ORIGINAL: slaveboyforyou Didn't you start a thread about this very topic awhile back? Why does it bug you so much? I'm circumcised, and it wasn't done for religious reasons. I wasn't brought up in a religious home. It was just a common practice in hospitals in 1975, when I was born. It was a common practice in hospitals here for most of the 20th Century. I wouldn't call it mutilation. I assure you that my penis functions just fine, and I've enjoyed it thoroughly throughout my 33 years of living. I think some people here have got the complete wrong end of the stick with what I asked, first of all it seems to be assumed that I am ribbing at religion, and then it seems I am ribbing at the act of circumcision, let me assure you all, my intent was neither of these. My question, the thing I was seeking, was from where did it originate, my understanding was from Judaism, but it seems according to some here, it goes back further than that. I was looking for speculation or fact as to where it all started, what possibly could be a reason. So, to the use of the word ' mutilation ', well according to 'Wiki', the online encyclopedia, mutilation is defined as ; Mutilation or maiming is an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of the (human) body, usually without causing death. To me, mutilation describes circumcision adequately, and it certainly does with FGM, Female genital mutilation, which has also been called circumcision. Maybe I have got it wrong, but if circumcision in women is called mutilation, why then cannot the word be applied to male circumcision ? But yes, I have brought up this subject before, then it was fact finding which lead me to research quite deeply to a level of understanding I am content with. What lead me to this question that seems to have caused much controversy, is the fact that I was talking with a female friend, who pondered if an intact foreskin had any action on the stimulation of the clitoris, yes, it is drawn back in intercouse, but where it ends up, loose skin, does that help in the stimulation of the clit. But what are my feelings, well, I have been done, the reason why, well that is elusive, but I am ok with it, and to be honest, I think a cut cock looks quite handsome.
