The testimonials on this blog are from real people who (mostly) come from the USA. This blog serves to document common circumcision complications and the prevailing ignorance surrounding this archaic practice. Singly, reports of circumcision harm are dismissed as anecdotal. Collectively, these reports are proof that circumcision damages boys and the men they become.

Every day, new parents across the country are confronted with the question of whether to circumcise their infant sons. Here are the strongest arguments for and against circumcision:
FOR
- Penis tans more evenly
- Kid already European enough as it is
- Never have to wash genitals
- Lots of really cute cuts available these days
- Frames the balls better
- Baby will probably have some leftover painkillers
- Not our penis we’re talking about here
AGAINST
- Penis loses value once removed from original packaging
- Get to describe baby as “my fully intact son”
- Mohel looks like he’s had about eight cups of coffee
- Probably have to do some paperwork
- Not performing circumcision immediately after birth allows parents to hold it threateningly over son’s head for rest of life
- Traditional family gathering just as enjoyable without foreskin
- Some individuals wary of having someone cut off a piece of their penis with a knife
