It’s interesting that the pro circumcision crowd who rant about hygiene don’t support girls having their labia cut off to prevent grime from accumulating between the folds. Circumcision should be reserved for actual medical reasons, like phimosis, and if possible at age of consent.

The “hygiene” argument just shows me how backwards Americans are

Have the stupid cunts not heard of soap?

  More like everyone’s too socially awkward to want to discuss any form of hygiene directly. Kinda wild really.

  As a young child I didn’t know I had to wash between my toes, and I got athletes foot.
  
  If only a kind doctor had cut all my toes off when I was born.

  What is this “soap” you speak of?

  You are meant to wash under the foreskin obviously but only with water. Soap is generally considered too harsh for that area

    But obviously there are times one uses soap. It’s part inside, part outside. You have to keep outside out of inside.

If you don’t wash behind your ears, bacteria will grow and cause it to smell. By their logic, they should be chopping off ears as well.

The purpose of circumcision is to make maturation and sex less pleasurable as it removes about 1/3 of sensory nerves and meant to make it more difficult to masturbate because you can’t just pull on tight skin. You can still perform the basic acts of sex and masturbation, but it’s not as pleasurable. Likewise, one can still hear without ears even if it’s not as good as those with intact ears.

Just goes to show how insane these people are.

  Jeez, if you make masturbation MORE pleasurable, teenage boys will never get anything done. It would single-handedly (pun not intended, but I’ll take it) crash the gaming industry.

and if possible at age of consent.

While I agree with the majority of the argument, I don’t agree with this point. Age of consent is mainly a political thing, disregarding the actualities involved with teenagers and sexual life.

Biologically, pubescence which is around 13 is where this decision should be undertaken, as this is the point where the individual is sexually mature.
