The video I shared above is a recent interview I did where I discuss the physical and psychological trauma I’ve experienced from being circumcised as an infant. A chick from the Nordic region also delivers testimony on how her sex life was impacted by her partner being cut.
I think circumcision does not affect sex life!!
> I think circumcision does not affect sex life!!
@jiggu badmash how do you judge that? How can something be decreased and not be less than it was initially?
@jiggu badmash, circumcision removes erotic tissue/structures from the penis. It certainly impacts sensory feedback. I’m not really sure what you mean by “sex life” though.
@everyone The first MAN HEALTH with Trav & Jer episode is about to drop! I will share it here. Please share this on your social media feeds and everywhere you possibly can to help it gain traction.
PEPFAR is not supposed to be based on the politics of religious bigotry, but it is for Repugnicants. [sic, sick]

@tom i think its only remove prepuce which is skin covering the glans penis
The foreskin has several unique physiological functions. (https://youtu.be/D_dzeDvx2QA) The foreskin represents at least a third of the penile skin. It protects the glans from abrasion, dryness, contact with clothes, and keratinization. It also increases sexual pleasure by sliding up and down on the shaft, stimulating the glans by alternately covering and exposing it. This also decreases the superficial friction applied to the vaginal walls and creates more of a massaging effect. (https://youtu.be/cOZQ-2rV2zQ) Not to mention that it is highly erogenous tissue in and of itself.

It seems like this article is disingenuous. It looks like at the time, FGM was already illegal under federal law and there was no evidence that it was happening in the state of Maine - so it seems like it would be redundant to have another law specifically making it illegal in Maine. Democrats were particularly opposed to a line in the bill which made it a felony to knowingly consent to fgm of a minor - they were concerned that immigrants coming from other countries, who had consented to fgm in those countries prior to moving to the United States, would poentially be persecuted in the United States. Perhaps you think they should be, but the article you posted doesn't really engage with the actual issues when it makes the lazy assertion that Democrats were arbitrarily opposed to it due to "racism." Given the context (no legitimate reason for having an extra law, vulnerabilites to immigrants), I frankly do think it was worth questioning the motives for the folks trying to get that law passed ,and whether or not it was related to racism or a desire to seem more hostile to immigrants who come from countries where fgm is routinely performed. https://apnews.com/article/a3f7fab597724dd4bbe32de03cc8f753
Oh dear. Seems so apocalyptic..
I need a sparring partner. Is anyone here for circumcision?
we only perform circumcisions every other Tuesday. 😄
I shouldn't get mine done a third time.
If anyone is able to play the devil's advocate let me know. Mostly the convincing is about culture in my point of view.
I have no clue about why it’s good or bad. So you can tell me your position and I can be a skeptic about it. Without offering alternate information.
Well the problem is that people that want circ are either following a popular tradition (penis fashion) or are convinced that this is the necessary for salvation, or some other important god related thing. the first is easier to dispel, the other is obstinate religion.
I think Travs approach is medical and science related. But that hardly convinces people.
Let’s start with the 1st view then. Wouldn’t it be morally ok to want it as fashion? How are piercings different?
To want it as fashion for yourself, fine.
To want it as fashion on someone else, not fine.
That’s what I thought malachi meant.
When he said for fashion.
For yourself
