No... that should read:

TIL Many parents mutilate their son's penis because they are to lazy to teach him how to bathe and don't want to deal with a simple and easily treated issue.

I what?! Maybe I was too young back then but I never remember my folks having to tell me how it works, you do it right by default...don't you?


Well Europe has little going for itself but its easy to find the jews here if the time should ever come.

I walk through the house swinging my foreskin in a circle and it makes a whistling noise.

Circumcision is an evil Jewish religious ceremony with absolutely zero medical benefits

Period end of story

I knew 2 men that had to have it in their 30's because the foreskin never fully retracted. Yikes.

I once heard of a kid who had to have a circumcision because he wasn't able to pee. Around age 6 or 7 (an "emergency circumcision") IIRC. The fact that circumcision can be practical and not just aesthetic still baffles me even nearly ten years after learning this.

Circumcision is never medically necessary. All that was required here was a minor enlarging of the end but instead the decided to cut the entire tip off. Circumcision can be practical and easy but it is never necissary

I would tend to agree with this. The medical industry wastes no time in scheduling a procedure $$.

How did he pee for the first 6 years?

[ - ] SilentByAssociation 2 points 2.4 yearsDec 3, 2022 06:50:25 ago (+2/-0)

Through his urethra. Still does to this day.

I didn't get all of the details. It was the first time I heard of an emergency circumcision and I was kinda speechless.

Quick! This gentile is uncircumcised!

It's those missing details though. The claim seems to be that his foreskin grew closed? This seems unlikely, possible I guess.

It's likely that as he grew the foreskin did not keep pace and there was a tightening effect, pinching the urethra closed. Full removal of the foreskin is unnecessary. It can be stretched. Cutting is a only needed in the most severe cases.
