It's more traumatic and a more difficult procedure the older you get. That might have something to do with it. It's one of the primary reasons it's done on infants: it heals easier and they don't remember it.For some reason I've forgotten, a guy at work got a circumcision at about age 50 and the reduction in pleasure was substantial.
Circumcision is not a sexual dysfunction unless it is performed incorrectly.
Don't know. I only know our doctors say it has health benefits and no one I know who has been circumcised (statistically 3/4 of all men) complains about it.
You can't blame God for silly people killing their babies by authorizing a radical circumcision procedure which has nothing to do with the much simpler Abrahamic circumcision that is a sign of the covenant.I'm not God. I can't answer why He chose a particular thing to be the sign, only that He did.
As someone who does not believe I always wondered about it in the first place, by that I mean why was it ordered in the first place? Why would a god make people a certain way, then ask them to mutilate themselves, if it's for hygiene ?
Especially as it became not necessary for non Jewish Christians at all, and in fact those who insisted on it were called out by Paul "Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision." Philipians 3:2 (KJV) strong wortds.
Anyway no excuse in my book today, for any strictly non medical reason.
I still say it's unnecessary these days.
Why do you assume that doctors and nurses are recommending the procedure for religious reasons rather than medical ones?And yet nurses and doctors still perform the procedure, and recommend it being done to their family members. Just shows how religious ideals can overweigh common sense like 'Don't cut your child's privates'
I'd say it's for the same reason that children of certain jungle tribes do this:As someone who does not believe I always wondered about it in the first place, by that I mean why was it ordered in the first place?

Because circumcision of infants is not a victimless crime.If you don't like it, don't do it. But why demonise others for doing something that's been done for thousands of years without harm, and was at one time commanded by God in the bible? There are heaps of other debatable and more serious medical procedures that aren't in the bible (vaccination, removal of tonsils, removal of the appendix), and no one gets demonised for these. Why?
Their son - their choice. And if you're looking for victims, there are plenty who need to have it done later in life, due to problems which could have been prevented by having it done earlier. If it was such a crime and the loose skin so important, why would God command it as a covenant symbol, and not something else?Because circumcision of infants is not a victimless crime.
No such thing. Females are not born with foreskin, so how can they have it snipped off? The barbaric practice of cutting off the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] is rightly termed female genital mutilation.What are your thoughts on female circumcision?
Demonstrably wrong.No such thing. Females are not born with foreskin, so how can they have it snipped off?
You should be free to do whatever you like to your own penis. Others peoples, not so much.If you don't like it, don't do it
Not for Jews. It is a mark of the Abrahamic covenant.I still say it's unnecessary these days.
