Most of the men i have heard that were cut as adults, who DID NOT have problems that necessitated being cut all said they has extreme loss of sensitivity. Adj. such as "destroyed" "ruined" "regret"

Yes, I’ve read a few stories like that, so there’s certainly some evidence of it. It’s also likely that the nerves react differently when they heal as an adult with a fully grown penis as opposed to a baby.

yes. when i lost my thumb as a baby my brain adapted and I was just as dexterous as I would have been had i kept my thumb. In fact, I think my ability to grasp objects has been enhanced by removing what is argueably the most important part of my hand.....*huge eyeroll*

That’s not the same and you know it. I’ll give you an example that it a little closer though. I cut the tip of my finger off when I was 4 years old. They sewed it back on and today I can’t feel any difference.

However, a few years ago I had to have stitches to sew the skin back together on another finger and I still don’t have full feeling back on the scar. As adults we don’t heal the same way young children do.

Also, by your logic, we should be able to circumcise girls because their brains will adapt? I don’t think anyone would argue that cutting a girls genitals doesn’t damage female sexuality. Yet you do backflips to argue that cutting boys doesn’t damage male sexuality.

You actually could make an argument that cutting the clitoral hood wouldn’t affect very much. I’m not making that argument. I’m saying that for thousands of years men have dealt with this and been just fine. I had it done and I love it this way. That’s all I’m saying.

I’m glad you are happy about it. Really. There are plenty of men who are not. I feel like it should be easy to agree that if its his body its his choice

It’s really complicated though. Ordinarily I would completely agree and I’m very sympathetic. But I really feel uneasy about restricting Jewish families from something that is central to their religion.

Does this sentiment also apply to cultures that perform genital cutting of females? Cultural blindness is a real thing. Also, Brit Shalom is increasingly popular

Female cutting is completely cultural. It’s not religious in nature. I’m not familiar with Brit Shalom.
