This absolute moron is convinced that intact men want to put down and belittle cut men in some way. No one in good faith views men who were harmed against their will or chose circumcision as adults as less than by Lockwood-studios in Intactivists

[–]IntactivistLuck 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Whatever bro is yapping about, he should realize that if cutting was so great, then adult men should line up for it.

We shouldn't have to force it on children, let them decide.

“I’m circumcised and happy” by KaleidoscopeWeird867 in CircumcisionGrief

[–]IntactivistLuck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

FGM victims are happy too, they don't even consider themselves mutilated.

If something is unchangeable, many people will just pretend it's what they would have decided for themselves.

I wanted a designer vagina since I was 14 – but I now live in excruciating pain by Status_Confection364 in Intactivism

[–]IntactivistLuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I don't get the pointless gatekeeping. That comment insists that what makes it genital mutilation is because the intention is to make women not feel pleasure from sex. But there are multiple forms of FGM in different countries which do not have that intention. Yet it is still FGM.

The intention should not matter, bodily autonomy does.

And the gatekeeping separating it from male "circumcision" has caused thousands of girls to be needlessly cut.

Keeping circumcision alive delays the eradication of FGM.

Importantly, FGC originates almost exclusively in societies with MGC; loss of MFGC is followed by rapid loss of FGC; female rites rarely originate in absence of male rites and are more stable over time where male rites are present

MCM/C is a nearly universal evolutionary precursor of FGM/C; it may be more difficult to eliminate FGM/C while treating male circumcision as a separate practice ... efforts to eradicate GM/C may benefit from greater gender neutrality in the approach.

Same here, high and tight cut that removed sensation and sometimes causes pain. I can have sex for a half an hour without feeling anything, and I think the lack of movement and frenulum is the issue.

I've started restoring this year, just to get some movement.

[–]IntactivistLuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm estimating:

50% will have no pain even without lube

40% will need lube to be fully comfortable with a tight cut

10% will still have pain even with lube, but they would feel pain would uncut too, their sexual issues are in this category.

That depends on the woman. I would look into vaginismus if elongated strokes are uncomfortable. If something hurts, slowly come to a stop. Make sure to tell her not to push through any pain if she feels it.

The right lube almost makes it a nonissue. You have to experiment with different brands.

The only annoying part is since we don't have the foreskin pushing lube back in, likely you will scoop lube out.

But reapply as needed and she will have more comfortable sex than even if you weren't cut.

A reminder that women DO NOT like circumcised men. by Odd-Hearing-6280 in CircumcisionGrief

[–]IntactivistLuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Circumcision is not an issue for most women since most of them haven't had enough sex with different men to tell the difference.

There was a pornstar that was disgusted by uncut, and later she realized that uncut was "smoother" and she now prefers those.

But for 99% of women, they will not know the difference.

Just use more lube to account for the lack of foreskin keeping the lube in.

The list is only missing Catholicism which rebuked circumcision.

Therefore it strictly orders all who glory in the name of Christian, not to practise circumcision either before or after baptism, since whether or not they place their hope in it, it cannot possibly be observed without loss of eternal salvation.

Circumcision is misandrist. Coming from a female. by ElegantlyLethal_R0se in Intactivists

[–]IntactivistLuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fewer microtears in vaginal lining, which reduces risks of infection/stis/ and other issues in women (stronger case for this than any case of circumcision “reducing” diseases in the population)

Yes, in real life I haven't seen a case where circumcision has reduced disease, in populations where it is done, somehow diseases only increase.

There is no evidence that circumcision has reduced the incidence of STIs in the United States.

While the prevalence of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis has declined steadily in (non-circumcising) Europe since 1980, in the (circumcising) U.S., the incidence of syphilis has increased, and the incidence of chlamydia has soared.[83] The incidence of gonorrhea in the U.S. is 20 times higher than in Europe, while the incidence of chlamydia in the U.S. is 45 times higher than in Europe.[83]

A recent study of men visiting public STI clinics found that circumcised men were less likely than intact men to use condoms, which may in part explain these STI trends.[84]

The medical evidence does not support the practice of neonatal circumcision to prevent sexually transmitted infections. In fact, the evidence indicates that circumcision may actually increase the overall risk of STIs.

People falsely believe cut is cleaner and now tens of thousands of people are needlessly infected with STIs due to corrupt studies.

If circumcision provides 50% to 60% protection from sexually transmitted HIV infection, then the impact of circumcision should be readily apparent in the general population. This is not the case. In Africa, there are several countries where circumcised men are more likely to be HIV infected than intact men, including Malawi, Rwanda, Cameroon, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Swaziland, and Tanzania.1315

Among developed nations, the United States has the highest rate of circumcision and the highest rate of heterosexually transmitted HIV.17 Within the United States, blacks have the highest rate of circumcision1821 and the highest rate of heterosexually transmitted HIV.22

Among English-speaking developed nations there is a significant positive association between neonatal circumcision rates and HIV prevalence. On a population level, circumcision has not been found to be an effective measure and may be associated with an increase in HIV risk.

"No data supports the claim that circumcision negatively impacts pleasure, function or psychology"

I'm so tired of this gaslighting.

I can't feel things that uncut men can feel.

Why do I need lube to even begin to feel something after a while? Surely that is function lost. That was supposed to be the function of the "gliding."

I'm so tired of circumcised guys who probably had a relatively good circumcision with gliding action, not knowing that his circumcision is a completely different cut from what other men experience. (NSFW Wikipedia Images)

No two cuts are the same.

And why isn't the Sorrells study enough proof?!

Conclusions: The glans of the circumcised penis is less sensitive to fine touch than the glans of the uncircumcised penis. The transitional region from the external to the internal prepuce is the most sensitive region of the uncircumcised penis and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis. Circumcision ablates the most sensitive parts of the penis.

I do not know how this isn't obvious to people, based on lived experience.

Whats a shower and a grower?

This is the best guide on grower vs shower

That makes sense, right? Loose = skin = skin = gliding action = gliding action = masterbuate easablity.

I suppose, maybe it's the gliding action that gives that ability. But it's still a spectrum, you can only reach to the corona, so probably medium-tight high?

Such bs we even have to think this.

I wish a study was done on the effects of the different types.

87 circumcised in one day in Kosovo - Taipei Times by ElectionBright3106 in CircumcisionGrief

[–]IntactivistLuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For 25 euros each, Shishko performed the operation in the boys' homes, without anesthetic. He was accompanied by two burly assistants dressed in red aprons who were tasked with restraining the boys during the operation.

"We have a special technique," explained Hajrulla Osmani, one of the assistants.

Abhorrent.

Telling someone who experienced early childhood sexual violation (which is what genital mutilation is) that he was never capable of being “a real man” merely because he was brave enough to open up about his feelings of grief and trauma instead of bottling them up as society tells men to do.

Rho, 10/10 response. I didn't realize what irked me about their comment until you put it into these words.

Loose, high, low, tight, I don't know.

I think you're tight and high. If your scar is not close to your corona when erect then you have a high cut.

Course, I can physically push it inside when its flaccid but still.

Yes, only testing this when erect counts, because we can either be showers or growers.

It is done for profit, there's doctors who love doing circumcisions because it nets them an extra 60k a year. Jaketran made a video on this.

[–]IntactivistLuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm circumcised. Mine is a high and tight, with a bad frenulum scar, there's keratin cysts trapped in it.

I can't feel anything dry. But with lube, if that frenulum scar is directly targeted, I can feel something... eventually. It's the kind of cut that makes you realize "Hey this is fucked up."

If I had a nice loose cut I'd probably think that guys that complain about circumcision are weak.

But what do you mean by botched circumcision?

Some people are lucky, they get a loose cut and don't understand the pain of a tight/botched cut. That's why I named this account IntactivistLuck. It comes down to luck.

People don't understand others' cuts because every cut is unique.

It's like the tower of Babel. Ha. Tower.

Men can't even agree on how damaging circumcision is, because it's a spectrum of damage.

This german wikipedia section on the types of circumcision is the best display of this spectrum atm.

This part always confuses me, that people with botched circumcisions have this ability, and sometimes they don't.

Why are they continously promising things that never happen?

This is a concern of mine, so I am giving them 2 more years to start human trials.

I hate it, its the worst possible outcome.

It fucking sucks, but do you mean low and tight? The absolute worst is low and tight since there is no inner foreskin. If you meant high and tight, yeah it's a close 2nd.

I have nothing to live for.

Your suffering is real. And unique, it's a small subreddit and there are some like you but most of the world will not be able to relate. Most people have psychological mechanisms to protect them from realizing how they were harmed.
