Most of this was posted on another tribe. Just found this one.
I'm sure that you all will think that I have been living under a rock. The information was out there but I chose not too seek it out because I didn't want to know the truth. I have just discovered that I am a circumcision victim. I thought that the foreskin was the skin surrounding the glans. So I am disfigured and handicapped.
The bottom line is that this was an act of abuse and it was commited without my consent. I really don't see how we can call ourselves "free" or "civilized" while this goes on. The "religious freedom" argument is a bunch of bullshit, but it seems to me that this is a large factor that contributes to the perpetuation of this barabaric act. Nobody wants to be accused of anti semitism. I have nothing against somebody if that is their ethnic background, but monothesitic religions are the source of the majority of the world's misfortune and they are all evil (of course there is a small minoritiy amongst the faithful who do not cause harm and may actually benifit from some of their beliefs). Another factor which keeps this issue hidden is shame. Any circumcized man who thinks that he hasn't been ripped off is kidding himself.
I think that it is fucking sick. I always found the idea of plastic surgery nauseating and disturbing. I thought "how can you look at yourself in the mirror thinking that this is not really you?". Well, I was cosmetically altered against my will. Plastic surgery never makes people look better. It just makes them look freakish and unnatural. After finding out (admitting), I couldn't even look at my penus or touch it for several days. I have been permanently severed from the natural world. An attempt was made to make me into some sort of cyborg automaton, not interested in human pleasures, only work and war. This is completely Orwellian. For the most part, the issue can't even be raised. I certainly wasn't comfortable talking to anybody about it. I do actually feel that I have a sex drive that is more healthy than normal and like the appearance of my body overall, but to claim that there will not be consequences from genital mutilation is ridiculous. There are always consequences. That is the whole point. The clearly stated goal in the victorian era was to diminish pleasure. All the proposed benifits of circumcision are completely false or based on false pretences. If people want to be circumcized, they should make the decision as adults when they can decide for themselves. Adult circumcisions are also much less harmfull, as the penus is at least allowed to develop naturally.
I always thought to myself "what a poorly designed peice of equipment". I had always had several important complaints about the appearance and function of my penus. To find out that all of this could have been avoided and that I could have had enjoyed a level of sexual function and satisfaction equal to that experienced by a woman fills me with extreme rage (actually I think the fact that it makes me less able to please a woman makes me even more angry). Another serious functional consequence is being unable to masturbate without a lubricant.
The trauma caused by these revealtions was absolutely horrific. Nobody should have to go through that. THIS NEEDS TO STOP NOW! THIS IS NOT A FUCKING JOKE! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS ISSUE! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SYSTEMATIC SEXUAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN!
I can say without exaggeration that this realization was the most traumatic experience of my life. It felt like a physical attack. I was crying and wimpering like a frightened animal.
