      There’s a Netflix documentary about circumcision, and here’s a quick thread for anyone who wants to know my perspective as a male medical student

      Development: all embryos begin development using X chromosome genes. When male Y chromosomes genes finally start to cause an effect, the developing clitoris becomes foreskin. So let’s review... the foreskin is the SAME tissue as the clitoris (aka pleasure zone for cis-women)

          Sensation: when the exposed head of the penis grows, it develops a thick layer of skin to protect it—part of the role of the foreskin. Not only is the male equivalent of the clitoris removed, his penis head loses sensation as well by becoming “keratinized” (a ~75% sensation loss)

          Psychology: 90% of brain development takes place within the first year of life. All baby boys get an erection during the circumcision process, right before the extreme pain of the procedure. Therefore, circumcised boys subconsciously associate their first erection with that pain.

          Society: is it possible that the subconscious association between erections and pain cause some of the toxic masculinity we see in our culture? Seems to me no other country has so many men as angry and hostile as ours. This is of course speculation, and other factors are involved

          Surgery: the rate of botched circumcision is way too high to be considered worth while as an expected procedure. Common effects are loss of part of the penis, erections leaning to one side, or pain due to extreme tightness of the remaining skin.

          Hygiene: the foreskin actually protects the head of the penis, so long as it is cleaned regularly. The cleaning process is extremely dramatized by doctors, when all that’s really necessary is a quick rinse during a normal shower. I’ve never had a single issue in my 25 years.

          Personal opinion: there’s no need for such high rates of circumcision. Outside of America and the Jewish faith, circumcision is a rare procedure. Robbing a man from that amount of sensation is disgusting, and no one should have the right to make that decision but for himself

          I totally support your overall point, here.. but your developmental anatomy is off.

          Those aren't homologous structures lol. Pull an embryology text and look.

          As far as my knowledge goes, they are. The same tissue differentiates into the foreskin once y-chromosome genes are expressed. There may be some differences but again, that’s why it’s the most sensitive area for men. Same nerves and tissue, just a little more spread out

          This is not factual, tho I appreciate your zeal. The EXTERNAL clitoris is analogous to the glans penis. The fine-touch nerve endings (FTNE) of male internal #foreskin are analogous to FTNE of vulvar area between external clit & vaginal introit & between the labial pairs. #i2 #ff

          The fine nerve endings are what cause the extreme sensation of clitoral/foreskin stimulation. The change happens early in development but they share similar functions. Both masses of tissue are used for sexual pleasure and are derived from the same embryonic origin.

          But there's a clitoral hood. I'm not saying foreskin isn't pleasurable, but the clitoral hood is what could've been the foreskin. But I am against cutting either!
