    I just cannot imagine how or why this is a common practice anywhere - nor how it became one.

    NSFL: Having said that I think a guy became UK famous for being on a medical tv programme and confessing to have never rolled his foreskin back and giving his helmet a rinse. The cheesiest bellend ever. He was in his twenties…

      uhh … for people with phimosis, there’s kind of a way to clean it (somewhat) regardlessly. basically, pinch the tip of the foreskin together while peeing. that will inflate the whole thing (foreskin) like a balloon while it fills with piss. then, release the piss. do this repeatedly and it will kind of be similar to a light rinse with water under the foreskin. piss is almost sterile so there’s no risk of infection from this. you can use your fingers for pinching, just wash them afterwards.

    I do wish I was never circumcised, but I have way, way, WAY more important things to get upset about than some foreskin on my dick.

      Same. Like yeah, circumcision is a barbaric practice but it also happened to me so long ago and has had no negative impact on me so I don’t really have it in me to care that I was circumcized. It should still be stopped because it does harm people and I care about that. But as far as I go, I care far more about the little chunk of ear I lost on a trampoline as a kid than a little bit of missing dick skin.

    Never bothered me tbh. But then again I will have the whole thing lobbed off in a couple of months so I wasn’t really that attached anyways.

    My circumcision was pretty okay, actually, because they brought in a magician. I don’t even know when he took it. But I know when I saw it: he was doing that thing with the rings that won’t separate, and there it was, holding the two rings together. That was a pretty cool 30th.
