But not FGM.

Both are mutilation, but at least most of the Western world calls female circumcision what it is. Hint: The acronym you used. Getting some people to even admit circumcision even harms men is a gargantuan task.

FGM is performed to remove sexual pleasure and appeal, circumcision is not. They are not equal. I wouldn’t even lump circumcision in with mutilation.

Try telling that to circumcised men who almost never complain about their sexuality due to their surgery. Without being able to compare uncut to cut, men don’t notice or experience a loss of sensation. The sensors might, but the subjects don’t.

Unless he's in complete denial, or would rather not have more sexual pleasure for some reason, a cut man who can understand the objective fact that foreskin is innervated genital tissue will take notice of - and be at least a little bothered by - that fact. I know b/c I'm one.

You may be bothered, but not all men are. You can try to deny them that thought, but if they express it I choose to believe it same as I believe that you would or do object to the loss of it.

Not trying to deny anyone anything. Rather, I'm trying to prevent boys from being denied a healthy part of their own bodies. Since one can't know or control if a particular infant will object as I always have, infant circumcision is wrong unless absolutely medically needed.

Infant circumcision is particularly insidious because the individual never had the opportunity to compare. Like being color blind or deaf all your life. The body compensates as best it can, but you really can't know what you are missing.

The body does compensate and most men who are circumcised never know the difference. America ranks with its competitors in terms of sexual fulfillment, our boys don’t seem to miss what they never had.

The foreskin doesn't grow back, so any "compensation" is entirely psychological/imaginary. No one in 1939 "missed" having a color television either.
