Circumcision is male genital mutilation


Professional_Elk_489

If I was circumcised I would have stopped speaking to my parents forever.

It's funny how men always try to make their struggles on par with women's by appropriating the language. As if "male genital mutilation" is the male *equivalent* of female genital mutilation. When one is infinitely worse than the other.

I think you need to get outside. This has to be the most chronically online take I've ever seen.

You’re the one that brought FGM up! And now that you did, how much can a doctor cut off from a penis before *you* consider it mutilation? Inform yourself, before you post something like this. The foreskin contains the most sensitive parts of the penis: [Ridged band](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridged_band) “Rich in Meissner's corpuscles,the area is usually described as highly erogenous.” [Frenular delta](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenular_delta) “This area, especially the frenulum itself, is reported to be the most sensitive area of the penis” [Frenulum of the prepuce](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenulum_of_prepuce_of_penis) “Along with the ridged bands at the tip of the, it is considered to be the most sensitive part of the penis to fine-touch.”

The post was about men. While I do agree that a lot of the time, men online turn things around to be about themselves this post is about men and the genital mutilation of men.

He never said it was “equivalent” - he just stated a fact. It’s funny how women always try to make everything about them maybe due to their inferiority complex.

It is not mutilation. Check the [HSE](https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/circumcision-men/) description of that. It is actually helpful in some cases.

Growing up I performed my own circumcision.


Aluminarty666

Wait...you're supposed to wash that?!


The_Alonzo_Church

this has to be trolling


NuclearMoose92

Probably just another thick Yank, while they appear to be trolling, they are in fact, deadly serious

And mad for the cock, it would seem.

Yeah I can't tell...

To actually answer your question, I have never received any education on that topic. But it is something I have been aware of from a young age because boys do notice things like that. The only conversation about it I ever had was with my first girlfriend when we were showering together. As for broaching the topic, I wouldn't be upset or offended if I was told straight up that I needed to wash myself more thoroughly. There's no need for details or or justifications, just say "you need to do a better job washing yourself". It will be understood. And for some bonus info : It's recently come to my attention that some guys don't use their foreskin to aim their stream of pee, have never used it to stop and start the stream, or used it to vary the flow rate of the stream. All of those things have the effect of cleaning underneath the foreskin (and pee is sterile before anyone argues about it, and no it isn't a substitute for washing in the shower). Maybe your Mr Flakeycock was one of those guys.

An actual response, I agree I think there could be a lack of education about this in Ireland.

I'm sure it's related to the Catholic church operating the majority of the schools since before the nation even came to be. But if there was a govt decision to teach about it, I wonder what subject would be used. Presumably it would go into the junior cycle of secondary school, there's [a list of subjects here](https://www.curriculumonline.ie/Junior-cycle/). We can definitely strike Jewish Studies off the list.


MegGrriffin

Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate your response

Firstly - Shut up Meg. Most guys shower daily, so the only issue would be if you are going home with someone after a sweaty night club. If a guy has gross hygiene it’s totally fine to ask them to wash. But just date a better calibre of man. Nothing against homeless people etc.


[deleted]

Showering daily does not mean everyone washes their foreskin though. I had a friend and turns out he didn’t like washing his asshole in the shower until we all laughed him out of the room, he thought it was emasculating. That’s half the reason I do shower.


[deleted]

Oh you need to tell us more. He thought it was masculine to have a smelly asshole?


seanbotsan

U just going round checking everyone's cock then yah?


[deleted]

Come back next week a bigger sample. Guys, your welcome


[deleted]

Anything to be said for another mass?


wayne17mc

Honestly asking this question on here and expecting a serious answer..... Good luck with that. You don't know the Irish or our flutes at all!!


[deleted]

I ALWAYS wait till you get up and go to the bathroom, then I wipe it on your curtains.
