For female circumcision they remove your clitoris so that you will be faithful to your husband. I've never seen a newly circumcised male because I never had my sons circumcised. No way would I let some overworked drugged up doctor turn my son into a girl!

My Wife had it done after the birth of our son. He took after me and was broad shouldered, weighed nearly 10 lbs. She tore. She had the procedure done more as self esteem thing.  She was worried our sex life wouldn't be as good or that she was to big now etc.... It did make a difference. I was satisfied before, even better now.  She was sore for a month or more after the surgery though. No nookie for like 6-8 weeks afterwards either.-rob

Circumcision is an outdated torture that should be abolished. It does nothing to help the function of the penis and actually loses some of the nerves in the penis. I am intact and love it and I have had no complaints From anybody I have been with. The main thing is to teach the young boys how to keep their penis clean and they will have no hygiene problems and better sex because of the extra nerve tissue

I haven't had the procedure myself, but a good friend had a hymenectomy at age 16 and said it was a breeze.  In my opinion, it would be much better than having the area rip or tear from sex or a tampon, and it is over in such a short time...not a lifetime of discomfort.  My friend has said she was a little sore right after the outpatient surgery, but mostly just itchy and irritated from the few stitches.  Post-op for her consisted of ice packs for the first day, pain pills as needed (not often), a precautionary round of antibiotics, and some soothing cream for the area as it healed.  It must have worked well, because now 9 years later she's happily married and has a beautiful baby.

Ok, I'm not a male, but being that I have several relatives that are ER nurses, I can tell you there really is no safe way to self circumcise.  The way they do it correctly is they stretch the foreskin over a "bell" and clamp a cutting device over this and tada, it's gone.  You can't get a hold of any anesthetic to numb your genital area, and I can guarantee that it will be very painful if you do it yourself.  Also the chance of blood loss is very high, as is infection.  Go talk to your doctor about having it done or I can almost guarantee that you will end up in the ER with a lot of explaining to do, and you'll be charged with plastic surgery.  Just to let you know the consequences.

There has been -- needless to say -- an enormous amount of scholarly research done on this, both medical and sociologicfal.\n\nMedically, infant circumcision is again being indicated as a means of reducing HIV/AIDS incidence in later life. It is said to have no negative consequenceds.\n\nSociologically, it is predominant among Jews and Muslims worldwide, and among the general population in the USA (at various years, 60-80%) and the Philippines (over 90% I am told).\n\nSocially, it seems that circumcision is preferred by women, and that mothers make the decision most of the time. \n\nAs for "freedom of rights": that is not a concept known to law. Perhaps you mean "freedom of choice": but infants have no such choice even over matters that will affect them lifelong: language, religion, education, inheritance. It is not a human right, although certain scholars -- loudly among them Sami Aldeeb, a Christian Palestinian (he would prefer "Canaanite") in Switzerland -- would argue the contrary.\n\nSo-called "female circumcision" is mutilatioin, amputation, and not circumcision and is illegal in the United States and in Europe. Some activists like Aldeeb conflate the male and female procedures to bolster their own arguments, but the law is otherwise.\n\nYour answser, if you have a political view, is to petition your legislature. Others have tried and failed. The argument simply isn't there; the HIV/AIDS (and cervical cancer, among others) issues counterbalance any quasi-Christian ("new Covenant") or other arguments put forward.

The only answer I could find to your questions on the web was a timetable of 5 - 6 weeks before you could wear tight-fitting clothes and resume "normal" activites...What I'd like to know are your thoughts about the routine circumcision of infants...my hubby and I battle about this, I say we won't do that to our son and he disagrees, says it's important to look the same and not be embarased when you grow up, I say let the kid decide when he's older.....\n\nAny thoughts?

It's one of the most regretted operations.  The sucess rate of a reversal is very low.  So it is not a decision that should be made lightly.\n\nWhy would it feel different?  Are you sure you don't want to be asking about a circumcision?

There is a procedure which is referred to as "female circumcision," but which is actually very different, and thoroughly disgusting.  In some countries, the father actually cuts out the clitoris, supposedly to make a woman less likely to cheat on her husband.  The idea, I suppose, is that if she does not get any pleasure from sex, she will have no incentive to take a lover.\n\nLike I said, it is thoroughly disgusting.  I was walking through an ultra-liberal bookstore once and saw a book with a photograph of the ritual.  The mother was holding the girl, dressed in her best dress and apparently bent over a chair or table, while the father was behind her skirts with his knife and the girl screamed in pain.  Why the picture was put in the book is probably in order to say it is barbaric, but I didn't need a photograph for that!

If someone is going to be circumcised, this should be done at birth.

It's God's will to be clipped. Whee! :-) It's a good Christian thing to do! I don't know anyone who is uncircumcised and would prefer not to know. People SHOULD be circumcised because it's healthier. It's cleaner. Let's say your girlfriend gave you oral. How disgusting is it that you---\n\nI'm going to leave it at that. I hope a few people laughed, and I hope the ones who didn't shower and scrub with a nice clean loofah.

The actual procedure is done under local anesthesia.  Doctors usually prescribe some form of mild painkiller for the first few days to address the soreness.  The bruising from the non-intrusive surgery takes about 2 weeks to heal and the actual swelling around the area is all gone in about 3 weeks.  Its a little less in younger guys (teens/early 20s).\n\nIs it worth it?  It's different for everyone.  Some do it for religious reasons, some for medical and some of aesthetics.  If one is forced to do this procedure there is a likelihood that there may sometimes be a mental resistance to it.  But, I know most people usually end up feeling good about it because they have experienced both before and after and see that there is nothing wrong with being circumcised and often the advantages outweigh the cost of the procedure (time, money, soreness and post circumcision lifestyle adjustments).\n\nSo if you are motivated, go ahead.

Interesting question and link to a good article. After reading the following from my source, it appears that there's a sufficient FREE supply to meet the demand:\n\n'Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. It is OFTEN performed in healthy boys for cultural or religious reasons. In the U.S., circumcision of a newborn boy is usually done before he leaves the hospital. Among the Jewish population, circumcision is done on the eighth day.'

There are many different ways of circumsicion, however in Africa, usually they remove both labias and sew the wound together leaving a small hole near the vagina. This is to assure that they remain virgins until marriage (As it would be easy to see if anyone had penetrated the wound), but they also believe that it promotes fertility in the women. \n\nUnfortunately there are many side effects, sometimes the wound gets infected and the woman dies, or it could cause infertility which may lead to her being rejected later on down the line. It's also extremely painful to have sex, nevertheless it hinders mensturation and urination, both being horribly painful. Fluids get trapped in the wound since obviously it all can't get out, and that too can cause a (perhaps deadly) infection. \n\nThere are other ways of female circumscision, many being much less painful than the ones you *sometimes* see in Africa. (Not all tribes do it, and that form is much rarer) SOME Muslims sometimes circumcise their daughters although the way I just mentioned above has been banned from many countries. Usually they are the Egyptian Muslims that practice this rather than the typical Arab Muslims, however it has become less and less as they see that it has no roots in the Qu'ran. \n\nThe other ways include removing the labias but not sewing it together, removing one labia, or the most popular worldwide: removing the clitoral hood.

Yes.  I've read stories about it.  I even saw pictures of murdered women in an article i read about this crime.  It was horrible. Its terrible and sad.  It is a very shameful and horrific practice that should be eliminated, like female circumcision.
