      I am surprised by amount of negativity on this sub. Like it is almost impossible to have a decent conversation. People just go nuts about operation which is about hygiene. Good luck, guys. I just don’t see myself here

        Yeah, why would so many people have negative views on chopping off part of a baby’s body?

        Weird.

        I’m cut, and like it that way. But your position is flawed.

        If you believe in evolution then you can agree that foreskin exists for a biological function, right? It’s not about hygiene, that’s dogma. It’s wild that it’s based in religion originally because if ‘god’ made you in his image it’s pretty fucked up to immediately alter a baby to be different.

        It’s funny when people assign the term ‘negative’ to anything they don’t want to hear about.
        You don’t have to read anything you don’t want to. Move on if you don’t have anything to contribute

          So I actually have no dog in this fight but I read this

          If you believe in evolution then you can agree that foreskin exists for a biological function, right?

          Counterpoint: that was before “pants.”

          Good question though, most of the animal world has retractable peni, why’d we lose that ability? Now I’m curious.

          Also, shouldn’t the religious oppose it because it is fucking with “God’s creation?” Frankly them supporting it seems like flawed logic to me.

            No, mutations are mutations, they have no purpose, some are beneficial and are prioritized by evolution.

              So you’re saying we lost retractable penises “just because?”

              Cause I looked into it, and it seems that since we walk upright there’s less of a chance at scraping it on the ground, so we can trade dicksheaths for extra room in our hips which would likely help moving around on two legs, which makes sense.

            Let’s note here that evolution doesn’t care for “functions” or “utility” as much as it cares for “reasons”. We won’t be the first nor the last animal to get screwed in a shitty trade-off that natural selection deemed necessary. Humans are notorious for being born far more defenseless than most other mammals - evolution forced it upon us because otherwise our larger heads would kill far too many mothers.

            I hadn’t even thought about pants as being a compounding factor. It seems unlikely that cavemen had better cleanliness education than we do but smegma build up would be a problem even for them… Unless underwear/pants are what cause it to build up.

          It was originally the Jewish convent with God. Idk why I was sliced, but it became common in the U.S.

            It’s an oddly barbaric tradition to keep around for so long without a religious rationalization. Most circumcised Americans are not Jewish

        If you’re an absolute pig that doesn’t wash his penis, yeah it’s better for hygiene. I have a better solution than chopping of your peepee, though: how about you fucking wash it?
