    Love my floppy weiner and its skin.

    Multiple different partners have drawn a face on it and pretended like it was talking. It's great.

    I feel legitimate sadness for people that are immediately subjected to this abuse as children. Like "hey I'm born, just trying to get used to this world I'm sorta getting a hang of it, oh wait what's that knife for?" It has to have some kind of psychological effects.

      If you were a newborn and I crushed and tore off your thumb with a wrench, it wouldn't matter how much I believed I was doing it for your own good; your experience would be that of horror, agony, and trauma.

      BTW did I mention that the vast majority of circumcisions in the US performed before ~2000 used no pain alleviation whatsoever?

          Even if it were true that babies felt it but didn't "remember" it, that justification always struck me as an extremely fucked up. By that logic, the most barbaric torture would be acceptable as long as you erased it from the victim's memory in like, a week or two. Technically, none of us will remember anything in 200 years...
