I've many debates/discussions with other guys about the degree to which secular circumcision is mutiliation (since no loss of appreciable function or sensation occurs, I don't see how you can define it as anymore mutiliation than getting your ear pierced).
Is it progress? I don't know. I have no objections either way, though frankly I am more used to seeing cut cocks.
The question I still have though, is why the move toward secular circumcision in this country in the last century. For example, what did my parents think about it when they had it done to me? My sister and her husband simply did it to their boys with no thought...I asked her, did you have them circumcised and she said, without hesitation, "Of course." But I didn't press for why fearing being looked at as some of sort of perv.
Thoughts?
