Circumcision as a Sign of Adulthood
Probably half of the circumcision debate would not exist if Americans did not insist that one must be cut as a newborn.
I think Africans have the right idea: You signal that you are no longer some teenage hoodlum and ready to be regarded as a responsible adult by accepting circumcision – which also permanently carves the sign of your new status in your flesh.
Of course it would be interesting if one had to prove his circumcision status just to buy beer.

Can’t Believe Your Own Eyes
A common anti-circumcision tactic is to post the picture of a healthy uncircumcised penis next to a leathery ‘keratinized’ circumcised penis as evidence that circumcision destroys the glans.

His Body His Choice
While I am all for voluntary circumcision, when intactivists talk about informed consent they just mean to restrict the individual’s rights to choose to be circumcised.

Whose Consent?
I am not sure that I understand the law correctly. But it seems that in the US until you turn 18 it is up to your parents to decide if you should be circumcised.

The Third World: Bedford (UK)
Apparently a young man has been waiting for a circumcision for over two years and he still can't even get an appointment, or have sex, or pee without pain:

Horror Story: Cutting off the penis not just the foreskin
A Swiss doctor apparently has cut off the entire penis of a boy during circumcision:

The Third World: Newfoundland and Labrador
Apparently some guy with no medical training in Newfoundland ran a home circumcision service out of his wood cabin. He was soliciting would be patients on FaceBook.
Check this out: You were circumcised in a hospital?
Apparently in Kenya the mere suggestion that one was circumcised in a hospital and not in the bush "like a real man" is a serious enough insult to start a fight over:

The Circumcision is Mutilation Debate
I don’t think there is any unassailable truth in the circumcision is mutilation debate as a lot of things depend on your perspective.

Why I am Against Government Involvement
Some demand that circumcision should be mandatory.
Others take the opposite view and want to ban it altogether.
My question is: Are you out of your f-ing minds?

Do not try this at home: DIY Circumcision with a Machete
Even more bizarre than these stories usually are, a 16 year old boy has attempted to circumcise himself with a machete:
http://www.chronicle.co.zw/16-year-old-injured-in-machete-self-circumcision/
This was in an area where voluntary medical circumcision is readily available, so it is not clear why he has decided that trying to hack his own foreskin off with a machete was the way to go.

Check this out: Does Circumcision Reduce Men’s Sexual Sensitivity?
Does Circumcision Reduce Men’s Sexual Sensitivity?
Not according to this study.
The other 34 studies showed similar results. In several, compared with men with intact foreskins, those who’d been circumcised often said their penises felt more erotically sensitive. In addition, circumcision had no effect on rates of premature ejaculation or erection or ejaculation difficulties.

Another anti-circumcision ruling in Denmark
It is not bad enough that they invent scientific evidence that circumcision causes autism (even though everyone knows autism is caused by the measles vaccine [I am kidding]), the Danes now want to compile a list of everyone who is circumcised in their country.

Check this out: Circumcision actually increases sexual satisfaction
An interesting finding:
Sydney researchers find that contrary to perception circumcision actually increases sexual satisfaction
Sydney researchers find that contrary to perception circumcision actually increases sexual satisfaction
If anything the highest quality studies showed sex to be better for most men after they had been circumcised.
