    Really? Like you can’t pee, or orgasm? Disagree on that being a myth

      100% loss in function would need quite a bit more than a circumcision to accomplish.

      Like 2-15%. There are cases it’s a botched procedure and it’s not great. Remember priests aren’t doctors.

      Also cleanliness boils down to, if you only rinse your privates you have a dirty dick regardless of having a foreskin.

      Apply suds directly to the dickhead.

        Botched procedures wouldn’t be the norm, same as people with natural banjo string problems, but they’re out there in both cases. Cleaning does depend on the person, and maybe who taught them.

          Complications happen. They have a lower incident rate than say, Botox, but the incident rate of complications is up to 5%. Again, this study says that depends on the qualifications of the practitioner, it implies but doesn’t specify the higher rate of complications is for non medical people engaging in ritual circumcision.

          It’s an elective procedure. If it’s going to continue to be performed on the same number of people, there needs to be specific methodology on how it’s performed and the practitioner needs an actual credential.

          The problems this supposedly solves can be solved with education. An ex of mine had insisted that our potential male children be circumcised, saying that she doesn’t understand why I was against it since I’m circumcised. I very clearly have an intact foreskin, and despite her frequent, lights on and hands on time with it she was still mistaken what this idea means. Doctors, priests and educators are not giving people enough information to have informed consent. Maybe it’s because she went to a Catholic school in Ontario, but I don’t remember much about this during sex-ed and I went to public school.
