Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

That's a very leading question, don't you think? (heh)

I understand the implications and I think it should be the person’s choice, not the parents but as a person with a penis whose parents had him circumcised, I don’t think about it ever really and it doesn’t affect my day to day life.

In answer to your questions, I’m not sure why they did it.

Not happy with their decision but there’s nothing I can do about it.

Looks like you're looking for a very specific answer that you're not getting.

Doesn't bother me one bit, as far as I'm aware I could have been born like this

When I asked my parents they said "We did it in case you wanted to marry a Jewish girl." It didn't make any sense at that time either, but since I don't have any problems with it and have never known my penis any other way, I don't really mind.

I have literally never thought about it other than when these types of discussions come up. If I hadn't been circumcised I would probably think about it the exact same amount

I wish it wasn't done to me. I blame American customs more than my parents. What a barbaric thing we do to our children.

As someone who medically needed one as an adult. I both appreciate my parents for not doing it to me as a child and have the horrible perspective of how painful this actually is.

You’re a monster if you do this to a baby. I barely survived it as a full grown man.

Do we have to use such charged language? I was circumcised for a genuine medical procedure, nothing to do with hygiene, religion, or trends, so I’m very glad my parents had that done. Not so glad it had to happen in the first place, but very happy with the end result.

I'm not actively mad about it but I agree it shouldn't have been done and shouldn't be normalized.

TL;DR: Don't care

Was a baby when it was done so don't remember any of it. Been this way my whole life so have nothing to compare it to. Never bothered me, never was a topic of conversation, and nobody ever cared...probably because it is extremely common where I live.

Very unhappy and violated. I don't have a lot of sensitivity left (except in one area they missed) because they took too much foreskin. It makes me last longer but I can't help but wonder what I'm missing.

You've presented quite the leading question but I'll answer for myself.

I was raised Muslim (now I'm atheist) so naturally, I was circumcised. It was done because that's the rite of passage. Am I angry that it was done without my consent? Yes. Could my life have been better with a foreskin? I have no idea. How is my life now? I have many things to complain about, and none are related to my circumcision.

About the same as I feel about rage bait titles

I'm very angery I was sexually assaulted. I want my body back

I’m not particularly bothered by it.

In my opinion in 100 years it will be viewed as genital mutilation as it's done to children without consent for basically no reason at all. But by then it will be purely an elective surgery adults get so they feel their dick looks prettier, so whatever.

Pretty far from the biggest problem of our age. Maybe don't stress about it.

Pretty displeased but if I could change one thing about society it wouldn't be male circumcision.

Pretty good. I like my dick. My wife likes my dick. I never had a complaint about my dick before I met my wife. If I'm missing anything by being circumcised I can't imagine what it might be. I don't really think I'd like my dick to be any more sensitive than it is. It was done to most of us in the States back in the 70s. I have a friend who had to have it done in his 30s and he said it was fucking awful. I'll take what I have.

Fine with me. No clue why they did it and don't care.

Granted, I'm not exactly someone who cares for having a penis at all so...

I guess only men can answer but fuck it.

Trans women who want to get rid of their penis get shafted (pun intended) by circumcision as it reduces the amount of material for GRS.

That plus those who want to keep it have to deal with the same impacts as other penis owners. Perhaps even more so, as lack of T and atrophy are not assisted by the loss of the protective layer.

Most people don't really have a string opinion though, since you don't often find someone who experienced a sex life with a penis in both configurations.

Pretty good. Glad that I don’t have a foreskin. No offence to people who do, but it freaks me out. Any time I watch porn and it features a penis that clearly shows foreskin I get weirded out and have to find another video.

(Don’t know if that’s something uncircumcised people can relate to going the other way around?)

Way back when I lost my virginity, the girl I was dating was like “oh nice, my last boyfriend wasn’t circumcised and he didn’t like to clean himself very well”. Made me feel good in that very nervous moment.

I had this done to me when I was 7 years old, due to some medical issues I’d had in my really young years of life. I didn’t think much of it then, just like being kinda excited about being a hospital patient. I was given a very generic/non-branded action figure as a surprise afterwards, which I named after the surgeon, who had been super nice to me. And I got some time off school.

If you're young and it was done, it was for specific reasons (not all of which are valid).

But if you're older, say around 40+, it was done because that's what was done.

Wow what a loaded question. If I had my preference I would have remained uncut but I don't blame my parents for following social/medical standards. Being cut hasn't been a problem.

I don't really mind.

My penis is not mutilated, thank you very much.

I feel much better about it than I would've if I needed to have it done for medical reasons as an adult like my grandfather did.

My parents were told by the doctor that having it was hard to clean, (even as a baby) so came with increased risk of infection. I don't blame them. I do think the doctor could have been more clear about how large the risk was, and what the downsides to having it done would be. But I obviously don't have first had experience about the situation, so it could have been different.

Not good. Restoring is such a slow frustrating process

I'm delighted that it was handled when I was too young to remember. Who wants to fix it in adulthood? Not me.

So glad I don't look like an anteater now. They did me a solid.

Not a problem

Never wished I was uncut, don’t really mind either way. I’m not having kids so I won’t have to make the decision, but I’d likely have them cut too.

Wanting to be uncircumcised is like declaring your pleasure is more important than your partner's pleasure. It's saying you want sex to feel so good that you can't last long enough to satisfy your partner. Anyone who bashes the practice of circumcision is misogynistic.

I know why my parents had me cut. It was because my father had been cut, and that's just what was done at the time. It's not a good enough reason for me, and if I had had sons I would not have allowed them to be cut in turn. My children are not my property.

It's amazing that FGM is outlawed in much of the first world (plus America), but not MGM.

All guys want is equality. Yet ne'er a feminist around when men are the unrepresented victims.

Stupid question

Ah yes, more antisemitism. Hittin on all cylinders I see you Nazi fucks. I feel excellent about it, not only does my cock not look like a sad elephant, but it's more hygienic than leaving unnecessary skin over the tip of my dick. Thanks for asking.
