      Different people are effected differently. Tip of my dick is numb because they screwed it up. I don't think they even realized they screwed it up because it looks normal.

        I'm learning right now that people have sensation on that part of their penis. Like, very good sensations? This has be super fucked up thinking how I haven't been able to feel there with my significant other. It's like I'm less because of that.

          imagine the feeling you get when you kiss someone and they tickle the roof of your mouth with their tongue. In fact you can just do this to yourself.

          the glans is basically like that, but maybe twice as strong?

          Close your eyes and have your partner rub a feather over your fingertips, then have them do the same over your glans. My fingers are way more sensitive, and my glans is about as sensitive as my elbow.

          The intact penis contains more fine-touch nerve endings that all ten fingers combined.

            Ya we tried something similar. Literally feel more sensation down the shaft than the actual glans being touched.

        Yeah, I have no sensation on my glans. My circumcision was botched.

      I'm circumcised. No complications, never any issues growing up. Then I had sex and couldn't cum. It took multiple tries to ever get to the point where I could orgasm because of the lack of sensation. It caused me and my partners a lot of confidence issues. It also made having a kid a lot harder. Any circumcised person is a victim of abusive trauma. Watch the procedure and tell me it isn't abusive. Just because we "cope" well later on and are likely to have productive and normal lives, it doesn't make it any better. Its just another blind spot that feminists tend to have, and dismiss out of hand as 'not important' .

      Yeah I was super into it for a bit until I realized it was mostly yet another vehicle for anti-Semitic and Islamophobic stupidity.

        I'm not going to stop fighting for human rights just because some people suck.

          Nor should you but the INTACTIVISTS are literally a bunch of white men pretending that they're getting clipped by the MATRIARCHY

        No, it's not. People are so upset about it because it personally affected them.

        The majority of American boys are circumcised:

        If anything Jews in America tend to be more liberal/lefty than Christians.
        The circumcision rate in Israel is unknown but decreasing: https://forward.com/news/israel/391496/circumcision-rates-are-slipping-even-in-israel
        https://www.reuters.com/article/us-israel-circumcision/in-israel-some-rebel-against-circumcision-idUSBRE8AR0M720121128

        Islamic circumcision does not have strict rules, the preferred age is 7 days or 7 years old or in puberty.
        That can be done with consent, and local anesthesia which is usually not given to babies.
        https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/islamethics/malecircumcision.shtml

        Circumcision is only a tiny part of it, but religious reform and modernization can improve millions of lives.

          No, it’s not. People are so upset about it because it personally affected them.

          Nah, again, it's mostly white men who want to feel like victims. I am against circumcision but I'm hardly an INTACTIVIST

            I've never encountered another human being where I thought them wanting to feel like a victim could be a reasonable explanation for any of their behavior.
            Some people want to play the victim, but that is completely different.

          I agree with that but denying that a huge portion of the interest comes from anti-Muslim anti-Jewish sentiment is just ridiculous.

          As with most things, you can see the contradiction by looking at a related phenonemon, and gauging the amount of public outrage about that. Are people outraged about girls having their ears unconsentingly pierced by their parents?
