I had my boys circd. Not for religious reasons but for the cleanliness. I would never go down on a man that wasn't.. ick! And its not like they can't use it anymore or not feel pleasure. I'm the first in my family tohave it done and I won't take it back. The boys can thank me later that they won't have to go through that pain as adults.
Guys, if you feel violated, like a you're missing a piece.. stop being so selfish and get over it. Its soo much better that way, no need to feel insecure about it. Seriously, if it were that terrible would they still be doing in today at the st. Judes childrens hospital?
And if its considered assault, I would be concerned that piercing ears is next for real.
Btw, circumsicion started as part of the Jewish covenant right. Isn't it funny how its the germans taking this up? I thought the germans were all hardcore and stuff.. my impression is that its a political stab at the Jews.edit on 29-6-2012 by Cytra because: (no reason given)

Yeah except I'm not a newborn, defeats the purpose of doing it at birth. I thought men want us to trim the bush to make it prettier? Women didn't have rights 200 years ago, so clearly we're not the reason people were doing it in the first place. And a circd wang stinks too if its not washed either you know. Besides, what's wrong with my opinion? Opinions are not wrong, no matter how you all think you're "debunking" them. That's why they're called opinions. I'm just stating mine, its a public forum after all. And my opinion about the whole thing is that I think the Germans are trying to stick it to the Jews.

Complete trust in authority (St. Judes hospital do it so it must be good) coupled with either an inability to absorb facts or a lack of desire to self educate. Movie-type race generalizations and the most incredibly arrogant assertion that your butchered children can thank you later for their loss of body parts, sensitivity and sexual pleasure.
I know you thought you were doing your best at the time, but given the amount of information available in this thread alone, have you ever considered you might have been misled?
"The publication of three recent studies showing that circumcision of adult, heterosexual men reduces their risk for acquiring human immunodeficiency virus infection and other sexually transmitted infections has stimulated interest in the practice of routine newborn male circumcision."
Women who have sex with uncircumcised men appear to be at higher risk of cervical cancer. And a lack of circumcision has been linked to the spread of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV can cause cervical cancer.

So I looked around and there is evidence that circumsicion is beneficial for more than just cultural reasons:

Edited to add that this doc says there are lots of benefits also:

um, the german law states that circumcisions are no longer allowed, unless it is for medical reasons.
nothing to do with women, from what I understand.
Please note that it's ok to have your child circumcised in Germany, provided a doctor says it should be done. They see no harm in it, unless, of course, it is part of a muslim, or jewish, tradition.
then it's outlawed.
pointless law. Jews and muslims will still have the procedure, either in secret, or they will first get a jewish or muslim doctor to say it's a necessity. Since it will be near impossible to police this law, it begs the question - why bother? As pointed out, there's an rapidly growing jewish population in berlin, there's a very large muslim population in germany as well. How best to slow, or halt, the growth of this population? Since wholesale slaughtering of a people has proven to be a bad idea in Germany, they seem to be taking a more crafty approach. Tell the jews and muslims they are welcome to live here but, if they plan on having a family, they should only have girls because the boys can't be circumcised here.

I think this is pretty stupid. Where do you draw the line here? Are they going to outlaw religions because that is considered mentally abusing children?

just for muslims and jews because everything old becomes chic and, apparently, nazism is tres cool in germany these days.

According to a few friends I have in Germany they are all for this overwhelmingly (except the aforementioned two groups) kind of strange for a country that denounces everything racist..
