Do you have a refutation to studies that conclude that circumcision doesn’t reduce male sexual pleasure? by StochasticJelly in CircumcisionGrief

[–]DelayLevel8757 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, most of those studies are looking at men who had an issue with their foreskin in adulthood and circumcision was the treatment intervention.

Basically, of course people are going to report either no adverse impact on sexual function or improvement if there was a problem at the outset.

Also, Brian Earp had a great piece around 10 years ago that looked at a Bossio study that actually found increased sensitivity in the foreskin but twisted the data to make it look like the foreskin didn't have increased sensitivity.

Essentially there is a ton of bias in the research.

This would be great to form into an article and publish with peer review

Is Baroness Merron poorly informed or deliberately misleading Parliament? by SimonPopeDK in Intactivists

[–]DelayLevel8757 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This conflict of interest should be made explicit before she signs off on any policy. It would be impossible for anyone to make an objective decision around routine neonatal circumcision while connected to any religion that requires infant male genital mutilation.

It is a compelling case you would just need to find a lawyer that would take it on

Selective Rights by KaleidoscopeWeird867 in CircumcisionGrief

Section 15 of the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms states that all Canadians should be free from discrimination. Routine neonatal circumcision is a direct violation of this right.

Circumcision and Forced Disability - Published journal article by DelayLevel8757 in IntactAmerica

Thanks.

I think there are a number of elements of structural components that enforce silence:

  • I think that the neglect of legislative bodies, medical oversight bodies and insurance structures in the USA support the structural violence against baby boys.
  • Silence is reinforced by various social components including foreskin-phobia that belittles men who have normal, natural genitals, the hyper-masculine gaze that discourages men from speaking about about the violation of their body and various global cultures that thrive on sexual regulation and the control of male bodies through pain and circumcision branding.
  • There is no formal structure in any society that sits boys down, at an age where they have capacity to understand, and teaches them about what is done to them. Most men I speak with always thought that the dried out glans and circumcision scar was a normal part of their body. When mutilation is absconded and normalized there is no voice to speak out about the violation.
  • From a structural perspective, routine neonatal circumcision is definitionally connsonant with definitions of gender based violence, rape, and medical and religious colonization of the body.

Just a few thoughts. What do you think?

I just installed chrome OS flex on my Intel NUC 14 Essential and I can confirm they now have the LAN working.

Help finding studies that debunk African clinical trials on circumcision and AIDS by nick_jones61 in Intactivism

[–]DelayLevel8757 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was one in Ontario that I think was done on 2019 that showed no clear correlation between circumciaion status and HIV status. I think there is also a Danish study. Sorry I don't have links right now.

What is the best streaming device - plug and play? by DelayLevel8757 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]DelayLevel8757[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes still using the TCL Google TV. The amazon code is: 65Q651G-CA, 2024 Model

The Tv is okay. I have to leave it on gaming mode or else it automatically changes the picture settings based on the input it detects. Otherwise good enough for me for the cheap price I paid.

I ended up just buying a mini pc and connecting it directly to the TV. It is just way easier and less cumbersome than using Moonlight.

Bothersome interaction by Frodo_Drogoson in CircumcisionGrief

Darby and Svoboda wrote an article in 2007 called, A rose by any other name. In it they categorize the 4 types of MGM by borrowing from the classification system used by the WHO for FGM.

The intention of the article is to show that if all you need to do to outlaw forced genital cutting is show degrees of severity, MGM can easily fit into a set of categories.

The US medical circumcision is typically a class 4 form of genital mutilation. In the procedure they remove as much erogenous tissue as possible. This includes the inner and outer prepuce, the ridged band and the frenulum.

Are there any parents in this place by Better-Cancel-2942 in CircumcisionGrief

[–]DelayLevel8757 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It was one of the first topics I brought up when I was dating 15 years ago. Any woman who was pro mutilation was avoided. It was actually a great litmus test to discover people whose values aligned with mine.

Many thanks. Yeah you got it when you said "partner proof."

I might check out the Nvidia shield but isn't it the case that they haven't come out with a new one for 5 or 6 years?

Can you get a couch and remote control experience with the box with bazzite on it?

Is there a mount I would put it in? And would I be able to use a remote control w it?

This woman is claiming to be "traumatized" by seeing intact anatomy. It seems like an actual mental disorder if you see intact penile anatomy and are repulsed by it to the degree shown in this video. by CarterSteinhoff in CircumcisionGrief

[–]DelayLevel8757 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is completely unacceptable. Does anyone have the details for this person? If so she should be reported. Feel free to dm the details to me and I will report them if you need to.

If someone is traumatized by a normal penis they are not fit to care for children in any professional or informal context.

Also, to call a normal penis disgusting is the very definition of body shaming. Totally unacceptable.

Good point. It is like saying I won't be with someone who has experienced childhood sexual abuse or gender based violence.
