Gregory Hererodox:<br /><br />Regarding your recent blog post on orgasms and genital cutting, I will share a few thoughts with you here. I remember the first time I had sex with a woman (I am a gay man, but growing up, I was pressured by society into trying to be a heterosexual) going all the way. I had a full-body orgasm. I thought my heart would give out. I froze, so she grabbed my buttocks and thrust me into her as I came. The experience bowled me over. Looking back, I think it was that there was chemistry between the two of us, even though we met only the night before. I was a virgin, whereas she was sexually active before we met. I let her guide me through the experience, and she was well-pleased. I had sex with another woman a few years later, and it was nowhere near as pleasing. One thing I remember is that when both women fellated me, I felt nothing. I spoke to a university buddy about that, and he told me he had the same experience the first time. It could be that we are cut that we experience a lack of sensation.<br /><br />I have had sex with several men over the years before I met my husband. There were some with whom I had chemistry and intense orgasms, and others where the sex was humdrum. Of those men, including my husband, many, if not most, were intact. I may be cut low and loose and still have my frenulum; I do not know, but anecdotally, I think it has more to do with the chemistry between you and your partner. Still, I do remember that non-penetrative sex (I am not into anal) was uncomfortable; I experienced taut erections and dryness that caused friction. The friction led to tearing and bleeding on my penis sometimes. I saw a doctor at the university clinic about the problem, and his sage medical advice was, "Don't use it for a week." Eventually, I learned that the application of a water-soluble lubricant made sex more comfortable and pleasurable. Also, I enjoyed the experience when men fellated me. I can only surmise that the gay men in my life knew better how to please a man that way than the two women who obliged me; that and I am more comfortable sharing intimacy with a man.<br /><br />I recall a couple of times during sex with intact men, them reminding me that "Uncut guys are more sensitive." I also learned that it is not unusual for a man, following satisfying sex, to drop into a short, deep sleep immediately afterward; that you should interpret it as a sign that the sex was good. I had sexual experiences with men ranging from drunken one-night stands to flings to long-term relationships. The sex varied with each man. You could always get off, although the earth did not always move. It depended on the compatibility and chemistry between us. Despite being cut, I have had satisfying sex of the sort you described, experiencing an intensity that had my pull away when it got too intense, but I doubt that being cut had anything to do with it.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190648498809795551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-5122102514728059872023-11-13T13:01:50.558-08:002023-11-13T13:01:50.558-08:00The skin on the intact penis is mobile.

In contrast, depending on how much skin was removed on a circumcised penis, the skin is NOT mobile, so the hair stays on the shaft, if not rides up higher during erection. From accounts that I've read, some men have to shave because it affects their female partner who is sensitive down there. There are some very sad pictures on the internet of circumcisions so tight the hair rides halfway up the shaft.

Perhaps maybe OB-GYNs and Pediatricians saw it as a green light to push the procedure, but anyone who actually read the 2012 policy statement would know that it was a non-recommendation at best, conflicted at worst.<br /><br />While the AAP did try to say that “the benefits of circumcision outweigh the risks” in 2012, their conclusion was that “the benefits aren't great enough to recommend" infant circumcision.<br /><br />And, as if that weren’t enough, it was also been written that “the true incidence of complications after newborn circumcision is unknown,” further confounding their own “benefits outweigh the risks” mantra.<br /><br />Still, a lot of physicians, and yes, web publications and parenting forums up and ran with it.<br /><br />Never mentioned are implications of reaping profit from non-medical surgery on healthy, non-consenting minors. It conflicts with the “parental choice” narrative. Without medical or clinical indication, doctors have no business performing surgery on healthy, non-consenting minors, let alone be giving parents any kind of “choice.”<br /><br />I am confident that sooner or later this is going to come back and bite physicians who perform male infant genital mutilation in healthy, non-consenting minors in the rear.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190648498809795551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-53144265508601090862021-06-07T08:39:11.736-07:002021-06-07T08:39:11.736-07:00Thanks for your reply Joseph.

My impression is that RIC was slowly declining in America until 2012 when AAP came out endorsing newborn circumcision for its potential Medical benefits. After that OB-gyns and Pediatricians felt encouraged to sell the procedure even more vigorously. Wich they did. Circumcision is also promoted in various online publikations like WebMD, Baby Gaga and others, all telling parents that genital surgery on their newborns is a legit choice to make. Of course those online publicatiins are strongly biased in favour of circumcision. However, they all mention, (with småll letters) that all potential benefits of circumcision also can be obtained without surgery. Wonder if Doctors inform patients about that.Per Lindstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093914814687855562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-89947108367769695992021-05-24T23:36:25.091-07:002021-05-24T23:36:25.091-07:00Thank you Joseph for a number of great postings on...<br />Thank you Joseph for a number of great postings on the issue. For a Non-American it is impossible to understand why doctors and parents are prepared to risk the lives of their precious baby boys for simply no good reason. In Swedish maternity wards women giving birth are assisted by midwives, doctors taking part only when complications are expected. <br />How can OB-Gyn doctors in American hospitals find time to perform unnessesary surgery on babies that cannot consent? Do women with acute gynecological illnesses have to wait because their doctors are performing surgery on boys? <br />A couple of years ago I watched a stunning clip on Fox News, Georgeanne Chapin of Intact America debating circumcision with Dr Mark Segal, a Fox News medical adviser. Dr Segal described how important circumcision is in his religion. He also tried to convince wiewers of the outstanding medical benefits of having the procedure done. He also indulged in mental gymnastics, "You don´t ask a baby for permission to clip his umbilical cord and likewise you dont´t have to ask the baby for permission to circumcise". How can anyone who calls himself a doctor be so dishonest? Or is he just stupid and brainwashed?<br />And finally about religion, The patriark (for both Jews and Muslims) Abraham circumcised himself at the age of 99. Why not postpone circumcision til the age of 18 when male genitalia are fully developed and the procedure can be done with full pain relief? Let me answer, only a very few would chose to have it done.<br /><br />Per Lindstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093914814687855562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-35970001010798104002021-05-23T18:25:03.924-07:002021-05-23T18:25:03.924-07:00She's a good girl.

There is a picture of a slide taken at a conference where a CDC spokesman gave a presentation, I forget his name... Berschaoui or something like that, where the number he gave was like 37%. Of course, from his perspective the situation is "dire," and he was actually trying to make the case that the CDC and other medical organizations needed to increase their efforts to sell circumcision to more parents.<br /><br />I don't think the numbers are at 80%. I'd say 60% is probably a happy medium. But we need to be clear on that there is a difference between the rate of male infant circumcision and the percentage of circumcised men in the US. Pro-circumcision advocates like to point to this as an "ah-hah" moment where intactivists are "inconsistent." If male infant circumcision were to completely cease right now, 80% of US males would still be circumcised; they don't simply disappear.<br /><br />Yes, male doctors are circumcised, and female doctors have circumcised husband and/or are mothers are circumcised children, but if more parents say "no," then what are they going to do?<br /><br />The thing with OB/GYNs and other practitioners is that oftentimes they're not the ones who perform the mutilation; it's staff they hire, and staff are told to "do their jobs or find employment elsewhere." It's not doctors pushing pseudo-medicine on parents, its staff they hire. And, of course, staff want to keep their jobs, so they do as they're told. And if parents tell employers that someone tried to give them factual information, nurses or other employees could face being reprimanded or worse, termination.<br /><br />As I've written elsewhere, doctors and nurses have financial incentive to push circumcision on everybody. Hospitals can charge up to $3,000 in fees. For "a simple 10 minute procedure." It's no wonder doctors and nurses push it.<br /><br />The CDC run by Thomas Frieden was pushing to increase male infant circumcision in Africa, and presumably in the US as well. With a name like Walensky, I somehow doubt this is changing any time soon. (See my latest post, immediately after this one.)<br /><br />A medical establishment that profits from male infant circumcision, being headed in large part by people with the conflict of interest of being adherents of a religion that commands the forced genital mutilation of minors is what intactivists are up against, and it's a pessimistic prospect indeed.<br /><br />On the positive side, numbers are falling, which is why the pro-circumcision crowd is frantic. That only means that intactivists do have an uphill battle.<br /><br />But as I've said on this post, more parents ARE becoming informed and refusing this for their children, and there's nothing doctors can do, unless they actually go ahead and make it policy to circumcise all boys without their parent's permission.<br /><br />Doctors and nurses etc. are not going to stop pushing this until it's a liability rather than an asset. Parents need to speak out, and so do men who aren't happy their rights were violated. Light needs to be shine on the fact that this whole thing is based on deliberate misinformation and lying by omission.<br /><br />So yes, in away, there are a lot of aspects of this fight for which to feel pessimistic, but intactivists have made strides. I invite you to look at parenting forums where the topic is brought up. More people are speaking out. More parents are deciding to stand up to pushy doctors and nurses. And thank goodness. Look for "Your Whole Baby" on Facebook. Tons of parents on there seeing the light.<br /><br />Search for "the circumcision blame game" article on my blog for a related post.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190648498809795551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-73245598474536464732021-04-20T08:51:07.203-07:002021-04-20T08:51:07.203-07:00So here we have an instance of both a Jewish perso...So here we have an instance of both a Jewish person telling a circumcision joke, AND, simultaneously, using pseudo-medical alibi to push what also happens to be divine commandment in his faith. Americans, and simply any medical practitioners worth their salt, really, need to put their foot down and refuse to tolerate joking about genital mutilation, and pushing what happens to double as religious non-medicine any longer.<br /><br />OK, so the CDC "did not control what their presenters said." So what if say, the presenters were any of the Muslim doctors I've mentioned in this blog post pushing FGM? What if one of them drew an exaggerated version of a vulva with large labia and said "Yes! A labiaplasty please?" I'm sure the response would have been different.<br /><br />I think medicine needs to remain medicine, and a place like an AIDS conference is no place to be disparaging anybody. I think the circumcision of children is wrong, but I would just as staunchly oppose the ridiculing of circumcised men. Cartoons of Jews or Muslims, or ANYBODY would be right out.

Schenker added a cartoon balloon with the wording "Yes, a circumcision, please!" I immediately and vociferously remonstrated with him and he took it down. I later complained to the CDC, the convenor of the conference, but was told they did not control what their presenters said. Imagine what would have happened if someone put up a drawing of a racial or religious characteristic! I expect the response from the CDC would have been quite different.Dave2Gahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274246021110791718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-66467781427510117962021-03-27T05:13:34.180-07:002021-03-27T05:13:34.180-07:00Is there a reason for pessimism among people in Am...Is there a reason for pessimism among people in America who work against genital surgery on male infants?<br />Quite resently I listnened to a conversation between Intact America´s Georgeanne Chapin and Brendon Marotta. They were dicussing a new surwey how doctors and medical personel are selling circumcision to new parents. The belief that circumcision has become less popolar in recent years is not supportet by that survey, newborn circumcision seems more common than ever before, leaving only 20 % (as an average) of newborn American boys with intact genitalia. Also Terryfing to know that 40% of parents were undecided and talked into cutting their sons by doctors and nurses.<br />As a result of this survey Intact America is going to focus on changing hospital policy on circumcision.<br />Sorry to say but I am also pessimistic , male doctors are generally circumcised, female doctors have circumcised partners and brothers. Little reason why they by a sudden should change their mind and discourage parents from cutting their sons.<br />Are American hospitals overstaffed? I find it hard to believe that in any other country, busy OB-doctors could find time to perform unnessecary surgery on precious babies they have helped into the world.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Per Lindstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093914814687855562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-91117201027856212912021-01-24T07:41:50.399-08:002021-01-24T07:41:50.399-08:00Well, this is true, but this also true of any othe...Well, this is true, but this also true of any other body modification a person chooses to get.<br /><br />If a person chooses to get their ears pierced, or gauged, or if they choose to get a tattoo, or a unique haircut, this affects others too.<br /><br />If a person chooses to get any of these things, this will affect the way people see him or her.

It affects the partners of the circumcised man - all the negative effects of circumcision apply to any partner of the newly-circumcised man. And this is permanent. Not only does the newly-circumcised man suffer loss but amy and all of his partners suffer from the effects of circumcised sex such as dry, painful sex and the lack of the rolling action and the "buffering" that the foreskin and indeed the entire intact penis provides!
