Men and women are not the same

Genesis 17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. Genesis 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. Genesis 17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

Do you work in the healthcare profession? Because I do. FGM And male circumcision do not have the same dangers and risks for adverse reactions. In males it is a skin flap that is removed though painful because there are nerve endings there. Previously done in the past for religious and hygienic purposes.

I live in north America and the majority of health professionals do not support male circumcision unless it is done for a religious purpose as is outlined in the Bible, Koran and Torah. There is no passage that supports FGM that I know of and is very harmful to the female.

It's not the same procedure for both genders like you think. And most men become circumcised as infanys, though in south Africa it's a rite of passage that traditionally occurs at the onset of puberty.

In regards to your stance on tradition, once an act no longer serves the people or positively advances them it must be done away with. Traditions and cultures is cultivated by people and can be done away with as well.

I believe it should be the choice of the individual of they want to be circumcised. They should wait until the child is of age to decide, more specific to males.

hoodboy:
The double standard is appalling, if it's good for boys, then it's also good for girls... Personally I detest the way Americans criminalise the culture of female circumcision and in the same breathe argue in support of male circumcision. Makes no sense at all,

same way female circumcision can be dangerous is the same way male circumcision is also dangerous. I wish I can post some pictures on this thread and maybe we will all get enlightened

My assumption is that male circumcision does not have negative effect like that of the female, hence the need to discourage it

Why is it not okay to mutilate female children but its okay to mutilate male children? Let me guess, our ridiculous religions says its okay to mutilate male children.
Why the double standard?
Calm down, circumcision in males is solely by cutting off the foreskin, which often times tend to make the male Instruments like a horrible worm. If you've have ever seen an uncircumcised male, then you'd understand what I'm talking about. And unlike that of the males, which is often done to rid the foreskin, the sole purpose of circumsion in females is just to cut of the clitoris, which often stimulates women. Traditional belief is that a woman won't be promiscuous once she's circumsed. In reality, such a woman is dead to sex. Even when she gets turned on, sex with her is like mating with a corpse, because she doesn't feel a thing, no matter how hard you try.

Why the clit then?
The clitoris comes alive when a lady is turned on by accumulating blood at its tip. Such that once it is touched, she becomes super sensitive to the present atmosphere.

I'm no doctor, but I grew up in a home where my parents were never ashamed to talk about sex.

Madam, truth be told, it's either yours wasn't done properly or that the person who did pitied you during the process. You said 'sometimes', and not always. Regardless, it is not to say that it is a good one. Beyond what the OP highlighted, the whole goal of female circumcision bothers around fidelity. And the question it leaves with those affected is;

1. How often do they crave sex?
2. How often do they derive pleasure/orgasm from it?
3. How long does it take to arrive at a single orgasm?
4. How responsive are they towards sex?
5. On a scale of 1-10, how would they rate their sex lives?

These are some of the very few questions that defines the aftermath of the horror called female circumcision.

The primary reason for both mutilation is to reduce sexual pleasure..... Both the mutilated male and female enjoy sex to a reduced degree compared to their unmutilated counterparts.
Do to religious backing for male mutilation is as become socialy okay but due to a lack of religious backing for female mutilation it became socially wrong.
N. B Male mutilation was a practice of the jews, that later got inculcated into Abrahamic religion (islam and christianity)
There is no medical backing whatsoever for Male circumcision, all that talk about a cleaner penis is just nonsense because the same can be said about growing a beard, you have to clean shocked

to answer your questions

1)circumstances like stress, movies(sex scenes) and availability of a d!ck affect my urge for sex

2)some positions like riding ontop increases my chance of having an orgasm, so I know what works for me

3) it depends on factors like how horney I was before sex,,fore play and the the guy in question, because I never reached orgasm until I met my their boyfriend, let's just say he knew my soft spots

4)every woman has her soft spot, I know that even if I am not in the mood,my boyfriend always knew how to turn me on

5)I would rate mine 7

Thats wrong, you miss the point about circumcision or about sexual intercourse.... The male and female circumcision is to reduce sexual pleasure not to remove totally

calm down! nobody here caused your woe... I Dont understand your grieve.
you can as well mutilate your daughters for all you care.
however, majority, I mean majority of people will forever frown at the act.. you just dropped very stupid premise, because our grandmothers went through it, make everyone undergo the same treatment? dear, you were just unfortunate.
how would you know it affected our grand mothers, are you an ancestor? abi our grand and great grand mothers' ghosts show for your dreams to narrate their ordeal to you..
you experience orgasm sometimes, probably a lie or you Dont know what orgasm is, but I wanna experience it most times... wink and will continue to frown at this act!!

It's interesting that majority can't just sit back, check inbetween the lines and make sense from some piece of aryicle

While my submission is that ask ur self why named mutilation in d case of a female and not mutilation in d case of a male child. Meanwhile I want anyone to tell us here where either in d Bible or Quran where a text condems female circumcision. Also do u prefer dt our ladies become prostitutes n give birth to bastards than reduce their sexual urge if at least that's d reason female circumcision is legislated by culture. Let's check a publication in d US in 2013 where it was reported dt by d year 2050 there won't be a legitimate child dt all woman would have given birth to bastards due to high promiscuity. Circumcision is circumcision and nothing like mutilation.
Lastly let's be careful before destruction befalls us all later in future some beggars would emerge saying say no to *male genital mutilation * so everyman would be wt.......??

There is no valid health benefit of sexuallymutilating a boy. Stop listening to your religious leaders and listen to actual health professionals.
The only health benefits of male circumcision is equal to the health benefits of not keeping a beard.
