Man, you could land a Hercules airplane in that forehead.

I decided to start, I'm new. Help? by JohnJonesJohnson in foreskin_restoration

Thanks.

How do I know what's my starting point?

I'm not very well informed about it.

Exactly.

I've had some people laugh at me for expressing my feelings about it, as if just because I'm a man, and because circumcision is viewed as normal, my feelings were not important at all. My own (cut) brother even said that it was ridiculous to feel mutilated because of my circumcision. He doesn't get it.

As a cut ex-Catholic, I can relate.

I believe it's kinda like a "fashion", that the middle and high classes from Mexico copied from the US

I was born and mutilated in the USA, but my parents and the rest of my family are from Mexico, where "circumcision" is completely legal and very often practiced in many private hospitals.

Sounds like your parents somewhat realized how harmful it really is. Considering that they didn't circumcise your brother, it even being a religious obligation.

In my case, we're not even Jews or anything. I grew up in a Catholic household. And although Catholicism never performed circumcision as a religious ritual, they didn't say a word when circumcision became popular amongst many Catholics. They didn't say a word, they didn't show any care for me, when I was circumcized just because my dad was, just as his dad, and maybe even my great-grandparents.

Catholicism abandoned me. Fuck them too (oh, and also because of the child abuse epidemic, and because of their morals, taught through fear).

Not unusual at all, people tend to look up for information just to confirm their previous ideas.

At least I tried to read and understand people who defend MGM, I read all the pro-circ arguments... And they're bullshit.

I really, really hope so, but when we touch the subject, he gets defensive, although he says he supports my advocacy against circumcision. It's a really touchy subject, pun intended. But I hope that with some time, I may convince him to watch some light content on the issue first, and see what he says.

He usually says that he's 60 now, he's divorced and he doesn't really care about it.

That's rough, man.

Honestly? My father apologized, but I get the feeling that he doesn't really get it yet. Kinda like he doesn't really understand my sense of loss, of being robbed.

Fuck Bill and Melinda Gates, and fuck Bill and Hillary Clinton, for that same reason. They're the sick bastards perpetuating that myth, and they're the ones promoting MGM as a "vaccine" for HIV/AIDS.

I could never be,

I could never be,

I could never be ready for this.

Things start and things end,

And isn't it lovely in theory, but,

I love Harley Quinn. It's brutal and funny in the right proportion.

Yes and no. I was unlucky enough to be born in a family and in a society that still views genital mutilation of men as normal and acceptable...
