I Saw It On The Interblag
i've learned more from the internet than from 17 years of school, my parents, the church, the government, TV, movies, girls and drugs combined. that's saying alot, since i know some stuff about some things, if i may say so myself, which i am logically unqualified to do. anyway, i wanted to share the most disturbing thing the internet has taught me since i was probably 13 or so.
I'm the victim of genital mutilation.
so is every other guy who is circumcisized. according to some survey quoted on wikipedia, 83% of men born in the 80s were circumcisized, which by some coincidence is both the year and decade i was born. anyway, i never thought anything about it until i read some study the other night about the effect of male circumcision on women's experience of sex. according to it, i should be pissed. (my girlfriend, too) whether or not the tiny sample group accurately represents women in general and their relationship to cut vs. uncut penises, there's a really basic fact which had simply never occured to me: i had a big chunk of my dick chopped off, and i don't even remember what it was like before. that's pretty crappy, when you put it like that. then you think about it some more: that wasn't just a flap of skin, it had nerve endings. alot of them. like, most of them, all the super-sensitive fine-touch kind. i defintely wanted those, or at least i assume i did. i dunno what it'd be like to have them. c'est la vie, i suppose.
knee-jerk political correctness disclaimer: victims of female genital mutilation suffer vastly more, and while i'm kinda pissed about missing out on having one of my body parts, i feel really really bad about the shit they do to women in some parts of the world. to illustrate: i assume it was my parents' decision that this happened to me, and i don't hold it against them. by contrast, i feel a great deal of anger towards the bastards who torture and mutilate women.

please don't tell me you only now found out you've been circumcised ;P
though the last place i want to see a scar is on my genitals, to be honest.
Could you please elaborate on the benefits women receive? (other than the benefits received because of it being better for the guy.. you know if it's more fun for one party, it's usually more fun for the other party too)
basically, having an intact penis makes the whole process work alot better, to the benefit of all, according to this research. read the piece of shit if you're really curious. skimming it should suffice.
Personally, and having consulted a couple of parties with pertinent experience, it seems that the person himself makes more of a difference than the quantity of skin on the penis, although I imagine it's probably different for a guy, especially in extreme cases...
still... what a horrible thing to do to someone... *shudder*
yeah, of course. i was more struck by the sudden change in perspective after 23 years of not thinking about it at all to suddenly realizing a perfectly normal medical thing is actually a really horrible and twisted thing perpetuated by a bunch of misinformed people. it was the biggest shift in perspective concerning my penis i've experienced in a long time.
