Many forms of MGM exist.
Yes, MGM (male genital mutilation) has many forms, but the standard American form leaves the as little as the inner mucosa of the prępuces as possible, as much of the fręnulum as possible, leave the penis with no glans-coverage or folds while flaccid, and the shaftskin and what little is left of the prępuce as tight as a drumhead when erect. This American standard is the way it is because Americans specifically sexually mutilate the penises of their children for preventing masturbation.

You made an hasty generalization.
Upon rereading, you did not. I withdraw that claim. However, you state that you can masturbate somewhat like an intact man and then imply that other sexually mutilated men can too. This is an hasty generalization:
Americans sexually mutilate the penises of their sons specifically so that they cannot masturbate. The generalization that you can masturbate without lubrication applying to most other sexually mutilated men is wrong because most other sexually mutilated men are sexually mutilated _*CORRECTLY*_ so they cannot. After checking, specifically nowhere, but you claimed that sexually mutilated men can masturbate without lubrication, which is generally false. Sorry, but you made improper generalizations. I pointed them out. I admit that I let mine emotions get the better of me, but you also wrote in hasty generalizations. Above this message, I describe a typical American sexually mutilated penis. |

Just because it didn't work in stamping out masturbation doesn't make it not the original reason for doing it.
Also, who is zealous? The ones who want to give the child the choice when he's 18, or the ones who want that choice to be with the parents? Suppose abortion choice was up to the parents, and not the daugher? But of course, the two are quite different, in the sense that the daughter would have to carry a baby to full term (9 months), and the son has to live with a circumcised penis (for the rest of his life).. Don't get me wrong. I'm not arguing that either is worse than the other. I'm merely pointing out that in any other case, otherwise reasonable people would be pro-choice, but not in this case. |

To be fair he did recommend stretching first and explained at length my choices. It was 100% my decision to have the surgery. I am satisfied with the result now I am healed but that is not the point. What I had was not MGM, performing unnecessary surgery on infants is. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool. As I have said before, masterbating is better-easier if you are uncut. I am however still capable now without lubrication it just means using a different and in my opinion inferior technique. |
