Comment

It should be limited to medical professionals who do it for medical reasons, not for religious reasons.

Also I’m circumcised and it happened to work out well so I have no regrets, but it was done by a doctor and not as some backwards religious ceremony.

  Think it grew popular in the U.S. as an anti-masturbation thing. There were a LOT of those. This Kellog man was super into restricting masturbation and made cornflakes because a bland and unexciting meal would aid in preventing that.
  
  To be fair, the colonisers were primarily religious puritans whose views were too extreme for Europe, hence why they sought new lands. It’s almost like a cult.

    You know, I think I’m going to get out of bed, go eat some breakfast and then go to poundtown on my dick!
    
    then, after a bland breakfast…
    
    ugh, that sucked… I don’t even feel like beating it any more, might as well go read the bible or something.

  It’s a bad practice that should be banned for everything except medical issues such as phimosis.
  
  That’s what I said, but apparently not in enough words.

  Personally, I’ll have my newborns arms amputated so it’s easier to clean the armpits

Absolutely, of course it should be allowed for medical reasons.

    I shall rephrase my original comment then: “unnecessary circumcision of newborns should be illegal”
