Involuntary circumcision is an issue of human rights, and for that reason, it is a political issue.
The fact that, in the US, all forms of female genital cutting are illegal (unless excused by a "medical" need, which may or may not be legitimate), even those forms objectively less severe than male circumcision, is a violation of equal protection.
The male prepuce is an integral part of the penis, and inside it contains a set of specialized erogenous tissues including the ridged band (which extends from the frenular area to the mucocutaneous junction) and the frenular delta. These tissues are damaged or destroyed by circumcision.
In addition, circumcision fundamentally alters the way a man masturbates. Look here:

You can plainly see that the prepuce facilitates masturbation without the need for artificial lubricants. Coupling that with the fact that the inner preputial tissues in and of themselves are highly erogenous, I hope I have illustrated why robbing young men of this part of their body is wrong and needs to stop.

By the way, the picture in the OP is mislabeled. It is a form of circumcision clamp, but not a Gomco (Goldstein Medical Company) clamp. It came up as a Gomco on google images. I'm not sure what kind of clamp it actually is
This one is the real Gomco clamp, the preferred foreskin crushing device in the US.

>Female circumcision is used to oppress women
>Male circumcision sets him free
>>55265717
If it "sets the man free", why was it used as a mark of slavery?
>>55265097
I hate that I was mutilated at birth.
I hate even more that it's illegal to do to females what was done to me since 1995.
I hate even more than that that stolen foreskins are broken down for their fibroblasts and used for medical products.
>Not working to restore your foreskin
Just getting that out of the way now, everyone unhappy with their circumcision should know about it.
>>55267360
I'm restoring but want to get all the nerve endings back. I'm praying for something like Foregen or WFIRM to become a reality.
I dont understand why people who are cut need lube to wank.
I dont need lube to wank, and I have a mushroom dick, not a turtleneck. You still have skin you can use to. Obvs you noobs aren't using a firm enough grip...
>>55265097
> douche liberal who cares more about a piece of skin than an unborn child.
>>55267902
Because not everyone has extra skin to use, in fact a large percent of Americans have tight cuts and removed frenulums
My own circumcision is incredibly tight, to the point that the skin is taunt even when I'm flaccid, and to make matters better I don't have any precum at all.
That being said I still don't use lube because I have no feeling in the shaft or outer edge of the glans, so for me jerking off entails porn until I'm close then massaging the head in the penny-sized area around the urethra where I still have feeling
How do I convince someone to not mutilate their child? Keep in mind this is a woman so things like "reason" and "logic" are not applicable.

You can't really "restore your foreskin". Foreskin restoration is a misnomer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj_nYcumC0c
You could in theory use tissue expansion techniques to try to induce your shaft skin to re-cover your glans little by little over a course of months or years by creating more cells, but the end result is not the same thing as a real foreskin. And if you do it wrong, you can end up hurting yourself.
Also, there are radically different styles of circumcision out there. The advice you get for re-covering the glans on the Internet could be applicable to one style, but not another.
For example, if you have a "beauty cut" (an extra "low" style of circumcision where the inner mucosa is removed and the shaft is stitched to seal at the corona), whatever tiny residual amount of scarred inner mucosa you have left is buried in your coronal sulcus. You can't safely expand that--attempting it would end up ripping apart a long-sealed scar. You MIGHT be able to expand your shaft skin to roll over the scar and your glans, but it would be a very superficial imitation of a real foreskin.
If you have a conventional Gomco clamp style circumcision, expanding inner mucosa may be more feasible. Gomco cuts are more common in the US. Beauty cuts are fairly common in Europe but more rare in the US.
A lot of guys talk very generally about restoring without getting into important details like this.

Pic related. None of the skin you have is "extra". You're supposed to have a foreskin. When they DO mutilate children, the have no idea how long the kid's cock will be as an adult and erect. There's no such thing as a "standard" circumcision.
>>55265097
circumcision made me gay
>>55265097
the real hypocrisy isn't why we circumcise boys
its why we DON'T circumcise girls baka desu senpai
>>55267902
Do you have mobile shaft skin when you have an erection, or is the skin held drum-tight against the shaft?
If it's the former, there's your answer.

'There is no consensus among American physicians as to how much foreskin should be cut off.'
>>55268242
One is that the rate of complication is 2% in America, does she want roll the dice on a 2% chance of her newborn son dying or hating her until his last breath, all for an unnecessary cosmetic surgery?
Also ask if she'll be circumcising her daughters because that has all the same alleged health benefits.
Then there's other fun things to bring up like the possibility of leaving her child with a buried penis (Since circumcision of someone with a buried penis guarantees that it will need surgery to correct later in life), the fact that circumcised men are 8x more likely to develop ED, etc...
>>55268242
To me, women don't seem any more irrational than men on this issue.
Read this, understand it, and explain it to her.
http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/cold-taylor/
You can also explain to her that some of the advocates of circumcision are perverts who get aroused at the thought of children getting circumcised.
http://intactwiki.org/wiki/Circumfetish
Some of these guys hang out on forums and message boards and try to convince parents to circumcise their kids.
>>55268661
I'm not sure that circumcised men are 8X more likely to develop ED. That's probably not a credible claim.
But circumcision does destroy some of the most erogenous parts of the penis such as the ridged band. If she doesn't even know what a ridged band is, she is not capable of giving informed consent to have it amputated off her son.
Circumcision destroys the ridged band, one of if not the most sensual parts on the male body. Once that is gone, it is gone for good.

>To me, women don't seem any more irrational than men on this issue.
This one is. I was trying to convince her and she basically admitted she just didn't want girls to "laugh at his dick" and that when she saw uncircumsized penises herself, she thought it meant the mothers didn't care about the sons enough. I tried explaining it meant the mothers actually cared since some doctors cut unless specifically told not to.
There seems to be an element of punishment to circumcision. Like the parents are punishing the child for being a boy.
Both parents have a motive. The mother more than likely wanted a female child, and the father is jealous because there's a new male in the household who will be sucking his wife's breast and stealing a lot of her attention/affection.
I wonder if doctors asked "Would you like us to remove your child's entire penis?" how many parents would say "Yes." Probably more than you would think.
>>55269202
Does she understand that the prepuce is not just a flap of skin, but in fact one of the most erogenous parts of the penis?
I am circumcised and I hate it. That's why I made this thread. If I were intact and a girl laughed at me, I'd tell her to fuck off and move on to a decent woman.
Even though I'm cut I wouldn't touch a girl who would shame a man for being intact. I'd be disgusted by her ignorance.
Not that it should even matter all that much, but she doesn't even know that he'll grow up to live in an area where circumcision is the norm. Maybe he'll move to Canada one day. Maybe he'll live in England. Maybe he'll be an English teacher in China. She has no idea.
Problems.
>>55269240
Freud thought the same thing, or something along the same lines.
Although he was a Jew, he did not have his sons circumcised.
>>55268661

I do think there is a subconscious level of betrayal/punishment when a parent subjects their kid to this.
I'm disturbed further at how many people "go with the flow" and do this without question. I'm disturbed at how many cut fags defend their abuse and inflict it on others.
Every single day when I wake up and I'm washing my cock, and feeling how sensitive my beautiful foreskin is, I thank God, and my parents, for not removing it and turning me into a cutlet.
Circumcision removes so many nerves they might as well just remove the entire penis.

Exactly, it's a lot like people who defend meat consumption, as if there is even an argument to be made.

Thanks for rubbing it in.
>>55265097
Why the fuck do people care so much about this?
>tfw your dick wasn't mutilated at birth
>>55270736
You're a lucky man.
Histological dissection and analysis have confirmed that the prepuce is densely innervated with erogenous fine-touch sensitive nerve endings. Your subjective experience is corroborated by objective scientific research.
No amount of lies and bullshit can undo reality.
>>55270926
Did you read the OP and watch the video in it?
>>55265097
My parents let a goddamn Jew doctor cut mine. The rage I feel towards all parties is unspeakable. The fact that the national discussion is STILL on the treatment of females while men in the same country are mutilated at birth and are blowing their brains out by any means available by age 20 makes me so mad. Men are treated like they are less than worthless to the point that a 22 year old who drinks alcohol and smokes cannabis everyday is shrugged off as "going through a phase" rather than as victim of people around him treating him like he is a mistake for not being born female worthy of saving.

Are you asking why men are concerned about their dicks?
