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.
People seem to obsess about circumcision styles these days as if style choice was some sort of fashion statement.
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).
Recently several stories have surfaced on social media complete with videos of young men circumcising themselves with a circumcision stapler.
One more story to show why it is a bad idea to try to cut your own dick -- with a knife from your kitchen, nevertheless. Seriously, don't do it!
A 30-year old man in Morocco attempted to circumcise himself with a vegetable knife.
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.
