You're against circumcision because you believe it causes autism.

I'm against circumcision because I believe genitally mutilating non-consenting infants is an atrocity.

We are not the same.

Well, better than not being against it...

Yeah, honestly if this is a psyop to return a little bit of humanity to the world then I'm alright with it

Agree and all, but to add - I road bike and run ultra marathons. When doing super long distances, you're gonna end up chafing a bit (probably). I would much rather my foreskin get the rub as opposed to THE SENSITIVE TIP OF MY DICK.

You know what really hurts? Water hitting raw skin that's been rubbed in shorts or a bike bib for 4+ hours.

I'm sure it will have negative long term impacts to my ability to be stimulated.

Yeah, something a lot of people don't realize is that circumcized dicks lose a lot of sensitivity due to the excessive friction they go endure throughout each day just by moving around normally.

I read somewhere that intact dicks are basically a mucus membrane underneath the foreskin. That's wild, my dick skin is more like the skin on the back of my hand. No wonder people are so obsessed with sex, it must feel so damn good for uncircumcised people. Something I'll never experience. Damn religion.
