Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

    You would only notice it if you get it done after growing up. I don’t understand the logic here. Have you been circumcised?

      Many men lose sensation over the course of their life. Circumcised men seem to be affected by this much more severeley (anecdotal experience).

      I’m in my mid thirties, circumcised at birth, and feel virtually nothing on my glans. Any form of intimacy that involves my dick is more of a chore than anything else. And no, the problem is not that I wank too often or have some unhealthy porn consumption (pretty much non-existent).

      Do you think it’s okay to burn a clitoris if the girl hasn’t had sex before? Can we blind babies because they will never know what they have lost?

      Can we violate anyone’s bodily autonomy as long as they will not remember what life was like before the violation?
