Exactly what I was thinking.

I gotta say... I've been with both intact and cut men... and either way I don't spend a whole lotta time looking... I just um... do it.

And in terms of her child.. well, thats just silly.. and a ridiculous excuse for cutting... : that poor child, his natural body made his mother sick... thats real nice lady.

Oh. That makes me want to cry!!! When I see my DS's beatiful, healthy, intact body I am sad that anyone chooses to mutilate their sons for aesthetic reasons (or weak "medical" ones).

Really? I look at my intact ds and I do think it is much more aesthetically pleasing than a circumcised penis. He looks just like a sculpture of a cherub peeing into a fountain. He's a piece of living art! A circumcised penis makes me sad. It doesn't look right.

That woman in the OP has some really deep-seated issues. I am so sad that she would transfer that to her son.

I know this is going to come out sounding weird, but I love ds' penis. It's beautiful. All whole penises are. Circd penises just... look funny. I'm married to a circd penis, but only because i decided to choose my man based on his personality and decided his mutilated penis just came with the package, I didn't count it against him. I think we Americans are just too busy being obsessed with what's going on between everyone elses legs, that's why we're so screwed up.

by the way, i'm not trying to offend anyone, I realise that an intactivist could be considered "obsessive" also. an intactivists obsession is good, because it protects the innocent from being maimed.

It's a prosecuter's obsession more than a perp's. The fetish is the object; if someone started scalping babies I'd be just as mortified & work to stop that. But of course, perps are only this obsessive about children's genitals.

I think the one's who actualy beleive there's a medical reason are more disturbing and more difficult to convince. This Mom doesnt even live in the US.

I hope that woman is sterile.

Clearly she's also never seen the results of a botched circ either.

And 50% of the boys in the US are NOT getting circ'd, which should also tell you something - the rest are being harvested to feed the biotech industry, because of their gullible parents.

I know I'm coming to this late - but I find it so disturbing that people think that it is 'normal' for a little tiny baby to have an exposed glans - something that denotes SEXUAL EXCITEMENT.

I mean -that is just warped on so many different levels.

That it would make you sick to see your son's genitals in their normal, natural state, so you had them cut so they would look SEXUALLY AROUSED, and then she doesn't feel sick anymore?! :

She doesn't know what she's violently forced her son to miss.

It looked like there were some INTACTivists posting tring to convince her before she has kids but it wasn't working.

For those who missed my post b4 the edit the woman on this other board stated that she and her DH had both had friend's who had bad consequences from not being circ'd as babies so she beleives there is a medical reason for circ and will circ any child.

I can beleive she and her DH met men with problems but I feel like I would have a harder time convincing someone like her than someone who say is doing it for social conformaty.

NAK

Bolded mine.

Exactly.
I feel the Very same way.

DS is gorgeous, scars and blood and discoloration due to skin scarring up - is not.

I remember reading a while back about a sexual study done where they surveyed heterosexual women about what turned them on and how they felt about penises. Based on the results, they theorized that woman can be divided into 3 categories. One category was about 5-10% of women, who were generally unconventional and free thinkers, strong and successful, preferred strong and successful men, and they loved their partners' penises. The second group, making up about 80% of the population, was women who were sort of average in their views, preferred to be wooed in the traditional romantic ways, and had no particular emotional response to the idea of their partner's penis. The last group, about 5-10%, tended to be fearful women, the kind who are easily indoctrinated, preferred to be loved from afar and put up on a pedestal without much actual physical contact, and tended to think penises are ugly and dirty. I don't know if there is any value in that survey, but it was food for thought about the way people view penises.

Very insightful analysis.
