That area of the body is home several major arteries, meaning it's very warm and very vulnerable. Even if you positioned the testes in the groin, a wound there is a serious and life-threatening injury. Basically, the reason humans have the danglers is because that entire area is poorly put together. Once you stand up, you can defend yourself a lot better... and you need to, because now your hips are now like the big glowing spot on every Zelda boss.Uszi said:
Cutting quality, and indeed functionality, to increase (supposedly) quantity is largely considered a bad move in the context of sex. If I took the steering wheel out of a car I wouldn't be glad with how long it took me to pick up a loaf of bread.Uszi said:

It works with what it has already, and the cards it gets dealt.
So if it's got a mouse with some internal nuts, and a mutation gives a mouse with external nuts, and the external nuts can get totally huge and increase the amount of sperm, giving that mouse a leg up in sperm competition, then evolution will roll with that.
And then if something new comes out of the big external nut mouse, and that has an advantage, then evolution will roll with that, even if the new thing would work better with the nuts back inside.
Not matter how many mice get their nuts damaged.
To me male circumcision is definitely wrong unless under medical grounds or a grown man's decision. Inflicting it on a new born who may not necessarily grow up to follow his parents beliefs/ideals etc just seems wrong.. But meh, that's just what I think. Oh also I'm from the UK and I'm pretty sure it's not particularly common here!
Summed up beautifully. It is something I take a very strong view on, in that I see it as one of the most horrific things that has been committed on this earth. The practise is quite commonly performed on a young girl with people pinning her down. I imagine there are very few (if any) medical grounds which warrant it. If that doesn't sound wrong to people then who knows what does. Plus if a woman can't enjoy the sex what's the point?CodiferL said:
Sure, sure. But outside of the body they become vulnerable to a whole new ray of injuries and attacks, whereas inside of the body they enjoy at least a little bit more protection. And from an evolutionary stand point, your balls are more important than any other single part of your anatomy.Ultrajoe said:
I mean, if we had interior testes, the number one tactic taught in those rape defense seminars would be no longer valid.
Otherwise, point taken.
Wow bro, so much rage, relax, I'm circumcised and made a whole damn thread about it and I'm not even that fiery. And it does not look weak! They look the fucking same!Feralbreed said:
I have never considered the issue at all. By the sounds of things unless people have a significant bias the difference in sexual pleasure and medical heath are both minimal, but doctors seem to recommend uncircumcised sooooo yeah, whatever, i don't even know.
Quite frankly, I don't have any overly strong feeings on the matter apart from the fact that I'm glad that the end of my dick doesn't look like an anteater's mouth, which is ultimately just my personal opinion. Apart from that I fail to see what the big deal is here, all's I see is a lot of people overreacting to something that's ultimately inconsequential.
Circumcision instinctively strikes me as being wrong, but that maybe more to do with the slightly dodgy pseudo-religion I was brought up with. Haters gonna Hate, Protestants gonna Protest.
Doctor: "Would you like us to skin the edge of your child's dick?"
Parent: "I don't see anything wrong with that"
I have to wonder how traumatizing that experience is for newborns.
Also, my understanding was that although it was easier to clean, it's also easier to get dirty

B) You don't have to remember an event for it to effect you.
Female circumcision is vastly different than male circumcision. There is no real reason for a female to be circumcised, at least that I've ever seen/heard. So I'm plainly against the girl version. (Disclaimer: That opinion may be slightly biased by the fact that I'm female and I like sex.)
As to the males...Well, it's your body, so I say do what you want with it. I do think it should be left for the man to decide himself, not done when he's a baby. But I won't be forcing that opinion on anyone, except any male offspring I might have in the future.

To your B: I had a circumcision as an infant and no I'm not traumatized. Also, I'm not Jewish.sumanoskae said:
If I got it now? Then it'd be burned in my mind.
There is no damage done in the process so its not exactly like hacking off a toddlers digits. Besides, it doesn't affect your life enough to justify bitching. Now if my parents had the tips of my fingers shaved... I would certainly let the bitching commence.Nova Helix said:
And I have to agree on that last comment. People never quote that movie despite its awesome script. Now thats worth bitching about. Unlike other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an english accent.
