With circumcision we knew it wasn't for 'hygiene' for quite a long time lol. It's about masturbation. They want men to not be cranking it. They still will tho, that's the lie that everyone knows and everyone just pretends they don't. But it's always been about men jacking it. Can't be petting the snake with God watching.

Uh, I don't think that's why most modern parents go for it. The reason I've heard is "so he looks like his father does."

Do men typically show it to their kids? Why would it matter to the child?

What if the kid has curly hair after the mother's parents? Would they shave it too?

I mean typically I imagine a child sees the parents penis at some point. Either having a bath with the or walking in on them going to the bathroom or even going to the bathroom with them.

My mom, an RN, had me mutilated because "it reduces the risk of transmitting HPV".

The HPV vaccine is way more effective. Did you give you that?

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 2 points 3 days ago

I know I got it, but I think it was the doctor who gave it to me, I have a fear of needles.
