    If I’m not mistaken, the FGM they’re referring to is cutting off their clitoris.

    To compare to circumcision would mean just trimming the clitoral hood exposing the clitoris, not cutting it off.

    I’m circumcised, they didn’t cut the entire tip off, I can still use the lil guy. Also, like the other dude said, women tend to be relieved to find out you’re circumcised.

    I see where you’re coming from, but I just don’t think comparing the two is very equal.

      Lol why would a woman care? All you do is pull back the skin and bam looks the same. My SO actually likes feeling the skin go back and forth. It’s a worthless procedure In a first world country with ample water to clean oneself. Not even that difficult to rinse.

      I never said they were equal, I said you can compare the two.

      I know they don’t cut the tip off, they cut the foreskin off, because a cereal magnate in the 1800s thought it would make it harder for boys to masturbate.

      Also, like the other dude said, women tend to be relieved to find out you’re circumcised.

      American women maybe, lol wtf.

      Like I said, just because it’s made socially acceptable doesn’t make the barbaric practice any more barbaric. Sorry about your hood, bro.

          The thought of a bellend rubbing against underwear all day for 30 years makes me want to die lol.

          Cheese pocket is fucking hilarious, thank you for that.

            I imagine being in tact would feel better because it’d be protected like it’s supposed to. I haven’t had any issues with the underwear, but I did recently find underwear down at the Walmart that has a separate compartment specifically for your junk. It’s an absolute game changer. No more awkward ball pulling!

            I was just messing with you, I am bored!
