You're trying to mix Apples and Oranges here...

By the way, thanks rediscovered. There speaks a woman of compassion and sensitivity. x

Mr inquisitive is right. Women can have their preferences but we men should make decisions about our bodies. Just as you women should about yours! I'm afraid sidenyalive you have just dismissed real concerns that men have about this. To dismiss it as not a sexual part and say it doesn't matter is very patronising. I would never say to any of you women - Why make such a fuss about your periods, or discharge. For goodness sake, it's the man/boys body and you should accept that it his choice and his alone whether he wants to be circumcised. period. Also, some concerns have been raised about hygiene before oral sex. Well, last I looked, the typical vagina is swarming with bacteria. In other words, why shouldn't both men and women wash/shower before oral sex anyway?

[Mr. Inquisitive]

As a side note I could care less what preference a woman has, everyone is free to choose what they like, dilike or prefer. I'm just throwing in a few comments.

[Mr. Inquisitive]

No sexual part of a mans body has been taken away, how can you even say such a thing, it's a piece of skin that feels nothing, where as a young girl has her sexual organs cut out and in some cases she is sewn shut..

I have heard that there upwards of around 24 nerve ending in the foreskin.

[Mr. Inquisitive]

So you've talked to men that have gone through circumcision and they can recall the pain, is that what you're saying ??? These were babies at a few days/weeks old and they can recall the pain...

Pehaps I misunderstood your comment. I thought you were saying that there was no pain felt at all. Of course a baby can't recall what happened at such a young age. sometimes I can't remember what happened last week.

[Mr. Inquisitive]

If technicalities come into play then everything can fall back on the science of bacteriology 101. Make an environment warm, damp and dark...like inside of the skin of an uncircumcised penis, and you got yourself a growth of viable bacteria of many morphologies.

I am suddenly affraid of what "growth" is occuring in a females nether regions.

I can't imagine what it would feel like, as a woman, to know that some sexual part of my body had been taken away before I was old enough to have a say in whether it stayed or went.

My heart goes out to all men who have had this done~~

I also have a sad spot in my heart for animals who are clipped and nipped (ears and tails) because someone decided it "looks better." They are as innocent as little babies, too. Sorry, off topic!

If you have an adult choice, would you rather remained or removed it.
How about piercing & tattoing?
Again it's individual choice, rather than excuses.
