THIS is why Im an intactivist . THIS is why we need faaar better sex education that illegalizes Male, Female and Intersex Genital Mutilation!
Study of Danish men shows that amongst about 800,000 men tested those who were circumcised had higher STD and HIV rates

Study of almost 400 men shows that after circumcision more of them reported having more difficulty achieving orgasm and masturbating than before https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17155977/
histological study of 26 men showed that the foreskin was the most neurologically sensitive part of the penis. The foreskin also played a part in protecting the glan of the penis from rubbing against clothing that made it more sensitive in those with a foreskin https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/joa.13481
Intact America Survey finds that the majority of mothers who were prompted to give their son a circumcision accepted meanwhile the majority who were not did not give their son a circumcision. mothers were asked on average 8 times if they wanted to circumcise their son. Soft sells,” such as being handed a consent form, increased circumcisions by 137%. Instead mothers should be given informational materials on how to clean theirvintact son's foreskin. the foreskin will correctly retract after late puberty https://intactamerica.org/press-release-having-a-baby-boy-get-ready-for-the-circumcision-sellers/
American Academy of Pediatrics representatives get grilled on questions that have to do with the functionality of the foreskin AND OF COURSE, they cannot answer them. Because they're corrupt bribed shills!

A study of nearly 200 adolescents from Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and South Africa show overwhelming ridicule of those who have an intact penis and a ton of misinformation. Women believed that men who had a circumcision could be more promiscuous and that having a circumcised penis improved the sexual health of all partners involved in sex. Men reported a widespread support from female lovers to get a circumcision. There is no evidence that male genital mutilation or circumcison leads to significant increases in pleasure or decreases in disease transmission rates . The circumcision propaganda machine is clearly working!

according to the CDC and what they examined amongst men in the USA at least. The rates for breast cancer and penile cancer in men are actually about the same.

https://www.healthline.com/health-news/cancer-of-the-penis-is-rare-but-can-quickly-become-deadly
Therefore, In men preventative mastectomies against breast cancer are more justifiable than circumcisions as preventative measures against penile cancers.
(And also yes being bigger or having more skin does increase your odds of getting some cancers as having more skin cells increases your odds of getting cancer... but I doubt that penile cancer is one of them - https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34515952)

"Does Circumcision Reduce Men’s Sexual Sensitivity? " Sham article that was 'medically reviewed' by a person who...is a writer that majored in English!? HOW!? We don't see people who majored in mathematics medically reviewing articles, right? So why should people who majored in English be the ones to medically review stuff??! We should have had a surgeon or doctor medically reviewing all human anatomy articles

"There Are 20 Different Penis Types — and They’re All Important" SHAM article written by a quack which downplays the terrors of circumcision. Even in the article they recommend that circumcised penises should most likely use lubrication for masturbation...right after saying that circumcised penises function similarly to uncircumcised ones!? wooot!? Another SHAM article that's what!

There has also been a connection found between delayed ejaculation and circumcision. Some men with circumcised penises have found that the suffer from delayed ejaculation as a result of the numbness https://sci-hub.se/10.1111/and.12101
According to a small survey the prevalence of death-grip syndrome , which is a serious destruction of nerves in the penis due to harsh masturbation, is moreso prevalent in circumcised men than in non circumcised men.
http://www.joseph4gi.com/2019/11/death-grip-and-circumcision-is-there.html?m=1 I for one have suffered from death-grip syndrome even though Im a virgin so let me give you what information I have gathered about it from myself: The foreskin is a massive organ remember! It covers the whole of the penile shaft from the meatus to the testicles and it slides back and forth and acts as a natural protector and solid lubricator for the penile shaft during masturbation or intercourse. Men with no foreskin tend to be gripping the the unprotected urethral shaft , which is not meant to be tightly gripped at all one should note, just as tightly as they would a protected one. That unprotected urethral shaft over time WILL receive thousands of microinjuries and destroyed nerves over time. The loss of nerves in that region means that a man has to grip the unprotected urethral shaft harder and Harder and **HAAARDER ** every time they masturbate and this damage eventually results in a loss of stimulation. I am sure there are many women out there who suffer from dead vagina syndrome which was made worse by THEIR unconsensual circumcision!
https://metro.co.uk/2017/12/13/need-know-dead-vagina-syndrome-7156032/
And finally a study of over 100 men proved that a circumcised penis is FAR less sensitive than a uncircumcised one in the ventral scar and glans of a penis because the foreskin protects the man's ventral scar AND glans from unwanted overstimulation (like when a man's glan is rubbing against his pants on a shaky bus ride) and environmental damage (like water running down his urethra during a shower) - https://sci-hub.se/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2006.06685.x It is possible that circumcised women ALSO experience a decrease in stimulation to the clitoris without the clitoral hood due to , once again, overstimulation and environmental damage and it is possible that a woman gets her clitoral hood chopped off in a unconsensual circumcision. Heck some women have reported having their ENTIRE clitoris butchered off during their genital mutilation! ...I believe, and I'm sure most men agree with me, that a woman and all other non-males has the right to be born with and grow up wit h a vagina that is unharmed and unadulterated and gives her as much sensitivity, freedom and pleasure as she wants. Now, why do I so many men not have this right to having a protection against over stimulation and environmental damage?! In this case men, women , and non-binary peoples are ALL are getting fucked over equally by genital mutilators!
This is, unfortunately, the reason it was originally done
Good lord this may as well be a peer reviewed article behind a pay wall. Good stuff.
Thank you very much for sharing
