I’ve never been able to understand “intactivists” other than as guys who are insecure about their dicks, and want to find a way to obsess about it while blaming other people. Besides, I know guys who have HAD to get circumcised as adults, and they all wished it’d been as infants!

Liar This is the same line everyone uses when they defend genital cutting "Durr I know a guy..." No, you don't, and no one believes it anymore

You’re right! I’ve known two of em! But here’s the think, bucko - personal experiences may mislead or lie, but statistics don’t. And your odds of needing surgery on an intact dick, including and beyond circumcision, are greater than complications from having one as an infant.

Yeah, that's not true though. Being generous and assuming benefits exist at all, it would take hundreds of cuts to prevent one complication of foreskin. Complications of circumcision are over 1 in 10 http://spuonline.org/abstracts/2018/P21.cgi … Not even counting loss of foreskin itself as a harm

Besides being incorrect... I’m not arguing circumcision is “better”. It may slightly reduce risk of complications, and transmission of some STI’s, but in a modern society with good hygiene, it’s not a *huge* benefit. At worst it’s a wash and hardly worth “activism”, however!

I’m just surprised it took three replies for them to get to “but my orgasms aren’t as great as I imagine they could be, and that is definitely as important as women suffering and dying!”

If you wanna bring death rates into this you're gonna want to bring numbers. Male circumcision kills infants -all the time-.

But that's not a fair comparison. You're talking about the worst cases of FGM so let's talk about the worst cases of MGM too. It's more dangerous for men in other places: https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/25/male-circumcision-ceremonies-death-deformity-africa … You want to SEE the brutality of it?

The sad thing is they'll pontificate on our alleged "privilege", but ignore you when you state something substantial. Like it never was said. Makes you wonder who are the actual privileged ones?
