The Weirdest Thing About Circumcision

 The weirdest thing about circumcision is that it sounds so horrifying yet it is so beneficial.

Just thinking about getting part of their dick cut off makes a man flinch and when one first hears about what is actually done it is terrifying. It must have been even more so before anesthetics were invented.

Yet when you actually do get a circumcision it turns out to be an improvement to your health and pleasure. OK, it still hurts a lot unless you are numbed up for the procedure, but once you heal it is great.

I am sure it has something to do with why many religions and cultures have adopted it as a rite. You must have some faith that things will turn out OK, and brave enough to go for it.

But for those who go for it there is a reward at the end.

Circumcision Means Cutting off the Foreskin

Just arguing semantics here. People always talk about various things being similar to a circumcision, or even think of them as 'a kind of circumcision'.
