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 Pain, Masculinity and Spirituality

Traditionally circumcision and pain used to go hand in hand. Later anesthesia was invented and circumcision became a medical procedure instead of being just  a religious / cultural practice, and the relationship has become more complicated.

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'.

One could wear his foreskin retracted 24/7 which would have most of the same health benefits as being circumcised. Or one could be born without a foreskin (aposthia).

Circumcision candidates who endure the pain without showing any signs of weakness are feted as heroes. Those who do otherwise, by crying out or touching the hand of the omushebi, are considered cowards bringing bad luck to the community. They are fined heavily.

Interesting to see the African attitude toward circumcision pain while in developed countries people walk to a hospital to have their frenulum snipped under anesthesia as if they were marching to their own execution. Different cultures just have different definitions of masculinity.
