    I’m from muslim family but atheist and have nothing against it. Like, it is just operation that become too popular at some point. Or was forced on people to prevent an epidemy of some sort. It is still recommended across many surgeons at least as far as i know. It is just easier to recover from when you are younger. Similar to recovering from smallpox.

        I am surprised by amount of negativity on this sub. Like it is almost impossible to have a decent conversation. People just go nuts about operation which is about hygiene. Good luck, guys. I just don’t see myself here

          Yeah, why would so many people have negative views on chopping off part of a baby’s body?

          Weird.

          I’m cut, and like it that way. But your position is flawed.

          If you believe in evolution then you can agree that foreskin exists for a biological function, right? It’s not about hygiene, that’s dogma. It’s wild that it’s based in religion originally because if ‘god’ made you in his image it’s pretty fucked up to immediately alter a baby to be different.

          It’s funny when people assign the term ‘negative’ to anything they don’t want to hear about.
          You don’t have to read anything you don’t want to. Move on if you don’t have anything to contribute

            It was originally the Jewish convent with God. Idk why I was sliced, but it became common in the U.S.

              It’s an oddly barbaric tradition to keep around for so long without a religious rationalization. Most circumcised Americans are not Jewish

          If you’re an absolute pig that doesn’t wash his penis, yeah it’s better for hygiene. I have a better solution than chopping of your peepee, though: how about you fucking wash it?

      The smallpox analogy is false. It is a simple procedure as an adult. There is no reason to force it on people who can’t consent.
