female circumcision

so, whenever i bring this is, i am invariably fed a line along the notes of "we circumcise boys here, what's the difference"

first. BABIES. they don't remember. it happens right at birth.
second. function. show me the guy who can't orgasm because of circumcision.
third. infection. boys are circumcised AND TREATED. girls are circumcised and covered in ashed.

i could go on and on. no, i do not even think that male circumcision is right. but... male circumcision removes the forskin. female circumcision, GENERALLY, removes the clitoris. it's only supposed to remove the hood, a practise analgolous to male circumcision, but most of the time the ENTIRE clit is removed. often, the labia minor (inner lips) as well, and also often, the whole thing is then FUCKING SOWN SHUT SO THAT THERE IS FURTHER PROOF THE GIRL IS A VIRGIN AT MARRIAGE. sometimes the groom has to use a fucking KNIFE before he can have sex with his lucky bride.

it's horrible. it's cultural. it is NOT religious (Muhummad spoke AGAINST it in the Quo'ran!). it's barbaric. it's inexcusable.

All circumcision is wrong. Period. I've always had major sensitivity issues with sex. I didn't even have an orgasm until I was 19 (even though I was a father at 15). I've always wondered if I hadn't been "damaged" somehow when they snipped me.

There isn't a SINGLE health related reason for ANY circumcision. That's a fallacy, plain and simple.

i agree. i was very pissed when my youngest sister choose to have her son circumscised (over the objections of the pediatrician, no less).
the only problem i have ever seen with non-circumscision (i think i mentioned this above) was a guy who was... shall we say "less than cleanly". all the infections, etc, were entirely his fault. i think he might have had them anyway...

I've had a slightly similar situation with sex. took me forever to shoot it like a normal guy. I wonder if getting clipped did it.

Or it could be years of callouses built up from all the masturbating.
