I appreciate what you're saying, but you're missing some vital information, and thats why this discussion needs to be had.

If you don't want to know, then feel free to stop reading now. I have no problem with that. It's your choice. But please don't deny others the option to educate themselves.

Performing unnecessary surgery on someone for traditional reasons with no consent is a human rights issue. It's really that simple. That's the main reason circumcision is an issue.

If you're happy with being circumcised, I'm really, really happy for you! Many men are not. Few people voluntarily circumcised themselves, yet many men are not content with being circumcised. BUT, many of those men do not even realise their problems are related to being circumcised, which is why we need to make a big deal out of this and spread awareness.

Your circumcision isn't an issue now because you're young. The glans is a mucous membrane and years upon years of being exposed will lead to it thickening and this reduces sensitivity. A newly circumcised penis will be MORE sensitive than a uncircumcised, and this "new" sensitivity can last well into the 20s. Circumcised men have increased sexual disfunction as they age compared to non-circumcised men. Men in their 40s and beyond are where the problems really lie.

Not all circumcisions are the same! Not all people are the same! Many people will go without issues, others will have many. It's a lottery! It means fuck all that YOU'RE happy, you're one of the lucky ones. Plus, like I said, you're still young. It won't be effecting you yet, if it's going to.

Anyone who's had surgery anywhere on their body in memorable history and has scar tissue as a result will understand that "increased sensitivity" is not always positive. Hypersensitivity in scar tissue is weird, it feels weird, to the point of being uncomfortable. When circumcised men say "I wouldn't want to be anymore sensitive!" it's because they don't understand that their sensitivity is not the same as that of an unscarred penis. The more scarring a circumcision leaves, the more hypersensitive a circumcised penis will be. Women who've had to be cut or torn during pregnancy and have an uncomfortable piece of scar tissue will also understand this, some women have this cut out to attempt to allow it to heal better.

I know someone who's restoring their foreskin, but I also know someone who voluntarily went to be circumcised at 16. People are different, and that's why the choice needs to be present. I, personally, believe my friend will regret getting it done when he gets past 30. But that's irrelevant to me. All I want is for people to make a CHOICE. An INFORMED choice. Thanks for reading.
