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.

I believe it is your right. More families today are choosing to opt out of cutting.

The choice is better made in infancy than adulthood, and all childhood decisions belong to the parent.

Not true. Infants can't get general anesthetic so it's more painful then. When the choice is made in infancy it's just a guess as to whether the patient actually wants it. Is Type IV
#FGM for girls a choice to be made by her parents? Maybe read this 1st:https://quillette.com/2017/08/15/female-genital-mutilation-health-benefits-problem-medicalizing-morality/ …1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I’ve already covered that parents are the ones who should impose their will on their children. Numbing isn’t needed. There are hardly ever complications from circumcision (in US) and while it does hurt, it does heal.

So that's a "yes" from you that parents should be able to force Type IV
#FGM on girls? Your subsequent posts suggest otherwise, which is why I ask again. It also seems like you'd benefit from reading the article I sent you.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Numbing isn't "needed," but it's torture otherwise. Infants can pass out from the pain. Recent data suggests complication rate in one US state is 11.5%. http://spuonline.org/abstracts/2018/P21.cgi … Severe complications like death, while rare, do happen. https://med.stanford.edu/newborns/professional-education/circumcision/complications.html … https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2015/10/26/secrecy-questioned-about-babys-death-after-circumcision.html …
