her, I recognize the name of the book. IIRC, she's a Somoli living in Britain.


As for the shears, MtG was being kind. Imagine the shears were rusty and blunt. Imagine the not only took off your penis, but your scrotum too, then sewed your nuts back inside your body using thorns as setures.

Female Genitle Multilation is the single most horrible thing that can be done to a woman short of killing her. The worst part about it is it is largely women who do it to their children.

Your friend should volunteer to undergo the procedure. Why don't you read Waris' book, linked above?

Why? It's a good question. I was also wondering how bad female 'circumcision' was and what it really entails.

Its not just the reduction of pleasure, its the feeling of being physically molested at a young age, without concent. thats what really is bad about this practice.


I feel like I was molested as a kid too being cut like that

Diss, how do you know that your sexual pleasure has been reduced by being circumsized? I mean, you were a newborn when they did it, weren't you? If so, there's no way you should have been able to have a comparative experience — i.e., sex with an uncircumsized organ, and sex w/a circumsized organ.

AFAIK there is a chance the cut could go wrong, and damage the penis. Any chance of that happening means it will never happen to my sons.

seeing that story of the Canadian who was circumsized by using some electrical method unsuccessfully and then changed into a girl should convince anyone that the risk just isn't worth it.

That's your choice. I think it beats the risks on them getting all sorts of deseases. There's the risk of both of them, and in modern society, both are small.

Having it done makes anal sex far less risky to you and her (or him as the case may be).

Mutilated penis, or diseased penis? Its a tough choice. But as you say they are both pretty low risk.
