On circumcision, 'intactivists' are just wrong - latimes http://www.latimes.com/la-oe-allen-anti-circumcision-activists-20120812,0,2269752.story … The notion that circumcision reduces a man's sexual sensitivity has little basis in fact. Obsession with penis is the issue of the men in movement & their sex life.

https://circumcisionmovie.com does an excellent job pointing flaws in medical studies w respect to sensitivity, and it’s not wrong to see this as a human rights issue

Little basis in fact? I was circumcised at 13 years old and the level of sensation was decreased in a dramatic and irreparable way from before being circumcised. At least I had the ability to consent to the the medically necessary procedure (in my case), unlike infants.

that flies in the face of several studies that were done comparing circumcised and uncircumcised men that found no differences in sensation

Are you stating that my experience is falsified in some way?

no just anecdotal.

True, however there is room for error in any procedure, why open oneself up to error when something isnt a necessity. That is my point. Sure circumcision has no negative consequences for many people, but for many there are consequences, both severe and minor.

Many people don't think there are negative consequences. However it strains reality to think that there are no negative consequences to an entirely unnecessary surgery on a child's genitals. Barring actual medical need, an intact body is a human right.

The people "obsessed with penis" are the people so grimly determined to CUT (the best) part OFF penis.

I just want to leave this right here. This page does a good job of summing of some of the anatomical point intactivists make regarding physical benefits of keeping foreskin:
